Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Time for a shower, a Philly cheesesteak and fries for dinner, then try out the recliner to see if it still works!

You deserve it (recliner) after all that. Take it easy on that knee.

Good evening all. 43F for the start, overcast, light breeze. Wind stayed light, overcast all day, and high temp was 63F. Happy Palm Sunday to you all. Slow start, did watch chapel's live stream, and revived the fire in insert. Watch recorded news, cooked breakfast for wife, cooked lunch, chicken with apricot glaze, green beans, and rice. :licking: Did go for bike ride today, didn't start till almost 3 so only did 20 m. No nap today.
Buckeye hope your Palm Sunday Service went well.
Eric, may be slow, but powered by porridge is the most reliable, keep the blade sharp.
Bill, little warm for snow isn't it?
Rich glad you got some seat time, and the driveway shows it.
Mike UMCP?
Ron it depends on level of training. When I am prepping for week long ride I try to ride 6 days a week, and if I get weathered out will do some time on stationary trainer. If just doing general maintenance then will shift riding days around weather.
Billy sorry to hear about your TP vendor, hope you have a Dare I say it , cushion, (no pun intended).
Ted, nice update, sound like your neighbor is getting another tractor.
David sounds like your mental health day is spending time with your spouse, I do enjoy my wifey time.
Buckeye glad you were able to clear the glitch up, maybe make a check list for audio end.
Jay that should get you plenty of clearance.
Kyle, think you could get a pressure carb to work, like off a big chainsaw?
Hawkeye, interesting problem on FB maybe try your FB account next time?
Thomas BooBoo back?
Buckeye, guy can't be very smart, restaurants are scale way back, probably fewer cash transactions as well. :confused2:
David there is a lot of room to move around cars!
Ted - nice pics
Randy, nice spray rig, sorry you struck out on flowers.
Jay my face shield has not been cleaned or used in over 10 years!
prayers for all.
stay safe and healthy.

Lunch sounds good there. Sorry about no nap.

Would have to research pressure carbs to see if they could be utilized....

Got started on son's minibike project. Or I should say, picked back up on it. After painting the frame and fenders, we now have a rolling chassis. Will have to start ordering some parts now.

Good morning, temp is 29ｰF and the high will be 50. Wind; calm. A mix of sun and cloud.

My syrup guy is delivering 5 Litres of syrup today...$70.oo in total works out to $14.oo/L

A bank run is in the cards for today and maybe the hardware store again.


Have a healthy day all

$14 Canadian/litre is a good deal from my standpoint. Sounds yummy.

Good morning. Our two week "drought" is over, will let this unpredicted rain shower blow over before I go and check the rest of the sheep.


My preference is to add only water to the oats, cook slowly in a pan, then let it cool slightly until it goes solid. In my youth I would add sugar or treacle, also went through a phase of copying my Scottish neighbour and adding only salt. I have long since been weaned off any additives, many will think that produces extremely bland breakfast food and I would agree, there is something about simple food that is hard to explain.

My wife got me to stop taking sugar in tea or coffee some years ago by refusing to include it on her shopping list. At first I couldn't wait to get back to work to enjoy a drink with added sweetness, then within a week or two I had to stop spooning it in as my taste buds soon changed.

Do you like your coffee with or without ?

The daily gruel. A bit of L4S maple syrup would brighten it up IMHO.
Still can't drink coffee black, but used to drink plain iced tea. I didn't start drinking coffee until after 40 years old.

I've been wearing the same 2 masks for weeks now in public. 170F in the oven for an hour for sterilization.

Snow melted, temps got up to 52F, sun was trying to shine, winds were light... so asked family if they wanted to have a fire out back and roast some marshmellows... yay! Got a fire going, sat around it and enjoyed being outside for awhile.. got a nice bed of coals to roast the marshmellows and had some smores. Grand daughter is new to roasting so she had a blast helping get the fire going and roasting the marshmellows. We all had a nice distraction..

That was nice! Kids need to be distracted from what’s going on.

Good morning. It's 62° here and forecast for 73° this afternoon. We got just over 5" of rain Saturday. I'd rather have that spread over a couple of weeks but .. I'm not on Mother Nature's advisory board.

I decided to take my HF Lynxx Pole saw back apart, yesterday, to clean up the excess grease inside it, while waiting on the missing parts.



I bought a 6 liter ultrasonic cleaner recently and though this would be a good test for it. I put a gallon of Simple Green Pro HD in it, turned heat to 50°C and timer to 10 minutes.






Everything came out really clean and grease free. I gave the ring gear a nice coat of grease and reassembled it and now just waiting on parts. BTW .. HF was no help on parts at all.






In hindsight I probably should have used my parts cleaner first, to remove the bulk of the grease before using the ultrasonic cleaner. I drained the Simple Green out thru a filter, normally used to strain deep fryer oil, and the clumps of grease made the filter nearly plug up. I tried a coffee filter first and that was way too fine.

I'm pretty impressed with the ultrasonic cleaner so ..next project will be to fill it with Evapo-Rust and clean some rusty tools and parts.




Anyone go look at the new Top News Talk site yet?


Hope everyone is staying safe!

Prayers to all.

Rick, I joined the new site but I’m having trouble staying engaged. Looks like it’s turning into another free for all.

61 headed to 66 they say.
I’m deciding whether to wash the house and garages or mow the grass first. Decisions, decisions.

Everyone stay safe! Prayers.

It seems to be dominated by a few “actors” .. especially one that was thrown off this site. Just 24/7 non-stop bashing the President .. and attacking those defending the President ... as far as I’ve read. I think time will tell if it has value and will last.

As long as they get the politics off TBN and return to its roots I am good.

With Friendly missing on the forum and knowing it was available...I would have to chime in. LOL.

Rick glad fp is gone have been to new site same old same old like Toppop hard to engage but still left some comments

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Do you like your coffee with or without ?

Not sure I could face old fashioned rolled oats without some kind of fruit, usually a nice ripe banana, but these days Staying Home means raisins, made with milk in the microwave.

Not much of a coffee drinker, but when I do have it, it's with just a dash of cream. Herbal tea is a favorite, usually with a bit of honey to sweeten it up just a touch.

Good morning to all! Low of 36, going up to 76. Breezes at 15-25 mph, but sunny.

The fire in Florida made our local news Drew, quite the inferno. Wonder how it started....

Rich, the brisket sounds delicious. How long did you smoke it for? I have not had any luck doing brisket

I forgot about all the things I need to do this morning, so the next phase of the landscaping is briefly on hold. Morning and afternoon will be tied up for sure. First up is going to the grocery store. I hope there is enough stock left for what we need.

Got to get moving... everyone have a great day!
