Good morning!!!!

Drew, you need to ask Dr, Social worker or Nurse why the delay.

Looks like those vise jaws will be better than new when you're through, RS.

Hopefully the screws will at least hold this time around.

Glad that I didn't get in too big of a hurry and waited until a (theoretically) "good" solution presented itself.

I've never seen vertical notches in one before, and they look like they could be very handy.

They are. I've used them a number of times for holding pipe and round stock while working ... :thumbsup:

Hope you are able to get your solar installation adventure fully resolved to your satisfaction ...

70°F and .05 inches rain.

Got the inner mowing yesterday. Looks like I can chest a couple days getting to rest

Plan to work in garden today as long as dry.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

RS, yesterday I went to use the vice for a quick fix of something and I could not get it to cinch down.... ? ? ? .... sure enough one of the screws was backed out and the other was really loose... then I see your post / pics this morning..... strange.

LS,

One of the problems I was having with mine was that I could get it to tighten up and close, but when I went to loosen and open it up, the jaws would loosen but not open up - you had to pull it open by hand ... :confused3:

The bolt that secures the top half of the vise to the base (via the internal "nut" for the Acme screw) had worked its way out ... so the top half was mostly just sitting there by virtue of its own weight (and the clamp/locking mechanism for the swivel)

Good luck with your painting project ... :thumbsup:

very depressed this morning, first they insinuated out of here by end of week. Now another 9 days.
Going to be hard to take. I was acing PT, no idea why big delay, feel like I'm in jail
more chemo next week

Drew,

I hope you can find out what's going on with the apparent delay.

In the meantime, try not to let it add stress ... it is whatever it is.

Get well soon my friend ... :thumbsup:

A clear and sunny 58ºF for today's low temperature. *Presently a mixed sun and clouds and 78ºF, *Today's high should reach into the low 80ºF's. *I am hoping for some rain tonight-tomorrow. *Hopefully with a couple of embedded T-storms. A bear come by this morning ~4:00AM, but there was nothing to eat nor break. Brogen made his usual ruckus, but there was nothing for him to break either. The Baltimore Orioles have shifted their attention from the oranges that we put out to the sugar water in the B.O. feeder = they have a successful brood. The tomatoes are now planted, caged, and staked. Plan for the remainder of the day = stay out of the heat, take a shower, travel down the road to the bakery for a curbside pickup of a white pizza and some bread. Today their special is sourdough rye.

Drew- My ongoing + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

BEF- Thanks for sharing your sunset. There was quite a bit of weather action to your north and to my south. I had a non-weather event here.

Bruce- As to all the rain it’s like Mother Nature turned off the spigot. This was the pattern the past 3 years if I remember correctly. I have to water the gardens daily this year.

Eric- Thanks for the laugh and the picture of Max speaking with a forked and hairy tongue.

Buppies- I am sorry to read about your cousin. May he RIP.

RNG- Nice moon picture.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

... Birds use my waterfalls for bird bath.

Nice ... :thumbsup:

Don, over the years I had to replace fuel line on my Stihl saw a couple of times. There is better fuel line than OEM.

Yup ... been there and done that ... several times now.

IIRC, Tygon fuel hose is what you want ... it's very flexible, almost resembles silicone rubber.

It's less prone to deterioration with ethanol ... but I believe it too will eventually breakdown, just takes a lot longer.

Eric,

Hilarious picture of Max ... :thumbsup:
