Good morning!!!!

Be careful folks it would be a shame to get this thread locked!

Other than condemning violence, I don’t see anyone taking sides here, just pointing out the inequities. That’s a discussion, not politics. Personally I’ve never been a fan of violent protest regardless of cause. Don’t expect to change. To me and unbiased media serves to keep us all more honest.

I agree with you...this was a traumatic thing that happened and it was sure to end up here...
The mods can (and should) trim the specific posts, if necessary...rather than shut down a very long lasting thread which we all enjoy!

snowblower delivered just fine, put it in reverse and backed it into garage, fits in the spot I had picked out for it, helps that
it's only 24 wide. Delivered with a "we owe" for the battery charger. And it's not the battery I thought at all, not a starting battery, there
is none. Only electric starts with a 110V extension cord. The battery is 7.2V for the electronic fuel injection system only. That's interesting, but the one
shipped with the unit was a 240V Euro charger, not the right one for US. Battery is allegedly good for three months, hope it shows up in that time
Starts very easily by pull starter though.
Went to put my fancy gas in it and realized I needed a bigger funnel, as I was about to spill gas all over my brand new machine.
Something else for my best buddy Mr Bezos.

other than size, wish there was an industry color coding for funnels, e.g. gasoline, diesel, motor oil like there is on fuel cans.
I always wonder about washing the oil residue off a funnel into a gas tank but then a tiny amount of oil probably wouldn't hurt anything.

I found the news commentary and political commentary just as sickening as the incident. I had to turn the news off. Sad times we are in, it’s like 2 fighting little kids and neither side will back down from their rhetoric.

Snowblowers, tractors, and work desk surface mining are all good endeavors. Drew getting a blower just guaranteed a mild winter, thank you very much.

Since I gave the laptop to my son, I now need one for me. He is more critical, his screen kept going out and he would have to reboot. Mine has only 1 of 3 USB ports working.

I walked the farm lane last week. There is a strong temptation to get the tractor out and do some stuff but it would be a bad idea and I would just tear everything up and make a big mess. Maybe it will freeze.

Also itching get tractor out into fields woods but last thing I want to do repair ground when blackflies and there crazy cousins mosquitos.

Working older and slower, but did get the pipe chase installed (finally). Now I can drill holes proper locations and start running the branch lines.

So why a chase? Container wall doesn’t have studs so no easy path as in normal construction, aggravated by fact I have to transition to a studded wall in bathroom. Just one of those cans I kept kicking down the road. Possibly could have run underneath and then in back of cabinets, but not much working room for my clumsy hands and then transition would have been more a challenge. Borrowing from single wall construction of which lots of here locally, the easiest path was along outside of wall. But then I decided I’d add a chase for protection and esthetics. And that’s where it is now . Chase cover will be same siding, painted to match.

Picked up Walmart and Food Lion orders as well as Popeyes chicken, got home about dark thirty. Had two decorations I missed yesterday so I put them away, now I think I’m done. One Nativity had some wind damage, it’s a wire framed affair so I I should be able to repair and fix the lights.
Those are about the highlights of my day. I hope you all did something interesting.
26-44 today with bright sunshine, looks like a near repeat for the next two weeks with maybe a couple of chances of rain.

I have a cattle prod.

Getting their attention is the first step in education.:laughing:
