Good morning!!!!

[deerseeker001]

11 with clear Skies with a high of 20 today,sounds like we have a warm up coming in the 30s..We will be doing a little Snow plowing.

 

[txdon]

Coffee just finished brewing. 49ｰ with some light fog this morning. Heading to 66ｰ with a light mist in the morning and clouds all day. Helped txdon clear one if his fence lines yesterday. Still have a distance to go to finish that line. Not sure what a mist means in TX. May cut in to project time.
Good Morning All.

Good Morning! Misty morning means a late start. 51˚ on the hill.
With Ron helping the progress is x4 faster. My body feels it. Even though the grapple works perfectly there is still a lot of trimming the Youpons in the fence and on the side of the trail road and then there are the low limbs and the carful removal and cutting of dead trees lying on the fence.

If you look carefully you can see the fence line.

Good morning, Drew hope the neck gets better. That is a very nice Kitchen!

Bakerg, you probaly had the HP series if it had any size to it.

We had four 375T & five 500T presses control by if I remember correctly CRTC Pathfinders. No major problems with them, just got old and were replaced by new and improved models.

Murph nice install there. Looks like you've worked with copper before. It's all PVC in my area. Why copper?

Thanks, I was a machine builder for VanDorn. Made lots of pipe. I used copper cause 1. that's what was there. 2. that's what I know.

Did you work for VanDorn very long? The company I worked for purchased their Jail Equipment division in the 60s I believe or maybe early 70s. Great people

Supposedly it is foggy and 40, too dark to see... warmed up overnight as it was 34 or less last evening.

Monday afternoon I rode my Harley in 68+ degrees... Go figure.

I need to exercise & go get my girls for visitation. I have a job open house tonight I will attend & still awaiting the "news" I'm waiting for...

TXDon - Thank you for the Bacon wine lesson, I will keep my nose open!

Drew - I think a fireplace in the kitchen would be cool (or should I say Warm? Wonderful?, Hmmm...).

Buppies - I need you to warn me about a week in advance of when I need to attach the snow-plow to my lil red truck "Rusty"...

Thanks and Be well all,
David[/



Will do David if I can remember

65F and .22 inches rain last 24 hours. Hoping today is as nice as yesterday. Was dry enough to get more work done on my cottage fence project.

Be safe
Have a great day.

Murph, nice work on the copper. Like Gary we used to 4 or 5 VanDorns, down to 1 now about 1990 vintage. The rest were not productive enough when compared to newer equipment.

Drew Love the turtles, nice tile job, hope your neck continues to improve :thumbsup:

Dave rotten weather. :shocked::thumbdown:

Good Morning. 1135, sunny, 75F with 70% humidity. Forecast high of 77F with 0% chance of rain this afternoon, and a low of 55F tonight. Looks like another shorts and T-shirt day. Although the ladies doing their workout last night had the air turned down so far it was about to freeze me to death.

Doing household chores this morning. Cleaning lady will be here in a little while, and I have to straighten up before she gets here.

Drew, loved the turtles and the tile. After Christmas you might want to recreate the Grateful Dead's Terrapin Station album cover.

Hope everyone has a good day,

Larro

32F and cloudy @ 12:15 ...

Managed to get the ballast block hooked up and moved out of the shop late last night ... definitely know there's some weight on the butt end with that thing on.

Got the Kubota moved in after that and got the engine oil and hydraulic fluid drained ... in fact, it's been draining since about 02:00.

Disconnected and removed the rear remote valve (3 spool Prince SV stack valve) in order to relocate it to the other side. Will have to modify the mounting bracket. Valve needs repainted/touched up. Will be changing over all the hoses and connections to JIC fittings and upgrading the all QD's to flush face skidsteer type.

Removed the front brush guard in order to weld on some expanded metal with small openings for further protection. Also took off the arm rests on the seat - which had begun to crack - in order to coat them with Plasti-Dip.

Also scoped out the engine compartment to see if there was enough room to mount the oil centrifuge I have for a bypass filter set up. Looks pretty tight ... but I might be able to shoehorn it in there somehow ... we'll see.

Haven't heard anymore from the HVAC guys so far but they are supposed to be out today. I've let the fire in the furnace go out in anticipation ...

Hope everyone has a good day.

I thought you might have been saying you thought he hurt his neck "bird-dogging". I can see how that might hurt your neck, but Drew doesn't really sound like a Pointer & Setter He is a get up and get 'er done kind of guy.

Can you divulge your sources?
NOAA shows above avg temps for 14 days:

and below normal precip:

And the 30 day looks good also.

And Intellicast Intellicast - Alexandria Weather Report in Virginia (22302) shows maybe a spat of rain but most all temps next week above freezing in Alexandria, Va.

I don't see much warmth in our forecast that would correspond with the NOAA predictions.

It hung around freezing all day with fog. The snow had an icy crust on top but no accumulating ice on trees, just warm enough to keep that away. 31F now with freezing rain/mist just north of us. Forecast for Thursday night is a low around 0F or below.

The blog owner has been teaching a couple of interested high school students about weather forecasting lately, making his access to model info available to them. Cool.

32F and clear @ 20:00 ... headed to a low of 22F.

HVAC guy just left ... furnace is fixed.

Air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, and hydraulic filters and associated fluids changed on the Kubota ... also working on a number of mods which have been planned for some time ... but which I never seemed to be able to find the time to get around to.

 

[toppop52]

I hope we don't get another cold snowy winter, but I'll go with the flow, don't have a choice.

Drew take care of your neck it's all you have to hold your head up. Floor looks great.

I got a little more done in my shop today, got another shelving unit onto a caster truck I built. I want the storage, but I want to be able to move it around from time to time.
