Good morning!!!!

[RoyJackson]

I found Ron Hall's home number in PM from years back.
Will call him today and say hi from all of us.
Want to make sure he is ok.

Hope the call turns out OK

One of our members sent me Ron's phone number (PM). I hadn't called yet...bit concerned about any reaction. But Drew, I think you're more diplomatic than I am...
Good luck!!!

Ron is a caring man. He sent me a PM several years ago saying if I ever wanted to talk, to call him at home.
Well maybe that works both ways. Now that long distance is toll free, I figure while I'm sitting for hours in the parking lot at church
watching the landscapers work maybe I can catch Ron at home. Where he is taking a picture of some bird while drinking his coffee.
Maybe he needs more privacy and less aggravation. Maybe the loss of his wife is catching up with him. I just want to make sure he
is physically ok. And for sure no discussion of the disease that cannot be named.

31 going to 59. Nice and clear skies.

Don, interesting idea...let me know how that eggshell works out...but is that allowed in your diet? It seems that the use of the eggshells was aimed at poor quality coffee beans or extraction, and you do well on both of those, so probably wouldn't benefit.

Roy, glad your wife is feeling better.

RNG, great pix.

Has anyone tried eggshells in your coffee to improve the taste?

Festus and Chester on Gunsmoke were the only ones I ever knew to use eggshells in the coffee.

36 going to 60 today.
Monthly Breakfast with friends today, we will see who can tell the biggest fib.
I got the Jeep inspected yesterday and found out it had all new brakes. The guy that owns the dealership where I got it inspected is an old boating buddy so we talked about boats and everybody we knew. He offered to buy the Jeep for more than I paid. He sells only trucks and SUV’s. I have to get the tag sticker today while I’m out, bank trip as well. I go to a private tag and title company since our MVA is appointment only and at least two weeks backlog all the time. I save way more on taxes than the fees they charge.

I need to get moving, have a good one.

Good Morning!!!! 69F @ 4:00AM. Sunny. High near 75F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Still a broken record in the 10-day.

I'm up early today after hearing the alarm go off in the van. It reports that the battery voltage is a low 10.9V, and I wonder why since it should be plugged in to a battery charger. Maybe its jealous that the motorcycles have been getting all the attention lately?

Interesting statistic, Drew. What link did you use to find it?

That's about what the dealer quoted to fix the propeller shaft leak on the old Kubota, RS. Made the decision to fix it myself easy. And the decision to sell it, too, as it was starting to leak again. I found a thread here on TBN that the seal had been redesigned by Kubota several times, and has been an ongoing issue.

Finished buttoning up the touring bike yesterday, then dove in repairing a cable on the audio system. It uses 1/8" microphone connectors, and two of the wires on one end had broken off. There are four of them, all very tiny, and the plastic melted when I tried to unsolder them. I had a new connector "in stock" but had a devil of a time getting all of those itty bitty wires in their itty bitty holes. It was an Opti-Visor/tweesers job for sure. It all worked on the test ride, well enough that I heard the radar detector with enough advance warning to slow to more appropriate speeds when passed by one of California's finest coming the other way. Today I'll re-torque the heads, reset the valves, and go for another ride. Probably repeat that another time or two until the head gaskets are properly settled in. Then a grocery run to town should finish the day.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

Festus and Chester on Gunsmoke were the only ones I ever knew to use eggshells in the coffee.

Bird and Wngsprd, I also saw it on TV - Fraiser, and then looked it up. We don't buy eggs so I won't be trying it. Wngsprd, It is not plant-based so just getting the right bean is best. Is there a way to measure the acidity in coffee?

Good morning! 31˚F heading to the mid 70s with sunny skies.
Eye appointment today and need to pick out some new frames. This will be my first appointment since we moved, so about 3 years. For some reason glasses don't make me look smarter just older, maybe I need more frame options or less gray hair.

Knee is still achy, so still healing from the fall. I only had to take pain med the night I fell, so only one day of side effects and that's over. Doing 5 miles on the bike really limbers it up but still it swells at the end of the day. The good new is I don't have pain when I walk and I stopped limping which my wife says make me look 20 years younger. She is nice.

Morning all, nice at 30F and sun is peeking through trees.

Roy - great to hear that Ms. Roy is more up and about. Bet she is happy to be more independent before spring.

Stay safe and be well,

Today we are in the Netherlands. Always love the museums and cafes.
Though you have to be careful in the smoky ones....

Comfy shoes anyone?

Nothing like than having the right tool for the job, Kyle. Even better if you get to use it and don't have to pay to maintain it.

This is the lathe I had to replace a shaft, pulley and most of the bearings in the headstock....so I have some blood equity in it too.

I'm behind on reading. Will catch up later.
