Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

just think, Rich will soon be on an electric motorcycle, making no noise, but he can pipe in the sounds in his helmet
of whatever bike he wants. I know car sounds a lot better than motorcycle ones, not having ridden in 50 years.
I bet that racing bike Rich drove was very noisy, and kind of that obnoxious two cycle sound.
I always thought that sound was a true "unpleasant order"...plus the ring, ding ding
but with that noise came power for sure
am thinking RNG's BMW at a certain rpm must make a lovely exhaust sound.
or a 4 cylinder Honda winding out

I think more of a motorcycle as rolling art. Like the cylinder fins on a Triumph Bonneville.
The exhausts and gas tank of a BSA Lightning. Or for sure an opposed BMW twin.
Since you are wearing a helmet, the idea of piping in motor noises isn't so far fetched.

Wait til someone designs a 50 dollar amp module. I want one for my lawn mower.
Can you imagine going up through the gears on your mower? Bill would have one with an 18 speed.
heck, a fine addition to any tractor too.

there are a lot of these noise modifying speakers already being used in cars, made to diminish or cancel noise.
And EVs have had to make some kind of noise to safeguard pedestrians.

we've come a long way from buzzers and beepers

I find the quiet very appealing

yes, I was raised on Heinlein and Bradbury

Count me in for the New Years nap club.

My weather station has not updated in 3 days. 35° at the In-laws.
She had a bunch of oaks cut down around the house, has a huge pile of logs in the yard.
Fortunately not much drama when wife’s sister stopped by Saturday. A little to be in character, but it was manageable.
Head back home today, but wife may return in a couple days due to a funeral.

Good morning all on this third rock from the sun,
It is presently 50F with fog after an overnight low of 44. Forecast high for today is 57 with clear skies.

Felt better yesterday and was able to get the maintenance done on my chain saws. Feeling good today and the downed tree will get cut up.

Other than that, a quiet day just me and the mutt.

Have a safe day everyone.

good morning and the good weather is continuing 45 going to an amazing 58 today. very pleasant

Had a good day with family yesterday. All had a good time. Talked about having a firewood shed building party this spring so I better get the pad prepared and ready for it

The daughter with hip replacement 8 weeks ago is walking great with no cane and seems ready for her next trip later this month to somewhere Europe.

This morning when walking Cody I heard again this loud metal drilling sound from around the pond.
Has happened a few times in the last week and last about 20 or 30 seconds
Wife recalled something similar that turned out to be a very large woodpecker
Sounded like man made sound and looked for people on our property but found none

Good Morning
It’s 43 with a high overcast, a high of 55 and chance of rain this afternoon.

Yesterday went by quickly, picked up a Milwaukee M12 right angle die grinder from HD to retire the pneumatic one. I think that it will work out well.

Dinner worked out well, amazingly, everything was ready at not only the same time, but at the planned time. The roast was excellent, I’m convinced that a reverse sear is the best way to cook beef, especially if nobody likes it well done, as it’s consistent to the core.

Grandson had a ball with Zoe, and did a decent job of wearing her out.

Not sure what’s on tap for today, there is the perennial mess in the shop to tidy up. Searching for the Kimber guide rod made for a good start last week, but there is plenty left to deal with.

Welcome Shetland Sheepdog. Going to need a shorter name for you...

have been looking at small travel trailers. Found one built by Amish in Indiana that I can tow behind Volvo.
need to figure out what adding electronic brake controller to car would cost.

https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2022-Sunset+Park+Rv-Sun-Lite+Classic+18RD-5022409011

4 days to Florida at 75 a day for campsite: 300
tolls 100
gas 1300 miles at 14 mpg $420

times two for roundtrip 1600 vs 3000 for train ticket

I think I may be getting back into rv'ing...as long as I can be comfortable in something small enough to be towed.
Plus it would allow me to go visit folks.

Welcome to TBN and Good Morning.

 

[PJSprog]

50°F and dense fog this morning, going up to 63° today. The warm air is bringing some storms with it later this evening. Then, upper 60s for tomorrow. After that, we drop back to more seasonal temps for us, 30s and 40s.

Wow, lots of catching up to do again. Hope everyone is well.

Good Morning, all.

Morning all, 45 going up to 58 and cloudy.
Tomorrow first day of work in the new year.
Saw the movie Babylon last night at a theatre (empty) and it was not bad, but too many over the top scenes for us.

Drew-I have wild strawberries-Deer, rabbits and everything else eats them. Careful planting strawberries, if they get loose of their enclosure they can propagate quickly and far.
Amazed how much can fit in that small trailer, pretty neat.

I also don't plant onions/garlic, neighbor at my old house did and they rooted the next year all over my property.

Yesterday did some grilling. Tuna steaks for me and the kid for lunch (wife does not like fish) and pork loin for lunches this week. Son announced he is red meat free, we'll see how long that lasts.

Still working this back area. But can actually see through the woods to neighbors lawn.
Hoping to work on moving out all the stumps and tree parts and then gathering rocks so can use the flail to keep it tame, without making it into a lawn.
