Good Morning
34° which is the high for today, it start a slow decline into the low 20’s by tomorrow morning, with snow starting around noon. If the talking heads are not just bread and milk salesmen, we could get as much as 8”. Won’t know the truth until tomorrow.
Yesterday I did get a carryall load of firewood, read the historical codes on Drew’s new car, and then cleared them to be sure none returned.
I was working on a tool to locate the holes for the pin in the plates that I made for the excavator winch mount when Drew arrived.
Basically, it just centers a punch in the hole for the pin. I’ll clamp the plate in place, then slide the tool through the bushings for the pin, put the pin in behind it and smack the pin with a large hammer. That should give me a center punch mark in the exact center of the hole. Then I can use the mag drill to make the 40mm hole.
Had a nice dinner with son and DIL, interesting being a guest in the house that I built. I liked the walk home though..
Today I’ve got to move hay and straw from the shed before the snow starts, and hopefully test out my tool on the excavator, so I can work on the mount while I wait for the snow to stop so I can plow. Not much else planned other than putting my feet up in front of a fire.
