Hmmm... I can't post a car in the new classifieds section. I can't post in private party either.

Hmmm... I can't sell my car on TBN.

OK...

Good Morning. 0820, sunny, 82F {91 heat index} with 96% humidity. Forecast high of 94F with 40% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, and a low of 74F tonight. I'm done with my morning workout, and need to spend some time in the garden. The peas should have been picked yesterday, but there just wasn't enough daylight to get it done. Since it's Friday, I will be going into work early, so I have to get a move on. I have a full weekend of events scheduled. That means I should be able to get some rest:laughing:

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Trying to get motivated, my ankle has swollen up again, I am going to wear a brace today. I moved a bunch of wood yesterday, then trailered some down to a friend's place, 4 miles away. With my tractor!!! Nice day for a ride. Looks like a nice day here, going into the low 80's, this has been a great year, weather wise here.

Partly cloudy and a cool 73 degrees at noon here ...

Just killed the first cup ... time for the second one.

Worked up in the shed until around 0300 last night ... finished getting the four new electrical outlets installed with conduit run.

Went down to polebarn yesterday and gathered up a loader bucket full of tools, supplies, and tool cases and brought them up to the shed to clean off and put away. Got the mud cleaned off three extension cords.

My steel supplier called yesterday afternoon to say that the 3 x 3 x 3/8 angle had come in and I could drop by and pick it up ... so I did ... and also grabbed 7' of 1" Schedule 80 to use as the cross brace on the SSQA. Schedule 80 might be overkill for this, but I'd rather it be a little heavy than too light.

Got 20' of the angle cut up in 30" sections last night for 8 sawhorse legs ... it is some heavy stuff ... ain't going to be picking these sawhorses up ... lol ...

I ended up deciding to initially build the sawhorses @ 28" high ... Buck said make 'em 32" ... but by going with a 28" height I was able to get 8 legs out of two 10' sticks of angle ... leaving two untouched for other things (like a LPGS ) ... if they need to be higher I have enough 3 x 2 rectangular tube that I could stack it up two high on the cross bars ... that would bring 'em in around 31" or so ...

Today I'll trim the ends of the legs to the correct angles (70 and 20 degrees) and get the 1" pipe for the SSQA cut up to the correct length(s). Also work on sweating the copper tube for air lines. Might even get back to my favorite activity: putting fasteners away in the storage cabinets ... lol ...

And the grease and brushes for the Sawzall and grinder came in the other day from Milwaukee, so there's always that as well ... if I run out of other stuff to do.

At some point I'm going to have to bite the bullet and reinstall my CAD software so I can layout the design and produce some drawings for the grapple. Not looking forward to that ... hopefully it will not involve floppy disks ... lol ..

Aaron....I figured out what happened and why JD never got my PM....When I saw it was not in the sent messages file , then I knew it had never been sent so I guess what I did was click reply on the email notification from TBN telling me I had a PM....I know it says not to reply to that message but click another link for the message and then reply to it....so I had to have clicked reply and that must be why he never got it....

That would explain it.

Aaron, I don't know your age, but you must have had an Erector Set when you were little.
and you still can!
Multimodels - ERECTOR
I would think most young boys would like this. Something other than a mouse to move around.

well, it was a good TBN day. And yes, the TBN'er from Delaware who brought his BIL helped me load all that lumber, and I am still happily walking around. And he was awed by the big four foot snowblower. It was most convenient that half the wood was piled on the snow plow, but they were kind guys and wouldn't leave until they made sure I didn't need any more help.

house showing this afternoon, a miss, and another tomorrow. I will be off tomorrow at that time waiting for the UShip trucker to come in with his 40 foot trailer to pick up the Kubota and four implements. That I'll take some pictures of, if only for insurance. I got my insurance agent to check and they got it confirmed in writing that my contents, and that includes a tractor, en route to a new home or location, are covered for both theft, fire of course, and more importantly, breakage IF the truck is in an accident or rolls over. Otherwise, no breakage coverage. Fine with me. So I saved over a grand by not buying extra insurance. Nothing of mine in the house is worth much other than a few paintings, and I think they pack them pretty well in special boxes.

Well, I am older than some on here, but probbaly younger than most I did have an erector set, but I have something better now.
I picked up a RC robot a few weeks back ($2 at the thrift store) and I have been enjoying playing with that:

It will pickup a pint bottle of water and run it all around the house

oh man, the go fetch me a cold one command can only be next...

I owned an electronics business for five years and sold a ton of rc stuff but not airplanes. It was the highlight of my year to go each January into NYC to the Toy Fair.
Every conceivable gizmo, good or bad, was there. I usually went through a distributor who would take back the broken stuff. But one had to find what was new.
plain and simple. You needed the new stuff in electronics. Adult candy.

btw, I have Robbie. The round robotic vacuum cleaner that on this dog hair model (and I have no animals) the pickup is remarkably good. Just for stuff on top; it obviously doesn't get much dirt out. But the software that programs its travel and how it reacts to bouncing off things, and what it remembers about where it went, kind of fun to watch. Comes with two little transmitters so you can box the little robot in a certain area to concentrate on it. It doesn't seem to like big open areas.
so robots are cool. Surprised we don't have more of them. Heinlein, come back...

Sadamo, I thought island people are aways prepared for a hurricane, I'm missing your afternoon report. Hope you did not get blown away!

 

[sodamo]

Internet back up. Geez, how did we survive before??? Apparently went down about 2AM

Tropical Storm Iselle has passed, not as bad as predicted for us. Downed graded from hurricane when about 50 miles off shore, didn't make landfall until about 0230 near as I can tell, we only got a bit over 6 inches rain here, but I didn't get my Wx station while Internet was done. We have a few tree limbs scattered about, but nothing major. Tried getting on TBN via cell earlier, but didn't have good enough connection, only E service.

Great to be back
