Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Buckeyefarmer, My wife just asked for peanuts while she was cooling her healing arm when I read your post. I'm glad your wife is doing better. Our VFD was thinking about switching from cottonseed oil to peanut oil in their annual fish fry. If they do, I'll be sure to put up peanut allergy warning signs. (say thanks to you wife for keeping us aware)

She always has to ask what kind of oil things are fried in.

thanks for the well wishes. She was canning green beans when she just started breaking out in hives all over her body. my youngest son watched the canning and my oldest took her to the ER after she used the epi pin. i found out on my way home from work.

Eric, sorry about your Honda. What, then, did they propose as a cure? Maybe they'll have to give you a new car if they can't fix your old one?

I left the dealer to talk to Honda and work out if they need a new technique or a new part, then try again next time I am passing that way.


Yesterday afternoon I helped clear out a small part of workshop that once belonged to a man who had lived for cars. His widow told us tales of Peter's past. He was a commercial mechanic who knew all the tricks to get virtually un-roadworthy vehicles through their statutory tests. In fact he was so good at it, the highways inspectors recruited him to go work on their side - a classic Poacher turned gamekeeper. His vacations were a little unusual - Peter and his wife enjoyed their breaks in very different ways, so he would take her and their dog to Wales, then return home so he could spend almost his entire vacation working on his own vehicles.

Outside, leaned against the brick wall and part buried by soil, was the frame of an old press that he acquired many years ago and never quite got around to putting back together. The friend I was with helped him carry it around all those years ago and is now determined that he will get it working again. Most of the structural frame is sound, although I've a feeling the hydraulic ram will be soaking in a drum of diesel for another year before it goes on the scrap heap. Please let me know if anyone has a picture of an assembled press with a ram similar to this one.

Poured first cup of coffee. 62° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 85° with lots of sunshine. Spent the day at hospital with my mother. High blood pressure. They are working on finding out why. Will be back there again today.
Hope others with visit to the hospital are getting better.
Good Morning All.

So Roundup ?probably? causes cancer. This means what, exactly? | Grist

I think this is going to be a hot topic, again...
as someone who comes from a family where the entire last generation died of cancer, I continue to try to distance myself from pesticides and herbicides. Not easy to do.

61 headed to 87. Still low humidity for this time of year.

Buckeye, sorry to hear about your wife's scare.

Ron, hope your mom is okay.

Heading out in a few minutes to clear a few fallen trees from my woods path. I've been waiting for it to dry out some down near the creek and for a cool morning. Lucky to have both today. I got my bush hogging finished yesterday, so took it off to make maneuvering through the woods easier.

Might get some rain sprinkles today & low 70's.

Ron, good luck with your Mom. High blood pressure is nothing to mess with. Hope she is put right soon.

BuckeyeFarmer, hope your wife is resting easy after her peanut scare.

We have resumed car shopping. We have decided on a Subaru Forester. Good reviews at Consumer Reports and friend's experiences. Now comes the joy of dealing with car salesmen.
