Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Would you rather go blind over a 'style' of a frame? Your eyes are way too important to mess with.

Are you related to my wife?? Lol

Rick, I know exactly what this Thursday is,,,,,

It is AMA FLAT TRACK DAYTONA TT opening day!

American Flat Track American Flat Track

(Rich knows about this.)


Ron, that's a pricey clock and you don't have to be a mathematician to realize it.


Wifey cooked asparagus and spaghetti. Yum Yum.


Drew, they've opened up a big can of worms. Having someone else go take your SAT's??? Holy Bat Guano!

RNG, hope you figure something out. Counterbore for a seal possibly? If the shaft is hard, it might be difficult to put an oring groove in it. Not sure if you have the real estate for the counterbore....Maybe go sit by that beautiful waterfall with a nice drink and ponder it.....decompression.

I just read the indictment listing the charges against the rich parents who bought access to top name colleges through bribes, often without
their kids even knowing it was going on.
The end does not justify the means and these parents are now facing serious federal charges, huge fines and imprisonment for this fraud.
25 million bucks paid in bribes between 2011 and 2018.
I'd like to see these crooks explain to their kids why they thought dishonesty was the best policy.
Shameful.

The kids are too busy driving their Beemers and texting.....they don't care.

The Beemer kids only wish that they were driving Porsches like their more entitled peers.

It saddens me how so many "entitled" parents pass on directly and/or indirectly their entitlements to their offspring deserving or not. Social/societal values do not apply; all that matters to these ilk is the show and blow, power and control, and scamming anyone and everyone to make another $.

Good evening all. 54F to start, overcast, trace precip in rain gauge, light wind. Moderate wind today, overcast stayed, when wind stopped got foggy and some light rain through the day, high temp of 60F. Bike ride this morning, crank came lose and drizzle shortened ride to 15 mile. Wife hired guy to remove wall from front porch, turns out builder used portland cement and not mortar, the job has been very ugly. Dentist and grocery shopping this afternoon, and a real nap today :thumbsup:
Lynn, condolences for your cousin's son, colon cancer is bad, wife had it 2010.
I hear about the college entrance bribing, just can't wrap my head around it.
USPS have their issues here too. Most folks will redeliver to correct the problem.
prayers for all.

There is probably room on the outside of the case for a lip seal, but there's so much fundamentally wrong with the design that I don't want it anywhere near the transaxle. I have a meeting with the ex-mechanic on Thursday where I hope to trade this thing for a stock output housing. Then I can use it as a core to purchase a decoupler whth more robust parts inside. I also hope to come away with the rest of the parts that are still over there, and "officially" put an end to any future plans or arrangements with him.

I can do contemplation, but if I had a drink at the bottom of that canyon, I'd never make it back out of there. What a way to go, though!:laughing:

No sympathy for any of those involved in this activity!

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning. March is still roaring, it keeps gusting over 50 and we are told that will continue all week. Must be my fault for saying I was about to put up more guttering.

Thanks to everyone putting up snow pics, some weather can be both trouble and beautiful at the same time. Not much beauty in our weather at the moment, tomorrow I need to wear eye protection while putting out feed as this morning it felt like my eyeballs were being shot blasted by the dust from the hay.


I missed out on TBN yesterday taking my wife to hospitals. The verdict was that she is making a good recovery, although the physiological trauma of my cooking may take longer to overcome

 

[Buppies]

Glad your wife is doing better Eric

30 high of 62 today rain chances return tomorrow afternoon

Prayers for all in need

 

[Rich B1]

32 now and clear. Not that many days ago, was happy to see 32 for a high. Today is supposed to be near 57, tomorrow even warmer. Looks like rain tomorrow, then a bit cooler.

I have been refining my saw tool kits. I have it to the point if i don稚 have it, then the repair isn稚 going to happen in the woods. The multi-tool makes all the difference. It is called Top Saw Multi-Tool, about $25 on Amazon.

Yea Kyle, I know what Thursday is for sure. I am guessing productivity is gonna be terrible tomorrow once FansChoice broadcasts live.

The support races are over, very good rider count at each event. Sure has been a quick turn around from a few years ago....

Everyone have a safe and good day

 

[wngsprd]

28 going to 62 and sunny.

Lynn, sorry about your cousin's son. So young.

CWB, beautiful snow pics.

Wife gets all her glasses at Costco, for years...very pleased.

OFFICIAL NOTICE
365 days until National Nap Day (Leap year in 2020)

 

[toppop52]

Good morning, gotta take my grandson to school, visit mom, go to the store and pick up the grandson.
Down to 23 now, 50s later.
I’ll check in later to see what everybody is up to.

 

[Looking4new]

26 and going to a high of 36°F. Wind S 14 mph. Rain or snow in forecast.

I gotta go out and pay for the tow job. $80.oo

I am currently shopping online for a small square bale elevator about 25' long. I don't want a pipe elevator, a trough type will work better.

Roy, I am of the same opinion as you regarding the college scammers. Too bad, so sad. NOT!

Eric, I am happy to hear that your wife hasn't dropped dead from your cooking, yet. You do know that mushy peas are real easy to cook and two boxes of Batchelors will work for two/three meals as long as you like them cold, too.:laughing::licking:

Have a good day all

 

[ronjhall]

Poured first cup of coffee. 34° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 48° with rain in morning. Need to do something about this cold/cough. Wife say she is starting to get same thing. Will make a Dr. appointment for both of us today. After her other appointment. Warm weather and rain should get rid of most of the ground snow. Not sure how long it will take for piles to melt. Conserve energy of rest of the day.

My Aunt had to be moved to another Hospitalinatead of rehab. Got there yesterday morning at 2am. 6 doctors are working on her care. Found she has a UTI and 1 other infection that they have not found the source of as of yesterday afternoon. I am sure they will find what the problems are. They believe that these infection are what is causing what appear to be TIA's. It's one of the biggest hospital in Detroit.

Lynn, sorry for loss. Prayers for your Cousins family.

Looking, good job getting tractor stuck.

Drew and Roy, I have a feeling that this goes on a lot deeper than those that got caught. We are just seeing the tip of this type of activity.

Eric, glad you wife is getting better. Maybe taking her out to a good properly cooked meal will help even more.

Kyle, If you scroll down on the clock page. You will find one for about 13% of the listed one. BTW it was $18 when I posted. Must have run out of stock.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

Yesterday just stayed cloudy with a mist all day. Put about .08" of moisture in my gauge. This morning, 56 degrees, rain, a bit of thunder, winds up to 46 mph, and going for a high temperature of 73.

I started the AARP online Defensive Driving Course yesterday, so I reckon I'll finish it today. We supposedly get some small premium deduction on our auto insurance if you take a Defensive riving Course every 3 years. And while there may not be MUCH new, there's always SOME new information each time, so no matter how good a driver you are, I figure it's worthwhile.

9:30 a.m. it appeared that the rain was over so I went out and dumped about 1.17" out of the gauge. The TV news this morning showed some places got wind up to 80 mph and looks like considerable damage at the Grand Prairie airport. But I don't see any signs of damage around here.

34 going up to 63 today in mostly sunshine.
Ron, hope you and your wife feel better and get some relief today.
Roy, hope your wife continues to improve.

A basically do nothing day. Taking leftover seed potatoes down to food pantry where they have other volunteer farmers that
can use them for planting. Then off to lunch with a friend. So a clean clothes day.

Yesterday I planted a lot of flowers outside, wonder if last night's frost (truck was all covered in white this morning) has done them in.
Time will tell. Otherwise crocus, daffodils and forsythia are blooming away.

seems I wasn't careful enough with 34-0-0 fertilizer on the collards. 90 percent of them have now shot up and growing like mad. The rest weren't happy with a hot dose of strong nitrogen on them, between the deer and this probably will lose about ten percent. That leaves plenty growing.
Tomorrow going to apply very lightly to top of potato rows, remembering that more is not merrier. Will side dress one more time after the plants are out of the ground and will be super careful not to leave any fertilizer pellets sitting on plant leaves. Also ordered a gallon of organic fish and kelp emulsion, trying to use that instead of more granular fertilizer. I'm told it smells pretty bad but in the middle of a field, so what. At least it won't burn the plant and helps enrich the soil.

 

[cat fever]

Good morning all,

30 degrees this morning and windy. A storm is just south of us. I think all we'll get here is the wind but no snow.

Thanks all for your concern about my cousins family.

 

[check]

Spring has definitely started here in town. Daytime temperatures will be above freezing all the way through to March 27. And rain and above freezing temperatures will also really start to melt the snow up north!

 

[Thomas]
