Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Oh boy! New toys. Funny, we got a new laser at work last week. IIRC it is 60 watts.

Good to hear Randy and BEF are getting better day by day.

J, glad you're having fun on vacation.

Farmer, hope they can help your son. Prayers.

Prayers �� for Ron and Betty.

Need to get some sleep tonight....

Good evening all. 78F for the start, clear sky light wind. Moderate wind in the morning, less wind in the afternoon, afternoon buildups, and high temp of 101F HI108. Men's mtg in the morning, then bike ride, too warm for wood pile work. Nap after lunch and failed to get any consulting done ( have some to do).
Roy hope audit goes well.
Farmer hope trip to city went well and your youngest is on the path to get better.
Eric nice pic, hope your tuck-pointing goes well
RNG good news on the van and the bike, you might just get to do some camping in it yet :thumbsup:
Buckeye nice to hear they will extend your disability. Good update on FIL, now on to the escape!!
Jay nice to heat you got some kayak time.
Welcome back DABSGT but I guess the high grass already did that.
Don cool laser pics, picked out a project to use it yet. Is it hard just etch the wood instead of burning through?
prayers for all

Just noticed today, using the Tapatalk app to access TBN, that advertising is now inserted every 5 posts but .... for $0.99 a month ... they will disappear. How convenient?

I like Tapatalk, because it works well with iPad but ......

The speed and intensity of the laser is adjustable in the program and there is a sample board that lets you see the results. I'll get a pic of it tomorrow and post it. besides wood it etches glass, cuts paper, and puts decorations on pies.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

One laser pie coming up.....

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning all. Windy this morning with plenty of sunshine breaking through. The pro weather watchers all agree it will stay dry all day unless it rains ? :confused2:


BEF, it's breakout eve ! No more rule breaking, you have to be on your best behaviour today for plan C to work tomorrow.


JB, kayaking around eaglet-less islands still sounds great fun. I'm not sure what "Adirondack" is, too many different references on the internet to guess, such as The word 'Adirondack' originated as a derogatory term given to the Algonquin tribe by neighboring Mohawk, meaning "barkeaters." Is it the dam making beavers that are doing all the bark eating, or has Don sent you on a special plant based holiday - for a treat ( tree-eat ?)

good morning all. That laser looks like a cool way to make signs. I guess pantographs are now history with lasers
and CNC tools.

another hot sticky day, 75 going up to mid 90's with showers again this afternoon.
Need to run to supermarket where I have had to ask several times, where have you put the veggie burgers now?
Food Lion seems confused as to how to market them and where to place in store.
No sign of this new plant based beef burger.

I have two crummy jobs to do, scraping paint on the garden shed or continuing to spot seal the driveway where it has cracks.
Yesterday rain didn't come until after noon, so paint had four hours to dry in sun. Hope that was enough, will see when I go out.
More an issue is underlying wood bone dry, lot of bare wood sucking up moisture.

made plans for going to Raleigh RV show, figured out which dealers were bringing MB Sprinter based rv's, located them on the floor map, so now I just have
a two hour drive each way tomorrow, not too bad. Show is at NC State fairgrounds, where I'd like to go when the next farm show comes. Just because I never have...

Hope everyone continues to be on the mend this morning.
Prayers for Ron, just about the toughest thing any of us can go through.

every day is precious, every day is an opportunity for kindness

Adirondack is a region in new york state.

It's also a type of chair, and a type of shelter that is open on one side. He could be in all 3 simultaneously, but i suspect only the first.

552 and been awake awhile. My schedule is messed up today, they shuffled my sessions. Maybe they got wind of the escape plans? Will have to play it cool today.

 

[Buppies]

71 high of 90 today storms south of here yesterday last day of 90s for a while 70s this weekend

Prayers for Ron and Betty BEF and Toppop and all others silent or spoken

 

[Thomas]

63F clear sky mid 80's for high.

If ground not to wet I'll try again getting cut up wood out after work.
E Muffin feed little critters slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! Temp range today 78˚ to 98˚ clear skies. It's been about a month now without rain and you can sure tell which areas have no irrigation sprinklers.

Drew for each 2 crummy maintenance jobs you have to throw in a tractor job.

Jay, sounds like a nice place to kayak, any pics?

Morning gardens and tractor, afternoon study for laser class and the last laser class this evening. After we graduate we get a "lightning bolt" on our wood shop name tag that shows we are trained to use the laser on our own!

There are rumors that NORAD is tracking the green firetruck as it heads across the country, be prepared for anything tomorrow BEF. Copy on the message you are able to walk 60 feet - that will help with logistics.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Well, 60 ft if someone is trailing with a wheelchair to catch me.

Wrong breakfast again, gonna be another one of those days. Last night a lady was gonna check if they had my order for today, if not she would get it. Obviously she never checked.

NORAD huh.. Just drive that green truck east on I70 until it ends, then go a mile north.

Darn vampires came and got blood again. They didnt ,,listen when i said i was leaving...

They did listen, they are try to make you weak. Don't worry the green fire truck will make a pit stop at Walmart and pick up a few pints.

Maybe, but are they going to use a fire hose to put it in?

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 66° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 74° with partly cloudy skies. Got lawn cut. Need to run trimmer today. Then put some weed killer down. Garden pond pump died last Friday. Got new one. Hope I have enough time to install it today.
With all the posting I see Buckeye doing. Asked wife if she would like to keep tract of visits and use texting to the different caregivers. She has taken this part of her care with a big smile. ALS does not seem to affect the mind. Just motor skills. When hands and mind work. Lots can be done.

Buckeye, going to be a long day. Waiting for your escape tomorrow. We are all going to be waiting for you and your continued recovery. Prayers sent.

DABSGT, lawn cutting is always on the list when returning home. The reward is SEAT TIME.

Drew, problem with buying a RV at a show. Is most of the time. The RV on display are leftovers that did not sell during peak sales. When looking at RV's. If price is not 30% or more off it is not a deal. Then on top of that what was the original correct manufactures price. Almost like buying a boat.

Don. neat wood shop tool.

RNG, glad bike and van are get to the point where they can be used.

Randy, hope your recovery is continuing. Prayers.

Jay, glad you are enjoying your vacation.

Good Morning All.

Copy that. uhh, just leave your IV line attached, if you don't have one attached just ask for "one for the road".

I can donate a pint of O positive. That would make you officially part Texan.

Headed out to my aunt's funeral about 2 hours drive south.

Have a blessed day all.

No iv since i was on the juicy juice at the hospital.

Ron, when you lay around with nothing to do, i keep checking tbn for updates. Also, when i have pain, writing on here takes my mind off of it. Hope im not complaining too much. One day at a time. Wish my walking was better before leaving here, but i want to get home. I hope home therapy will be good.

Prayers for you and Betty!!!!!

While our pains are different. I catch myself checking way to often. I sure appreciate the support TBN provides.
