Good morning!!!!

If you got a deep enough pool with sloping bottom you just put on ankle weights (5#-10#) ... put a couple of the floatation noodles under your arms and walk down the slope ... until you're floating. The first time or two, you need to concentrate on not tightening your muscles and you can actually feel your spine relax over just a few minutes.

Rick, possibly my favorite especially when water is warm. Very relaxing. I just use a single noodle wrapped around my back and under arms as I’m a petite 250 lb.

One trick I致e done with marginal fork loads. If I can lift just enough to clear the truck bed then I値l drive out from under and lower load. Often, even if too heavy to lift I can still left enough to clear ground to move.

i thought about trying that, David, and did manage to slide the pallet a foot or so onto the tail gate. I stopped because a) I didn't want to warp the tailgate, and 2) I didn't want to see what it's like to tip the tractor forward onto the forks using the front axle as a pivot point.:laughing:

You'd be very surprised how much difference the ankle weights make David.

I started with 5# per ankle and went to 10# over about a weeks time. I got the idea from a physical therapist friend. I had some lower back issues about three years ago and had a couple of sessions with her. I asked about an inversion device and she suggested the pool.

Ah yes, kinda overlooked the ankle weights... can see where they would be a benefit. Will have to try them.

My source. Wife did more than a year of pool therapy after her accident, starting with having to be put in from wheelchair via the lift to where they were adjusting her stride on treadmill. I was fortunate in therapist taught me the exercises as we went along and I was in the pool with her, assisting. If no conflict, she could get extra time.

Good evening all. 39F for the start, mostly clear, calm wind. Some clouds off and on, light wind, and high temp was 56F. This morning was mainly conservation of energy, this afternoon was bike ride, nap, and town run (party prep).
Eric, last several vehicles could switch between metric and "US" measuring systems. nice sunrise
Ron nice deer pic
Buppies hope you get your mess cleaned up and your body healed.
Check most of the issue is the change over, I used both in college, most engineering problems data would be mixed from both systems, and you were told what system to use for answer. Almost 50 years of using US system and I don't want to change
Safe trip DD. don't pick up any hitch hiker bugs!!
RNG, sorry about losing your urologist, and not recommend anybody :confused2:
Ted front comes through Tuesday afternoon where does the rope go on her?
Jay always enjoy your patient stories when you can share them.
Drew glad to hear that wine and hot tub still help.
prayers for all.

29F headed to 46F slight chance some showers.

I have to pack and ready myself for work. I leave tomorrow and return on Fed 17th. Once I return I can pick up my tractor, it arrived yesterday and is being prepped.

Multiple AFB in the Pacific is the plan. Subject to change of course.

That's a lot of blue water to cover....BTW, welcome aboard.

I would probably go with the cheaper inverter, because I'm cheap.

32°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 42° today.

Finally broke down last night and ordered a piece of equipment for my studio that I've been eyeballing for about a year now. It's the Line 6 Helix LT modeling processor. It's basically a digital preamp and effects unit that will allow me to digitally reproduce the tone of pretty much any guitar or bass amp ever made. Like the early Eddie Van Halen tone? There's already a preset for that. Even semi-obscure and unique sounds like the early Billy Sheehan bass tone (my all-time favorite bass tone) is in there ... and that was the bit that pushed me into it. I have the old electronic preamp from Pearce Electronics that the tone is based on, but it's in bad shape these days. I had a conversation with Billy last year about my old Pearce preamp, and he was urging me to try the Helix, as that's what he's using now, too. So, I'm finally going there. Looks like my home studio will be about 90% digital now. Looking forward to getting it.

My buddy has had his Line 6 guitar and processor for a few years. He loves it. Stevie Ray or banjo sound out of his guitar. Has a good time with it at church.

Here's a nice local country Texas church. Many of you would know the organ's repair/maintenance man.

Good morning, temp is 25°F and going to a high of 30. Wind SSW 8 mph. Flurries.

Tractor block heater fired up and will heat the block until about 9-10 A.M. I will be plowing today and clean everything up.
After the plowing and greasing, I think energy conservation will be in the cards again.

The new glasses are great! Next Tuesday I will be picking up the other pair of glasses and delivering the D.I.L. to the hospital for a bone marrow density scan.


Have a good day all

32 and foggy...rain ended and heading to 50.

Nice looking church, Kyle.

Well, did as planned yesterday...roasted coffee (use the metric system for weights and temps) and worked on taxes...used inches if I wanted to measure the stack of papers .

Wife woke me up at 3:30am after hearing a scream outside near our window...Coco barked, too. She said it sounded like a lady screaming multiple times. Of course it was silent once I got up. I'll look for bodies after it gets light, but no one lives nearby, and we're back too far from the road, so thinking it was wildlife. Maybe a fox, coyote, bobcat or owl. But she was sure spooked.

28 right now...high in the mid-30's today...
Need to make a dump run and pick up a BP meds prescription.
One thing I wrote about a week or so back was my tractor battery is dead...I'll try jumping it today, If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to run down to Lebanon NH and pick up a replacement. We have snow coming in this week and I want to be ready.
This is the first day on my week long vacation. It's not actually a "vacation" since I'm really going to be dog sitting Bella while wifey and stepdaughter go to Texas (San Antonio) for a week. Bella has never had separation anxiety (just goes on the sofa when we leave), but a week is too long to be alone for 10-11 hours a day.

Could also have been a rabbit getting killed by something. They can make the most awful noises as they are dying. Very spooky.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 16ｰ with clear skies this morning. Heading to 35ｰ with chance of snow most of the day. Got grocery shopping done yesterday. Got last document needed for taxes yesterday. May work on taxes today. 4 small deer showed up at feeders yesterday evening. Cardinal stayed around long enough to get some pictures.


RNG, I would have to get the $40 table just to see if it could do anything to help. Then keep a eye out for a good deal on a better one. Can always resell for a few dollars or donate. Lowest I found around here is $75. But looked good in pictures. I saw the electric one for $750 this morning.


Kyle, I have seen that church.

David, I have been following Wroughton Harv ( Harvey's ) thread on another forum where he is building a Barndomininum. For his motorhome and to live in. Some of his comments on self drilling screws got me thinking about your project. He has problems with the screws hardening the metal and cannot drill hole for screw. His metal is heavier than yours.


Good Morning All.

My son had a barn burn down where his daughters raised show rabbits. They all have dreams/nightmares many years later from the rabbit screams.

Morning all! 30 here going to 36 or so. Had a light dusting of snow overnight. Not enough to clean up.
Looks like it will be a decent weekend. Seems like a lot of weather coming for the end of next week. Jay:What are we in for?
I want to clean the pellet stove today and two sisters want me to check out some carpentry work.
Kitchen rebuild and a bathroom install.I'm sure going to be busy after I retire!
Feeling ok. Doctors visit on monday to see if I stay on the new meds. Will ask for a specialist to look at my still sore big toe.
Good to hear people are getting better again. Happy Birthday to all past and upcoming!
Stay safe and healthy!

good morning all.
Lots of rain last night, over an inch, clearing out now but cloudy day with some showers.
Have a helper coming this morning to do some chores I should be doing but not going to chance making back worse.
44 degrees going to 50, then big warmup in two days with four days in 70's. That will make the grass jump out...

opened new bag of coffee and found I had bought beans instead of ground. Fresh ground definitely tastes better than
store ground, seems to have a sweeter flavor.

Good morning, all this talk of hanging upside down like a bat, or near drowning in a pool with weights around ankles, makes tbn sound like some weird fetish site - which I suppose it is ! :laughing:

RNG, you don't need to spend money on that inversion stuff, just tie a couple of those bags of cement to your ankles, wrists to the loader and ask your friendly "body" neighbor to come and pull the joystick ...

PG, that "Line 6 Helix LT" sounds like an intriguing piece of equipment that should keep you entertained. Has your wife asked yet when you will be selling all the other guitars, now you can recreate their sound from just one ?

Wng, if that was around here I would guess fox, this is just the time of year when vixens give out that blood curdling scream to attract a mate.

29F cloudy mid 30's for high,January was nice mild compare to lot January in the past,fingers cross February shall be the same.

Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today...Mrs, said we need to do BIG food shopping etc. afternoon walk about in the woods try locate deer yard I hope from distance so I don't disturb them,take the day as it comes.

Enjoy the day all.

Reloading is definitely not somewhere I'd trust myself doing conversions to metric, either. Even a small mathematical error could yield potentially dangerous results.

It is probably a lot easier for me as, thanks to our restrictive firearms legislation, I'm not encouraged to have many different rifles and zero pistol calibres .

The SAAMI case dimensions only ever need converting once, after that I can stay in mm for every measurement I make myself. I run load sensibility checks using Quickload software which, although dated, is fantastic at modelling what goes on inside the case and barrel when you squeeze the trigger. Fortunately the program originates from Germany, so supports both inches and mm.
