After examining the three 3lb extinguishers, I'm happy to report that none are on the recall list ... :thumbsup:

 

[rswyan]

My uncle and cousin in N canton worked for Timken

Their headquarters is about 5 miles as the crow flies, just on the far side of the CAK.

 

[rswyan]

Akron Standard made force variation machines for tires. Micro-Poise made high speed balancing machines for manufacturing. Tire and automotive companies mostly.

Right.

They are now located in Streetsboro.

Yup ... up on Mondial Parkway. Possible I picked up loads there ... can remember picking up on Mondial a few times and the 555 address seems familiar.

Sodamo, I have the same worries as far as my wife and kids when I leave God's good earth. But alas, just like us, they'll have to learn life's lessons pretty much on their own when faced with them. I teach them as much as I can, but it probably goes in one ear and out the other.



Thanks, Back is much better. The mower is "naked". One of the plastic hood's mounting posts broke off. Weighing whether to replace or not. I say not. I need to work on the K-46 next. It has 500 hours and sounds a bit "grindy" when you first take off.



My brother used that term religiously. I always chuckled at it.

This morning smells like an Italian kitchen.....making fresh tomato sauce, with a lot of basil, onion, garlic, oregano, a wee bit of thyme, salt and pepper. Cooking down now. 2 gallons worth.

A friend at work told me he paid $20 for 5lbs of fresh garden tomatoes....$4/lb Maybe I should take some to work. Since I've fenced the chickens out of the garden, I'm having a grasshopper explosion.

Rick, I didn't block the north breeze, must've been Don. It's balmy here too.

LS, good job on the overhang.

Ron, nice pic.

Drew, glad the Flomax worked for you. I had to give it up.

“Rick, I didn't block the north breeze, must've been Don. It's balmy here too.”

Our breeze shifted back to the North .. shorty after I posted that???

Hope I didn’t make someone .. feel “guilty” ???

Do you recall if there is a specific number for the recall? I heard about this over a year ago and still have not submitted.... keep on putting it off... if it is as easy as your experience, maybe I can get it done...

Here’s the link I posted for RS yesterday Ted.


Kidde Fire Extinguisher Recall

Glad they weren't wild. Well, if they come back, try to catch them and send them to Rick...he hasn't had any pig fun recently.

He can have mine. Lot of rooting damage where I mowed yesterday, will find more today.

 

[sodamo]

RNG, backup generator for the backup generator? Am I a bad influence?

 

[sodamo]

Rswyan, thanks, I have had similar thoughts. Possibly writing something and placing in our Trust binder along with my thoughts how our granddaughter might subdivide our property long after we are gone, something I toy in my mind almost anytime I’m out mowing for hours.

Don, I'd like to try a piece of that pizza. I can't eat store bought, most are super greasy and incredibly salty. With the right blend of tomatoes and garlic, think you could make a healthy pizza taste very good. My almost veggie sister made pizzas like this all the time and we would chuckle at her, now who's laughing...
I used to buy plain spinach topped pizzas and then add my own ingredients.

 

[sodamo]

Ted, that hobby shed sure is taking on own personality. Great job.

I think about such things, with my FIL passing, how MIL will know how to do things. I’ve offered to help, but she is independent and won’t normally accept help.
If I was to pass, so much my wife wouldn’t know to do to keep the place up.

Book says one source says Capt Abraham’s MIL (President Lincoln’s GM’s mom ) was an aunt of Danial Boone. Other sources give another name as his wife, and the author believe the other source.

I make the pizza dough with my sour dough bread starter, make the sauce with tomatoes and Italian seasoning and make the base hummus from chickpeas and spices, top it off with onions, peppers, garlic, pineapple, olives, sliced tomatoes, steamed kale, and then sprinkle nutritional yeast on the top (for cheese flavor).

I could see me trying a modified version of that.

 

[toppop52]

Ron and Kyle, you both said you gave up Flowmax because of problems, do you mind sharing? I’ve been taking it a year or so, still get up once a night.

Postcard type day, blue sky and about 80 with very low humidity. Got the grass mowed, but that .8 of rain from Thursday was gone, just like a dust bowl out there.
Got my driveway, turnouts, buildings, etc... all sprayed with glyphosate, just have to go around the property and spray the vines and weeds along the perimeter.
Buppies, glad your pigs were not roving wild hogs.
Nice pictures again today!

 

[Thomas]

Turns out they escaped from next door 14 acres away did not know they had any. Still do not know if they found them. Rutted up back yard pretty good before we ran them off

That's a shame yo sure don't need extra work,I hope owner pay you visit.

54F sun clouds mix gentle wind,just one of those weather days you not want to end.

Started to redo shed door but just wasn't into it so grab trimmer ran 4 tanks fuel thru it,than rake feed area and squirrels didn't like that one bit oooohhh how they chatter.:laughing:

"Buppies, glad your pigs were not roving wild hogs."

Randy .. domesticated hogs can do as much damage as feral hogs. They all root up the ground .. as Buppies can testify.

Pigs .. gonna be pigs.

fireman neighbor in charge of selling all my small tools and equipment.
He said "you were right, the firemen came out and this stuff was like candy to them". He said he collected several thousand dollars
for the small stuff alone, everything from tools to truck tiedowns to pull chains, Warn portable winch, seems like an endless supply of stuff I collected along the way, and since I can't use it for at least two more years, storage was both too expensive and just not sensible.

My older brother is very complimentary of my 35 year old neighbor, good heart and good effort. These are the folks why I wanted to live in this area, all long time
farm stock and tight knit families. And since I was a fireman like them, we all knew and understand the ethos of first responder and helping others. Now it's my time to be helped and I'm grateful.

And .. the bright side is .. when you get better, you can buy new toys .. specific to your needs at that time.

It's great to have good neighbors.
