Thanks, Paul.

I'm looking for more of a flat dolly like this.

Might end up having to make my own?

I used these casters on my rolling ladder project. I can move the RL across grass or rough ground easily .. and the swiveling pair have locks.

Exactly what I was thinking, Paul. Except my experience with pneumatic tires and tubes from HF is pretty bad. They just won't hold air, and every time I went to move something that used them, I had to remount or air up the tires. Probably shop at McMaster-Carr for something that's less trouble, and worth the extra cost in the long run.


I hate those small pneumatic tires and I have a bunch of stuff with them. I wish I had foam filled tires on everything but they aren't exactly cheap.

Sorry about sad news re your neighbor, Roy. Have a good visit.

 

[sodamo]

Your porch project is looking good, Rip

 

[sodamo]

Sorry to hear about your neighbor, Don. Trying times. Be well.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Ron and Don, sorry about your neighbors.

I’m making plans to go to Ohio tomorrow, funeral is Tuesday morning.

Microsoft strikes again. Computer at church that I use for PowerPoint said it needed rebooted, was an hour before I needed it, so I rebooted. Well, it started an update, that took 2 friggin hours. Couldn’t use PowerPoint for songs, so online viewers had no view of songs and couldn’t project.
Had to go old school and use song books. . I was song leader so I used a book anyways.

Another beautiful day out.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Roy, sorry about your neighbor. Prayers.

BEF, condolences and drive safe.

Don, nice hutch.

Busy as a beaver yesterday.

Worked a bit on Steiner.

Changed oil in car and SUV.....each is a PITA. Car, you have to remove inner fender well....SUV has a mount that is adjacent to the oil filter, so that you have to use a strap wrench to remove... Both vehicles make a mess dripping on the frame or motor mount.... Glad I got them done.

Fixed a pump sprayer. Filled with purple cleaner solution.

Worked on GT80 minibike. My poor son, he's wanting to ride it and I'm having trouble getting the jetting/carb/timing issue figured out. Fouled another spark plug. Next, I'm taking the brand new carb apart to check the float level. I need a fuel filter but there is no room for one unless I make an uncanny loop. It is gravity feed. The petcock has a filter, but ours is a bit dilapidated. Ordering some more parts and sparkplugs.

Church was great today. I did the slides, and my daughter played guitar and bass. She thinks she needs a boyfriend, and I told her to date Jesus right now.

Her friend came over with her horses, they rode around. Me and her friend's dad have struck up quite a good friendship. He helped me tinker with the Steiner for an hour or so.

I hope you all have a good week ahead.

35 right now...high in the mid-70's

Couldn't visit my neighbor's wife...she was feeling to bad for company...hope to this week sometime...
Got three of the markers down before my leg gave up...this really sucks. I'll try again this afternoon. If it takes me all week to get them in the ground, so be it

good morning all.
another nice sunny day on tap, up to 76 today.

yesterday had nice prayer service outdoors at church, very large circle of chairs on lawn behind Meeting, leaves coming down on our heads, geese flying overhead, birds chirping,
marred only by traffic noise but tried to tune that out. Plan is to come indoors next Sunday though it was so nice out yesterday decision was made to stay outside. Everyone was masked and at least ten feet away from each other. I kept peeling off layers as it got warmer and was down comfortably to my jeans and chamois shirt. Very glad I went. Then off to briefly visit with 94 year old MIL and take her a small yellow begonia from nursery near the church.

Lots of deliveries coming today including my generator so I have to stay close to home.
Roy take it slow and pace yourself.
Many of us are operating in a "slower gear" now...

There were a number of rusty metal shelves in garage I want to reuse for woodshop so one project today will be to clean them off.
Might be able to make a quick trip downtown early to Ace Hardware to get some Rustoleum rust fix and spray paint.

Hope you all have a good Monday.

 

[Buppies]

57 high of 73 today rain moves in tomorrow in the form of a shower or two 1 to 3 inches by Friday

Mostly glad you made it back safe

Roy sorry about the leg

Kyle nice you all get along so well good answer for daughter

Think our mild weather in mid Atlantic will last thru December with a cold spell or two thrown in

BEF prayers sent for SIL and family

Prayers for all our Country

Good morning, the temp is 56°F and going up to 64. Wind S 5 mph. 30% chance of showers.

The fly got put on the tractor shed yesterday. That is all that got done.

I'm going to attempt another install of the *** lights today. I don't want to be punching holes in the dash, but I will if I have to.
I also need to figure out the install for the bar type moose light that was on the Jeep. I am thinking on the front bumper right in front of the grille.

Kyle, I guess that is a better solution and answer than chaining her up in the basement until she is 50.

The run to North Bay to a print shop I know of there will have to wait until tomorrow. DIL has a dentist appointment at 1 PM.


Have a safe day all

Coffee is done brewing. 46° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 74° with mostly sunny skies. Another great November day yesterday. Got Trak-Vac out and started picking up leaves. About half done. Big maple in front yard was dropping more leaves in front almost as fast as I was vacuuming them up. Back at it today.
Son has spurs on neck bones that are causing his problems. No plan to get it fixed yet.
Wife of my cousin is in hospital being treated for Covid Saturday afternoon. Cousin visited my uncle Saturday morning. Then my uncle visited my aunt who was in hospital being treated after a fall. Sure hope mask protected my aunt. Prayers for all.
Not sure what kind of bird this is. About size of a robin. Edit: Facebook page says it is a female evening grosbeak.

Drew, tree color is great.

Buckeye, have a safe trip.

Roy, hope leg gets better.

Drew, hope you get generator today.

Kyle, not sure how I would react to a daughter wanting to start looking for a boyfriend. We had 2 sons. I think a few fathers locked their daughters up when they found out my sons were on the loose.

Mostly, good to hear trip went OK.

Don , sorry about your neighbor.

Everyone stay safe and heathy.

Good Morning All.

50 outside this AM. Cannot decide if it wants to be foggy or not. Heading to 70's today.

After I got the vinyl done yesterday, the wife wanted a lesson on the ZTR. OH NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I gave in and let her at it. You could see the fun factor kick in. And, duh, she mentioned it was just like riding a horse. I had never thought about that.

I'll be looking for a new Tractor and new ZTR for me this spring. As the lesson turned into a "guess I will find something else to do..." moment.

It's all good.

So today, I think is an official break day. I think we will head over to a Potomac River park and just enjoy the day.

Hope all have a great day, be safe. Have a good work week.

Sun’s up and 43 here already, looks like we dodged the fog forecast.
Yesterday got up to almost 80, so I decided to get out my antique biplane and put some air in the tires and under the wings. It was a nice day for it and only the second time this year, making me feel guilty about not getting it out more often.

I did get to Harbor Freight and picked up their small tire changing machine. I did a tire change on a caster wheel on my mower with tire irons last week, reminding me how much harder small wheels are than big ones without a machine. Hopefully having it ready will prevent me from ever needing it again.

Not much planned for today, I’ll wait to hear from Drew as to whether he needs help getting his generator moved, but it seems like there is always something that needs to be repaired or chore to be done.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Heavy fog and 45°

Woke up early, had to get up to set the trash out for pickup.

Looks like rain starts Wednesday.

Ron, hope the rest don’t get covid. That’s my fear of stopping at Dad’s after the funeral, never know who might of had it.

Roy, hope leg gets better.

Drew, pretty tree. Hope generator arrives in good shape.

Mostly, glad you had a good trip.

COVID cases been skyrocketing.
