Good morning!!!!

Got caught up in reading two long threads here related to property easements, property lines, etc. Scary stuff how the courts proceeded and didn' even uphold their own decisions. So with that in mind, I may have a problem that could be nothing, or could arise and bite me in the arse. Here goes:

LS, must be arcshields thread, it's a classic. Put your situation in a new thread and watch the opinions flood on...

Now your going to have people looking for "arcshields thread".

It's "Shield Arc", rural-living helpful-neighbor.

Ron our county road is turning into a dry weather road only. I’m bottoming out on the high clearance Subaru and using AWD. The county fixed the problem by adding a sign.
If I still had my Prius I would not get through.

Surprised they did not just pour concrete in there to make it solid.

Quite common around here when the frost starts coming out of the roads in the spring.
Around here if they try and work on it, it's makes a bottomless mud pit, a week or 10 days and then it's workable as it dries out.

Your sign reminds me of some earlier trips to Alaska. "Frost heaves" can play havoc with the Alaska Highway (Alcan) at times, and we'd see much smaller temporary signs than your "SLOW" sign, just off the right edge of the road, with one word "DIP". And when you saw one of those signs, you'd better get on the brakes immediately if you didn't want to blow a tire, bust shock absorbers, etc.:laughing:

But right now, lots of folks in the Dallas/Ft.Worth/Denton area are blowing tires hitting pot holes on paved streets. More than 6" of rain and some cold weather has been hard on our asphalt streets.

I prefer DeOxIt, which has a cleaning agent that will remove oxide and a preservative to prevent it from coming back. It's also conductive. Dielectric grease is an insulator, and in my book has no place anywhere near switches or connections.

Good Morning!!!! 38F @ 6:00AM. Partly cloudy early then becoming cloudy with periods of rain this afternoon. High near 50F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%.

The winds are supposed to pick up and gust to over 40MPH tonight, with another couple inches of rain. This first storm is on the warm side, but tomorrow night they're warning of snow even at low elevations, and lots of it higher up. As much as six feet in spots, three to five feet at elevations over 2000'. Glad I don't have anywhere else I'd rather be.

Hope your mom gets the help she needs, Ed. I remember my mom having similar difficulties, and the doctors would put her on a nebulizer with a medication I can't remember and in a day or two the problem would be taken care of. Seemed to happen most often in the winter, no doubt because of all the colds/flu going around.

If I had to put up with that road, Don, I think I'd be calling someone at the county and emailing them copies of that photo. I'd ask them how they'd like to take their car over it to get home.

Got the wiring harness fed into the headlight shell, only to find that the grommet that protects the wire had split. Seems like a built in fault, so I'll call the supplier today and find out if "they all do that". Fired up the ultrasonic cleaner and filled it with the Chem Dip, and boy does that stuff stink. Did it on the back porch, and it was a good thing there was a good breeze. It did a nice job on the aluminum and brass parts, but not much difference on the pot metal carb bodies. They're clean, just a lot of patina. Got one carb put back together, will assemble the other one today.Might even get them mounted back on the bike. Also got the touring bike washed and dried off, and tucked back safely into the garage. Sure is getting crowded in there.

Dare I say it? Happy Hump Day!:laughing:

50°F and rain this morning, going up to 59° today with more rain later and into tomorrow.

Carpenter showed up yesterday morning and got a good start on the sunroom window and door finish trim. He got two of the three doors, seven of the 11 windows, and the base boards. Wife said he works pretty quick and efficient. Certainly changes the look of the room. Wifey is pleased ... and isn't that what's truly important? He's supposed to come back tomorrow to finish.

Don, I'm surprised that passes as a "county" road. Like RNG, I think I'd be making some noise about that.

It got down to 16* this morning, yesterday was in the upper 30's and almost no wind. Today is going to be partly cloudy and in the 30's. They are saying we might get a good sized storm over the weekend.

I may have to run to town with the neighbor to get her truck back. Not much else planned for today.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

Thanks for the correction. Property line threads bring out lots of comments, get pretty interesting.
