Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

a fine morning, and an overachieving little cucumber showed up along with 9 nice Texas Sweets

See my post in today's seat time.

My Lathe and mill. I also have a 14" rotary mill table that is under carpet lower right of picture. Power is a 1/2 hp 3 phase started by capacitors. Would like to have a power source like RNG. Sure would make mill and drill press run much better.

I picked up a rotary table for the mill as well, smaller than yours, and mounted an eight inch three jaw chuck to it. Very easy to set up, and great for milling flats on shafts or turning rounds on odd shapes, or ???

Is that a Wellsaw bandsaw I see over in back of the mill? I have one that has the same red cover over the belt drive, and it's been a great saw for years!

The cutoff saw is a Milwaukee Pneumatic. Made in Taiwan. Got it out of a catalog. I think from Northern Hydraulic before they became Northern Tool. To the right of saw with shop apron hanging on it is a WWII Grob Brothers 14” metal band saw. Had to make a new top bearing/wheel mount for it on Bridgeport. They have no info for it. Many parts are similar to a Delta. Makes me wonder who copied who. They are still in business.

Good morning to all! Woke up to a cloudy sky, looked like it was going to pour. Of course, it didn't and just went on by. Then heavy overcast. Temp was nice at 52, going up to 76, forecasted to be around noon, then cooler temps in the afternoon. Weather guessers say rain showers/storms late in the afternoon. I'll take it.

Got all the fencing project done (cutting it lower), next weekend maybe put the cut sections up on the other property line if the weather permits...extended forecast shows temps in the upper 90's next week. Today is making dog food day. Not hard, just time consuming. They sure eat well... Then maybe some shop time. I have to cut a small section / notch out of a backhoe thumb that is interfering with a bracket. It's 1/2" thick steel, but hopefully some of the soft China stuff....

Drew, awesome 'tater harvest. Can't believe you got that many out of just 3 rows! That will help feed a lot of people!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

To everyone on BP meds: maybe ask your Doc's to "split the dosage" and take it two times a day. Had dizziness and fatigue taking mine just once a day. Split it in half, take it at 7 and 7. Works better for me that way. Everyone is different and so are meds, so ask just to be sure if it will work for you.

Well, it's been 3 1/2 months dealing with the knee... Staying at home... It will be very strange returning to light duty at work tomorrow....

Thomas, glad your able to get by with the well situation, hopefully repaired soon!

RNG, the wildlife must really like how you keep your place....5* rating B&B

The wildfire near my son's place seemed to calm a little, they got a reprieve with cooler temps, higher humidity, and low wind. They hope to start getting containment today. The fire in NM blew up to 27000 acres as of last night...still no word on control of that one.

Everyone have a great Sunday, prayers out to those in need.

I remember as a kid having a water line leak between the well and the house. Dad just handed us shovels and said have it dug up when i get home from work.

Our Dads must have been related

Main task of the day is to finish up assembling that grill I wrote about yesterday...

Well, after a couple hours assembly, I found the tabs that hold the grill to the base were either bent wrong (before welding) or the holes in the grill upper assembly were mislocated. No way to continue assembly and it's going back to Amazon for a refund.
Now, I have to disassemble everything and re-box it. Most of the packaging material (lightweight Styrofoam) was damaged during removal...so the parts will just be packaged as best I can.

Roy, maybe a call to the company can save you some work?
