Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

66°F and .11 inches rain.

Makani passed the night totally oblivious to what he might have missed sleeping in the wild and rain, no pillow, no nice bed, no bowl of water or food at the ready. What a life.

So I still have my gate post issue. Will continue to look for a solution but I think getting the appropriate size exhaust pipe connector as an insert might win out as I haven’t found any 2in OD pipe.

Look for tube, whose size always goes by the OD ... Amazon has several offerings ...

RS, looking forward to the final before and after pics in side by side look at saw.

Will see what I can do ...

Good morning! Low was 39°, going up to 76°. Sunny, light winds. A slight 20% chance of a T-storm.

Fritz, your daughter is definitely making things better, and turning heads for sure!

Wng, hope you're able to get out to the trails soon!

Lou, hope you're able to get the foundation issues corrected without too much hassle.

Kilroy, hope you can get the plants transplanted before your trip. ..... $4500 for scaffolding? How many sections?

Today's agenda has a couple trips into the "big city" for an appointment and then a stop at HD. Then back this afternoon for another appointment.
Tree planting may take a back seat for today......

Need to go pour another cup of coffee......
Everyone have a great day!

16 frames, 8 sections, two towers four sections high, expanding boards to span between them over the entryway in line with the roof peak. i needed to get my feet a minimum of 18 feet above grade to be able to comfortable reach to the peak without doing someting like putting a stepladder on the scaffold platform ( or standing on milk crates up there…).

And I can set Up two-high to finally fix the living room ceiling fan light (the finial nut is frozen on the thread, and I cannot remove the globe on a ladder because I cannot apply torqu AND support the fan AND hold on to the ladder for stability. Two out of three ain’t good…

the guy in the big pickup truck in front of me entertained himself by doing burnouts on the wet road, getting nearly sideways in the process. Did it three or four times, so it wasn't by accident, even though he nearly caused another one. Clowns like this make me want to quit driving.

We got them also and they seems to be breeding.

Short work day,after quick lunch was able between showers turn over better of half garden...lot of mud worms this year.

KJC - $4500 for scaffolding, and I’m whining to Sophie about spending $450 to go with what I have.

Found a 21/8” OD x 2” ID exhaust connector on shelf in tractorshed. With slight modification looks to be a perfect fix.

I hate spending the money, but finding people to do work competently is tough. If I am going to DIY I need the proper tools. Mrs has seen my do some “questionable” things on ladders (see sig below) so she was insistent on my getting these. And I also had this Savings Bond in the safe-%deposit box from 1993… so it didn’t hurt so much

@RedNeckGeek - the experts say you can’t go .080” in a 66 Victor. I had acquired this cylinder/piston in a deal a while ago. The liner is the same thickness as a .040” over Gold Star and that is supposed to be the optimal size for power from that motor. So not sure why that thickness liner works on one but not the other. Guess I will find out.

Productive day today, we went shopping this morning. Then installed new rear tires and a deck spindle on one of the Craftsman garden tractors. Gonna need it in prime shape after all this rain, couldn’t hear the birds singing this morning, they were drowned out by the sound of the grass growing!

Everyone stay safe out there

I had the same problem this morning. But I noticed the "LOG IN" was present and then when I clicked on it I got in. I could get on the EV Thread but not the Morning Thread.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I logged out and back in, still not fixing it.

I'm on Apple laptop now, everything is working OK.

Browser or the iphone app? The app isn't working on some threads. I hate using browser.

Todays update will be short. Mowed entire yard, field, hill, along this side of creek.
power company trimmed trees, and cut down a large wild cherry along the creek.

Got tractor tire off the L3940 using my pallet jack, got disc changed, and tire back on. All by myself. Did not get the bad thread cleaned out. Not sure the tap and die I got is right size, cause a good bolt does not thread into the die, and the tap, starting it from the backside of the hole, doesn't seem to go in.
right now missing one lug bolt. No pics cause they are on my phone, and the app isn't working.

I'm on my IPad, no problems, but I'm also not using the app......

Accomplished the main objectives for the day, but too late to plant the trees. Helped (watched) wifey plant the underplantings around the first 3 that were done.

Supposed to have good chances of T-storms in the very early morning, approx. 05:00. May put a damper on planting tomorrow.....

Relaxing now, watching an interesting PBS show on song birds by David Attenborough. Next up is Nova, about whales.
