still in the forties out, waiting an hour til temps hit 50 and then will go out
meanwhile I have a microwaved heat wrap around my neck and that keeps me
nice and toasty.

pumpkin rolling looks like a lot of fun
haven't bought one this year
always feel like I should eat it or plant it when I'm done instead of chucking it back in the woods

did some investigating and going to try out the
Calyx internet system. Interesting arrangement, non profit using T mobile, has a 5G
hot spot where my Verizon Mifi is only 4G. Plus, the achilles heel of my Verizon is that after so much use, it throttles down
to almost nothing for the rest of the month and is useless for sending pics.
Calyx is unlimited, no throttling.

this involves just a hockey puck hot spot.
750 for one year, including hardware, that's all. 500 thereafter.
and no throttling.
will try it out on next trip to Florida.
If it works as advertised, will cancel Verizon and continue with Calyx.
since it's a non profit, half the fee is tax deductible.

About The Calyx Institute - Calyx Institute

calyxinstitute.org

I read over their financials, about $3M in memberships and reasonable admin/salary cost
Their focus is on VPN which I have zero interest in, but as part of their deal, they have packaged
mobile internet coverage that I've read about on youtube rv videos that seems to work better than Verizon.
Not as good as an antenna in clear sky, no surprise

Here is one honeycomb machine. Thanks YouTube.

Here is one honeycomb machine. Thanks YouTube.

This is the type packing I was describing:

(photo grabbed from internet)

this would be great for composting, a simple hand-crank with two geared shafts with stacks of rollers and blades and away we go!

Windy today, a lot of these leaves will be coming down

A little vid of Pumpkin Rolling at Pumkinfest today.

I had a good roll, about 800 feet, but winner was well over 900 feet.

That looks like a lot of fun. I bet there was a good bit of searching for the perfectly round one. Looks a little bit dangerous to be standing on the side of the street down below.

Good Morning
It’s 47 with a high of 52 on tap for today. Partly cloudy and breezy, no rain.

Yesterday started with driving to Doylestown and taking my daughter out to breakfast. She just got home from work as the ER charge nurse at a large hospital in Wynnewood.
After that it was into the shop were I made decent progress, got all th e internal bracing in, they’re ready to round over all the edges and finish sand.

When I came back from lunch, I decided it was dry enough to mow, so I got the tractor out and backed up to the mower, only to find a flat tire. Fortunately, I was able to jack it up and inflate it, it seems to hold air just fine. Go figure. Got everything mowed, leaves are getting some color and departing the trees.

All this car talk made me dig up a picture of me in my first car, unfortunately the exhaust pipes aren’t in the picture.

Not sure what year that was, but guessing early 50’s.

Today will start with a bowl of Special K Red Berries, then a good run for Zoe before heading into the shop.

Nice pictures m7040. What is deck material on the bridge I’ve never seen it before

Pennwalk thanks for sharing cost gives me a way to plan future expenditures

 

[Buppies]

Duds13 very nice photo hope you will come back, great place to be lots of very knowledgeable people

 

[Buppies]

Looked like checkered plate with some sort of coating on it just never seen used on a bridge. The company I worked for for 29 years built bridges buidings and detention equipment. The national air and space museum is one we provided steel for and I helped installed jail in Upper Marlboro Md

Buckeye, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 

[Buppies]

That is sadly true becoming a lost art. We provide detention equipment world wide. I was PM for job in Saudi Arabia

Good Morning Ron

 

[Buppies]

We provided the steel for the North Anna nuclear power plant jail was in Riyadh stainless steel jail bars

Morning all, 50 going up to 56 and partly cloudy.
Today leaf movement and side lawn mowing, and if I am not too tired, dog need a bath

Yesterday's driving lessons went well, son is doing fine, just needs to get used to big truck.

Went to King of Prussia mall since wife needed to return some stuff, and we picked up the new planter for the Key Lime tree which is inside for the Winter.

Scotty - We loved Trier with the old castle gate in the middle of town. We arrived, quite by random, to the Ice Wine festival. Would love to see that area from the river.

Phil - amazing work, people will be fighting to buy.

Happy actual birthday BEF, and many more train rides.

Fatjay- great picture, son's outfit is really nice.

Slept late, lost 4 more pounds.

Be well,

From The Halloween store yesterday, the (expensive) animatronics are getting quite good.

not a successful morning, frustrating actually
rv's hydraulics picked up the front nicely, took off the oem unit, went
to install the new one and bracket installs under the existing sway bar.
Using same bolts that came out, going back in, one would only go half way.
??
I asked to make sure they didn't have bolts switched, no.
tried again. And again. very strange.
I don't have a tap and die set any more so the job stopped at this point.
Have to bring a tap back for the bolt. There was zero damage to the bolt.
we even took everything off and tried the bolt in the hole all by itself. Nope, would not
go back in. BIL's son will come back after work this week with a tap and will install.
supposed to be super easy. Bolt unscrews vertically so nothing fell in the hole...

still windy out, nice day though

How about this?

Have not heard that name in many years. I serviced machines at a tire plant near there. I think it was BF Goodrich.
