Good morning!!!!

[Rich B1]

20 now, supposed to be 51 or so later. Rain tonight. May see 60 this week.

I don稚 have to go to AZ on short notice. Common sense won. Well....obstinacy was a big factor too.

I had decided not to go to Bike Week races in GA and FL so I could stay home and get some stuff done. Woke up to a text that he trashed the engine first night....not good way to start the season.

Not sure what I will get into today for sure, lots to do......

Everyone have a safe and good weekend.

Good Morning!!!! 42F @ 5:00AM. Considerable cloudiness with occasional rain showers. High 51F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

Sorry to hear about the engine, Rich, but that's racing, isn't it? Sounds like your timing was good stayin' home...:thumbsup:

I had the too much wood problem, too, when I first got to this place, Buppies. Put an ad in Craig's List inviting folks to come get what they wanted, and someone wrote back that I shouldn't let people do that because if they got hurt, I'd have to pay their bills since it happened on my property. Fortunately, only one person wanted to come over, and he brought his wife with him. We really hit it off and had a nice friendship for several years until they lost their home in the Camp Fire and moved to Eugene, OR. He'll have more wood than he knows what to do with up there!:laughing:

Speaking of wood, I almost got the last of the big pile bucked and stacked yesterday, but it wasn't easy. What I thought was a new chain was one I'd already sharpened, and for some reason, they don't hold an edge like the new ones. Probably because the electric sharpener takes some of the temper out of the teeth. Anyway, it was doing OK until I hit a fist sized rock that a limb had grown around. Never seen that before.:confused2: Now I guess I'll have to go out and find carbide saw chains! Put a new chain on and the tank went dry half way through the last piece. It was time to quit anyway, sky was darkening and I was wantin' dinner.

Anyone know about 3D printing?

I have a small part to print, and the website that prints asks for two variable to be selected. It will be an exhaust adapter for a new coffee roaster...ABS plastic using FDM process. The website asks for:
- % Infill, from 20% to 100%, and
- Layer Height, from 100 um to 300 um.

Not sure what these mean, exactly.

62 degrees this morning, going for a high of 74. I awoke at 5 a.m. to a loud and bright thunder and lightning show with rain. The NWS says the Denton Airport, 10 miles from here, got 1.16" of rain and had 18 mph wind gusting to 46 mph. And all that happened in not much over an hour. We do have puddles everywhere, but my rain gauge only had about .60" of rain in it. I don't see any sign of wind damage anywhere. And now clear skies already.

Here's a reference that talks about infill:
Selecting the optimal shell and infill parameters for FDM 3D Printing | 3D Hubs

And here's another link from the same site that talks about the impact of layer thickness on accuracy with respect to holes and bridging and such:
How to design parts for FDM 3D Printing | 3D Hubs

Might be a good place to start, especially for someone like me that's heard a lot about 3D printing, but never have had any formal introduction...

The low this is morning is 10°. It started snowing about the time I posted yesterday. It snowed all day and over night and still at it this morning. We didn't get a hole lot 14+ inches it looks like. And the wind wasn't to bad but we did get some drifting. They are calling for mostly cloudy skies and some snow showers today. With a high in the upper 20's and a light wind.

It's still snowing pretty good now. Hopefully it will let up here and I can get out and work on the driveway some time today. They are showing more snow for tomorrow and Monday so I need to get the driveway done if I can.

Hope everyone has a enjoyable weekend.
CWB.

Good morning to all! Low of 26, going up to 55, a bit cooler than previous days. Of course it will be windy again today! Not like the gale force winds yesterday, but still gusts to 45.

I have ALL of the neighbors topsoil on my property, actually I think it covered all of the land from here to the Texas state line! Dust bowl conditions.

Going to see the ex-DIL and her new baby today. She has remained close to us and considers us her "family". She has really gotten her act together and we are really glad for her.

Couple of quick errands while we're out, then just piddle around the house this afternoon.

Everyone have a great day! Prayers sent.

because if they got hurt, I'd have to pay their bills since it happened on my property.
Sadly that's true but your homeowners will cover it fully if it ever happens. And also why I have every hourly cash employee sign
a hold harmless agreement saying I'm not responsible if they get hurt here. The proverbial condition of employment.

Does shivering count for exercise? I started at 5am cutting up potatoes, and then worked outside for the last three hours getting the potato field ready for the 1pm potato planting party today. Less rain last night than predicted, thankfully, ground is pretty damp but still workable. Plus this field is on a nice slant, which is very unusual for this flat area. First I ran the little Massey one more time with the hiller, than ran the pull behind tiller, now all fixed, to level and fluff the very top of the row. Got the taters put out, except for last 50 pound bag to do, but at least I'm sitting in a warm shed for that. Heat wrap for my neck, heater on my legs and hot coffee going in, ahhhhh. Just don't do well with the cold anymore, and yeah it's only 45 here, downright balmy for some of you.
