Good morning!!!!

Had to tighten my tire bolts the other day, just grabbed a couple sockets that looked about the right size, and the first one fit.
I have no idea what size it was.

Kyle, I bought some coconut sugar to try cooking with. Maybe that's another way.

Coconut oil is great, albeit expensive. But you certainly can't use it for a substitute for butter or bacon fat. Does she like coffee or tea? Believe it or not it makes a great sweetener for either, a little goes along way. I make "bullet proof coffee" with it. It involves coffee (good coffee), grass-fed butter, coconut oil, and a blender. Good stuff and it really makes a difference in the morning. Helps with colds oddly enough, too.

Rain again here in North Texas. Seems to have become tropical the last year. Bad time to buy a house on a hill! But then I wouldn't be here with my Kioti.

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 54° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 79° with mostly sunny skies. Should be a good day to visit national parks in the area. Yesterday was a good drive with lots of great rock formation as we passed threw Monument Valley. No pictures but the dash cam took some good video. Need to figure out how to break some of the 7 hours of video out.
Good Morning All.

30.3F and clear @ 08:00 ... high today supposed to be 52F, normal is 59 ...

Was just gonna take a little nap after dinner last night and then head up to the shop ... woke up for the first time around 5 AM ... finally got up around 7 AM.

I did manage to run over to Home Depot yesterday and pick up some steel and nylon spacers for mounting the diverter valve and front aux hydraulic brackets. Sure wish they had had the nylon one in all the right sizes ... nylon = 60 cents each, chrome plated steel = $3.80 for a 2 pak ...

Order @ Discount Hydraulic Hose is still "processing" ... hopefully it will ship today, but I'm gonna give 'em a call later and see what the status is.

Got a call from U.B. about a half an hour ago, wanting to know if I wanted to weld up that underside on the bottom bar on the grapple that I can't get to with the MIG ... absolutely.

Was heading to get coffee this morning and while I was pouring apparently The Squeak jumped Mister Kitty and had him momentarily pinned down on the kitchen floor according to The Woman. Evidently he wasn't expecting it.

Hope everyone has a productive, safe, and enjoyable day.

Good morning! 60˚ cloudy. A thunderstorm cam in last night dumping 2" of rain and a big yellow dog. A good dog but Whipper is now sitting in the grass while big yellow is on the back porch. I kept hearing buzzard wings flapping by the open winow last night after the storm. This morning I realize it was a the dog's tail. Whipper's tail is 4" and makes no noise.

Job for today is to find this good dog's owner, he has no tags.

35 this morning and headed to 68 today. Warming all week.

Birds are all settled in for the next 42 days. Need to clean control rooms. Just never made it that far yesterday. But did get the old IH running. Now just needs an alternator. If it stays running good then I'll have the radiator cleaned. It over heats after about an hour.

So TMA for today is to clean control rooms and walk birds. Wash decruster and antifreeze washer pump. Then off to the dentist for my semi annual ***** eating for the care of my teeth.

Good Morning! 54F @ 5:30AM. Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 68F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.

Have to agree this is one of the most "kinder, gentler" forums I frequent, and what little conflict I've seen is easily scanned over.

Well, I'm now the owner of an '87 Synchro, as the 4WD Vanagons are called. And it looks like by day's end I'll have another Vanagon, this one a parts car that will literally be cannibalized for the build. If some's good, more's better I guess. :laughing: It's about two hours away, and since the promised loaner tow dolly isn't available, I'll have to deal with the U-Haul folks and fork out a hundred bux. But for another twenty I can get a trailer, maybe money well spent since the plates are expired on the donor and the fine is substantial if I get caught using the tow dolly. But what would be the fun in that?

Also picked up the gear oil I'll need to get the flail mower going, but that'll have to wait for another day.

Happy hump day gang!

Funny the only good explanation of what happened was from Drew, and thank you Drew for that, I think I over reacted, sorry but then the rest here circled the wagons and made it clear to me this tread is a click. Shame on you. New guys best of luck. Maybe you will be okay after a full body probe. Was hoping for something more here. Enjoy yourselves. Just don't reply to anything a new guy post and you will keep the walls in place.

It can seem that way, even to me, and I've been around this particular forum for about 5 years. But truth is, we do some ball busting, post whoring, and general bullshitting here. Don't take offense and don't get bent out of shape by the answers, or lack thereof. I often post to no response, but hey, it probably seemed more important to me than the others, such is life. Too short and complicated to get upset, don't worry, be happy!
