Good Morning! 45F @ 6:00AM. Sunny. High around 60F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Kyle, take a good look at those garage door rollers while you're lubricating them. The door here had several with failed bearings, and one had actually fallen out! Time for me to take another look: They're making noise again here, too.
I think the difference here, Drew, is that I didn't haul all the brush to one burn pile. And after each burn, I used the bucket and box blade to spread the ashes out over the ground and grade out any low spots. That wouldn't be as easy with a trail like the one to your pond. And you've got a new toy under the tractor shed, thus ensuring you retain your king of the attachments spot!:laughing:
I know how you feel about other people working on your house, Lenny. Did the replacement window thing at the last house, with the first five installed by a Home Depot crew of immigrant laborers. I remember watching them work while reading the installation instructions, a copy of which was stapled to each window. They weren't putting any insulation around the window, no sealer either, and no shims under the screws. When I called this to the foreman's attention, he replied that it would take them all day to do those "extra" things. I told him I didn't care how long it took if it meant keeping the installation in compliance with the warranty terms... I did the rest of the windows myself.
I need to start digging through old estate paperwork to see if I can find a cost basis for Mom's house that was sold last year. Probably gonna end up calling the county back in Ohio where it was located, but at this point I'm not even sure what to ask for as the property was transferred in a trust and a value may not have been declared.
In the mean time I did a trial fit up of the LED driving lights for the van and have a plan worked out for mounting them. I'll need to fab up a little headlight bucket for each one, but it'll be pretty simple and it'll give me a chance to dust off the old Harbor Freight 3-in-1 brake. The weather's supposed to warm up the next few days so with a little luck I'll get them painted before the end of the week. Around here at least, March snuck in like one of Eric's lambs.:cloud9:
Got to thinking about my misadventures with the buried antenna wire a few weeks ago when I saw that inexpensive endoscope type cameras are now available with WiFi interfaces so you can see the images on a smart phone, tablet, or laptop. Found
this one on Amazon, so we'll see how it does in a few weeks after it makes the long trip from China. Figured at seventy bux it was worth a try, and with Amazon's guarantee policy in place a refund shouldn't be any big deal. Seem to be doing a lot of that lately, three bum transactions in the last month, but a couple clicks produced pre-paid shipping labels and all I had to do was drop the boxes off at UPS for the return trip.
Happy Hump Day gang!
