Kyle you got a lot done this weekend. I just fixed the self propelled on my walk behind snapper by replacing the drive ring and belt. Now it pulls me like a large dog.
I just noticed a new house on 309 has a white metal roof. It looks pretty like it has just snowed. What part will the insurance pick-up?

Don, old snappers are the best for simplicity. A drive wheel is a cheap way to repair a transmission. Probably less than $15

While I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, they depreciated my old roof 60%...So it might help about 20-30% of the new roof.

Good morning! 67˚ cloudy.
My first instant pot finally bit the dust. A E6 (or was it 6C) was flashing which means the pressure sensor went bad. I ordered a new one. We cannot live with just one Instant Pot. While waiting for the Instant Pot to arrive I e-mailed Instant Pot about a part replacement. They sent back a email about a detail diagnostic procedure to go through and take pictures of the results. I did it and they send back instructions on how to cut the label on the back in half and send them the picture. I did and they sent me a new Instant Pot! Now I have 3. Guess what Mom's getting for her birthday. Instant Pot has great support on it's product.

Don, a bit of handiness would guess that you could take it apart and get a new pressure sensor. Possibly the connection just came loose or corroded.

Wow Kyle, I'm tired just reading that! I got my decks back in shape for the season. Yesterday we celebrated our daughter's birthday which is tomorrow, my baby girl will be 37, wow!

70's back today, gotta see if I can find some arbors for my mower deck.

Happy B'day to baby girl 37 years young.

Mower tune up time everybody!!!

Looking at lenny's slide project, I can say he was the busiest this past weekend.

Today at work was slow. I ordered a nused Dell computer and a 24" Ultrasharp monitor, and I was also a 3D plastic printer mechanic. Tomorrow I work on the 3D printer some more and I get to do a little Tig welding on 316 Stainless. 95% prep and 5% fun.

Here's ours done two years ago. They are quartz which were the same price. I built the cabinets and the kitchen from the walls out but wife hired someone to set the countertops while I was out of town working.

Kinda proud of this kitchen. From subfloor to Sheetrock and all electrical. Including the Edison looking lights. I did it. Wife did the brick looking tiles which were handmade recycled glass.

Good evening all. 52F this morning and cloudy and calm, .2 in in the rain gauge, and no hail last night. More weather in the forecast for Tuesday/Wednesday time frame. Clouds broke up about 12 noon, wind stayed down today and new tire gauge told me I was inflating tires wrong . Got a new GPS and set it up, tried it out on today's bike ride and it worked well :dance1:

WOW!!
From the angle of the pic it looks like there is a 4' vertical drop in the middle of that slide. I'd say my bones would be too brittle to come out of the bottom without serious injury. We might need a pic from a different angle - maybe from the inside of the slide at the top looking down - you are scaring me.

Woke up to take a pee...too late to go back to bed...
34 right now...(better then yesterday with the sleet, freezing rain!! Crappy drive to work!). Upper 40's and probably some rain today.

Eric, what tool is this, a shovel, a hoe, or something in-between?

I use a weed popper.

Ed reckoned the secret was to slice off thistles an inch or two below the surface. The tool you showed looks good for lawns. The thistles I am after are mostly in sloping grass banks and there are quite a lot, so I need something that works fast. I tried a sharp hoe like Ed suggested, but found it wasn't really heavy enough to penetrate the pasture, so I cut down a broken drain spade. All it takes with that is a single jab with just with the force of my right arm, guided by my left. When I get a good rhythm going I can get each one in less than a couple of seconds.

Good morning, a sopping wet mist is rolling around outside, wish the sun could break through and chase it away.

Last year I made up 6 raised beds for my wife and late yesterday afternoon I started on the final one. You know the saying "more haste, less speed", well that's certainly true if you upset a 1/2" auger bit and it retaliates by breaking off inside an oak sleeper.



Lenny, that looks great fun ! With all those steps to climb to do it again and again and again, your grand daughter should be ready for some quality sleep on her next visit.
