Good morning!!!!

Got to 81 yesterday, warmest since last fall, 72 today. As of this morning I've lost 29 lbs.

Congrats on the weight loss! You have inspired me. Got on the scales this morning and was down a couple more pounds, just over 9lbs total now.

My middle daughter flew in from Maryland yesterday for my grand daughter's 3rd birthday party this weekend. Wife and other daughter kept it a secret so had a nice surprise. She is here for long weekend..

55°F and rain this morning, going up to 63° and more rain most of the day. Storm woke me at 01:45 this morning. Very flashy/boomy.

New bedroom furniture arrived this morning. Wife sent me pictures, and they look darker than I remembered from the in-store color samples. Supposed to be a light-to-medium oak, but look more medium-to-dark to me. She seems happy with them, though, so there's that. We got two gentleman's chests and two matching nightstands. They are Amish-made, so I expect the quality will not be an issue.

Hush bro. We gotta keep him thinking he's alone in this world. It's good for his sanity.
:laughing: Oh, man ... you have no idea. Most days I feel like an island.

65°F and .23 inches rain last 24 hours.

New internet arrived yesterday. Just set up on dining table with the internal antenna and performance is way better than my current provider. Impressed. Got the new mast mostly up yesterday. Today will finish mast, run the wiring, and install the two Yagi antenna. Make have to tweak the router settings, but I'm looking forward to being impressed. Unfortunately, they didn't send a sim for the cottage router, waiting on how that will be resolved. CS says I need two service accounts, but that was not my discussion with the salesman who told me I could run both with same account. Hopefully just a communication issue and I get the 2nd sim soon.

Be safe.
Have a great day.

I missed which service you ended up with?? What kind of speeds are you expecting?

The Camaro is lighter and quicker though. She should like it, the 335 h.p. V6 is a bit quicker and smoother, but my son has the 2.0 turbo in his Saturn Sky, great engine.

It ain't the old Iron Duke vs Pinto motor that's for sure!

Very interesting,, and fast for a 4 banger. I noted Ford's 2.3 weighed the same as their v6

Man PJ, I'm starting to wonder what you did wrong for your wifey to be getting all this new stuff....Just kidding. None of my bees wax.

Talk about islands. I order the stock. Saw it. Program. Turn. Mill. Debur. Clean. And QC. And sometimes play the radio at the same time too. :). And most of the time I get to put my .02 in on the design.

She inherited the house and 5 of the 17 acres when her Grandmother died last year. We had planned for several years to make some serious repairs when that happened, and once we got a notion of what needed to be done, we decided a complete remodel was in order. Yeah, she's getting a lot of new stuff, but I got a new tractor last fall, looking to upgrade my old motorcycle (not a new Goldwing ... at $30K ... but a newer one than the '85 I have now), and will be converting one of the basement bedrooms into a new home recording studio when the walkout basement is remodeled in a couple of months. I'm not exactly on the outside looking in. ;)

The only things I ever really do wrong are a) not get dirty dishes into the dishwasher fast enough, and b) not get clean laundry put away fast enough. Other than that, she thinks I'm the cats meow ... and I'm not about to tell her any different. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry to bust your bubble but she's letting you think that she thinks you are the cat's meow.

44 and raining here, a bit of wind. Good day to be inside. Worked on my drywall project again. I am really slow on getting it done, but it is coming along.

PJ, I worked in QA for 30 years. It's kinda like the foreign legion, march or die, professionally.

Drew, if you search on this site, you will find threads on PHD storage, including dollies. I built one, a pic of it is on here somewhere, that I can roll right up to my tractor, and not have to lift anything. The hardest thing in my setup is hooking up the pto shaft. I made it out of wood, and harbor freight casters.
