Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

David/MFW, already had the carpal tunnel operation 8 years back. Felt much better for two years, then started to return. Steakhouse is new, only reason to go, check it out. I read the online menu carefully and it was easy to see they were pumping out frozen food with unskilled help, but there are apparently seven of these chain restaurants in NC so someone is buying the steaks for sure. Restaurant is also one of very few with outdoor seating facing the River. Which is NOT the place to be today. 90 degrees and flies/bees in my food are not a good combo for me. I'm sure we'll have a nice steak which I don't eat much of anymore.

Drew,

I hope it is better than expected. My wife is a chef and she sells food to restaurants for Performance Food group so I'm learning more about the restaurant business than I ever knew... LOL... Eating good too!

I understand they CAN do a 2nd release in cases like yours and there is a similar problem in the elbow nerve passage as well. I hope an pray there is a way to ease you pain sir.

Be well,
David

Good morning! 76˚ before sunrise 101 before the heat index is added for this afternoon. Dreaming of Vermont and Roy's 60˚ weather.

I am really having good luck with meeting people on the internet. Fist the people here on TBN and last night the people in the potluck pant based group. Lots of good eats and they really liked my tamales. The only problem was that they are a hour and a half drive away.

Time to mow before 10 so I don't get dehydrated to a crisp.

sitting here with my right temple throbbing, geez doc do you think you used enough? the other side of my head is cold now... Inch round
unhappiness on head, not the first, not the last. Burns...must be a lot of nerve endings there.
Otherwise I was fine. All good.
The joys of being fair skinned.

now to go out and get mowing done before it rains later.
Then have to call my Gravely specialist in WVA and find out the best way to buy Gravely red in bulk.
I really should get an air spray system, though the thought of spending 3/4 of my time cleaning up the equipment when done is not appealing.
And how do I get rid of the mess other than sending it to a landfill? At least with rattle cans they go to recycling.

But eleven dollars a piece for what amounts to fairly thin paint is equally unappealing. Takes two to three coats to get it even. Use up a lot of cans that way on a big mower deck and
all the other red parts. Am hoping to get a cross to another paint. Have read dozens of Gravely posts about paint numbers, like Kubota there is an orange tone to it, but much less than Kubota. Closer to IH Red with a dash of orange. Actually very close to Massey Red, which I think is getting close to a Ferrari red.
What I am restoring is pretty rare so I'd like to get the right paint on it. The folks in WVA or even Ariens customer service will know. Ariens greatly values the Gravely name, even if they don't build any of the same equipment on which Gravely made its reputation. They still market good quality zero turns though who makes what for conglomerates now is a question.

69°F and clear skies this morning, going up to only 90° today. Relatively arctic compared to last week (not to detract from the snow in NZ, though). Back up to 100° on Wednesday, but just for one day according to the iThingie.

Severe storms rolled through our area early Sunday morning. We sustained no damage, but there were some 55K without power in the STL area yesterday. On the bright side, the front swept away the severe heat.

Wife and I started looking hard at alternative cell phone plans over the weekend. We'd gotten several recommendations from friends and family, but research showed poor coverage with most of them either in our area or in the areas she frequents for her business. Looked at Sprint yesterday, and they seem to be the most promising. Tired of getting raped every month by Verizon.

Have a productive week, gentlemen.

Drew, I hope you feel better as the day goes on. A while back one of our Easy Pass modules didn't work on the express lane on the Washington beltway, we got a letter with a bill. After a little negotiation they traced my numbers and found out we did have the Easy Pass. They agreed to take the amount of the toll. When we crossed the Bay Bridge in Maryland, they traced our tag number to the Easy Oass and charged it, we never knew the difference.

More rain over night and more maybe today, hot and humid but the clouds are keeping a lid on the temps.

Good morning to all.

Visit by cousin and her family this past weekend was a blast. We had fun catching up and their kids had a little bit of luck with fishing. Conditions were terrible but we managed to catch a few.

One of my AC crapped out during the weekend. I think the compressor seized up. It'll trip the breaker now if we attempt to run it.

In other news, my daughter now has bling! He's a good guy. I'm excited.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Not a fan of easy pass. Lots of people claim they get charged for untaken trips. I try to avoid toll roads if possible.

 

[toppop52]

There isn't a none toll bridge over the Chesapeake. I get a detailed invoice of charges, I know where I went, so...
