For those of you with a little time to spare and who like to see a bit of engineering ingenuity, I put a link in the welding section to a guy's video I came across. I thought of you PJ when he showed how he used piano wire and a ball bearing to check his welding table was flat.

There was another thread over there last week from someone asking how to weld a piano wire to a ball bearing. Poster was very tight-lipped about why he wanted to do it. I'll have to check yours out, though. Sounds fascinating.

Made a mistake today. I live half way between two Costcos. Always went to Harrisonburg before but today I went to Charlottsville instead. Traffic like northern Va and could not find a thing. Pushed that cart all over that store about 3 or 4 times. Never did find everything. :laughing: I should have known better.

Hope your day is going well. Ed

Good evening all. 35F at the start this morning, calm wind clear sky, frost on windshield. Sky stayed clear wind was moderate and high temp was 64F. Choir practice, then leaf duty the rest of the day. Picked up 10 bags, not quite done.

RNG wheel work on old parts is always changeling. Had many of the same challenges on the old 10-speed wheels, finally found a rim in decent shape, amazing how much faster/easier the wheel trued up,. I think I had the wheel round within .01 in and side to side .015. Used the "sound" method to check evenness of spoke tension. BTW nice pics of sunset.

Ed glad to hear mother doing better, more prayers on the way.

Kyle, we always had trouble with spings in stamping dies when spring coils almost touched, sounds like you need a stiffer spring.

Don how are you going to keep all the tamale variations separated, German/Tex-Mex, meat vs veggie :eek:

PJ hope you get your sound room the way you want it!

Randy have as much fun with your new vehicle as you seem to have looking for it.

Another unseasonably warm start to the day, 12C/54F at 8 am. WIth rain on it's way, this is a good day to go without a fire in the kitchen range and scrape out the soot.

Ed, good to hear your mom can still see ways to make a bit of fun.

Wng, there have been government taxes on windmills and water wheels for centuries, so it's not too surprising that most adaptable of species, **** bureaucraticus, soon found a way to take advantage of your changing farm landscape.

27 degrees out, warming up with rain coming in later today and tonight.
Off early to get a haircut, can't be messy for Thanksgiving visit with relatives...:rolleyes:,
then home to meet helper and trim trees.
Should be interesting since I told him yesterday he wasn't mowing my place next year, just trimming.
I hope he isn't upset but it turned out to be too much money and not enough satisfaction.
I was his biggest account and somehow I never came first...lots of things I wanted to get done this past summer didn't get done.
So we are going back to the arrangement of the year before. I hope it works.
Today I lift him up in the man cage with the FEL and extendable power saw and we beat the woods back.

I ordered a new F2690E Kubota mower, six foot deck, to mow my own place next year, and will sell the JD diesel garden tractor. One of the biggest features of the new mower is that the deck flips up in front to sharpen the blades, no more crawling underneath. I can't do that any more with my fused neck, just hurts too much. And I like really sharp blades so having it so easy to sharpen blades will be a plus for me.
I asked for delivery in January but there's a 500 rebate for this year so maybe last day of the year. My oldest brother has had the same mower for twenty years, pretty indestructible actually. JD makes a nice one but more money. And I saw that Iseki actually makes a nice looking out front mower, but not imported into US. Now Eric could get one... really need a lot of lawn to justify these things, my 8 acres does.

Good morning all, 26 this morning, headed to 58 and mostly sunny. Got a furnace inspection this morning and mom has a Dr appointment about her pace maker his afternoon, so today is going to be just those two.

Pj, I used to have my 8 track recorder, Tascam 688, set up and did some recording at home and at church. Are you going to do any recording too. Sounds like you are almost set up for it.

Buckeye, they are set up kinda just flipped but things like freezer bags are close to the front/rx in Hburg, there they are against the back wall. By the time you wonder around and find them you have gone a far piece. After about half a dozen things......

Thanks guys, Mom is doing better, but she tells my wife she is feeling awful and me "I am feeling better, just tired." She gets fussed over from wife more than me. :D

Randy, Have a great day, Praying.

Don, still praying for you and your family.

Have a great day guys. Ed

Good Morning.
35 going up to 39 and rain showers.
Wind S17 gusting to 24 mph.

We got a new Pug puppy yesterday (not my idea) and miraculously the thermostat went from a comfortable sleeping temperature of 68 right up to 72 F. I wasn't aware of 6 week old puppies being able to jump up 5' to do that. So I guess I will have to blame one of the cats.

Have a good day, all.
