Good morning!!!!

[CWB Wyo]

The low so far is 30*, the high was 46* yesterday. It's overcast now but they are calling for it to be sunny later in the day. The high is going to be in the low 40's and the wind 15-20.

Buckeyefarmer.. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

A few years back my brother pick me up a Savage model 24 over and under. Nice gun but the stock had seen better days. Yesterday I was going to refinish it. I couldn't get the screw out of the stock. Worked on it for a few hours then a neighbor come over and he said he would give it a try. He didn't have any problem at all getting it out. I told him I must be getting old. I don't have enough ***** to work a screw driver. I hope a don't have a problem with the sandpaper.

Going to work on that today.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

No food since Monday . . . I'll bet jello never tasted so good before. Good luck with your recovery.

Have a great day

49F and very sunny ... high today of 54F.

Have to take 3PH frame over to do a little torch work on it ... also to check QH compatibility.

Speaking of QH's, you'd think that by the time EA had reached v2.0 of something, they would have figured out the spacing on the top link ears/hole placement to make their stuff QH compatible.

Apparently not ... so now we have a QH upper hook modification on the menu as well.

Hopefully I'll have the rake finished in the next day or so ... so I can get back to working on my stuff ...

Good Morning!!!! 56F @ 8:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High 64F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph.

Good to hear you're still with us, Buckeye. Hope you can get back on solid food and out of the hospital ASAP. Nobody ever gets any sleep in a hospital...

I think he had you at "Super", Drew.:laughing: Who could resist a name like that?

Look out, Eric, next year will be the 60th anniversary of The Blob!

Got a little more paperwork done yesterday morning, much of which was shredding old utility and phone bills. Got me wondering why I needed to get a paper copy each month, as both are on auto-pay through the bank. Never done it before, but changed over the accounts to paperless billing so I'd still get an email notice. Anyone else doing this and run into problems?

Had another look at the Injection Pump Regulator yesterday morning, and figured out that the only parts that were missing were a flimsy sheet metal nut and a spacer. The threads on the stud turned out to be 1/2x20, and I had a nyloc nut in the junk bin that fit. Just had to trim down the thickness so the nylon ring on top would engage. Then turned up a spacer and now the coil on the IPR is held in place more firmly than it ever was. Installation of the fuel filter bowl went smoothly as well, much easier than getting it out. The truck started right up, but fuel splashed all over the engine from the big pool that had accumulated in the valley between the two cylinder heads (it's a 7.3 L V8). Shut it down and hosed everything off, then went for a ride around the neighborhood. Didn't find anything leaking when I got back. Changed the oil while it was warm, and that pretty much finished out the day.

One more round of campfire pics:


Happy Hump Day gang...

Always had a soft spot for the Savage 24, CWB, but I never understood why they never made one in a 22LR/12Ga combination. Seems a natural that the two most popular chamberings be combined, but somehow the light bulb never came on over at Savage...:confused2:

Hope the sanding goes easy on you. What are you gonna use to finish it?

 

[rswyan]

BEF,

Glad it went well.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

MB is super comfortable and a steal, you pay pennies on a dollar for a used one and if they have been maintained,
all good. And you get to put the top down. You need to go back 30 years for a good SS....

Both are convertibles, the SL had good miles, but some broken plastic pieces around the sun visors, way cheap crap for a $94000 car! Als has a musty smell inside that indicates leaking, very good condition, but spooks me a bit.

Good on you Buckeye! Keep getting better.
Pretty day, mid 60’s and sunny. Wearing my shorts to give the ladies a treat! :laughing:

 

[Thomas]

Take it easy Buckeyefamer.:thumbsup:

The one I have is a 22 Mag / 20 Ga. I was looking for one that was a 22 Lr / 410, but I couldn't find one.
Come to think of it your right. I haven't seen one in 22Lr/12Ga.
I'm going to put 4-5 coats of Tung Oil on it see if I like it. If not I'll try something else. I did get the sandpaper to work and didn't need any help from the neighbor.

Watch out! Some body will accuse you of groping, pinching or other nefarious act!

groping and pinching? Nefarious for sure....dumb men...
That stuff, like advice, when not asked for is often not appreciated.
And today perhaps 99.9% of the time not appreciated. Women are not fondle toys. All of you with daughters
sure know how that feels in your endless efforts to protect them.

Everyone is getting outed, Good Lord Matt Lauer? Where in the world is Matt now?........
In more than the doghouse for sure.
And if he groped your daughter against her wishes in her attempts to become an actress,
I'm sure you have a good supply of dull knives.

Now fondle, nibble on or stroke your wife and you'll likely get lots of appreciation.
Hold that thought.

Senior member/elder of my Quaker Meeting just got outed for over 50 years of marital infidelity.
Like an atomic bomb went off. I've sat on committee meetings with him for decades.
Her family has known mine since I was a little kid. Hard to understand, leading double lives.
Sooner or later the Piper is paid.

Teach your sons to be true. Wow can it bite you in the butt if you aren't.

back to regular programming. Came home with a truck full of ancient IH parts.
The seller's father bought the first 140 sold by the local dealer, now the Kubota dealer.
Lot of long histories here.

Agree 100%, Drew.

But I wonder how many of these accusations are vindictive, retributive, and involved no ****** harassment at all? Happens all the time, especially in divorce court. Famous or wealthy men get a lot of it, too.

The most disturbing part of this is that there's no hearing, no trial, just seemingly knee jerk firing (or worse). Makes it seem as though it's open season on every man out there.

Abusers of either gender need to be stopped and punished. No question about it. I just hope that the authorities involved do their due diligence before acting.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Well, they holding me tonight heart rate went up.

 

[lostcreekranch]

Well, they holding me tonight heart rate went up.

Well then....... you’re right where you need to be until the docs get this resolved. Good luck and fast healing!

It is going absolutely nuts!

10, 20, 30 years ago...everybody was groping everybody! A lot of us (me included) did a lot of partying...including a snortful of coke, booze and other "party favors". this was an age of liberation...good or bad.

Now, rather than begging for forgiveness, some of the victims of this witch hunt need to aggressively go legal on the accusers.

I'm not trying to be chauvinistic, but some of this is BS, pure and simple. I think a couple lawsuits will stem the tide of this foolishness...and the real victims of harassment, men and women, will be better off for it

 

[daugen]

Roy, no arguments from me on that, this is a field day for opportunists and their lawyers.
No innocent person should be charged. Guilty folks aren't getting a pass any more for sure.
Just like drunk driving. More things are simply zero tolerance.
And take Matt Lauer, that wasn't overly long ago, some of these guys are apparently repeat offenders and genuinely use their job position power over women.
Yes, I also believe women do it to men too. And if a man complained, he might be thought of as not masculine, and women I believe are much more likely here to get a pass.
I've been approached by three married women, twice at their homes with husbands not around, one in see through lingerie, so not naive here, some
women are treacherous. But if one was keeping score, I think the women lost a long time ago. Perhaps it's finally gotten to the enough is enough place in time.
It's cultural, in Japan touching and entering another's personal space is considered terrible manners by all. Unasked for touching is culturally offensive. Maybe they just
got there ahead of us? I think they are repressed but that's another story. The Euros think we're repressed too regarding sexuality.

Buckeye, better get an uglier nurse. That cute one has you all excited... take it slow and steady and get better.

 

[Ed of all trades]

Good night guys, Got the leaves raked out into the lawn and mowed the lawn, looks great. Moved a few things out to the shop from the garage and all the daily stuff.

Buckeye, praying for a steady heart rate and a quick recovery.

Have a great night. Ed
