Good morning!!!!

[RoyJackson]

Drew, since you posted about rs getting spewed at, I thought I'd take the time to show you what he said to me. To all: I did not post what Drew posted earlier. In fact, I haven't even seen it yet...

He knows I have a 10 year old daughter with disabilities and that she has to ride the short bus.

This is how he replied after I told him he needs professional help.



The man has given up on any type of civility IMO. There is one or two others that still aim short bus jokes at me. And they all happen to be on one side of the line.

But hey, it's the internet. You get all types. And a few show their broadsides.

Just thought I'd let you know, "The rest of the story".

So I don't necessarily miss him.

Friendly Politics was a mistake from day1...
Seems like some guys just go totally insane when they enter that forum...and, admittedly, sometimes I suffer temporary insanity too. The other problem is some guys can't leave it behind when they post in other (non-political) forums

Good morning all. A dry sunny day here, with temperatures on the cool side for the time of year.

Some days go better than others. I wanted to open up a few holes to 22mm in some steel blocks using a "blacksmith" drill bit (reduced diameter shank) in my modest sized pillar drill. I was going slow with plenty of cutting oil, but still aware it was pushing it outside it's comfort zone. The last one did grab a bit going through, though it was all bolted down and nothing went spinning. Thought I'd got away with this tool abuse and under my old scheme I wouldn't have known differently as I tended to leave the last used drill in place until the next time :ashamed: Now I'm trying to follow Ron's advice and put everything away when I've "finished". So instead of potentially days of blissful unawareness, I found out immediately that the chuck is seized up tight. Unfortunately it is not an ordinary chuck, it has a tool-less quick release locking ring that is refusing to move. Got it upside down, dribbled in a little penetrating oil and left it to soak. Time now to go at it and get the disappointment out of the way early

PJ, 2-1/2 hours to work ! Hope you have a better ride in this morning.

CWB, thanks for the pictures, that looks a substantial sheep wagon.

71 high of 89 today t storms later 40 percent chance

Prayers for all those in need

 

[Buppies]

Yes October which will be our change up month I think Don. Once the ElNino gets started although weak it will be the storm track near you with plenty of rain and storms but that’s a ways off. By mid September the east will cool off with normal precipitation and you folks should follow. I also think the tropics will bring Texas something

 

[Buppies]

Roy I agree 100 percent they should close the Friendly Politics forum

Wngsprd glad you found your leak

A sheep wagon I’m educated here every day

RNG hope the van passes with flying colors and you are soon enjoying it

74 going to 94, forecast is drying out, very little rain for next week.

up at midnight in hot tub getting rid of leg cramps from too much on my feet yesterday. Thankfully ten minutes in the hot water and I was
all better, albeit smelling slightly of bromine. I put in a new bromine cartridge due to guests coming, and changed the water, felt pretty nice last night. Clear night, lots of stars, I'm far away from any city lights.

some final foodshopping this morning, then some brownies to bake, and will try to cut some roses for the guest room. Guests arriving late afternoon so mostly an inside day for me. And then three days of no farm work, that will be a nice rest actually.

Going to put my friend to work on a few projects inside, like changing out a ceiling fan and an overhead light fixture. Then build some 20 inch high speakers stands I got for some small Klipsch bookshelf speakers that had been sitting (bad me) on the floor in the living room, which of course tubbies up the sound. I think it will be too hot for both of us to do outside projects, plus after yesterday I'm kind of projected out. I wore out both of those Hispanic helpers, not easy to do, hard workers.

actually if I get caught up I might powerwash some equipment today, in the shade. Always seem to stay cool spraying water around, though it does mean drying the equipment and regreasing afterwards. Messicks has a funny video of why to be careful with a pressure washer on tractors.
Yup, stay away from all wiring harnesses, alternators, etc. In fact, in the engine, I try to just use a garden hose carefully and not high pressure.
one interesting thing they said is don't wash your engine/radiator, and then go out and use it. Dust gets into water on radiator, creates mud and hardens, really messing up heat transfer. I never air dried my radiators, never thought of that, but then I put the equipment away when done, not head back out.

May you all be happy and content today.

Good morning all, 73 heading to 85 with a 20-60%chance of rain. Got the grass mowed yesterday and had a close encounter of the fuzzy kind. I stopped the mower to talk to my wife and saw a little yellow fuzzy caterpillar on my arm. Flicked it odd and it just slightly stung me in one tiny spot and went away quickly. I have been sting by them before and the sting is the size of the caterpillar and lasted long while. So beware of little yellow caterpillars.

Hope and pray that you all have a great day, prayers on the way for those in need. Ed

 

[Buppies]

Ed I’ve never heard of a stinging caterpillar hope you have a great day Ed

 

[Buppies]

Drew happy and content I’ll try today thanks for the advise

One of the little indicators I check when someone posts something really off the wall is what time of day it is.
I think a lot of guys get fortified with some liquid courage, or something..., and then it's full bore into the JD sucks/Fords suck worse/your welds suck and of course the Commies are still coming over the hill... And maybe they are... Some of these folks seem to have a personal pipeline to the Truth. And if you don't believe in the Truth, well....you're just an idiot unworthy of breathing air. Switch to CO2 please...

Lots of fresh air here. Breathe all you like. Though I can smell RNG's van starting up and I think he needs more work
on the emissions...

We are all different.
We need to highly value our differences and the freedom that allows us to have them.
I don't mind being called naive. I do mind being called a moron.
Lose the labels and us/them attitude and the world becomes a delightful place.
Share the love.

time to get a move on. That was a saying I remember from my Father. Have no idea where it comes from.

70F cloudy chance of shower here and there until late afternoon low 80's for high.

Doe and her 2 fawns having day break breakfast now,should be interesting see how the fawns react when children wait for the school bus for the first day of school.
E muffin feed little critters and slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[ronjhall]

Poured second cup of coffee. 55° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 74° with partly cloudy skies. Got lawn cut yesterday. It was wet and clumped in areas. Never did get any rain that was forecast. Doctor appointment this morning for my arm. Sure hope they have some relief for me.

Still having problems with Amazon Logistics. I am afraid they are hiring delivery people that cannot read English. Packages are left every place but back porch that they are directed to with a large sign in front door. I am to the point of sending any package that is not delivered to proper location returned to Amazon. Top it off yesterday UPS delivers wife's medication to front steps. My call to complain to UPS got a call back from local supervisor at distribution center. She will have a talk with driver. UPS has a new service called UPS My Choice. Using this service had wiped out all notes for delivery to my address. :confused3:

Eric, putting tools away after using them. Keeps my mind keyed into where to find them when needed. Fixing your drill will have it ready for next time it is needed. If it can be fixed.

RNG, good luck with VW smog test.

Good Morning All.

Drew interesting saying would be curious to hear about others

Here one I like “ it’s just as easy to get glad as it is mad”

Good points on peoples comments.
My Dad used "Time to get a move on". A true Michigander. Do you have ancestors from the mitten.

Ron, in our area, both UPS and FedEx drivers, drop packages at the front door and RUN back to their vehicle and take off. They used to ring the doorbell before running, but not anymore.

76 degrees going for 97 as usual today. Sure be glad when it starts to cool off.

Out here in the country my drive ends at back of house. All the services have have been delivering to back door for years. We never have used the front door. It has steps. No steps at back door. Plus there is a place to put packages out of the weather.

 

[txdon]

One of us is confused. I thought September 1 is this coming Saturday...:confused2:

That or you're really getting the hang of the retirement thing, Don!:laughing:

". . .two weeks away is September. I hope . . ."

Oh no, you are having problems with your new glasses. Hope this clears it up.:thumbsup:

. . . .two weeks away is (in) September. (period) I (pronounced eye, not one) hope . . .

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 76˚ to 100˚ lots of sun. Organizing day today with the extra space of the drop zone and Spinning inside during the 100˚ afternoon.

Friendly Politics is a place for Don Rickles, you don't have to know a thing about politics just how to throw insults. It's like that on every internet place where politics is discussed these days, the discussion quickly digresses to who can insult the other the most.

The problem would be eliminated if only 2 post per day per person were allowed that's about the extent of civil talk before the 50 post of insults start.

Time to get a move on , , ,

That's why I flipped the floorpan of the house in the country so the drive would come to and end at the front of the house which was the opposite side facing the road which most people call would call the backdoor but (ha ha) I flipped the house so now you are at the front door.:confused2:

Of course we were alway calling the front the back and the back the front. We finally had to start calling it the road side or the garage side. The garage side being the front of the house.
