Good morning!!!!

A bit of progress in between cloud bursts.

Gosh David, that ariel shot shows an awful lot of new concrete! And just when you were all caught up on staining what was already there. Think the new stuff'll stain any easier now that you're all practiced up?:confused3:

I will spend the rest of today RTM.

We used to call it RTFM. Someone once told me the F stood for Friendly, but after I started reading Unix MAN pages, I was pretty sure it meant something quite different!:laughing:

Hope you like your new saw; please let us know, OK?

Yesterday I left the iPhone on the truck dash and got a high temperature warning and my phone would not turn on for an hour till it cooled down.

My SE has done that a couple times, usually at the most inopportune moment while routing me to some destination. I stick it over the A/C vent for a few minutes and it fires right up again. Doesn't happen in the winter here, only on really hot summer days. Perhaps I need to cobble up some sort of sun shade for the windshield mount?

To pass class you must "perfectly recite" the lyrics.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Thanks, but I think I'll stick to the metronome app on the iPhone.:laughing:

RNG, I know it is RTFM, but this is supposed to be a 'family friendly' forum so I conveniently left out the F.
I got it and the quick charger, with an extra battery. I gotta go get bar oil tomorrow. The wood pile is going into the basement as I speak/type.

Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 11:00AM. Rain showers this morning with some sunshine during the afternoon hours. High 51F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

If it clears up enough later, I'll have another go with the chainsaw, AFTER I swap on a new chain...

Late reporting in because the building contractor brought his excavation guy by this morning to look at the proposed shop building site. We're pretty much all in agreement that the sixty-four dollar question is how far down he'll be able to dig without hitting rock. I suggested an exploratory trench, and he thought it was a good idea. But trench or no, he's still gonna be moving a lot of rock if I can find enough budget to recontour the driveway. Hopefully get an estimate from him before the end of next week.

It was overcast but dry just before the pair of them showed up, then it started drizzling. That kind of cold, humid weather just cuts right through you, and as soon as they left I got a nice hot fire goin' in the woodstove. Still tryin' to thaw my fingers out.:laughing:

Yesterday I stopped by a place in town that sells used pallets, and they had a stack of plastic ones they let me fish through. I found 16 that were useable, but the yard was so muddy from all our recent rain they couldn't get to them with the forklift. Hopefully I'll get a call from them early next week to come pick them up. I figure the plastic ones will hold up better for stacking firewood, and won't rot on the bottom. I'm still going to have to be more careful with the tines, though, as several of the pallets I saw were badly cracked. Now I just need to find some recycled square tube or angle to make the uprights that will stabilize the stacks and support a pallet set on top.

I didn't have any luck with steel framing material for some wood sheds I'd like to build, as the local building supply, not Lowes or HD, doesn't carry any. I did get the name of another outfit, and the contractor for the shop said he'd send me a link, so I've still got some homework to do. Nothing fancy, but I do need to figure out how to seal the roof to the walls, and get an airtight door of some sort as well. Don't want embers getting in there next time a wildfire comes through.

TGIF gang!:drink:

My Aunt has been in hospital off and on the last week with a mini stroke and yesterday a seizure. She is youngest of 10 aunts and uncles on my mothers side. More like a sister than aunt to me. She sure can use some prayers.

And she's got'em from here.

Ooooooo! There's an app for stacking firewood? I gotta get that one!:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Ron, prayers for your aunt.

No word on my wife's aunt. She has been expected to pass on any time now for 2 weeks.
