Good morning!!!!

I found this picture of dad, it was taken in 1944-45. The tin plate is peeling badly.

LOL, Thomas teasing us time card punchers.

Didn't take him long to settle into that retirement lifestyle, did it?:laughing:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Time to take a swim in the infinity pool overlooking the Pacific ~1000' feet below.

Paco looks well fed.

Yer killin' me with those photos. Keep up the good work!:laughing:

Did some home work on new camcorder my have things change since 20+ years ago :shocked: guess I'll leave this task up to Mrs. since she want wifi iphone etc. goodies, I want nice little hand held basic.

The video cameras on today's smart phones put most previous camcorders to shame, Thomas. If the boss wants an iPhone, she'll be all set!

Went out to wash Audi, looked inside, there was Apple phone on passenger side rear floor, even though I stuck my hand way under there it was clearly in a hidden zone, and it slid out promptly after paying 40 bucks for transfer plus the phone.

Yep, works every time! :duh:

As usual, an abundance of great pics showing the awesome places people live and visit. Don’t mind looking at the snow as long as I don’t have to shovel it. Guess I should be getting our tree up soon.

Even better to hear of folks on the mend, even BEF back to work

I carry (and misplace) my iphone almost everywhere I go. Will almost always set it down someplace safe where I’m working, then have to hunt for it. I use Find my phone a lot. Wife has to call my number a lot too. Too often it’s in plain sight, just blending in.

I got my carport plans done enough to get truss input. Submitted to the local manufacturer by email, didn’t have to go in. So I also posted over in the Build it forum for TBN input. While I won’t attempt to finish the job, it would be nice to get the posts and beams up while my tenants are on holiday.

Here they are




Gorgeous day here, batteries are fully charges, wife should be back from cookie exchange soon - life is good.

Good Evening Y'all,

Warm today, Warner tomorrow.
I added a Vent to the Barn Door, it has louvers in it and they are adjustable so I can close them when the big rains hit, they are also screened ! It passes a nice flow of air when opened full, I have another for tomorrow install, then two more in the waiting just in case.
Hoping to reduce the heat in the Barn during the hotter months, I used to use a screen insert I made, it helped a lot but I added a Door Opener, when closing, it doesn't like the screen so I am trying the Adjustable Vents, hoping for the best.

Working on improving my method of using a Land Plane to create a driveway with a crown. I need some drainage on the sides too.. got a lot of help on the Gravel Road Maintenance Thread, after install another vent tomorrow I will do some edge work.

I have had a 8' Wooden Step Ladder for a LONG while, 30+ years, and its got a little loose, I tighten the cross rods for each step, added a new Flip-up Shelf made from 3/8 Plywood, those two things tightened it up. Then I added a cross support of 3/8 Plywood, across the back of her about 18" high tapered to fit, glued and screwed. All in all the old girl is solid as a rock.

interestingly enough, I went to Lowes a few days ago, asked about any scope 3/8 Plywood handing around. I was directed to the Cutting Area and there was a piece of 3/8 Plywood about 16" wide and 4 ' long. I asked about a price, they asked me what I was going to do with it... I told them fit a wooden ladder, they said I could have it. They marked it with a PINK Marker and it was free.
When I went to check out, the Clerk at the Register, yes I do not use the Self Scan Check Out, looked all over the pic for a tag, I told her when I approached that it was a scope piece and it was free, see the PINK Mark. Well she had to get a manager to come to the Register and approve the action... funny !

All in all I had a good day, got one vent in, got two quotes on new Trucks, and fixed up the ladder... and there is tomorrow... God willing and the creek don't rise !

God Bless and a Merry Christmas to all !

Handsome guy, from a Great Era in our country. Imagine guys lining up to serve...

Didn't take him long to settle into that retirement lifestyle, did it?:laughing:

No it didn't, can't blame him either. :laughing: Wonder if that sinking in the mud after 6' was instant karma?

Gorgeous day here, batteries are fully charges, wife should be back from cookie exchange soon - life is good.������

Your body's batteries, or the house's? You stay busy with construction/home energy projects. Hope you get a cookie brought home....better beat the dogs to it.

J- it's cold/windy/rainy here too, so enjoy some for me too.

Good evening all. 36F this morning, overcast, light wind. Forgot to check bucket for rain amount, Did not see any snow either. Air has been so dry that precipt has had trouble reaching ground. Sky did clear off late morning, wind stayed light to moderate and hi temp was 43F. Had to drop Scooter at vet for surgery, they found bad tooth and took care of it at same time. He 's not a happy camper tonight I had blood drawn for annual physical after dropping him off. After cleaning lady left, started fire in insert, and went for bike ride, wished I had worn heavy winter gloves, fingers got cold rest of day was fire tending and conservation of energy.

Here’s one of my Dad, 1944 I think.

Good morning all. It didn't seem that cold this morning, with only a light frost, then I come back inside and see the pictures of far away much warmer shores and realise there is a lot of scope for improvement.

My wife wants me to make a more stable Christmas tree support than the flimsy one she bought a couple of years ago. Should be a good excuse to thin out the scrap pile and play with the welder.

Found my missing regular glasses inside the bucket of my grapple.

Intriguing place to keep them Drew !

The glasses I lost a few winters ago while putting out hay have never surfaced again - though I have my suspicions ...

 

[mpham]

Morning everyone! 32 here with light snow happening. Sounds like everyone is doing good or improving. Some great pictures of land and lights! Oh, and nice vacation pics too. Off to work soon. Stay safe and healthy!

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning,

I've got a town run with the dump involved this afternoon. Other than that I am going to conserve energy.


Have a safe day all

 

[Buppies]

Hard to imagine those kids saved the world.

 

[wngsprd]

34 and snowing, but not sticking to the ground...going to 41.

Great WWII pix. Heroes. Freedom.

Speaking of cell phones, mine (Samsung Galaxy 5) has gotten pretty old so that the battery won't hold a charge long enough for me to get through a single cardio workout...and boy do I move slower without the music. I'll look for a replacement battery, although I've heard that many on the web (Amazon) are poor quality). I like my phone and see no reason to replace it.

Haircut and gym today and more decorating and paperwork.
