Good morning all, much cooler day today with rain coming in later and guessing about an inch into tomorrow morning.
Probably have to turn the heat back on...going down to 43 tonight.
I have one little patch of grass I need to mow with the little mower and then on a rainy day I'm going to continue to pick up the house/declutter
as photographer is coming on Thursday to take interior pics. I'm a piler, not a filer, and will be kept busy today.
Ted, prayers sent for your family, may everything be mild if at all.
first day of stay at home today. Will be interesting to see if traffic dies down

Good morning! 60˚F heading to only 70˚F with a NE wind clearing up this afternoon.
LS prayers for your Family.
Kyle the neighborhood is shut down, that includes the wood shop, that would be a tailgate mount. A 3D printer would have been perfect.
Today I venture out, first time in a week for food supplies and to see if there are still lines and how the restocking is going in this area.
I read where they are actually bringing in covid19 infected people from nursing homes in the rural areas to this county to recover. I guess that will make our numbers rise.

Hope the daughter and her family get through her infection with no complications, Ted.
It all depends on the stiffness of the material and the rotation speed, Eric. Thin stuff tends to whip. I've had good luck using steady and traveling rests to machine some pretty long parts, like the column on my drill press, which wouldn't fit through the headstock anyway.
Good luck with grocery shopping, Don. The county here is starting a delivery service for older folks, which I suppose now includes me, that are sheltering in place. Hard to get used to the idea that I'd ever use such a thing, but these are unusual times.
Almost out of milk here, but I snagged a bunch of powdered milk on the last shopping trip, so it'll be interesting to see if it's still as bad as I remember. Back when I was a starving college student, the food coop sold government white cheese and powdered milk, and I sorta got used to the flavor but never really cared for either one.
I tried wiping down envelopes with Clorox wipes yesterday when the mail came, and it seemed to work just fine. Don't know how effective it is, but it's better than nothing. How do you deal with something you can't see, feel, hear, smell, or sense in any way, that can have such dire consequences to your future?
For a few weeks now, the tractor has been having some kind of pressure regulation issue in the hydraulic system. Just sitting at idle, the RPMs will dip for a second or two as if it is experiencing an over pressure condition, then return to normal. Left to itself, it was happening every couple of minutes. After spreading gravel for a few hours yesterday, it refused to go up the hill with a full bucket until I put it in low gear, as if it didn't have enough hydraulic pressure to drive the wheels. Perhaps the two problems are related? Today I'll dig out a pressure gauge and the shop manual to see if I can figure out what's going on. It was only a matter of time before it broke again...

Very timely advise on grocery shopping and food handling in these troubled times:
Bird
Rest in Peace
48 degrees this morning, going for a high of 67. Another .60" of rain yesterday brings us to 9.56" for the month. We've had rain on 32 days of this year and 17.71" in 3 months.
I guess everyone knows that our former 24 hour a day Walmarts now close at night and open at 7 a.m. in the morning. And their website says they open an hour earlier for those over 60 years of age. So this morning, I decided I'd take advantage of that. I got there 5 minutes BEFORE 6 a.m., the parking lot had just about as many cars as usual and there was a line from the door to the grocery section all the way past the other door and down to the lawn and garden section.
However, I found the store has been restocked on MOST things; plenty of facial tissue (Kleenex brand), I didn't see any toilet paper, but also don't need any. There were plenty of open spaces in the egg section, but also quite a few eggs there. There was a shortage of ground beef, but plenty of things in the shelves of the canned food.
Anyway, I have hopes and expectations of not getting out again this week.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 37° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 44° with cloudy skies. Work on getting check valve adapters finished today. Then give my legs a rest after they are finished.
David, glad you got taxes done. Now wait for deposit.
Riptides, place looks good. Wife hid the keys. :shocked: Time to go shopping for your tractor.
Don, nice mount. Hope shopping for your mom goes good.
Mostly, FCC has sold off all UHF TV Channels 38-51 for communication. All TV channels have to move to channels below 38. Those in that area need to complete the move by July 2020. Now that most broadcast are digital they can be man channels on the same frequency. If you are on cable or satellite you will not see any change. All my TV's are hooked to a OTA antenna.
RNG, Michigan is doing it's part to get count up.
Michigan, 6,500 cases. 182 deaths. Oakland county, 1,365 cases, 48 deaths. Makes me worry about going out with the high counts so close to me.
Prayers and best wishes for everyone.
Good Morning All.

Thanks for the report, Bird. I like the idea of being able to order groceries for pickup, staying out of the store alltogether. Walmart offers that service. But as I found out yesterday, only at the mega stores. The closest one of those to me is an hour away, not unreasonable, but certainly inconvenient. I logged into the Walmart website to try to put together an order, one that would be worth the trip. Toilet paper? Nope. Paper towels? Uh uh. Chicken? Only if you want some sort of prepared variety; there was no fresh or frozen meat that I could find. I stopped there. I looked at the time slots available for pickup, and found none open for that day, but they were wide open for the next. Not sure what to make of this, other than it's probably not worth driving an hour only to find basic staples still in short supply. :confused3:
