The turtle represents a slow boat (and finishing the phrase) - to China. She is sending the virus back to China, YEA!!

Thanks all. I hope Don has it right. She eats about $5 worth of apples a day....

Up way too early!

31 right now...high in the mid-40's today. All this cold weather is my fault. I bought two straw hats for summer use and this is payback.

Might get an inch of snow tonight

amazing it is still snowing up there. Texas even had some snow in the panhandle the other day...

When I first got it I used it to look down a plugged down spout with multiple bends. It revealed that the problem was several 1 1/2" screws were used to assemble the sections, instead of proper 1/4". The long screws caught leaves and jammed up the works. Guess that was easier than walking to truck to get more proper screws.

What are you complaining about Rick? You got more screws for your money than you bargained for!:laughing:

But I feel your pain. The rear window defroster wasn't working on the van when I got it. Fished an endoscope up the A pillar on the driver's side to find the wire chewed in half by mice. The ex-mechanic that sold it to me didn't charge extra for that "feature", either.:muttering:

66° and .38 inches rain. It’s Friday, whatever that means

Not sure what mischief I’ll get into today. Maybe productive, maybe not. Doesn’t really matter, it will be a great day

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

That's a fine boat Kyle. Attagirl.

Got the rv down to the tire store downtown and they fixed the rear dual wheel air extension valve they screwed up
putting new tires on. And I ordered another pair of tires for the truck. Only did the fronts two months ago, but recently had some wheelspin in rain in an intersection
and that told me I had gone as long as I could safely.

Then home to house cleaners, all six of them. First they all washed their hands,
Then they went through my kitchen storage area and cleaned it all, and rearranged it...intentionally.
At least I know Mrs Buyer isn't going to find mouse poop under the sink now.
And when they left I spent 15 minutes wiping down touch points and all the knobs.
They understand shiny, I want/need clean. I get them to use bleach in all the bathrooms

That all looked great, until they left...The kitchen floor grout that I just had professionally fixed was crumbling after the first wash
from what ever cleaner they used, likely pine oil. Just dissolved parts of the grout. Groan. Guess that's why one should seal the grout.

I'm headed out to check on the gardens and hunt down the red ants. Beautiful day out, sunny and 72

The NWS/Boston-Norton Office just issued a Winter Storm Warning for parts of MA (like here and at Phil's).

Ford Tune Boosts Ranger to V-8 Torque Levels on the Cheap - MotorTrend

I saw that this morning in the TBN Ranger sub-forum. It's way powerful now and I can run Regular gas. When Ford puts in the extra power pac you can only use Premium gasoline.

We got about 4 inches of snow this morning. Another record, which I'm getting tired of...
