Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

RNG, you really have some interesting hobbies/projects going on, and what a range...fire truck renovation, super high tech home computer system, vanagon conversion, solar power, motorcycling. Not a lot of recliner time for you! :thumbsup:

well no surprise this "safety bar" bracket pulled out, turns out it's mounted in 1/4 inch luan (not known for lots of holding power for sure) and then into a foam mattress. Geez guys couldn't you have done better than that? Particularly when the load is mostly on the top screw, not the bottom...
New screws larger and longer, applied with a liberal application of Gorilla super glue, including gluing bracket where possible. Feels much stronger now and at least I got a
good "bite" on the bottom screw

having a bowl of granola and blueberries, trying to get some roughage in me, want to get off laxatives entirely, but may always need a stool softener.

Good morning! 78˚F, wet bulb temp75˚F, Cloudy heading to 97˚F.
I took advantage of the Wet Bulb Temp yesterday- after swimming I went straight to the garden in wet swim trunks It felt like 79˚F but was really 99˚F.

RS why does The Squeak need a harness?

Sounds like an excellent evening Drew, does she have a parking spot with hookups next to the water?

RNG hope you get the inspection people straightened out. The tailpipe method would make it much easier on them and the public.

Wood shop is opening next week! Garden is producing okra and tomatoes, got the first batch of okra yesterday, time to make some gumbo. My watermelons should look like David's but they withered away in the heat. Some volunteer tomato and bean plants came up in the watermelon space so I'll let them proceed.

I have homework in a computer class. Taking a Zoom class.

My chain sharpener should be here tomorrow just in time for another cedarcide park day.

I did an inventory on all my chainsaws and found the Echo chainsaw and pole saw are .325 pitch and 3/16 file required. The Lynxx 40 volt chain saw and pole saw are 3/8 pitch and 5/32 file.

I ordered same brand sharpener as you in 3/8 pitch and 5/32 file. It will be here Wednesday.

I've also got a Craftsman 14" chain saw .. need to see what it is? Probably 3/8.

How come you didn't opt for the original Stihl version of that chain sharpener, guys? Is it because it costs almost forty bux, instead of the twenty of the Chinese knock offs? Might be because Stihl invented it, but could it also be because good files cost more for good steel, and to machine and heat treat it properly? I like saving twenty bux as much as the next guy, and I hope your sharpeners last a good long time, but it seems like one of those too-good-to-be-true deals to me...

It's like the old Chinese curse, Drew: May you live in interesting times.

Which turns out not to be an ancient Chinese curse after all, just like many things around us these days are not at all what they first appear to be.

Just like that "safety bar" being anything but safe. Know any good bodily injury attorneys?

By the way, I do have a recliner. It was the first and only piece of furniture I ever bought new. That was maybe twenty years ago, and it still looks brand new: I never use it.:laughing:

nice dinner out on the deck looking over the Pamlico River, steady breeze offshore, sat ten feet apart, no need for mask, delightful.

Now Bird you're just not a Pennsylvania boy or you would know all about Fordhook lima beans.
I grew up on them...they were developed on a farm owned by W. Atlee Burpee, located in Doylestown, half an hour away from our farm.
Some folks don't like them, trick is not to overcook them and turn them to mush. Bet we ate them at home once a week.
Basically Fordhooks are the big green limas and the the most common are the baby green limas.

Fordhook Farm, Burpee Seed Company, National Register of Historic Places, Doylestown PA 1891

You’d call mine over cooked then, not mush but soft. Around here they’re hard to find, I sometimes have to go 30 miles to VA to get things like Fordhooks, crowder peas, etc...

I don’t have a stihl chainsaw and it was the wrong size for my chain. It did not come in the right size.

Lots of info online that they're all (including Stihl) made in same factory .. just using different plastic colors.

Got any tire swings on the property, Eric?

Actually I thought they originated with Pferd back around 2012, 2013.

It seems a patent or something might have run out because now there is an abundance of knockoffs.
