Good morning!!!!

Patience sometimes hard to come by. Planting will be late this year but when spring comes the heat will become unbearable

Coffee is done brewing. 3° with mostly partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 14° partly cloudy skies. Got over 1" of snow overnight. Will clean that up when sun comes out. Got 3 computers switched out. Was starting to feel like a plumber while working under the 2 desks. But pipes to wrench on. Did try one last time to get Window 7 machine running. No luck. Took HD out and put computer and monitor on to be recycled pile. No plans for today. Will look for a couple of movies. I do not watch NFL. NASCAR starts this coming week.

Randy, the price was first thing that caught my eye when I first saw the ad. :shocked:

Drew, take care working in the snow.

Buppies, March! That's next month.

Looking, be careful in the snow. $80 snow plow lesson.

RNG, glad trip is going good. Did you wave to Viking on the way by his place.

Don, court house looks like a total loss. I like park pictures.

Rick, good to hear groundbreaking was yesterday. :thumbsup: Any reports on glass door replacement.

Wngsprd, hope your arm feel better and battery gets charged.

LS, cabinet looks great.

Rich, port matching. Brings back old memories from my go-kart, snowmobile and motorcycle days.

DFT, sounds like you are prepared for Kansas. Stay safe, dry and warm.

Ken, good Dad and GF got shots.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

I keep thinking about how much fun I had in my greenhouse growing things from seed. Know I want to do that again, someday.
Don't think it will be as hot here, which was my problem with the greenhouse before, inadequate ventilation, 120 degrees in there by April and dead plants.

Next time I want something connected to electric so I can have electric heat and light in it. And automatically opening vents, maybe a fan or two.
Basically a miniature commercial greenhouse.
The heat and humidity in that greenhouse felt very good on my winter bones.
Like going to Longwood Gardens in the winter, where you are hit with the mass of warm humid air.
When it's cold out, that feels mighty good.

spooky isn't it... I was looking at small greenhouses on Amazon.
let's see if they start showing up here...the tires I look at on Tirerack.com do.

one of my good friends gave me a memory card that can be used to boot my pc and have all my browsing be untrackable. (a virtual network??)
I don't go anywhere that I worry about, know better than that, but it would be nice to know that every keystroke I make
is not being analyzed for some marketing opportunity,

9 right now...high in the upper 20's and maybe some snow...whole week has nuisance snow predictions...

No plans today...

 

[wngsprd]

34 and rain, going to 43 and snow.

Been fun listening to all 3 local channel weather forecasters walking back their forecasts from last night, 12 hours ago...still one says we'll get 6" while another says a dusting. Mother nature doesn't like her weather and climate being foretold, I guess...plays tricks.

Tomorrow is the real tricky weather since it will get into the teens tonight and the roads will still be wet...not my idea of a good time to go for a regular dental appointment...Don, at least I know what my dentist looks like.

Good morning
It’s 30 degrees and going to 34, snow just started, supposed to be 3 or 4 inches and then sun comes out in the afternoon.

Yesterday’s pop up task was a hydraulic snowblower on a Bobcat at the airport. The auger wasn’t turning. There was no shear pin, it has its own hydraulic motor, and depends on a relief valve for protection. The shaft spun freely, so something was clearly wrong. Had to remove the motor and auger as an assembly and separate them to discover the coupling between them sheared a 5/16 straight key and split the coupling and pulled the threads out of the motor shaft. Was able to HeliCoil the motor shaft, but decided they should order a new coupling rather than make one.

Stopped at a friend’s farm on the way home to measure up a snowplow cutting edge to make a CAD drawing to get some cut out on a waterjet at another friends shop. He cut the square holes in backer plate for carriage bolts for me as well as the holes in the Urethane, when I switched to a urethane cutting edge.



To answer Drew’s question mine was a frozen newspaper as well.
I tried every weapon in the arsenal to get it out, from prybar to sawzall. Ended up with kerosene and a torch and burned it out.

My wife has going through my mother’s things, she discovered this picture of my brother and I from around 1953.


Today I’ll wait and see if I’ve got to plow some snow, maybe resort to cleaning up the shop while I’m waiting. Not much else planned, but something usually presents itself as the day progresses.

Still no vaccine.

Good morning All.

33 and dry at 5am, snowing hard right now and still 33. The ground uncovered by yesterday’s melt is white again. This is supposed to be over here around 2pm. I’ll clean up if necessary because temperature headed to teens tonight.

Will watch the game this evening. Go Chefs!

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good morning! 15 now, 20 later. Snow in the forecast early in the week, forecast for next weekend is frigid.

Got most of the wood split. It was a nice day, but my feet eventually got cold. So that was it. First time I have sat in the seat of the tractor since mid-November. Gonna have to look at the quick connects, the one was a PIA yesterday trying to get the line from the log splitter connected. The other one connected easy.

Also got my question answered about the transfer port alignment to the cylinder liner. I just needed to compare to the original cases...doh. Should have thought of that Friday. Replacement cases must not have got the same attention production did.

Worst think I ever hit with the snow blower......a floor mat out of a car/truck. Was clearing the gift the county road department left in the end of the drive and the snow blower just locked up and died. Must have been a floor mat someone threw out that got plowed into the end of the drive. That was fun digging it out of the augers and impeller. I invented a few new descriptive words that night. Of course it had to happen at night.

Still not sure why someone would throw a floor mat out while driving down the road.......

I think it is time for another coffee!

Everyone stay safe out there

A well fed deer. It was smallest of 3 that visited yesterday. Probably a yearling.
