Good morning!!!!

<snip> Ron, two gallons? Sure is a lot cheaper to buy in bulk than spray cans, expensive stuff.

Drew - are you actually going to use Fluid Film? They've a thicker product more designed for undercoating called Wool Wax.

Snowblower is rigged to the tractor...oiled the chain, touched up some surface rust spots and ran it through it's paces to make sure the auger and fan turned, as well as the chute. I started touching the fan housing, but not enough paint left inn the can.
No mowing today, but the week looks good for mowing after work. As far as the snowblower, I'll grease it when I grease the tractor (this week sometime)

Stepdaughter took wifey in to the dining room. Margeaux was happy to see Mom!!
Downside, wifey took a dive when leaving to dining room. We got her back into her bedroom...that was a project and everybody was getting a bit hostile. Real bummer...but, all turned out OK. I doubt if wifey tries to get in to dining room again for a while. Personally, I think that's a mistake... People have to push themselves to a degree, IMHO. In this case, I was in the minority... Lesson learned, don't break any bones when you're 70+

There are some electronic rust proofing devices available. When I was Fleet Manager in the QAS we had a station that used bore water to wash their vehicles and this promoted rust attack. We fitted electronic devices and it stopped the rust in its' tracks. The local Fire department and the Army base in the same area also used them and found them to be very effective. They must be fitted correctly as instructed. Worth considering if you can get them there. Personally I do not need one as we do not have any problems with rust here as I do not drive on a beach and we do not have salt on the roads. The dry climate is not conducive to rust.
Check these ones out. They also prevent your paintwork from oxidising keeping it new looking longer.

Roy can she use a knee scooter?

Drew, aren't you going to neutralize the rust before you treat it with something like Ospho.

Ospho Rust Treatment - Since 1947

Ospho rust treatment has been killing rust in the Marine, Industrial and Automove fields since 1947

Roy, maybe you can borrow a walker?

Hey David, I really like Eric's and Don's idea about running the flooring diagonally...... shouldn't take you too much longer....

Think we need to take an opinion poll?

David, with the foam pre-installed on the floor, you shouldn't have to add any more underlayment.

Eric, looks like you're getting the halloween decorations in place I think autumn has definitely arrived here.... temp is supposed to dip to 35 tonight.

Kyle, sounds like you had a good time at the garage sale with your daughter

I heard that Tesla is going to move the operation from California to Austin.... apparently the restrictions in California are costing them too much. I bet land / housing prices are going to skyrocket upwards in Austin (pun intended).

Good morning! 74˚F heading to the 90s South wind cloudy. Front is pushing through at midnight giving us a chance of rain and a slight drop of temps.

Kyle, how does the violin sound, were you able to tune it or does it sound like the cat? Will your daughter be getting lessons? I'll be heading over to the parking lot you parked in for cards this afternoon. I think Whipper would like a snake-in-a-box. We have a variety of 16 kinds of snakes in the neighborhood but I have only seen two. Maybe after the Spring Garage Sale you can stop by the house.

There were about a thousand people at the garage sale and maybe a dozen mask. Our county covid cases continues to drop (about a hundred daily) and I suspect that by the end of the week we will be out of the RED zone.

I need to find an organic product to lower the PH in the garden to make it more acid. I'm leaning toward Sulphur. But first I need to do another soil test. The last test in the Summer the PH was 8 mostly because the irrigation well water filters down through limestone rock here in the Hill Country.

2 things I forgot about....I actually scored a nice Prince tennis racquet $7. and a new "Made in USA 100% Cotton" 5'x9' American Flag for $10.

Don, yesterday I knew absolutely nothing about violins...today, I know almost next to nothing about them. The tuner Pegs go into tapered holes and are to be pushed in relatively tight to hold tension on the strings. This violin has what I would call, worn out pegs. The peg's tapers are actually shiny smooth, where they are supposed to bite. Been looking at videos. Worst cast option, are 4 new special gear tuner pegs, that cost $65. (more than the whole thing but....)
It does sound like a cat, until a virtuoso gets ahold of it.

We have a lady at church who loves my daughter, and she might consider lessons. I have to say my daughter is proficient at watching learning videos and she has talent.

My son did accolyting at early service, my daughter played bass at 11am service, and I did the slides. Also, my wife and I are leading youth worship this Wednesday.

67F and "Fair" @ 20:30, heading down to a low of 59F for the overnight. High hit 78.4F today.

Got electrical connection for diverter repaired ... once I managed to get the old terminals out of the Weather Pack connecter ... which was a bit of a PITA.

Also cleaned the pre filter for the Cub, blew the air filter element out, and put it all back together once the pre filter was dry.

Stirred up the compost I set out to dry with the loader, may start screening it tomorrow.

Dug up and transplanted another 13 Stella D'Oro's, making it 28 so far. Still a few more to go ... plus the big clump that didn't get divided last year.

Also harvested 4 seeds from a seed pod on one of them:

Will be interesting to see if any volunteers show up next year in the bed where they were planted.

Heading down shortly to feed the fish and then maybe a movie.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

 

[rswyan]

I cannot express how great your yard looks RSWYAN flowers plantings and all

Thanks Bup ... we are very happy with our efforts so far.

Thankfully the weeds are mostly green as well ...

Looking forward to seeing what it looks like next year, after I've had a chance to spray it a few times.

High temp was 88F, DP 65F, low temp at midnight, forecast 64F. Chapel to start morning, made wife's breakfast (pancakes), then into conserve energy mode. Did help wife with removing 4o'clocks that were blocking view of road while backing out. Watched some of Dallas beat up on Giants. Went to VFD fund raiser for dinner.

David enjoy the football.

Hmmm, diagonally… so helpful. How do I figure the angle?

Hmmm, diagonally… so helpful. How do I figure the angle?

45 and 135 degrees ?

Which one you use depends on which end you’re cutting.

 

[RoyJackson]

Roy, maybe you can borrow a walker?

We actually have two walkers...one with 2 wheels, the other, no wheels. Had the wheeled one for a long time, but can't recall why we bought it or where it came from. Thinking about it, might have been when I screwed my back up in 2009
I was in the other end of the house when Suzette fell, so I don't know exactly what happened...but she was on the deck and couldn't get up, even with our help.

50° right now...high, about 70 today...

 

[daugen]

good morning all.
Hang in there Roy.
cloudy day today, 61 going up to 72
I have an eye appt this morning and then hoped to go to Ram dealership in Flemington NJ where my truck
was sold and I'm guessing serviced and find out what has been done to it. I want to do a transmission and radiator flush
but not if they have already been done once. Trans flush on this model says original fluid last 150k miles but every video online, and there
are a whole bunch about changing fluid in this 8 speed automatic, street wisdom says max 100k miles.

Not sure I'm going anywhere if they dilate my eyes, particularly since I lost my sun glasses in the move.

Drew, aren't you going to neutralize the rust before you treat it with something like Ospho.
Sure am, ordered a gallon of that also. Thanks. I used Ospho on my boat motors and really liked it plus it didn't smell terribly.
Really needs to be on a lift to do this right and on two different days to let the Ospho work overnight.

I have to drive past Chris' auto body in Lambertville on way to Ram dealer in Flemington, so might stop in and get a pro quote on fixing the fender lip rust
before I start making a mess. I insured this auto body place for over 20 years, wonder if they remember me. Owner's sons running the place now.

leaves are coming down, might make a pass with the mower and bagger this afternoon.

Hope you all have a nice day
don't forget to tell your wives you love them...

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 61° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 80° with clouds in afternoon. Picked up all the small rolls of fence from Saturday. Ready to put in trailer and take to recycler. Caught last 20 laps of NASCAR race. Ended the way I like it. PT this morning. Then will see what I am going to get into.
Sparrow's will pose for a picture.

Roy, good wife did not get hurt. Problem with many wheeled walkers. Is that you have to grip brake pedals to hold walker in place. My one aunt has one that always has wheels locked. Need to grip brake handles to release wheel.

Rich, hope you got wood split.

Thomas, that is a lot of leaf blowing.

Kyle, violin sounds like a cold winter indoor project.

David, putting flooring down on a angle. Sound like a good way to put yout narrow room flooring down. My compound saw has preset notches for different angle. Mark the 2 opposite angles and switch saw as needed.

Looking, hope customizing of conveyor went well.

Buppies, did you get the Land Cruiser. When I did the Barrett Jackson Auction a few years ago. They were getting good dollars for them.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

actually Don I ordered evaporust instead of ospho after reading that I had to wash off a white powder when dry plus evaporust
is allegedly less harmful to paint not being acidic.

this is when one dreams of having a lift in the garage...

 

[Buppies]

No Ron yesterday did not work out maybe later in the week or weekend

59 high of 76 today still cloudy in the mid 80s by Wednesday fall taking a break

Prayers for all

 

[Buppies]

Roy saying prayers Suzette recovery’s quickly

 

[wngsprd]

64 and a bit of drizzle, heading to 74. Happy Columbus Day!

Ron, that was a lot of fence...I bet you're worn out.

Buppies, sorry that look at the Land Cruiser didn't work out.

Kyle, you'll be hearing some Mendolsohn and Dvorak concertos before you know it.

My son and new wife are stuck in Denver after Southwest cancelled their flight yesterday. They say Wednesday is the earliest they can get booked back to Raleigh. I think they are a bit excited that they can get a couple more Rocky Mountain hikes in. They've been texting amazing pix.

Cut on the outside spotlights about an hour ago...2 skunks, so I've got to get busy on a plan.

Bought a repair kit for one of the outside frost free faucet/sillcocks...couldn't find one for my brand...couldn't even find one on Amazon, so bought the Woodford brand that seems to be the big seller at HD. Not a single part fit. It used to only leak when turned on, but of course in disassembling the old one and reassembling, it now leaked even when turned off...so I had to rush to get to the hardware store (closest is 30 minutes) before they closed. I had turned the water off for the whole house.

Decided to try out Sharkbite and install a shut off valve on the 30 foot line that feeds this faucet, and also found a Sharkbite sillcock. Never used their products, but heard good things. So when I get home, I crawl back under the house and follow the water line back from the faucet to find the earliest spot I can install the shutoff. Voila, there is already one there! What luck. Flipped it off, came back inside and bragged how fast I fixed it to my wife. Then confessed. But I do have another use for the shutoff. It was getting too dark, so will do the faucet today.
