Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Thanks guys,
I know where 1 plank that might could be tighter but I’m not showing/telling.

I think it was RNG that commented how hard laminate is on saw blades. Totally agree. I will have to change out both the cut off saw and table saw before attempting anything important. I can see a trip to blade sharpener guy in future.

5 hours mowing today. Need about another hour to finish that area,.

I surely appreciate the pics you guys post. We don’t have the same wildlife. Thought I got a big pig supervising this afternoon, but can’t find it so maybe not.

Haven’t dropped any keys yet, but nice to walk on (barefoot). Glad I added the extra underlay.

Here is a quick pic of the moon just appearing

Only 6 new Covid cases reported in our county today. I think that is first single digit report in quite some time. Looking betta.

sodamo, floor is looking good!

Sounds like frustrating day, Drew. Better times ahead.

The laminate flooring is looking great, David!
When I installed the floating laminate flooring in or house (log cabin) in PA, the trim took as long as the flooring installation. Your room is much more regular (and a lot smaller then the great room I worked on), so it shouldn't take you near as long...

51° and a high in the mid-60's today...
I'll be working from home today and tomorrow. I think I'd written this in a previous post (days ago), that I'll be working at work) Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Wednesdays and Thursdays at home. This is so my stepdaughter can get some hours in at her job.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 42° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 70° mix of sun and clouds. Got some yard stuff picked up yesterday. Some grocery shopping this morning. Then mow grass again. It does not want to stop growing this year.

David, flooring looks good.

Drew, good luck getting ahold of Rubbermaid.

Buppies, good new on breathing better.

Thomas, no E muffins?

Everyone stay safe and healthy..

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

good morning all
warmer weather coming in for next two days, sunny and highs in mid to upper 70's.
I'm off early this morning to Doylestown to get new Firestone LE3's put on Ram, then a stop at another body shop
for an estimate, and then home to harangue Rubbermaid. I may have to call Home Depot also to find out how they handle this.

David, your new addition is really impressive. Most of us would dream of having half that talent. With labor shortages being what they seem to be,
good to be able to do your own stuff.

hope you all have a great day

Good morning! A warm 67˚F heading to the mid 80s. Park CedarCide today but knee is still tender from Firewise plus the new trail work site requires us to haul our equipment through a gully and a quarter mile hike so I have a few hours to decide if I want to cancel. Covid cases were not reported till 11PM yesterday and Tuesday is usually the highest day but only 56 new cases. The 7 day average continues to drop but still in red zone.
Kyle there is such a thing as bear flu that Buppies and Thomas might have. Hibearnation happens to coincide with the start of cold and flu season. This has lead to a phenomena knows as “bear flu” .
Ron nice baby bird pic.
David good job on the suite.

 

[Buppies]

47 high of 76 today getting dry again

Hope knee gets better Don maybe Thomas an I do have bear flu

Thomas get well soon

Breathing getting better but the cough that will not quit low grade fever yesterday broke during the night

Prayers for all

 

[Buppies]

Sodamo or you have the most beautiful pictures

 

[wngsprd]

Thanks for the sailboat story.

I know a couple roads you still drive thru a creek, there is no bridge. Both are pretty wide creeks, not just a little stream.

First time I did that, I had a pretty new mid-sized pick up and wasn't sure I was gonna make it to the other side...My son was very small hanging out the window spotting for me. Lots of rocks in that river.

 

[wngsprd]

46 going to 77. A few clouds out.

Prayers said for Don, Buppies and Thomas. I hope you decided to cancel, Don. Give it another day of rest.

Speaking of gas prices, when I went to the dermatologist last week, I was gonna fill up at the nearby Costco. Pulled in and all the gas lines were backed up through the parking lot and almost blocking the main lane. I wondered why such a big crowd at 10am, especially when I got a look at the sign and it was 2.99...that's just as high as the little town near the mountains where I last filled up. I didn't have patience to wait in line, so headed home...the next two stations were 3.19 and 3.18...I had no idea gas had spiked up that much since last time I had been out.

Real nice looking cottage, David...you've been very smart.

I think I have a problem with the hot water heater...at first I thought my son used all the hot water last night, but still cold. I'll go check it out when I finish this cup of coffee.

45 outside this AM, heading to upper 70's.

Looks like our septic/drain field project will get underway today. For real. Pretty sad that it has taken almost a year to get to this point. Two miles down the road my county is installing sewer hookups because this whole area has issues perking and what not. Two miles away. LOL. A price one pays for being rural. Bet the suburb/city folk never give a second thought to sewer/water and internet.

Anyway, need to make a grocery run this AM. Nothing on the agenda. May run the tractor today just because I need some seat time to distract from all the noise and projects on going. Milk house is about half way cleared.

Floor looking good, David. We have laminate in our guest cottage. Floating, is OK even after ten years. Just a few boards have sustained water damage. The edges peel up slightly. Laying it went smooth. Reminds me that I need to finish the first level of the farmhouse. Re-sand and refinish floor. Now that's a dirty job, especially with furniture in place.

Wngsprd, I have a filter issue with two showers. Both do not seem to want to put out hot water. Unfortunate both require whole house cut off to work on them. Did not think of that during the remodel, separate shower lines. Or cut-offs near bathrooms. Oh well, next life.

Hope all are on the mends. Sending positive thoughts for healing.

Stay safe, have a great day, in whatever you undertake!

Good morning! 44 now, may get to 72. Yesterday was very nice in the afternoon.

I am on the other end of the phone with calls in for support. There are 2 sides to the customer support thing responses. I try, really do, but sometimes, you just have to say enough. Yesterday I was very busy. I was helping someone who was working with me on an odd intermittent electrical issue. He was using his laptop and following instructions. The other was a mess one of my co-workers created, and I had to “fix” it since he ran from the issues.

I am involved with construction equipment. It is painted yellow. In the midst of a number of calls I get a call from a “tech”. Starts right into his problem, no model, no S/N nothing. So when I finally get a word in, I ask him “what model”. His reply, and he was serious, “a yellow one”. Sorry, I don’t have the patience for this. I transferred him to the guy who is responsible for that dealer territory. I simply wasn’t dealing with it.

See what entertainment I get today

Hope everyone starts feeling better

Everyone stay safe out there!

As reported earlier on Antibody Test:
Me - 6 months after 2 shot Moderna- 1700u/mL
Wife - 5 months after one shot J&J - 300u/mL
Brother - one month after 3rd shot Moderna > 2500u/mL

Studies are finally being done:

"There is one pre-print study that offers some clues. The research specifically looked for correlates of protection against symptomatic COVID-19 and found that vaccine efficacy against symptomatic infection was 90.7% when antibody levels were at 100 u/mL in lab results and increased to 96.1% when antibodies were at 1,000 u/mL.
But that’s just one study, and we need many more. “There is still not a really robust correlate of immunity, meaning a level of antibody where if you’re above that level we can confidently say, ‘yes, this person is protected,’” Ratner said.
At this point, experts largely agree that antibody tests may be most useful for determining prior infection and identifying if an immunocompromised person mounted an immune response to the first round of shots or after the booster, Gandhi said."

Morning all, Dark with blue skies and back to warmer days. Still waiting for wind to die down so I can go clean up branches in the back area.

Sodamo-like the floor-coming together really nice. Like the whole setup, looks welcoming.
Top-sorry about your friend
Rip- a year to get septic started- hopefully the actual install will go a lot faster!

Stay safe and be well,

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Hey Dennis, will this one work?
View attachment 717668

Thanks. Amazing what you have done with it.

Here’s the Costco flooring I did. This kind can get damp and wiped, but can’t be mopped due to the backing. Never got the hall baseboard & closet door done.

 

[Thomas]

Thomas, no E muffins?

Taste buds out of order from bear flu.

 

[Thomas]

41Fclear sky mid 60's for high.

Outside chores done slice toast will do.
Welll the Mrs. came home from work yesterday with the "bear flu" next 5 or so day might be interesting.

Plans for today...If I can musta up some get up and go I'll attempt cut down the leaning ash tree over driveway and clean up,other than than slow motion day.

Enjoy your day all.

Good morning, low temp is 44° and going to a high of 59. Wind calm. Increasing cloudiness.

Welcome to the 'good morning' thread Rebeccaharris01.

I got my busted off grease zerk replaced yesterday, and now that I have a free day more or less I will try to replace the zerk on the lower swing joint of the hoe. Right now it is almost impossible to get my nipple grabber of the grease gun into there to grease. I am going to try a 45° fitting first.

Have a safe day all
