good morning all
Don, cool picture, never saw a candy cannon before
56 going up to 60 today with a lot more rain starting later this morning, maybe another inch of rain and wet through Tuesday

I tried some prepared barbecue flavored jackfruit last night, made some sandwiches out of it.
Not bad, a little strange, like falling apart pot roast, and thankfully they didn't add too much salt to it.
Clearly one of those foods you need to add some different flavors to. It looked good, chunky like meat, but much softer.
My curiosity has now been met.

with the devastating damage in Florida, here's one positive report:

This is a traditional Christmas story

Thanks Roy. Passed that on to a flying buddy of mine who flew Vampires and Sea Venoms. He loved the Vampires and hated the Sea Venoms.

49° this morning going for a high of 83° with only a 5 mph breeze. Great weather . . . EXCEPT . . . no sign of rain yet in the foreseeable future and lawns sure do need it.

Yesterday I posted about my weird auto accident with a flying wheel weight and appreciate everyone's comments. I consider myself lucky, even though I do have $500 deductible insurance.

And now some good news?? I haven't mentioned the miseries I've been having with my left knee because I know my problem is nothing compared to what some of our members have been having. But the aching knee has been bad enough that I didn't even go to bed a couple of nights; just could not sleep lying in bed. The only way I could relieve the pain was to sit in my recliner with the footrest at a particular angle.

But I finally went to the doctor Friday morning, and started a prescription yesterday morning, and this morning . . . lo and behold . . the knee is so much better this morning that I feel like celebrating.

49 very cloudy more rain this afternoon pond is full thankfully

70s rest of the week next Saturday low 60s winters coming and this year might be the real deal

Prayers for all our Country those suffering in Florida and South Carolina

Kyle your new job sounds like you are very happy

Glad Birds knee is better

Glad to hear your knee is feeling better. What is the medicine you are taking for it? My knee has been barking at me every step for a few days, it was better yesterday after I took some ibuprofen.
I finished putting the 5/8ths rebar in between each rib in the rock bucket yesterday. Effectively reducing the rock size by 50%. That's good but one problem remains with this bucket. That is the teeth keep the bucket off the ground enough to make it hard for the small stuff to get in the bucket. I should have started this project with a smooth edge not a tooth bucket. Ugh.
60º going to 88º no rain in the 10 day forecast.

48F cloudy sky upper 50's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

53°. Another .29” rain over night, 1.21” since Friday night.

My glass deductible is lot lower than for other issues.

 

[wngsprd]

60 and heavy fog, going nowhere, just 60.

Happy Birthday, Popgadget! Hope your birthday flight to Manchester was enjoyable.

Happy Birthday to Alien...hope your rain stopped.

Buppies, glad you got you power back. How's your beach look?

PJ, congrats on the nap...it's hard to get a whole 2 hour one!

We've only received 1.1 inches from Ian, but my mom got close to 5". We are supposed to get more today. The remnant "eye" is still sitting over Virginia.

There was enough break in the rain that I got a good long hike in. Otherwise, did paperwork and inside chores.

Good Morning Everyone

recycled the cardboard yesterday. They couldn't start my zero-turn, so delivery is delayed until Monday, but it will come with a fresh new battery now. I think I found a used Wallenstein wood chipper for the yard work around here (same business where i bought the mower). Considering it. Men's Breakfast on Sat was good. My wife should be home tonight (Sun).

catching up ...

Bird - that is a Miracle story, so glad that you were not hurt and that you didn't lose control of your vehicle, a new window is a minor inconvenience.

Popgadget HBD2U, I hope that you enjoyed your evening flight, sounds like fun

One of the goals is downsize house and belongings. Wife wants to keep her baby grand piano which takes a lot of space. To compensate, I’ll need a very large shop. Very large.

BEF ... problem solved

keeps buying decorations to fill the attic space......

that is hilarious, sorry ... well said though

Spam is cool again!

what do you mean by again ? those are the same cans still, from 6+ years ago (bahahaha)

Bird - windows are $200 deductible here, comprehensive is $500 for everything else. Glad that the knee will start to feel better. My knees are week now, so I just blame my wife for that ...

Alien - HBD2U also

A little warmer this morning going to 58 today. Drizzling rain

Got the Stilh weed eater working again yesterday. Placing it in a darker location could see that the spark was ok. When it floods letting it rest for a day or so usually fixes it.
Will work on bringing an old Stilh chain saw back to life. Will check ignition and if ok go to fuel issues. Having a spare chain saw can help if binding up the primary chainsaw.

The Deers keep coming to eat chestnuts. Standing within 50 ft of them does not bother them they keep on eating. The shells from the chestnuts makes a big mess.

It's a lucky man who's wife makes his knees weak. Mine just pains my arse

I found these manual mills are still made in USA, and it caught my eye that the B model has ball screws for X and Y.

Vertical Milling — Wells-Index Milling Machines

Here's the dilemma. At our level, the students really just need to grasp the concepts of manufacturing, not necessarily making a whole bunch of projects. They make a small project out of aluminum. Our students get so much more training and classes, that the machining is just one facet. We hope they learn to "design for manufacture".

The new cnc mill we are getting will do much, but I especially want to tweek a program as fast as possible, to show them how fast their small projects can be made in a modern mfg method.

Any pancakes in here? Can't afford eggs at $4/dozen. OK, I can afford them I'm just not willing to pay that.

Good Morning
It’s 55 and only going down, with more rain to add to the inch we got yesterday.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, it was a nice day. Wife and I went out to breakfast, had lunch with an old grade school friend that was in town for our high school class reunion (which I skipped). My oldest son and grandson joined us at the restaurant.
We came back to our house and continued the visit until I had to go to the airport. The trip went well even though the weather in Philly wasn’t nice, with low ceilings and visibility in drizzle. Coming back it was nice to see the lights appear out of the murk. Another nice dinner with copilot at Mission BBQ, half a chicken with Mac and cheese this time.

No plans for today, might shoot with youngest son if weather lets us.

Very good post!!!
I expect there will be war crimes trials when this is all said and done...at least, I hope so...
