I love this....
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.
Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.
Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up'.The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveller asked.
'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'
'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in..'
'How about my friend here?' the traveller gestured to the dog.
There should be a bowl by the pump.'
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
'What do you call this place?' the traveller asked.
This is Heaven,' he answered.
'Well, that's confusing,' the traveller said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'
'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind!

Do you use the Kirkland brand oil?

I do, so far no issues. I normally get the full synthetic 5w-30 for the car and truck. I wish they made a synthetic diesel oil. Out here, they only carry the dino 15w-40. I will be restocking 2 cases this week.

Morning all!
Bit of a belly ache has me up at 3 am today. Going to be a great fall day starting out at 56 and heading to high 60's.
Halloween was a bust again this year with only the 4 neighbor children showing up. (we used to get 60 to 70) I made some skeletons out of parachord to scare the children.

I grabbed a quick pic of the drill press refurbish. New to me chuck and depth stop installed and post rust removed. Still needs a good cleaning and some work on the on/off switch. (not sure what it had originally) Will clean the rust off of the bed and coat the whole machine with preservative. Happy to keep it in the family and hopefully pass it along when I can no longer use it.

Wife's ankle is doing much better. She is able to remove the boot and let it rest elevated for short periods of time! Not sure what's on the agenda today. Maybe play in the wood shop for a while.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
