could not preserve alien piece, had to basically grind it out. Vibrated my head like mad.
waiting for pain pill to kick in and maybe take a nap
better days ahead

Pins are at times used for root canal treatments to strengthen the tooth. Is that what is was?

BEF, the sad news is that there is no such thing as retirement. You will wonder how you ever had time to go to work.

I'm going to venture to the club today. Not sure how it will go but will take my drone and maybe get to fly it if I feel up to it. Lost a lot of mojo the last couple of months. Maybe some time with the buddies will be good for me.

The SIL reports that he was able to get his Kubota running last night, without me (thank GOD), and moved into the garage where it belongs. It was left out. He has no block heater or battery tender on it. I can get and install a battery tender for him, but he old B1550 has little press-in freeze plugs, so a block heater is not happening.

How about this?

I got both front chains fixed. Turns out that one of the two clevises per chain had vacated. Just stretch the chain back out and reinstall the clevis, this time I wired them to another chain link. Current temp is 41, overnight temp is forecast to be 32°F and foggy. I can
handle that. High tomorrow 34.

Good evening! It is 52 now, I saw 66 on the truck display today. A mere 76 degrees warmer than last Friday. Felt good driving with the window dow.

Congrats Buckeye. Now you will wonder how you found time to work.

Had an appointment to get the windshield replaced in the truck. appointment was 2 this afternoon so didn’t get into any serious project. Did stop at Menards and got a deal on a 10 pack of hacksaw blades. I was out.

last night we went to calling hours for an old friend. Today found out another friend’s wife passed. Both were due to cancer.

not sure what to orrow will bring, will find something!

Everyone stay safe out there.

Rich, sorry about friends with cancer.

Pellet retrieval was a success! I went to TSC, being the 'cheapest' at $6.29 a bag. When I walked up to the pile, they were "Green Supreme" .....
Then, reading the fine print... 'made by Lignetics'... mmmm
After I got home, a little research showed they are very high in BTU's and very low ash.
Considering the small shop up the street is selling Lignetics pellets for $9 a bag, I am pleased with the product.

Did a little straightening up in the shop, then made dinner.... Philly cheesesteaks. They were good!.... and I ate way too much, 2- 8" rolls.
I'm going to go beach myself now.....

Everyone have a peaceful evening!

BEF, next week is going to feel very strange ......

What I said today. Right now it’s a normal Friday.

Sounds like lignetics bought another company. I only burn lignetics, they seem to be best.

Good (Saturday) early arvo. Overnight Low of 15C and it's presently 25.6C, mostly overcast, calm and there was 13mm in the gauge at 0900.

Well, I wasn't going to mention it but today is one of those momentous days in my life that I thought I'd share it with my TBN Mates. Today (31st, NYE) is my 65th birthday and I'm surrounded by family & friends for the occasion... however, yesterday was my last day in the Royal Australian Navy (Reserve). All told, that's a bit over 47 years (Regular/Reserve) of Service.

Anyway, nothing is planned for today (glorious weather) apart from a restaurant dinner tonight and attempting to 'stay up' for midnight and the annual, worldwide, firework displays that mark the end of my BD.

That's about it, take care all and have a happy New Year.
