Good morning!!!!

Don, maybe just try gauze and an ace wrap to cover wound area. Guessing the major goal at this point is to keep it clean.

North Bay trip went off without a hitch. Snowing so hard that when I came back I actually used the real headlights instead of daytime running lights. Road was wet to almost snow covered, bridge decks were white and not treated. We got a little less than an inch, so far.

Going out tomorrow morning to get my nuts (lug) tightened up and get junior to the vampire for the blood the quack wants.

Stay safe all

Drew, with all the improvement you make to the house have you ever discussed a long term, multi year lease?

We did that with our cottage, giving tenant a good steady rate and the ability to make improvements subject to our approval.

I have a five year lease now.
before I made any more improvements I would ask for another longer lease, maybe ten years.
I can always leave...
thanks

current lease has a 5 percent inflation clause each year, probably where it should stay though longer terms ??

Frits, that air powered angle grinder/cutoff saw on the right looks like a very old friend of yours. What tales it could tell...
you want me to cut what??

my hairdresser dressed up as a ghoul, quite the outfit.
All the ladies had fun outfits on for Halloween.

good haul on the last of the sweet peppers

went out and tap tap tapped on the starter motor
started right up...
sounds like dubious reliability to me

Good Afternoon Guys,
Lou, very nice driveway pics, looks like you could plow all those leaves if you were so inclined !

MikeZ, nice progress on the milk house, must feel good to get some of that work out of the way !

Kilroy, thanks for sharing that forged in fire contestant shop. I love watching that program !

Helo, I will try and get a picture of Arunas and Rasa and of course me, and post if I can !

I guess this is my official sign off, from TBN, hopeful for a connection down in the islands !

Happy Halloween to all my TBN friends, have a great evening !

Good Afternoon Thomas,
Unfortunately no, I had to work today, and our newer truck is being repaired in the shop ! That means I used the old truck, and had to shift all day, the Allison Automatic has me spoiled in the newer truck ! Then came home and tried to do a quickie job on the leaves !

Maybe some sleep on the plane tmrw !

Well, Sunday's shop wiring work came an abrupt halt, when I missed the last step on the ladder. I landed on my already tender left leg and saw stars from the F*%)(#g pain in the knee! Thankfully, I didn't fall down. I tried the ibuprofen, lidocaine cream and whiskey treatment, while watching sports the rest of the day.

Yesterday, no whiskey but kept up the meds and the knee was a bit better, and today it's better still. Dang, it hurt. I did manage to get the main stretch of car lift circuit wire pulled and connected in the panel yesterday, then I stopped. Good thing I'm retired and no pressing work to get done.

Lesson learned - PAY ATTENTION on ladders.

OUCH!!!!!

And this is why I recently invested in scaffolding - yea, it is anPITA to set up and take down, but for any sort of serious work it is the only way to go.

Speaking of scaffolding HD has the "Bakers" style on sale for $160@.
/edit
I just bought a section in Virginia. Need it for some work around the house, Hopefully it will mate with the two sections I bought from TSC back in 2020 or 2021, but they are in Mississippi. I only NEED 1 section here at the moment.

Hah! Thanks. I have scaffolding (best tool money I've spent lately). Three sections, but have only needed one so far.

The ladder mishap was coming down FROM the scaffold.
