Reminds me of an old cigarette commercial, I think it was Winston.
“What do you want, good grammar or good taste” lol

Coffee is brewing. 67° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 88° with mostly cloudy skies. Managed to get grass mowed in between rain and thunderstorms. Not much else got done. Way to hot and humid for me. Stayed in much cooler house. Will try to get some garden pond maintainace in today.
June full moon is the Strawberry Moon.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Good morning all,
64° now highs only in the upper 60’s and a chance of showers throughout the afternoon and evening.

Never made it for lunch yesterday, Mrs had some appointments late morning and didn’t feel like it. Just puttered around and conserved energy most of the day.

Today need to do some trimming and weeding and maybe another dump run in.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Enjoy your day all.

Mostly, only two joints on a B train. 5th wheel on tractor and another one at the rear of the 1st trailer (Commonly called the 'lead'), It is mounted just about the center of the last axle on the lead.
keep them both well greased and you can put them almost anywhere, backwards. Just like pushing a chain is how one guy described backing up trains.They are easy, once you get used to them.
They were full air ride, air disks on all 5 axles and a stability control system called 'anti-rollover'. It works good when you are running with a part load. 50% or less.

Bill, I watched a fascinating YT on Australian road trains with four trailers. The first trailer was always about a third shorter than the last three.
I'm guessing that makes whole rig turn better/tighter?

I don't know. The only trains I've hauled in 50 years of trucking have all been long lead and shorter pup. I've seen guys from Winnipeg with the short lead and longer pup. But one would think that the tail would be wagging the dog. We in Ontario never want the pup heavier than the pup. The extra weight on the pup gives you the sensation of being pushed all over the road. NOT fun.

good morning all
74 going to 94 today and a/c is already working.

no plans for today other than a family picnic at 4pm nearby, my "step" family of
father's second wife. One will be in from Hawaii, always good to see her. My stepbrother in Colorado,
the one I'm stopping at on my rv trip, was also coming but got to St Louis in his rv and turned around.
So many things had broken down on it that I think his wife said take me home with their two dogs.

remarkably it was an Airstream, the most reliable/best made rv camping trailer out there, and he is/was a retired
master machinist whose handle was Bugattidoc. The guy can build million dollar engines from scratch, and he gave up on his rv.
He listed all the things that were breaking, two bad tires, rv water pump, etc etc. All fixable stuff. So I'm not sure of the whole story here.
He said he drove 2300 miles for nothing. Maybe I'll hear the rest of the story this afternoon from a sibling.
not a good omen for me....he has more mechanical ability in his pinkie than I have.

I've learned from boating on an older boat you have to go through every system and check, and focus on the trip killers.
now I wonder if my five year old truck with 41k miles should have its wheel bearings repacked. ?? probably not

Buppies, so sorry you had a bad day. You have enough on your hands already. Stay strong. Feel better and watch your meds.

Hope you all have a nice weekend. We all need to drink a lot of water.

Good Morning
72° on its way to 93 today.
Roofers were a no show yesterday, supposed to come this morning.
I did get the garage ready for the framers, trimmed a pine tree back that was over the roof, Makita pole saw worked great.
Kept the new concrete watered, continued to clean up in the shop.
Made some tweaks to the geothermal heat pump in the house to use less water by increasing the Delta T of the water passing through it to 15°. (It’s an open loop system that returns the water into a second well). It was previously at 10°, the new setting reduced the flow by 50%.

Good morning, the low is 59 and going to 70°F. Wind NE 5 mph. 40% chance of showers. Raining now.
The pussycats wont like it. They don't like get
feet wet.
My SMV sign installation job is on 'hold' until Monday. Forecast rain all today and tomorrow, but only 40% chance. Nothing like covering your basses.

Back down the you tube rabbit hole.

Have a safe day all
