Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 55F @ 5:15AM. Areas of fog early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High near 75F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Take a look at the work being done at Blacktail Studio, Ken. He publishes Reels on Facebook pretty frequently detailing the finishes he uses on his huge table tops, and he uses a ton of two part epoxy.

Hope the RV cylinder is truly fixed, Drew.

Got the grass cut yesterday, and moved the metal lathe to what I hope will be its permanent position. First step in shuffling tools around to get up and running again. More shuffling today.

Here’s a picture I took in Omaha over 20 years ago. I took some people out there to meet with the Union Pacific about locomotive parts.

Drew, if I took the tire chains off the Kioti, I could drive that into town on the roads legally. It isn't worth it for the aggravation factor of putting the chains back on in fall. Another month or so and I should be back on the road with a license. I hope.

txdon, if I lived there, the hospital stay would have bankrupted me. I do understand what you are saying.
My little piece of heaven costs me $1200.oo/year in property taxes for a 1456 sq.ft. house with a full unfinished basement on 5 acres of well treed property. I am a mile and a half outside of town where there is 1 bank, 1 gas station, 1 liquor store and 1 beer store as well as a C-store and a grocery store AND a pot shop. All the essentials are covered.
There is also a medical center with two quacks and a vampire comes twice a month.

Water softener salt tank is overflowing again. Time to take the plate apart and check the gasket.

Son got home about 6 am from his big adventure. I was up till after 3 am.
More sleep planned today. Might do Costco run, but low probability.

I'm not cutting the grass today, it is raining out. Beryl is here. Just rain so far, wind ENE 11 mph.

Morning all, 80 going to 94 and cloudy, no end in sight to the heat.
Did get a coat of varnish on the back of the table yesterday.

RNG, I will look at the videos in a bit. He makes some wild tables.

Might just do a coat of varnish on the top and call it a day.
The logistics to do the resin are quite complex. Maybe when I have more time.
The resin I have is supposedly good for 6 months. Would need to build a conforming mold to go under and around the table, 7' long and 24" wide. Not enough time to do this before it needs to be ready.

With no rain, will need to do some watering. They are calling for rain tonight, but then again they called for rain last night, and we just got humidity.

Drew - glad they could fix the cylinder

BEF - hope you find out what is wrong with the water softener. Sounds like son had fun on his big adventure. I have done some road ralleys, sounds similar.

Be well,

New guard frog at front door taking care of bugs.

Dramatic sky last night.

back with my reconditioned rv leveling unit.
I had to chuckle.
When Popgadget first took it apart, one of the little push on metal plugs
for the orifices shot out and landed in parts unknown.
not an important part so Paul put a brass machined plug in, to make sure no drips.

the repair shop handed me the brass plug and said this doesn't go with this, and had put
the right little plug in. Popgadget of course found the original plug.
If I can remember, will return the brass machine bolt to him.
They did cluck at me telling me it was the wrong thread.
worked just fine for me

I asked what broke and the guy who worked on it was not there.
they said they reconditioned it but didn't show any parts. ???
I wish they had shown the o-ring part, so it's still a puzzle.

going to dump a five gallon can of one year old premium gas from my disaster
gas can, the nice military one, and put that in rv along with two cans of Sea Foam.
Then will go get the car filled and the can filled.

C'mon rain
C'mon rain
