The SS United States is somewhere off the Delaware coast now, being towed to the Gulf where it will be sunk and then entertain fish and divers
for years to come.
I thought it was interesting they decided to close traffic on the two largest bridges to avoid looky lou accidents.
for over ten years I would take my boats down the Delaware River to tour the sights of Philadelphia.
And the SS United States was always part of that, you could get up pretty close with your boat.
The SS United States was on PA side, and across the River was the USS NJ.
the battleship New Jersey was simply awesome to see from the water.

good they moved this ship out before it sank at the dock.
I remember when the stacks really were red
then it became a floating pigeon poop rusty mess

The tree damage is just one section there is more across the front road side. Going up the mountain behind the house some very large trees down and there huge popular lost some limbs. Tree experts say Civil War era tree.

Low temperature today of 14.2 presently 19.3 maybe 40 today.

There will be at least one more cold blast with snow possibly. Spring probably stormy not seeing much on summer yet.

Nice work Ron, interesting Spike and makes sense.

Throttle sensor on ram acting up but DOF cleaning is getting back to normal instead of 3 times cleaning per tank of fuel. Archoil appears to be the real deal.

Not sure what we will do today still hobbled by psychotic nerve but getting better.

Interesting about George Washington wngsprd.

Morning Thomas

Morning mostly

Safe travels RNG

Thanks BEF

Prayers for all our Country

Good Morning
21° and the sun is out. High of 37 predicted.

Yesterday started in the tractor clearing an inch of snow off the lane. It was worthwhile, it was bare dry blacktop by lunchtime. Cleaned up around the shop with a pusher type shovel, it was faster than moving all the vehicles and using the tractor.
Did some puttering in the shop, sorted out a mystery of change gears on my lathe. The parts list showed a part number and a 48t gear, but Jet showed that part number as a 42t. I was on the phone with them for an hour, but they were very helpful. The parts person actually searched their system for a 48t gear for ant application, then physically measured it to make sure it was dimensionally the same as the change gear I was looking for. Turns out they had the gear that I needed, but it was for a different application in their system.

Did some cleaning and moving to be ready for when the DRO arrives this coming week, and I have to move the lathe.

Not much else happened, good night with the band, we figured out what we wanted to play next weekend, we are booked for a private party at a winery. Worked through some arrangements for a few things, we’re ready to go.

Not sure about today, might fly to lunch, might be in the shop, probably have to load grain into the barn, we will see what the day brings.

Got a lot of use out of a pair of Roll-a-Lifts and a toe jack this last move, Paul, working mostly single handedly. This pry bar was very handy for the first and last inch. What's your rig for moving heavy equipment?

I don't know, been a while.
but three largest marinas on Chesapeake, I've been in all of them, are
Herrington Harbour below Annapolis
Chesapeake Harbour in Annapolis
Mears Point Marina in Kent Narrows near rt 50 bridge

took some comfort food to my sick SIL and then picked up half a peck of apples at local orchard.
they are sweet and ok, but clearly showing their age. I think the other local orchard might have a better keeping variety.
gets to be slim pickings this time of year

Herrington Harbor that’s it

Thanks Drew

I use Johnson bars and pipes a lot. I have multiple overhead hoists on trollies as well, but they don’t reach everywhere, including where the lathe is.
The arsenal includes hi lift jacks, porta powers, pallet jack, hydraulic shop crane, heavy duty dollies, and a good selection of prybars.

Morning all, 29 going to 40 and sunny.
Got over to HD and picked up the last trim piece for the garage.

I still hand file my saw chains, works for me and easy to see if the rakers need a trim

Have a few trees a little ways off the drive which are still in the process of coming down.
Wish they would hurry some.

65°F and no rain

Pretty good day yesterday. Got a 2nd tilling of Canada Dave’s garden area. He’s been adding amendments and compost from the mushroom farm

I got 1st tilling of the 2nd Laupāhoehoe area done. This was the area I broke the lift rod. Significantly more rocks in this area. Now move to Hilo end.

Neighbor coming down this morning to attempt separating a Scag axel.

George, my concrete guys turns 90 on Wed. A small celebration for him this afternoon at our local park.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
