Good Morning Steve,

Scotty you need a USB Cable from radio to PC. I believe it is an A to B cable for Icom.

Thanks Steve, it’s on order

Drew, there was a few metric sockets and wrenches. At least one 10 mm. My neighbor took those. I took a couple nice sets of combination wrenches and a few other tools. There were a lot of specialty tools for engine rebuilding that I already have.

good morning, 55 going to 63 a bit warmer

Brought in firewood and kindlings stored in the copper tub near the stove. Running the mini split on heat for now. No need for the big furnace in the basement

Sorted the sanding tools and supplies. Should have sanded the plywood sheet on the stone wall before hanging it up
Looking for paint left overs but not finding much that has not hardened.
I taking the welding shop project as a challenge to use what I already have on hand

Made a favorite snack for wife. Special Brie cheese with a square of 85 percent dark chocolate and a few Raspberries

Good morning TBN!!
58 this morning. Supposed to be about 70 with low humidity. My kind of day!

I got the foot pad finished on my back up 4 wheeler. Tore a panel off to start looking at the electrics but decided to wait till late in the week. May ride them today.
My son should be here From Fla. in a few hours to celebrate his Birthday. He will only be hare a few hours since it actually a work trip.
Got my new range extender in. Comp. hooked to it right away on it's own. Then got one of my doors connected. Then I spent most of the afternoon getting the second one connected which is puzzling because it's the same opener. Got my cameras and smart plug connected.
Broke down and ordered a new computer. I wouldn't be able to stay off the net with the old one and don't need any security issues. That will probably be a few hours to set it up when it gets here on Wed.
Agenda today will be to do whatever my son wants to do.

Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

I have been looking for this Tractor Plaque that I got at the first Texas get-together we attended in spring of 2005 at Jinman’s place. Very good memories.
Found it while cleaning one of the horse stalls in the animal barn.
Not sure who made them. Maybe TXdon or others remember.
I will be moving it into my back porch.

Found a Eddie Walker post about the memory stone:

wroughtn_harv memory stone

Mr. wroughtn_harv was generous enough to create some memory stones for all of us who attended the Norte Tejas get together. After about two seconds of thought, I realized that I wanted to mount mine to the side of my "Container Barn." A project I posted about earlier here in the projects...

Morning all, 54 going to 57 and rain.
Yesterday I got out and cleaned up most of the scrap wood around the splitter.
Still a few larger pieces to move, but now I can get the rounds to the splitter.
I was getting completely swarmed by the black gnats and that made it less fun.

The off to pick up some apples and pears at solebury orchards, and home to chill, very tired.

Lots of wolf spiders in the cleanup pile, they just wandered off to hunt some snacks. Must have been a new brood.

Be well, Happy Columbus day.

The mess

What was in there (not the 2 rounds though)

Ready to use the tractor to level it out a bit

My stack of logs to use, most are at least 8-9 feet long, plus a lot of already cut rounds.

I need to make a bracket for mine. To mount it inside back porch. Rain and freezing will break sandstone to pieces if left outside in the winter. Another item on my To- Do list.

Thank you Mohammad for restoring my post count.

Good Morning
53° grey, damp and misting outside with a high in the middle 50’s and continued gloom forecast.

Accomplishments for the weekend were to clean up and hang up RC planes, some have been dormant for 25 years or more. Kept the 3D printer running continuously making hangers.

Took the drone up to take some pictures of the place. Have to do it again when it’s sunny.
Made a Costco run with wife, son and DIL, pretty much filled the car, got some nice steaks I grilled in the rain for dinner.

3D printed holder for Knipex pliers, a ratchet for 1/4” bits and some slots for Swiss Army knife toothpick and tweezers. This is hopefully going to be my ultimate pocket multi tool. It’s lighter than the Gerber it replaces, and more useable, higher quality tools.

Here’s the whole “compound”

Here’s the Old Folks Home and my shop

I think today will be a repeat of the weekend, lots of messes to remediate in the shop, and it seems like every one creates a project of its own in the process.

Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 56° with a smattering of rain, looks like more forecasted for later this week. Glad I re-covered the log splitter for the time being.

Weekend ended up being backwards. Realtor called on Friday, his son was in the hospital in Philly, asked if we could reschedule for Sunday. I'm not heartless, so of course I agreed, instructed him that I would miss 100 houses if it meant taking a father away from a sick son.

Then Grandma called, she and my aunt went up to the cabin to shut down for the winter, blow down the water and generally close up. She's also got a doctors appointment since she managed to overextend her hip trying to climb up on a beam after her other grandson. Said she heard something snap and can't walk more than 15 minutes. Of course, this happened back in August and she's only dealing with it now...grrr....

Long and short of it, she wasn't bringing the brush out. I said that's fine. So I ended up doing a bit of tractoring around since I hadn't used the Kubota since my trip. Mashed down some of the goldenrod that was extending into the trails. Also sharpened and fired up both saws.

Sunday, a long drive up north to look at the house. Problem is that what I would classify as Grandma dwellings are coming available and just aren't worth what their children think, especially without gas rights. Actually another one came on the market that struck my interest more. It's closer to a major interstate, so my commute would be more direct. Girlfriend likes both, so the decision is up to me. Realtor's son is also doing better, the Doctors finally have an idea and they're getting him on the right track.

Oh, I also get the Lipoma sliced off this Thursday or else I'm taking it off with a penknife myself. They double booked last Thursday. So sorry. I should have charged them a $250 rescheduling fee.

Parents rode out the storm down south. Ocean was angry but the skies were clear. They'll probably return on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Otherwise, just the usual Monday craziness here. Another trip for work tomorrow and then hopefully a break from all this travel.

Y'all Stay Safe out there and Be well!
Prayers for all Ailing and Recovering!

Was just getting the trash and recyclables together for a dump run when I realized it's closed for Columbus Day. Glad I didn't load it all into the truck.

 

[Engineer42]

friend just emailed me saying my rv site at the Delaware Shore campground was now shut down and under water.
My timing was pretty good.

It's a little rammy down that way Drew. But I've seen worse.

Lol, I was planning to send you the data for printing just such a thing. I saw it over the weekend and thought you may like it. Yours looks good.

I think I would have put the ratchet in from the top like that. Less chance of it getting loose
Looks great though!

Did almost the same but I went to dump sign on gate CLOSED 25 mile round trip ride.

There is recourse, there are other sites.

Was watching a video clip from the Kilham Bear Center NH. Amazing work rehabilitating Black Bears. Thinking Of Thomas and his bears

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Popgadget, was going to ask what the topo map was of, before I noticed it was a window. On my phone screen, looked more like a topo map. n the computer, not as much.

“Who ever heard of a dump closed on Columbus Day? But with tears in our eyes, we drove around looking for another place to dump our garbage. “

Don’t worry, officer Obie has passed on, don’t worry about those 27 8x10 full color glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one describing what it means, to be used as evidence against you.
