I bought this original light off a friends Farmall Cub he's parting out and took it apart and got it cleaned and primed. I cleaned the glass with over cleaner and a toothbrush, it works wonders on glass fuel bowls as well.

I made the coffee and took the trash up to the road. Came back and drank a cup of coffee while I watched some news on TV. Don't know what I'll do the rest of the day sept piddle around on the Internet probably. I snow plowed yesterday so I have today off to do whatever I please or nothing at all. Retired life is like that.

 

[PJSprog]

I irritated some of my co-workers today. I'm a Quality Jerk. It's what I do.

 

[mapper]

That's right!

Man told me when I was a teenager "show me someone who doesn't mess something up and I will show you someone who isn't doing anything". Lot of truth in that!

The only thing wrong to do after a mistake is to not learn from it!

Got up at sunrise, gave the cat his morning pill, rode the lifecycle for fifty minutes while watching "The Grand Tour". Took a shower, then had coffee and breakfast with the wife. Drank more coffee, went out to the shop and fired up the stove, carried one of the new stair railings down to the house so wife could see how well the stain matches. Wife changes plans on railings wants the new railings on the upper flight and older railings on lower stairs. Back out to shop, realize that there is not quite enough new railing stock to make the returns at the rail ends (was enough for original plan, bottom staircase is shorter than top). Run to lumber yard and get more railing stock. Back out in shop cut the railings to length and cut the returns. Drill pocket holes to fasten returns on railings. Find that the pockets are a bit longer than my plug cutter. Wife needs stuff from wally world and a late lunch at local Chinese restaurant, not a problem restaurant is a block from lumber yard can pick up dowel to plug pocket holes. Run into neighbor at restaurant, nice chat and good food, hit lumber yard and wally world. Back home cut plugs and glue them in. Back in house checking and posting on TBN.
Glad I am retired, don't have time for a job now:laughing:

Spoke with a German supplier and an Ecuadorian customer. Neither even mentioned how things may be changing due to our new President, which surprised me somewhat.

Annual callup on the portal gamma monitors and the whole body beta monitors. Inspection, check parameters , update test source list to compensate for decay of test sources. Mount a calibration source at an exact distance from each of the 23 detectors on the Camberra whole body and the eight detectors on the Camberra portal monitor. Check eaxh detector's efficiency and replace if low. Set Voltage for the gamma detectors for highest efficnecy and figure of merit. Function test with a weak test source . Fill out 30+ pages of proceedure for each monitor. Download data from the past year onto a USB fob.

Went to the powdercoaters and picked up the press wheels for this MF #39 corn planter I been working on.

Coffee, coffee and more coffee, breakfast then off to the dump. Down to the town south of me for some more groceries and then back to the house and putz around on the 'net for the rest of the day and I am still at it. Glad I am semi-retired and only work in the summer.

 

[PILOON]

LOL, made coffee, went on TBN, drank coffee and decided I should eat at about 10:30 so made a couple of toasts.
At 11:30 I decided I should put some clothes on and had a bowl of soup and a sandwich.
LOL, call me retired!
At about 2:00 PM I decided that I'd visit a buddy for a coffee and we debated the world events.
Then came home and checked emails and TBN.
Did I mention that I actually believe that I'm retired!

I have an identical rear light on my Farmall C. Something has rubbed against the red lens and fogged it in one spot. Any ideas on how to polish it back to a shiny surface?

Automotive rubbing compound as sold at local auto parts followed by some paste wax.

I don't have any idea how to polish it back to shiny, whatever you do to it though don't get it to hot or it could mess it up. Be careful with it as well, I hear the originals are pretty rare.

Had the best day in whenever Tuesday. Helped oldest daughter take her 18 month old to her heart doctor. She was born with three holes in her heart. The nurses were all smiles and the little one was very cooperative. They ran all the tests and the doctor came in all smiles. He was literally jumping up and down he was so happy, and I mean the doctor. Her heart murmur is gone. Two of the holes have completely closed. And the third one, between the upper chambers of her heart which we could actually see on slow motion ultrasound, is so small he said that it was insignificant and would probably be gone in three years when he wanted to see her again. I have worried about this little one so much but she is so active and full of life I knew the holes were not slowing her down. After ever test, whenever she was scared or needed comfort, she held her arms out and came to granddaddy for protection.

Then yesterday I went with wife to babysit my other daughter's sick 3-1/2 month son. I played with him when he was in a good mood. Got him to laugh and jabber at me. Gave him back to wife when he started crying so she could change him, feed him, and get him down for a nap. Repeat process every two hours for eight hours.

I am finding that being a full time granddaddy can sometimes be a full time job.

To me THAT is what retirement is all about!

That's good to hear. My 3 1/2 yo was born with a vsd hole. We hoped and worried every day, then he had open heart surgery to fix it at 6 mos old. He had more energy immediately following the surgery, his heart working so hard wore him out before. We had a great team-cardiologist, heart surgeon and the guy that sewed up his chest. He did such a good job you can hardly see his scar.

Thought of doing some work last week. Haven't got to it yet...

With any luck I'll be able to say that in a few years...... But for now and today, this is my 30th year of welding and building weapons of mass destruction, maybe you'll get your money's worth, but according to CBS news maybe you won't, either way the 3rd one is well under construction with a million miles of Navy required pristine welds.>>>>> The war machine fit for a superhero - YouTube
