Good morning!!!!

Good morning all.

46F and partly sunny @ 08:30, supposedly heading up to a high of 67F today. Doesn't look like they are calling for any rain tho' ...

Will probably spend most of the day working in the basement, hope to get the dust/dirt cleaned out of 100G Long and then fill it to leak test ... among other things.

26F here and they say 39 and rain/snow/ice pellets. Wind SE 8mph. visibility 1 mile. We got about 1/2" of snow overnight.

My new rubber/sheep/wellington boots came yesterday. Size EU 45/ 12 US. They got a toe cap so should be legal for work, more or less. I used to wear sneakers when I hauled and sprayed calcium chloride, mainly because they wouldn't shrink/pixie toe overnight if you got some on them. Leather boots today will fit you like a glove, wet them with a little calc chloride and tomorrow you wont be able to get them on at all. I am NOT going to ruin a $200.oo+ pair of boots just to spray that stuff. Hence the sheep boots.

Whatever you do, never let your buddies see a picture of you in "sheep boots". They will never let you forget it......��

Good morning! 67˚ clouding up, should rain by noon. Today's project - Hustler Fastrak 75 hr. maintenance.

1. Replace hydraulic filters and fluid
2. Motor oil and filter change
3. Install new air filter
4. Install new blades

Recommendation by Hustler for warm Texas is that both the engine oil and hydraulic oil should be 20W50. That makes it easy.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 57° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 77° with lots of sun. Back to patio time. Yesterday was a little of everything. Sleet/hail, rain, wind and sun. While warming to 72°. Did not stop wife from her shopping.
Don, which vehicle did the belt come from?
David S, what a pain dealing with internet. At the RV resort internet access is almost none. To many people and not enough bad width. So I live on 16gb from AT&T. With LTE it works well. When I need to do a large download I go to my sisters.
Good Morning All.

Ron, you might want to check out the AT&t unlimited data plans -2 phones, $80 mo. after taxes.

55°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 75° today. It warmed overnight. Never did get out of the 40s yesterday. Expecting some potentially strong storms overnight tonight.

Electrician finally finished his work yesterday on the upstairs portion of the house. Wife paid him and sent him on his way. Have I mentioned that I'm not going to miss that guy?

I've been called a sheep shagger before. My response is that at least I am getting 'some'. lol

That reminds me of a joke:

A Cowboy said to a Rancher, "Is that your dog?" The Rancher replied, "Yup." "Mind if I talk to him?" "Durn fool, don't you know dogs don't talk?" The Cowboy replied, "So what's the harm? May I?" "Go right ahead."

The Cowboy said to the dog, "Howdy!" The dog replied, "Hello." The Rancher's eyes pop wide. The Cowboy continued, "Is this your master?" "Yep, he sure is." "Does he treat you alright?" "Sure does. Every day he takes me for a walk, he feeds me all kinds of great food, and once a week he takes me to the lake to play."

Rancher was dumbfounded. The Cowboy said to the Rancher, "Is that your horse over there?" "Yes." "Do you mind if I talk to him?" The Rancher replied, "I know the dog spoke to you, but I know for a fact that horses can't talk." "Well, then what would it hurt?" "Go right ahead." The Cowboy said to the horse, "Hello." The horse replied, "Hello." The Rancher stood there with his jaw wide open. The Cowboy asked, "Is that your owner?" "Yup, sure is." "He treat you okay?" "Sure, he rides me every day, brushes me down at the end of the day, and he keeps me in the barn away from the elements." "Sounds good."

The Cowboy then asked the Rancher, "Are those your sheep over there?" The Rancher is horrified and stammers, "Them sheep out there, they're nothing but a bunch of liars!"

Currently I'm looking here: 4GAS(R) Internet |1-815-25-33 | Rural Internet

If I understand correctly, I'll be able to get a cellular data connection and extend with my own wifi to things like my wx station and Outback, get unlimited data for about $83/mon. No contract. This may prove an acceptable interim, if not long term solution. Who know what technology is just beyond the horizon.

Just curious, have you tried applying with 4GAS? Usually services like this offer an on line, no obligation form that will tell you instantly if you are within the coverage area. This one seems to need a lot more info, and requires a follow up contact, which seems odd.

That cheered me up no end. If only human's dark sides could be restricted to where to hide an electric motor and a few batteries.

Apparently someone has figured out how to put an electric motor and battery inside a standard bicycle frame so that it is nearly undetectable. And apparently some teams in the Tour de France have already used them to cheat. The dark side knows no bounds, Eric.
