Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! Yesterday was another Summer day with temps reaching 78˚ sunny, and the mail carriers were wearing shorts again. A repeat day today. 48˚ before sunrise.

Riptides quote: " . . . and the secret room in the hospital just ran out of coffee cups."

So, on the subject of coffee cups, Mine looks like the traditional white cup but the top edge or lip is fatter and easier and more comfortable to drink. I call it my Fat Lip Bodum. I can't find any image on the internet so I'll snap a pic with my phone.

What is the anomoty of your good morning coffee cup? Is it 8 or 16 oz, insulated or glass, color, any special features?

Good morning coffee cup.


We might need to offer an official TBN good morning cup, If we all can agree on the specific requirements and lettering.

21 pulls! I’d already have drawn down in it with my shotgun!
Shortest daylight but sunset has already gotten 3-4 minutes later. Sunrise will continue to get later until early January.

3 pulls and I pull the the air cleaner and pour some raw gas in carburetor. Some engines are hard to get at carburetor. Remove spark plug and pour a small cap of gas into plug hole. Replace spark plug. Starts every time unless there is something wrong with ignition.

My wife is now getting curious about the IP...maybe a gift for an upcoming event rather than Christmas.

Split firewood yesterday for a little while...first time using the splitter this season...took only 21 pulls to get it going...which is good for this engine.

Why of course, open that IP and get-er-going!
Do you use Seafoam to help start difficult motors? I would have trashed several motors already if Seafoam were not available.

Summer day for MI. Those temperatures are Spring/Fall in TX's.
My cups. Left to right. Broken cup delivered by UPS yesterday. Everyday 20 oz cup at computer. New Contigo 20 oz cup. Can tip it over and it does not spill. Amazon had them for less than $10 a couple weeks ago. There is a Yeti cup in one of the cabinets. But it is too small. Requires to many trip to keep full.

I don't have a picture of mine, nor do I remember how long I've had it, but the only thing I've used for a coffee cup in a long time is my genuine dark blue Tractorbynet coffee mug that holds just about 12 oz (biggest button on the Keurig coffee maker). It has the TBN logo above the word "TractorByNet" in large yellow print, and just below that word is "The World's Largest Tractor Community" in smaller print.

And I just got my 3rd cup for this morning. 45 degrees going for a high of 74 today.

1 going to 10 and a 40% chance of flurries. Wind N 6 mph.

For the garage to install my flare cost me a whole $53.oo So the total for the whole incident was $250.oo (flare) + $25.oo ( light) + $53.oo (labour). I have a $500.oo deductible policy and the reportable damages were under $1,000.oo. So just fix it and carry on.

Don't you think it is time for a tune up? :2cents:

I remember that cup. I have lost mine in the 3 moves, or I might have left it at work when I retired. ???? I did not drink coffee until the morning thread started so I did not use it. It's got to be a collector's item now!

Does anyone have a link to a calculator for the latest passed version of the new tax law?

Yes, I started using Seafoam, and that reduced it from the 200+ pulls it took the first time after not running all summer. I've tried pulling the spark plug, removing the air cleaner, etc. and just account for the many pulls as part of my daily workout on the days it is hard to start.
