Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 4:45AM. Areas of patchy fog early. Cloudy with periods of rain. High near 50F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall possibly over one inch.
Looks like we've got another front coming through starting around 8 AM, and it'll be fairly wet out for a few hours after that. Then scattered showers for the rest of the day. The driveway is starting to get some ruts, and after this week's run of storms, it might be time to get the box blade after it again.
I think that paver video convinced me that concrete is the way to go. Except at the side of the house where the sprinkler lines run to the back yard; don't want to have to bust up a sidewalk to fix a leak.
Hope the rest of the crop does as well as those onions, Drew. Yer gonna be a busy boy this spring and summer!:laughing:
Thank you all for sharing the World War service stories. Those wars were massive, but at the end of the day, it all came down to the actions of individuals, and those stories bring that home. I had two uncles that served in WWII, one in each theater, but neither would talk about their experiences.
My dad had hearing problems and was 4F, but he worked at Curtiss Wright during the war. Stayed on through the transitions to North American, then Rockwell, made a career of it.
Made good progress on the alternator/ignition install on the old motorcycle yesterday. Didn't like the bracket they provided for the trigger unit and rectifier, so made another from some aluminum sheet I had on hand. Was just gonna polish it up with a Scotchbrite pad, but it was badly scratched, and ended up painting it at the end of the day. It was too cold for paint outside, to I hung the panel on the back porch, shot it, and brought it back in to dry. Did the same for the second coat, but found the fog had rolled back in, and had a little competition going between the paint and the fog. Paint won out, and I'll install the panel today, which pretty much finishes up the job. Then on to more wiring. Need to take a look at the steering bearing adjustment as well, and figure out if they're the original ball bearings, or if John had changed them over to more modern tapered rollers. If the latter, I already know they're too loose and that will cause a wobble going down the road.
Hang in there gang, Friday's comin'!
