Good morning!!!!

Scrambler, describe what a wine bottle wall is.

I will be using a lot of Wine Bottles...empty of course, I drill a 5/8 or 3/4 inch hole in the bottoms, stack the bottle maybe on a rebar, and put a lot of the stacked bottle together... that in turn makes a wall. So I decided to call it a "Wine Bottle Wall" !
When I finish I will post a picture but don't hold your breath, it isn't on the top of the Honey-Do List..

Right now I hav about 30 each of the same Blue Bottles and the same Amber Bottles. I am going to try to alternate the staked lengths, blue, amber, blue, amber. From there I will see what other colored bottles I can get, chances are that will be the only colors since I have a Winery suppling them.

Next project will a Wine Bottle Chandelier.

Hope that explains what I ma doing.

Nice cover! Thanks for the pics.

No one installs them near me when i looked.

Can it be screened?

Yes,you can do a lot of things.

1) Full Screens
2) Electrically operated Screens
3) Sun Shades
4) Electrically operated Shades
5) Solid Panels, I don't think they are electrically operated but why not roll ups.

nice ride down to shrimp docks, can't believe for second time bag holding shrimp leaked, first time I stunk up my truck for almost two years,
now it leaked on the plastic mat in my Audi. Stupid me forgot to bring a cooler, again. Scrubbed the wet area down with bleach solution and took whole mat out and put it on driveway to bake in the sun tomorrow. Gosh that smell is bad, even though the shrimp have no odor at all.

Went to seafood restaurant for dinner, ok dinner, no waitress service, loud on my echoey ears, kind of glad to get out of there.

Scrambler, I started humming 99 bottles of beer on the wall...

Good evening all. 74F for the start, cloudy, moderate south wind. Clouds were breaking up at dawn, wind got to 15to 20 mph and high temp was 90F HI 97. Drive to Greenville for 8AM ride, 46 miles in 3 hours moving time, 35 min. stop time. Lunch at Johnson Street Smokehouse (BBQ) then drive home, nap dinner at VFD fundraiser.
Eric nice looking building, quite the difference from the before pic!
Roy hope you get the dentures worked out quickly.
Drew the blade drive belt by contrast looks new. I have a spare belt for the blade drive but will wait as it is a $40 belt
Don nice finish, the no talking part sounds a bit drastic and reduces the fun.
RNG sounds like you are on the right track, hope that takes care of the CEL.
Jay like the pics of the lake hope it is close.
Drew sorry about the Audi hope the small abatement works.
prayers for all.

LoL, By the time I get through 100 bottles of wine I won't be able to build anything.

Thank God I live in an area with a few Wineries, they don't reuse their bottles and it cost to get rid of them so most are willing to give them away.

The problem is finding a Winery that has the colors you want to use ! I have one that has the Blue Bottles and I like their wine, the Amber bottles are from a Winery where my daughter does their Web Site... so I am guessing both availability and the Wife liking Blue and Amber, the wall color is set.

Anyway, I am gathering the bottles, it will take sometime to get to the project.


I installed two LED Flood Lights, one of them worked out of the box, the other was a little finicky, I had to redo the connections, fool with the Dusk to Dawn Photo Cell, but it came on and worked for one night, that's all folks, it is coming down tomorrow, hope they have another on the shelf. I purchased them at Lowes and they Shelf Stock is low... worried they might be going out of business.

Finished mowing the field with the ZT,. Wind blowing wrong, got covered, and since i was covered, mowed the yard also.

Walked up stairs for first time since GBS, using my better left leg for each step. Actually did it twice. Still scooting down.
Getting better each day, but noticed im walking with left foot turned out. Need to work on that.

Forgot all about trying to get BH on Kubota.

Looks like TBN is finally back on line.

Drank my 2 cups of coffee this morning. Friend reminded me that today was the local car show. After walking it twice I came home and took a nap. Haven't done anything else today.

Haven’t been able to log on TBN all morning. Technical issues I guess.
Did get some brush hogging in this am. Another area done.

Also got my basic sunshade frame installed.

Really pleased so far. Height is good, non factor getting in and out.
Now to uninstall, get joints welded, prepped and painted, reinstalled with top.

Had to quit brush hogging after going to far area and getting too close to edge. Dirt there very soft. Was afraid if I tried to drive out it would have slipped over the edge. Probably 50plus ft very steep bank down to the stream. Maybe the guava would have broken fall, maybe not.

Hoofed it to the house. Got tow gear, truck, and wife. Had to put Tundra in low low 4wd. Angle was critical not to loose the front over the edge. Got a slight tongue lashing, but wife did a great job driving truck with me perched (standing) on tractor.



Too much excitement - done for the day.

Checking In-

Yesterday’s beautiful weather repeated itself again today. Unfortunately I am/was in no condition to enjoy it and/or do anything other than nap in my easy chair heated by the afternoon sun. I’ve been attributing my dry cough to the second air tube needed/used during my endoscopy last week. I believe now that I have an upper respiratory illness trying to morph “south.” It was a bad night with the night sweats. I woke up early in the AM shaking, freezing cold, and drenched in sweat. I have not been unable to maintain body temperature today even with the temperature in the low 80ºF’s. I’ve been wearing sweats and under a blanket all day.
. The OTC expectorant cough medicine is working so far…. My lungs still seem to be clear; my bronchial tubes are clearing. I have not used a steroidal aerosol inhaler in + 5 years. I hope that I do not need one tomorrow or a nebulizer at some “Urgent Care” Center. Once they see my medical history with BOOP they usually freak out and it takes me an excessive amount of time SOB to get the meds that I need while they contact the covering pulmonologist to approve exactly what I am requesting. It’s all in my medical records. I’ve BTDT too many times. I never run fevers with this stuff. I need to find my finger oximeter.

I’ll hopefully be in a better state tomorrow.

David I sm happy to read that you and Sophie were able to extricate your tractor w/o too much excitement.

My + thoughts and prayers/
