Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 54° with light rain this morning. Heading to 67° with rain ending after lunch. Another 1" of rain since yesterday morning. Good thing I have good drainage around my place. Need to get some grocery shopping done this morning.

Thomas, enjoy that last slow roll home. :cloud9:

Drew I would be calling FedEX. The smell of the paint is what made driver do it. Porch look great. Now the old Kindle will show up.

David, I still have my camera/monitor setting on the shelf. Will be interest what mounting you use.

Don, nice truck. Hope it has a good charger for iPhone. :thumbsup:

CWB, good fall colors. Little white color would be better.

Buckeye, 400 slides scanned. What are you using? I have boxes of them to do.

RNG, waiting for pictures of you latest projects.

Prayers for all in need.

Good Morning All.

Good morning. It's 70° here and forecast back to 94° this afternoon. Four more days of mid 90's then high 80's for a few days ..... maybe.

Drew ... you need to make a sign "wet paint / pintura húmeda". . We've had the same UPS guy, here at the ranch, he even has our gate code for deliveries when we're away. Rarely see a FedEx driver, except for deliveries from Sam's Club. Always seems to be different guys. Your porch look great!

Thomas ... have a great last slow roll then join the rest of us in retirement.

BEF .... there are a couple of services that will convert pictures, slides, beta video, VHS video, to digital format for you.

Jay ..... sorry you had issues with the idiots over on FP. If you upset them, they'll take things you say here and try to use as insults over there. It's always the same ones, you can count on it. If you play over there .... make sure you put on your big boy pants. One of them ... posts here occasionally, another used to, and the others just lurk over here. I just treat it as "sport".

Don .... time jack up your new Ranger and get some 33's on it.

Hope everyone has an excellent Friday Eve.

Prayers to all.

38 right now...high in the lower 50's and a bit of rain.

Audit went good...2 pretty insignificant minor findings. I'm off for a couple mental health days...so, no work until next Monday

Good morning! The last "Slow roll to work day" for Thomas! Yeah! Time to start and adjust to the next phase of life - enjoying every day to the fullest.

Temps mid 70s to mid 90s and repeat, repeat repeat . . . .

The trailblazing group really liked my snake boots because they scared off all the snakes - no sightings in the waist high vegetation. We continue again Friday, today I figure out everything on the truck.

Rick not jacking up the Ranger (until it's out of warranty). It does not have a fast charging pad I have to plug it in to one of the 4 USB ports, it's suppose to have a 110 plug somewhere, still looking. Might need to dry my hair on the way to the garden.:laughing:

Congratulations Thomas hope your day goes well and retirement as well

37F now upper 50's for high.

Leaves starting fall more and more now more so with wind and rain combo.
After work talk trimmer for much needed walk around front field spruce trees.
Today I'll finish my goodbyes hand in keys passwords remove,around noon drive off campus one last time.
E muffin feed little critters slow...slow roll to work for the last time.

Enjoy the day all.

The 120 volt outlet may be on the rear side of the console? That's where it's been on my last two F-350's. I also have a 120 volt AC and USB port on the dash.

The new Ranger is a great truck. John Hennessey can make it "greaterist".

Good Morning!!!! 57F @ 5:15AM. Plentiful sunshine. High 76F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.

Glad you like the new truck, Don. Sounds like you found a gem of a dealer. Not sure I'd trade a big back seat for a short bed like that, though. Be interesting to see how that works out for you.:thumbsup:

Welcome to the ranks of the unemployed/retired, Thomas! :thumbsup: Do you have to turn in your ID badge when you leave for the last time?

Finished the footer for the retaining wall on the propane terrace yesterday; lots of tamping on the moistened road base has left my fingers stiff this morning. Today I hope to get the blocks I have put back on the new footer, and figure out how many more I'll need. Hopefully Home Depot can get them loaded this time without breaking out the window on the camper shell like they did last time.:shocked:

Had some time to start the red motorcycle up after replacing the top end; felt a breeze coming from the left side and found a valve cover gasket misaligned. Don't know how that happened, but only took a few minutes to fix. Hope to get a ride in on it today.

The wind was very calm yesterday evening, perfect for folding up the ratty tarp that's been covering the fire truck, and putting on the new one. Surprise, surprise, the box that the new tarp came in had two of them in there; no wonder it was so expensive (and heavy)! Got two ratchet straps holding it on, but want to get a couple more from Harbor Freight so it won't flap so much in the wind.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!:cool2:

Lots'a purty pichers, no price tag. I guess if I have to ask, I can't afford it, right? Just as well; pumping another 25% horsepower through the stock drive line prolly ain't such a good idea anyway.

FWIW, my '85 Ranger cost me a whopping $5500 out the door. I bet they've gone up a little since then, huh?:laughing:

I bet Don .... knows.

John Hennessey's team do great "magic".

His shop is about 30 miles East of the Ranch, right on I-10.

Lots in the news about new tariffs going into effect in Europe. OMG, single malt Scotch is on the list, due for a 25% hit. Time to stock up!
