Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
having hard time waking up this morning, Hawaiian blend coffee very smooth and helpful.

heading to auto body shop at 8am to drop off my truck for week; hope to get it back with all that rust fixed.
I found some other questionable spots on body and I think this truck is going to a new owner when I can find something smaller.
but it sure ran great for my trip, flawlessly actually and got about 19mpg. Very helpful my brother has an extra car and can lend his suv to me.

nice weather here for next three days, and lots to do. Need to clean out veggie garden, everything was killed by the frost while I was away.
but bet there are still some radishes hiding in there. Deer came and chomped both my nice mums out front and ate half my roses.
I'll put up with the mums but eating my roses is over the line. I bet they looked yummy....even had a three foot fence around them and deer leaned over
and chomped all the edges. They can't shoot them fast enough around here. Hope the 1000 deer they hope to cull makes a difference.

looks like big storm working its way East, gets here Thursday with a good bit of rain.
RS looks like you are about to get wet, all those nice new plants of yours will like it.
You are going to be able to charge admission soon for garden tours!

Coffee is brewing. 34° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 63° with a few clouds. Hooked my Trak-Vac neighbors Kubota tractor. He was happy. Did 4 loads of leaves with it. One load was my yard. Almost all the fall color has fallen to the ground. Was a great fall day. Took a nice long walk. Then drove over to Frozen Custard store and probably got last one for this year. NASCAR season is over. The guy I like won. Found out my Aunt likes to watch NASCAR races. Going to work on putting casters on Jointer today. That will get me a trip to Menards.

Drew good you made it home safe. I remember the Surekill Expressway. When I made trips to a tire plant in King of Prussia, PA. You would have they would have fixed it by now. That was in the early 70's.

Wngsprd, nice pictures.

RNG, my 1955 Ford had positive gnd. So did my Farmall 340.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Ron, you can imagine the look on my face when I realized, with my bladder about to burst, that I had turned off into the wrong lane and now was dumped into 6 miles of stopped traffic going in the wrong direction. GPS and road sign reminding me next exit was 5.9 miles away. Stuck on that winding, crowded road. I never did make it all the way home....had to stop along side of country road, thankfully with no traffic and did the double door open routine. Those truck doors are thankfully quite large...

I have a big chrome hitch in the rear of the truck with a curved tow hook on it. Would truly do a job on someone's grill. I think that helped keep folks from tailgating me but twice I had to put four ways on to get some young person off my tail. Sure looks like driver training is no longer mandatory.

Buppies, hope you are feeling better and shook the bug.

David, cabinets look good, you live a charmed life with that breaker box, just cleared. It's going to be beautiful when you are done.
I forgot how many feet long you started with. Kind of like fitting out inside of very large rv or boat, how do you pack all the conveniences in a small area.
How did you anchor the structure to the ground?

It's great fun to watch you build this. In your flip flops.
Life is good.

 

[Buppies]

Drew thanks still chest is tight and diarrhea still around

Drew I use truck doors and cutoff top of drink bottles works very well

 

[ronjhall]

Drew, I have been there. I have used Buppies way to many times.

37 outside this AM. Heading to 70. Yep, 70. Think I will just be outside all day today. Maybe find something to wash.

Big accomplishment this weekend was either a dump run or snagging coffee. LOL. I did park the bushhog for the winter. If the wind stays down today, I have some burn pile duty, and of course the grass needs cutting up front.

Took this pic over the weekend. Looks like a juvenile.

Hope all have a great day and good start to the work week. Be safe.

Yupper...double cab pickups can be a traveling outhouse!!!

Rip, I think a local mouse is about to have a very bad day. Cool picture.

like perhaps a few of you, I have BPH and the meds can make urgency take on a whole new meaning.

 

[LouNY]

I carry a jug in the backseat floor board all the time,
many days it gets to be ridiculous needed to stop hourly.
I've contemplated a mini motorhome so as to always have a place to go

How about a little hose that goes out the floor?

Good Morning
It’s 42 and supposed to warm up to 65 with clear skies. A good day to finish outside chores.

Yesterday went well, all things considered. Had a nice visit with kids, and even got a little cleaning up done. But the high point was that I actually am able to recover data from my failed Hard Disk using DMDE Software. I restored a few folders yesterday, and tested the recovered data. So I set it loose on a much larger data set overnight. I‘ll be curious to see if it all restored.

Today, after I check on the recovery effort, I’ve got to find a new place to get rid of my waste oil. I’ve got about 30 gallons in 5 gallon pails, and a few machines that are ready for oil changes. I used to take it to a local auto repair shop the heated with it, but the new owners don’t trust any “outside oil”.

Good morning, low temp 42 and high of 55°F is forecast. Wind SE 7 mph.
Partly sunny.

Well, I got the BH off and the BB on. Knocked down the long grass/weeds on the north field, the rock bucket works good for this.
Rock bucket off and stowed with the conveyor, material bucket back on for winter.

I carry a 5 gallon pail in the curbside cabinet of my train, primarily it is for drips and leaks when unloading. It also comes in handy as my portable outhouse. Blue shop towel (Scotts) is even softer than cheap tp. Need I say more?

A town run is in the cards today, after that who knows, probably an energy conservation day.


Have a safe day all

Morning all, sunny and a bit warmer at 39 when I walked the dog.
Got the big leaner Ash down, used 7 wedges, one set a double, fell exactly where I wanted it.
Got tired of trying to get throw rope up over crotch, too high up.
Then bucked the whole tree, poison ivy was dry enough after 3 months that is did not bother me.

Off to King of Prussia Mall to get son and wife stuff, that place needs taxi service it's so big.

After felling the big Ash, I was so happy, wife was laughing..

Mostly-belated happy birthday to the Mrs.

Only seen one squirrel in the last week, but saw many groups of deer on the way home from Peddlars village. Maybe 100 total.

Buck started huffing at us in the dark last night while walking the dog, big buck seems to have that corner staked out for now.

Drew welcome back!
Feel better Buppies-you deserve some good days ahead.

Stay safe and be well,

Love the CS-620 - now to take the tractor this week and move all the rounds

Was 44 but some spotty frost earlier...going to 69. No clouds. May let the stove go out...not sure yet.

Buppies, sorry you're not all well yet.

Pop-g, our county transfer stations ("the dump") all have big waste oil containers...probably hold 500 to 1,000 gallons for residents to take their oil. Has smaller containers for waste paint, antifreeze, etc. along with all the recycle containers for plastics, cardboard, paper, batteries, propane tanks, etc. All free. Unless you already know, check your county website?

I washed another couple of outside walls yesterday in preparation for some caulking and painting this week.

new owners don’t trust any “outside oil”.

Paul, my BIL used to heat his excavating company shop with waste oil and I always used to take him my
stuff. Sometimes it had some gasoline mixed in, he said bring it anyway....have to wonder what can be in that waste oil. If too much crud, I expect
it would clog up filters in heater. Always wondered if full synthetic oil burned the way dino oil does.

In NC, like wingsprd, the local dump had an area for returning waste oil. And in "rural" NC, they had full stream recycling. Don't have that here, have to pull a lot of different
plastics out.

back home after foodshopping driving my brother's lexus suv with 1000 miles on it. It keeps buzzing at me like I'm not driving right, and I can see one of those
optional lights are on the dash, so later I'll get out the owner's manual and see what turning off that light does. Lane control on back country roads is silly, so many curves around
here steering is usually two hands on the wheel. Everything is soft and muted in his car, slow pedal, made for easing out. My Ram truck bellows with just the smallest touch to the gas and like
a horse ready to gallop it wants to lunge forward. I kept pushing on the pedal until the car started to go. Had to pull out on Rt 202 in commuter traffic so that meant flooring it.
Toyota V6 always has been powerful, probably first time it's hit 5000 rpm since he got it.

Lou I had an empty tupperware container in my last truck. Need to get something in the new one.
I like my coffee too much guess I'd better be prepared.

Ken, nice job on that tree.

Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 6:15AM. Partly cloudy this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. High 61F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
Rain, heavy at times, moves in tonight. I'll give a try sending some of it southeast down Albuquerque way.

Glad the trip went so smoothly for you, Drew. Always nice to see old friends again.

Kitchen is looking good, David.

Spent most of yesterday spraying, this time got all of the 100' perimeter fire safe space done. About half of that was gravel (hold on Ted) I have enough gravel to spread on maybe half the rest, so I'm hoping for a dry spell in the next week or so.

Buddy from Oregon showed up just as I was finishing up putting everything away, good timing. We celebrated his first year of retirement; seems like not that long ago I was helping him move, but it has already been a year.

We'll be up in the attic running wire today, not sure what else the day will bring.

Why use Tupperware, jugs or stand in traffic? Get Motorman’s Friend! You’ll be glad you did.
