Good morning!!!!

...

At least you have some legal recourse to the barking, Mike. Around here it's an ag area, and the barking is considered acceptable farm noise. I can complain to the owners, but it does no good. It's about 1000 feet away here, too, but it's right next to their house. I don't know how they get any sleep. Maybe they're just doped up every night?
...
Stopped by the supply store to look at the replacement roof tile while I was in town yesterday. The tile was a perfect match shape wise, but how anybody could mistake the color for brown is beyond me. Especially since I sent the salesman a photo of what I had.
....
TGIF gang!

I am Ag, they are not. Usually it is the "they" complaining about the Ag when they move in.

I feel kind of silly trying to address it, since it literally went on ALL night long. I'd hate to think they are doped up, but WTH.

....

Maybe the person was color blind or their photo viewer has some serious color issues?

Wild.

Yes, TGIF.

Good Morning Everyone,

Have a great day, nothing but office paperwork for me right now.

RNG, I'm wondering if there is a dye type product that would let you change the color of those new tiles. I think there is a product to dye pavers.

Rip, Are the neighbors there? They didn't get hauled off to jail or murdered or something?

Well morning all;
I spent my morning puttering around outside these weather guessers have quite the variance in their guesses.
I've seen 2-6", 4-8" and 8-12" with the 8-12 being bandied about quite often.
So I stuck my oil tank to see how that was doing as I haven't been using the coal this winter and my wife has been working
from home so the house is being keep warmer then it used to be. Got 19" left in a 48" 1000 gallon tank. So about 360 gallons left
out of the about 900 that it got filed to so used about 2/3's of that tank so far. I'll likely move the portable 300 over and transfer it if the
yard ever get froze good.
Then prepped the Branson for the worst forecast so we should get the least amount now.
Back blade and bucket off;

Blower and front blade on;

Now to read this forum then go visit with one of my brothers for a bit.
Everyone stay safe and enjoy

The lights went off this AM, the dogs are now inside. Nice and quiet. Figures.

I have two courses of action:

1- If I hear the dogs at 12AM-5AM I will go knock on their door
2- I shall pay them a visit on Saturday

I met the guy once, he seemed a little standoffish....we chatted for a few minutes, but it seemed like I was driving the whole conversation. Hey, whatever. I'll probably go have that talk and be labeled the "mad farmer" next door.

I would be in trouble in Britain as they are rationing fruits and vegetables.

British supermarkets are rationing fruit and vegetables as shortages bite

Poor weather conditions and higher energy costs have led to restrictions on popular salad items.

38F with rain and a Wind Advisory @ 14:00, high might make it up to 49F today ... but it won't happen until close to midnight.

Got hopper and tube feeders refilled yesterday, also 'coon - who failed swimming lessons - disposed of.

Still need to rebait and reset the live trap though.

Made some decent progress on various items out in the garage yesterday.

Blast gate manifold nearly complete, got pieces put on the bottom plate that will form the recess the middle plate will set in, still need to trim the one end flush and add the foam weatherstripping on the bottom plate so it will seal:

​

Also need to glue in the clear plastic tubes on the top and bottom:

Parts for the overhead swiveling arm for the vacuum hose (and maybe an extension cord !) cut out, drilled, and cleaned up:

And assembly mounted and tested:

​

Need to get the blast gate manifold mounted on the wall and finalize the hose position before I lock it down on the swing arm.

Probably also going to need to add some side bracing on the lumber rack as it wants to twist when the swing arm is rotated.

Agenda for the remainder of today:

Quick trip out to the van to place a bucket under wherever the drip is coming from so plywood don't get wet.

Then back probably back to the main bathroom project to quiet the threats of "I'm going to call the plumber ..."



Maybe fire up one of the old computers later and start laying out the cabinetry for the woodworking bench and router tables.

Probably sneak out to the garage later on as temps warm up and do some clean up out there.

Hope everyone is having a great Friday ...

RS, now you started an insatiable desire for a philly cheesesteak......

I normally make them at home, but I found a 2 for 1 coupon for a place in town.... Guess what we're having for dinner?

I'll hazard a guess it wasn't tacos ... ?

There was place down in N. Canton a few years ago that had really outstanding phillys ... was a chain of some sort, don't recall the name offhand but they were great.

They weren't there all that long before they closed up ... apparently just weren't getting the traffic.

Made me sad as I love a good philly.

We had Manwiches last night which The Woman loves.

But they don't hold a candle to a good philly.

No headway on getting a sooner "second opinion" on the knee.... spent the afternoon yesterday trying to do so..... that was after the call I got moving the appointment from June 8th to June 29th..... put a call into the original surgeon too, to see if they could do anything..... nope. They are booking until the end of July. Ridiculous!.....

Still waiting for the disability insurance to 'review' the case again..... Hopefully they entered the new attorney's information.....

Hope your able step out of that tunnel soon.
