Good morning!!!!

[gstrom99]

RS, LS, PopaG, thanks for the info again on the table saws. I am looking for a upgraded homeowner special. Don't need it to do anything but rip window and door trims. And it has got to move about as there is always something going on somewhere other than the house.

FWIW: I bought this one last year for trim work.. Works and moves around great.

I thought Massey, Kioti and TYM owned this part of the market but I guess someone thinks there's room for another brand.
I sure would not depend upon my local TSC to know much; remember my story about walking into one and asking for
three point hitch parts and the guy there asked what was a three point hitch?...

Now that supply is improving for other companies, think this might be a tough sell for an unknown brand.

Bad Boy is now offering small tractors, too. For how long? I wouldn't consider either one, without "support".

....

am I now officially a geezer?

hmmm, better look that up, see who it offends....
nope, I'm ok
What age is a geezer?
a geezer, an old geezer (UK): a guy, a man, a dude; an old man, an elderly fellow. noun. The slang term geezer is used in the US exclusively to describe an old person. In British English, it is a slang term used to describe a man of any age.

So....one truly is only as old as one feels.

The seven stages of man comes to mind. On a tractor site no less...

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players,
They have their exits and entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
Then, the whining schoolboy with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice
In fair round belly, with good capon lin’d,
With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws, and modern instances,
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,
His youthful hose well sav’d, a world too wide,
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again towards childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
—Shakespeare

Don nice weather. So the kids find the eggs then feed them to bunny to get candy?

It would be hilarious if the candy came out the other end, and the kids would probably like it better. They would have fun making the bunny poop candy. I don't know if there is a concept to understand here, maybe it will be apparent when the bunny machine is complete. First Hunt is the 25th so maybe I can post a pic and understand the concept by then. This is the same guy that made the GIGA beer keg/trailer (40 spigots with an iPad on each spigot) that caught fire and never was utilized last year.

Good morning! 47˚F heading to the mid 60s, partly cloudy.

Good morning, 34 going to 39 today colder for sure today but no snow thankfully.

Going to infusion clinic today for wife for monthly injection

Shoulder feels better this morning after injection yesterday.
Being an Octogenarian doctor did not recommend any surgical solutions

Ordered the thermostat for the mini split for delivery tomorrow

Daughter was harassed and followed last night walking the dog. She is buying pepper spray now.

8º this morning, going up to 38º. Supposed to be near 50º next two days.
Got the first wall stud section up yesterday. Not too heavy, to lift up alone. 10 foot wall. The rest should be easier, after getting a plan set up. First time using an air framing nailer. Too cold out there this morning (no heat out there now), so I'll wait a bit before getting out there today. I'm in no real hurry. Yet. I have to move my 8' step ladder over there, too. The 6 footer is a bit sketchy, when I need to be on the top wrung.

Good Morning.
Cold and windy out there this morning. Snowing large flakes that disappear on contact with the warmer ground or objects.

Yesterday started with finishing up a speaker and getting it ready to ship. Then off to Costco for some speed shopping. Drew will be disappointed to know that they have been out of diet Snapple the last 3 times I’ve been there. (He knows where the diet peach tea is kept here). But got everything else on the list. Productive class with Zoe last night, it’s good practice to make her focus when surrounded by distractions.

Today I’m in the shop ordering supplies and building speakers, I think I have enough of a waiting list to keep me busy for as long as the supply chain holds out.

33 and snowing like crazy! First round of cleanup has only gotten me stuck twice!
Way to heavy to push or shovel. Glad I have the blower!! Looks like over a foot already and not expected to stop till tomorrow. Trees down and power out all over the place. We are good still.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
