Good morning!!!!

[Mark P.]

Kyle - Happy birthday to your son. If you figure a way to get him to do chores without asking let me know, could use some magic here

Mark P. Do you have any entries in the show?

NO, I am one of the sponsers...

The temperature here is 40°F and it has been raining all day. A nice gentle snow cutting rain. It might change over to snow tonight when the temperature goes down to 16.

Kyle, Happy Birthday to Junior.

Good Afternoon Everyone

I've been napping a lot lately, not feeling great the last 3 days so just been taking it easy. Starting to feel on the good side of this.

I have not caught up on this thread yet.

Happy St Patrick's and green beer Day. Have a great weekend

David, do you have two or three rails? Do the bottoms move in the wind?

Two rails.
Yes, subject to wind. These roll very very easily. I do have a couple things to try like some blocks and old fashioned eye and hooks. I’m guessing for the most part I would only open 1 or two at a time, 3 at most when I needed access to complete section.

How are you going to secure the bottoms during strong winds or hurricane?

How about strong Eyelets on the bottom of the panels and a bar that slides between two anchors, can even lock it that way.
Usually use a multislot track on the bottom, but I guess he ruled that out already.

When others seek you out, especially in government, you should be proud.

Well done!!

Edit: And just a few minutes ago the ICC announced war crimes arrest against Putin.

That warrant is a big deal. Russia will continue to have sanctions until they comply with the warrant and all member countries are to arrest him in their country, so not much traveling for Putin.

Billy, your hikes never cease to amaze me. I'm thankful just to see the pics. I would eat like a ravenous wolf if I burned that many calories.....wait, I already eat like one, so I better get to cracking. Will they let electric bikes on the trails? Horses?


Have a great day all!

Happy Birthday to your son. 13 is a big deal. Lucky proud dad and mom. Sorry about your water line.

You work so hard, I'm sure you burn off the calories. eBikes won't help, though. I've seen them on fire roads, but no vehicles or horses allowed on the AT or most other hiking trails. There are some other trails designated for horses, as well as hiking, and I'll see horses sometimes. I'm planning a hike across Grayson Highlands to Mt. Rogers (Virginia's highest point - 5,729') where there are wild ponies roaming the grassy balds, so I guess they get to walk the AT there.

I don't think any beer would work right now, but I have tried green beer a few times. more of a Guinness (also Irish) or Heineken (double Dutch) drinker, on those rare occasions, but a Molson Canadian is everywhere. I won't be thinking beer for at least a week though.
