Good morning!!!!

@mostly_gas - 1966 BSA Victor. Going to see how it works with an .080” over bore. Some say it can’t be done.

Back in the day, guys tried to bore out Norton Commando barrels to 1000cc. It worked for a while, then the cylinders cracked between the fins. Fun while it lasted, though...

Yesterday was fun. Carvana came and got the Mustang GT. Easiest sale of my life. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a buyer. I always knew I would sell this car but only dreamed of getting my money back.
Carvana gave me every dime including the sales tax back that I gave to carmax 3.5 yrs ago. The car's value rose 20% this year.
It was a fun ride.

RNG you may have to heat it to get it back in shape or take it off and use a press

I am always concerned about using the rosebud heating about the withdraw rate for the gas trying to stay below 1/7 of tank volume rate. A big tank is your friend

Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 6:00AM. Partly cloudy this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High around 70F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

Really far behind again, but just from the number of pages, you folks have been busy!

Made another offer on a house yesterday, owner countered with a much larger number, so probably gonna pass.

Lots of rain on the way home, so glad to be in a car. Ran great all the way, 42 MPG average.

Gate was closed but not locked when I got home, wouldn't close with the actuator hooked up. Easy to see why: The bracket was badly bent. That steel is 3/8" thick, but the moron pushing on the gate had a twelve foot lever. It remains to be seen if there's any damage to the hinges or actuator.

I have the whole episode on video, so not much doubt about who did what. New rule: No contractors on site unless I'm here.

Happy Hump Day, folks...

I love when you give specific instructions to call prior to arrival in order to have the gate open, and it doesn’t happen. That happened when we had our survey done (we called the office saying we hadn’t heard from them on the scheduled day, office said they were out on the job at 7AM, we went up and the gate hinge brackets were unbolted and the survey was 2/3 done) and when we had some clearing/grading last year (cut the chain and put their own lock on for access, worked (allegedly ) a day and a half before calling us with a “progress report”).

thqt second event, more than anything, is why we bought the mini-ex. We’ll do our own @#$&ed work, thank you very much!

0.19" of rain fell overnight and it was a cloudy 39ºF for this morning's low temperature. The sun has made an unexpected appearance and it is currently a mostly cloudy 49ºF. I do not expect to see all that much sun today, but whatever sunshine I get will be appreciated. Today's predicted high temperature is 52ºF and there is a 50% chance for PM rain showers and a 70% chance for rain this evening. The grass is greening up; I can see some seat time on the old rider next week once I get it running.

I have 6 bird feeders up and running ATM. In a couple of days I'll start putting out oranges and a Baltimore Oriole feeder in anticipation of the returning bird migrants. I've been taking the feeders down before dark. It will only be a matter of time before the bear starts arriving earlier. It's a decent sized bear.

On the good: My friend's tumor was benign. He lost a lot of blood. It was a total administrative disaster at Mass General, but what matters most is the outcome. Thank you all for any/all + thoughts and prayers for my friend.

This video was taken on 4.16, but the bear has been here almost nightly.

Good morning! Low was 39°, going up to 76°. Sunny, light winds. A slight 20% chance of a T-storm.

Fritz, your daughter is definitely making things better, and turning heads for sure!

Wng, hope you're able to get out to the trails soon!

Lou, hope you're able to get the foundation issues corrected without too much hassle.

Kilroy, hope you can get the plants transplanted before your trip. ..... $4500 for scaffolding? How many sections?

Today's agenda has a couple trips into the "big city" for an appointment and then a stop at HD. Then back this afternoon for another appointment.
Tree planting may take a back seat for today......

Need to go pour another cup of coffee......
Everyone have a great day!

Jay, which video of the bear are you referring to?

David, glad the pup returned safe and sound! There must have been something very interesting to catch his attention.

Always wanted to go visit this site in Germany not far from Berlin. Building this back in the day must have been a project worth watching

RNG. Maybe this why you cannot find a Van. They are stacking them to high on the truck.

I-275 reopened after semi-truck hauling cars gets stuck under overpass

Michigan State Police said a semi-truck that hit an overpass on I-275 near Telegraph has been cleared and traffic is flowing again.

Ted- Some technical challenges on this end. I'll post it at some point. Hopefully.
