My wife believes it is Peter Pan inspired.

Ever give any thought to a ship shaped tree house in the back yard for her, Kyle?

If you run a 4WD, or even a 2WD, with lockers, you'll get tire scrub if both tires on an axle aren't the same diameter. So the way Drew did it should be OK.

These days, many cars monitor tire pressure by measuring the rotation speed of each wheel. If one developes a flat, it spins faster because it's running a shorter radius but still has to keep up with all the rest of the good tires. If Drew's truck instead measures tire pressure directly, he shouldn't have a problem. Otherwise, the TPM will complain until he goes back and buys another pair of Michelins.:laughing: He could still have problems if the traction control system expects all wheels to rotate at the same speed, since the new ones will have a larger diameter than the worn ones.

He will probably be just fine!! You know the old saying "Looks Good From My House"

On loose surfaces the tires minor mismatch will be fine, while he had no reason to, should he try 4wd on dry surfaces he could get an error code. The AWD Grand Cherokees use to not tolerate any difference in size or air pressure. You’d get a light and often binding on turns. I had a faulty tire on mine and it was changed st 4000 miles, dash lit up like 4th of July, about 3-4 lights came on and you could barely turn around on asphalt. They had to put all four on new.

If I'm not mistaken some of you guys were talking about home garage lifts awhile back; my son sent me this pic today of my RTV on his new lift. I'm down in Florida till early Oct and didn't even know he was up to some tricks. He bought this to help us restore his old 66 Bronco. It looks like a real sweet setup.

Spent all day fighting to extend my STD past 8/30. Work had me down for LWOP instead of STD. Finally got my case manager to call back. He agreed to extend till next week. Now if it goes thru to work in time. I never got my last paycheck yet because of a mixup.

hope you get that all straightened out. Why the heck would someone think you just wanted to go without any pay???

Anyways, keep getting better for us. You too Randy.

Prayers for our team.

Thinking about you Ron.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Maybe a 2 x 8 between 2 trees and a ladder?



BTW RNG IIRC, nikasil cylinders require softer cast iron type rings.

Astros might have a better chance if the Yankees keep losing 3 a day.

A tree castle? Really talented. I sure couldn’t even copy it let alone do original. Be proud, Papa

It will work out, just cash flow...dont want to go 4 weeks without pay.

Im curious about the boat in the tree.

Im curious about the boat in the tree.

Flying boats don't have to worry about icebergs (only trees, or is that where they dock.) Interesting how she has put the objects facing in different directions and can get the sides complementing that direction.

Good evening all. 75F this morning, partly cloudy, light breeze. Clouds moved in but no rain, cleared back off to partly cloudy this afternoon, outflow this morning from north then died aff this afternoon, high temp 91F, HI 96F. Bike ride this morning, then chainsaw firewood, had a couple of small piles working on now. Need to start splitting the logs so the stack will be closer to the order I will burn it. Worked on routing for next Saturday's ride, have 2 in 2 weekends (Greenville and Bonham). Spent 30 minutes with Garmin on phone with no usable help. No nap either
Eric sounds like a nice time.
Ron hope you got your projects planned, feel free to send some rain down here!
Randy, how big a wedge? Hope OT eval goes as well as the PT eval.
Scrambler sounds like a busy day.
Drew, had the same problem on my van, got what was on sale and 80K mile tire would go about 40K. On all the other cars I had different story. Just figured the van's weight had something to do with it.
Kyle, love today's art.
Buckeye, good luck with paperwork, too bad paperwork is not going as well as recovery!!
Steppenwolfe, lift looks nice :thumbsup:
prayers for all.

The wind dropped right down last night, with just enough to waft the heady scent of acres of wilting grass into our back yard while I paused for a few minutes to watch the huge orange moon peep over distant hills. Max looked disapprovingly at me as I closed the gate to the fields. He obviously wanted to try some moonlight hunting for yet more voles before it gets baled. Earlier in the day he had been stockpiling his "secret" cache of this fresh meat. It was funny to see him look left and right over his shoulder, trying to make sure know one was watching as he returned to dig out a hiding place in flower beds. Even if we hadn't seen his furtive excavations, we could have guessed what he had been up to as he came back with his nose covered in soil from pushing back the soil.


Kyle, your daughter is never short of imagination !

We live on the Wales/England border, so there are lots of little castles around here, this is one of the nearest.


Not seen one built in a tree before - maybe they were too worried about water draining from the moat ?

52 right now...high about 70 today.

The original plan was to drive up Mount Washington (Mount Washington Observatory | White Mountains, New Hampshire) today, but the weather isn't going to be that good...next year, I guess. If the women want to go somewhere (Kittery ME was suggested), we might do that....more likely, we'll just stay home

Chores, maybe...dump run is about it...

65 high of 76 drizzle that drizzle yesterday made up to .68 in of rain very nice to put moisture back in the ground

Prayers for Ron BEF Toppop LS and all others in need

 

[wngsprd]

We got cool drizzle all day, too, but I don't think it amounted to more a couple of hundredths, based on the gauge late afternoon. 67 now with 82 later.

Roy, Mt Washington has pretty tough weather all year. I've only been once, in summer and it was cold and windy. Sorry you can't go.

Had a good workout at the gym yesterday and hit the grocery store. Upgraded my coffee roaster firmware and software yesterday and will give it a workout today.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! A cool 70˚F before sunrise only heading to the mid 90s. Various outside vegetation projects at various locations today.
Had a cousin drop by yesterday, she had just retrieved a beehive out of a tree that the owner did not want because his grandchildren play in the yard. Only one sting!

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Eric. Too funny about Max.
Nice castle pic.

63° and cloudy.

Wife wants to get the last row of spuds dug this morning. Afterwards it's watch football for me. She will most likely keep busy doing stuff around the house. She is so much like her mom, won't hardly sit and take a break.

HS football had a big win last night.

I didn't try mt washington when we did a white mts vacation yrs ago. Did ride the train at Conway.

 

[ronjhall]

Drank first cup of coffee. 57° with a bright moon in the skies this morning. Heading to 74° with some sun. Got lawn cut yesterday. Then a storm hit with some hail over 1". Did a quick check. Looks like new shingles survived without damage. Took my sister to airport this morning. Need get some seat time today. Just have not decided which project to do yet.

Kyle, your daughter sure can do great drawings.

Randy, Buckeye and LS hope you get continue getting better.

David, hope you are not going to miss the BH.

Good Morning All
