Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

So, just a heads up.... beware of anything from GOOGLE SHOPPING Thanks for letting me rant....

AFAICT, Google Shopping is nothing more than an automated google search for whatever criteria you typed in across retailers known by google. If you have problems with a transaction, it needs to be addressed with the retailer, not with Google. Just like their maps where they'll show you a road that is actually a boat ramp. It's up to you to decide to drive down it or not.:laughing:

But in my experience, those google searches often turn up the best pricing. You just have to do some due diligence to make sure that whatever shows up in your browser is current and active.

Good morning. On Tuesday I booked my wife's car into the Toyota garage to get the battery replaced. Got there only to find they didn't have the correct size in stock. I could moan about incompetence, the waste of a gallon or two of fuel and loosing 2 1/2 hours of my life, but in truth I quite enjoyed the drive over, the people couldn't have been more apologetic and at least I came back with a free key fob battery.

drivesitfar, hope it won't be too long before you are able to make the transition to a larger plot. In the meantime, that looks like a really nice place to live :thumbsup:

Sodamo, I can well understand you not wanting to go to the beach too often - for a concrete addict, seeing all that sand just waiting to be turned into another slab must be torture

You do make me chuckle, Eric

Good morning, the temp here is a chilly -14°F and the high will be on the plus side of zero at 7. Wind NW 2 mph. Sunny.

I have a question for you hydraulic experts; Can I put teflon tape on hydraulic fittings?

Have a good day all

Good morning! Winter returns after after what seems like several weeks of mild weather. We are going to have our coldest weather since before Christmas over the next several days. 24 now, maybe get to 33 later. Snow, freezing rain tonight into tomorrow.

L4N - nothing wrong using Teflon tape on pipe thread fittings in a hydraulic system. Just leave the last thread or so clear to reduce chance of the tape flaking off into the system. Straight threads should not need tape, should have some sort of O-ring seal with straight thread.

The trip to FL went well. 219 riders signed up. Lots of good racing. We got the new bike working fairly quickly and had a good weekend. Some heat race wins, made the Amateur Dash for Cash, 2 podiums, 2 4ths.

This one is for RNG, I have a Lucas dynamo to rebuild this weekend. Wish me luck!

Everyone have a safe and good weekend

Up and moving, grandson is staying today. 32-37 today and still breezy.

Ellen is coming down with some upper respiratory junk, I have to be very careful over the next few months.
I also cut my lower leg yesterday so I have to watch for cellulitis.
Not a great day for such but I guess it’s gonna happen.

Good day guys, prayers.

Good morning all. 35 degrees this morning, much colder, and while still a little queasy headed off this morning.
Have to go to tire shop early, went to check air in tires and two of the rears would not show a reading on gauge nor would they take air. They have the extensions on the dual wheels and it seems like it wasn't put back together again properly. Not going anywhere until they fix that for sure.
Primary doc emailed me last night and said liver function somewhat improved. Drinking a lot of water but a number of labs are still alarming High.

lot of details leaving house for two weeks, double walk through to make sure plugs are pulled. I set the heat on 64. Next door neighbor will pick up mail and check on things.
I had wanted to get the dormant spray on the orchard before I left but will have to wait until I get back.

have an hour or two to kill before I'm off, two hour drive to Fayetteville, off 95, easy drive and good test of the rv and me.
hope you all have a good day.

daugen; happy motoring. I believe Murray Westgate said that at the end of the Esso (Exon for you 'mericans) commercials.

Drinking second cup of coffee. 19ｰ with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 28ｰ with some sun. Weather forecasters are making like we live in Florida and it's to snow tomorrow. We live in Michigan it snow here. Got my credit union problems straightened out after threatening to take my money out. Stupid people making rules that make their easy but does not provide true customer care. No plan for today.

Drew, get rid of the extensions. get a gauge that will read tire pressure in any direction valve stem is. Same with air chuck. If you are not getting any pressure on tires. Do not drive RV. Call road service. Glad you are getting better. Safe travels.

Looking, using Teflon tape is acceptable. But make sure you do it correctly. If any Teflon tape gets in to pump it can destroy it very quickly. Not sure you need as meany raps as this guy shows.
David MFW, welcome back.

Drivesit, great pictures. Do you take ferry to big city?

David, nice truck cap.

Prayers and best wishes to everyone.

Good Morning All.

Addict, I think we all addicted to something. I just cannot remember what mine is. :shocked:

32 clear and windy, going to 39.

Had thought about going to the mountains today, but saw it would be minus 2 chill factor this morning.

RNG, I still think you are pretty Elite, even if TBN doesn't. Sorry you lost your status.

Eric, sorry you lost the ewe. We've lost goats and a horse, so I feel for you.

Looking4N, when I was a kid, all the Exxon stations here were branded Esso...when they changed, we heard it was because Esso was a bad word in some foreign language...guess it wasn't the Canadian language .

Beautiful place, DIF. Where are you thinking about moving?

Hope Ellen is feeling better. She is special and you need her.

Rich, congrats on your races.

Ron, more bird pix?

The little 8 lbs fur ball now looks like a little dog after her grooming yesterday. With all the snow forecast tonight and tomorrow. I will get some seat time so she will not have to go out in snow over her head.

Went threw my recent pictures. Was trying to get a picture of the front moving in yesterday. I got photo bombed. Here is a woodpecker.
