Sometimes a 20ton Press is just right


Not perfect but functional for 14 yo

Not against HOA but just not for me. Went to the grocery for a few things and then played on the lathe a bit.

David, looks like a good repair.

Have a great evening. Ed

Got garage cleared out pretty good (moved junk elswwhere) and swept. Was going to pressure wash front of garage, siding turning green, but as soon as i got the pressure washer out, it started storming. Lots of lightning.

Felt better today.

No mail today, even though informed delivery said i had 5 items coming.

I think the mailman might be skipping a few deliveries to finish faster on Fridays.
Glad you are feeling better.

And that is not a bad thing. I do like the fact of the age restriction in this retirement community. No juvenile delinquents, loud music, speeding cars, late night parties, busted mailboxes, boyfriend girl friend dramatics, criminal mischief, drugs, etc . . . to contend with. At sunset the streets are vacant.

I'm old enough, and it sounds like the place could use some livening up...:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Finally got the mower back. After numerous calls to voice mail inquiring where it was. The last VM I left was not pleasant.

Unfortunate it came back with zero gas. And no problem found. I tank it up, and one hour into mowing it starts stalling out. Full choke, gets it going for the trip back to the house, and the engine is surging. I let off the choke, she returns, slowly to normal, but the surge continue.

I parked it. And went to get a beer. Looks like I need to call the dealer in the AM and figure out what to do next. I have lost trust in both the mower and the dealer at this point.

No rain here, it was a glorious day. I picked up more wood for the run-in, my neighbor bush hogged my back forty, and I treated the wife to an ice cream.

Hope all have a great holiday, be safe, enjoy!

Drew that tour would be a blast

I would have enjoyed having you along...
Very impressive huge operation, man we walked and walked.
Superior ventilation, we went just about everywhere, watched layup, foaming, most of the steps.
My second factory tour, my friend's third.
Almost no odor, though after awhile the strong fiberglass smell blends into the background.
I loved the new 5.6 litre yamaha V8's.

It’s one thing to read and understand your covenants/ deed restrictions of what can be done and what can’t but, IMHO it’s equally important to understand how said covenants/ deed restrictions can be amended.

Can they by changed by HOA Board, or by a vote of owners. If by a vote of owners ..... is it by a majority of all owners or a majority of the owners who actually voted.

Riptide, that really is a shame about your mower, sorry you had to get aggravated by it again.
I'd remember the ice cream and leave it at that...

After you have had one too many bad news neighbors, I think a HOA might be an answer for many.
But clearly many of us have a live free or die orientation. We must follow an enormous number of civil and criminal
laws on the books and enforceable already. And some of those laws are clearly asinine, particularly the older ones about
regulating the approved and unapproved ways of making love to your wife, just for example.

But I have to tell you, boy would I like a HOA in my community. Just think, the abandoned drunk farmer's dump would have to be cleaned up.
All those dead cars without tags gathering weeds in poorly mowed back yards would get towed out. All those piles of tires would have to go too and the lawn mowers by the dozens that will never run again.
And the house at the end of the street where the garage is half falling down and representing a public menace, well....
And anyone caught littering would be tar and feathered.
Don, sign me up. :thumbsup:

I am a really serious believer in land use zoning and when even that isn't enforced, it doesn't reflect well on the community.
Where Don lives everyone is on their best behavior, except their dogs occasionally. The general public is not like Don's community members and that's why they want to live there. Like minded individuals who don't want their now I'm really retired and having fun too experience
messed up by the few who always try to spoil the community apple barrel.

We have the joy of choice. Like the burger, have it your way.
I can't imagine living anywhere without that choice.
