Drinking first cup of coffee. 28ｰ with freezing drizzle this morning. Heading to 30ｰ with some sun in PM. Not sure I will attempt going to PT this morning. Very few cars on road this morning and schools are closed. Need to put some ice melting stuff on drive. I did see my neighbor leave for work without trouble. Then back to helping wife clean cabinets.
Finding the stalk chopper was not all that hard. Used wifes Pinterest account to find old farm equipment pictures. Finding the video took a little longer.
Don, I think the person you have been trying to contact is waiting for you to wash and wax the JD.
Good Morning All.

Buppies, congratulations! Lynn and I had 42 before I lost her, seems like a long time, then it doesn’t. Enjoy them all.
20 heading to 42 today, not looking forward to the Arctic outbreak. Breakfast with the guys this morning after taking my grandson to school today.
Good days and prayers to all.

Congrats Buppies, a remarkable accomplishment, enduring love.
All the cars mentioned were great. Like Buckeye I had a late start, freshmen weren't allowed cars at college so
I took the train to Providence. And the next year was working so hard I just couldn't justify the cost, particularly when
my job was to earn everything else except room, board and tuition. Books, entertainment? Earn them. Which working three hours every night
in the school cafeteria accomplished. In high school most of my friends in our upscale semi-rural community had expensive muscle cars, and I loved riding in them. Not for me. And none of my friends worked for those cars either, except one, and he had the nicest
baby blue TR4, maybe an A, real wire wheels, and I bet it dripped Girling fluid of some kind on his garage floor every night.
My next older brother was a decent mechanic, worked summers in a local service station, and now he and his son both own very large local businesses, and I bet he stops in that station out of nostalgia a few times, it's a bit out of town, down in Washington Crossing. I'm mentioning these names because a few of you actually know these places which is neat for me. My brother got hooked on British cars, like many of you.
Old MG where I ruined his second gear on a borrow, talk about feeling horrible returning someone's car after you broke it.
But then he got into Austin Healey 100's, 100A I think. They all leaked. They all had carburetors that would never stay in tune.
They all were fairly inexpensive to work on so if you were on a tight budget, you scrounged.
These were the days when J.C. Whitney was
a real go to auto supplier. You studied that catalog and tried to make sure you got the right model brake pad, or lighting parts.
Lucas, Queen of Darkness. you try getting home at night on a pitch black country road without any headlights.
I believe the Moon made a helpful appearance to me one night getting home.
Goeduck, nice flowers, a bonus!
Sodamo, your aerial shots are really neat.
Don, I promise all of us will pitch in for your bail if they haul you off to the pokey. Go for it.
Wingsprd, your hikes in the snow must be really special. The snow seems to make the woods quieter
PJ, clearly you are our Renaissance Man, one who savors every moment and likes to ease into things, which is all that VW could ever
do is ease...we had a 66 in our family.
Harv, I'd love to hear the story of those clutches. Now just what were you doing with that thing?
Claye, that Scout is now a Holy Grail car, and yours with a V8 and manual? Another one we let get away. Or was putting us in the poorhouse
when we owned it.
LS, oh no on the snowblower. If you have already wrecked two gearboxes, I'd either put smaller shear pins in next time or buy something
new.
Bird, your wife was right. Beep Beep
Jay, sorry about dent. Hopefully we will see less and less of this as radar systems beep loudly at us in new cars.
Like backing out into a lane where you can't see due to blocked vision, and radar says ok or not.
Of course they have to be alert enough to understand that beep means you are about to hit something.
Newest model cars even have full auto stop in reverse now. Cars are being made smarter to overcome dumb drivers.
Toppop, you've been a car guy all your life like me. GTX is a fine ride. Plus even the 383 can be pumped up quite a bit. I love the Corvette engine transplant, often it wrecks the value of the vehicle but not something that nice.
But the big decision with your dream ride is what mufflers to run. There's a wonderful Youtube video from one of the major performance muffler brands that revs up engines with each varying size muffler. Fun to listen to, but not right now with my buzzing ear... was thinking of this yesterday driving the truck. The hemi just has a marvelous sound, but very muted. However if you floor it, almost like it has cutouts, makes all kinds of noise. But in normal operation very quiet. Now that it's out of warranty, hmmm.
Working on older cars is fun, lot has to do with inspection rules in each state.
And particularly if they are going to stick an emissions probe up your pipe.
Time to go move the new Massey out to the end of the lane, waiting for its ride.
Nothing like a little seat time, as I try to get across the one stretch of nice lawn without ruining it.
Hope you all have a lovely day.

Good morning! OK guys with the cool cars. Another cousin story Ron. My coolest car was my first car, a 1974 Ford pinto hatchback, 4 speed, dark blue with side racing stripes, wide chrome mag wheels and surfing racks. One of my distant relative's (Dad's cousin) owned a Ford dealership and when they put the dealers name on the back of the car they put my name on it. (got $100 off list price because of family ties.) Paid cash for the new car with money I save from my paper route. Today its worth about $50, sure do miss it, it Heading to Galveston on the weekends with my girlfriend in the front seat and my surf board on the roof, life did not get better. That girlfriend is sleeping in this morning.
It was a hot car in more ways than one with no A/C in Houston TX. :eek
48˚ heading to 59˚ cloudy.
Happy anniversary Buppies.
Drew, Thanks might need to take you up on your offer (bail) it I'm starting to get the shakes from tractor withdraw. I just can't qualify seat time till the wheels are rolling and the hydraulics are pumping.

Yeah, otherwise you're just a little kid going vroom vroom. Not that that part isn't fun too...
What kind of lift does that thing have? Try digging up some of the walkway pavers, I'm sure no one will mind.
Maybe dig up that community bush you don't like.
Bail is being raised as we speak.

Don, I remember that Pinto, we looked that up before. California Dreamin'... those were the days of browns and golds and greens,
and you had a refrigerator in Harvest Gold. Perhaps not civilizations' best effort.

Good Morning!!!! 50F @ 4:00AM. Cloudy with periods of rain. Becoming windy for the afternoon. High near 50F. Winds SSE at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 100%. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Picked up an inch of gentle rain yesterday, but it looks like the wind'll be rockin'n'rollin' this evening when the main part of the storm comes through. Worried about weakened trees taking out the power, but that late in the day I'll just hit the sack.:laughing:
Too bad the tractor comes with an inconsiderate tender, or not tender, Don. I'm sure it will appreciate your fettling, but how long will it be before you get tired of cleaning up his messes?
Enjoyed reading the car stories, gang. I really like my R100RT too, PJ; it's a marvelous bad weather machine that relishes putting on the miles. Handles pretty well on a mountain road, too. I understand Honda put the new Goldwing on a diet this year, making it more BMW like. Maybe in a few years you can pick up a used one for a song?
Went to use the yellow pages yesterday to look for a surveyor and found it dated 2016. Guess they stopped delivering phone books. Went online to yp.com and found a few names, but a google search turned up even more. Another American icon bites the dust. Called just about every name I came across that was in the area, but only managed to get one quote. It was half the best price I got several years ago, and was in response to a txt message I sent after I got tired of people not being able to understand me due to the poor cell reception here. Google and txt messages replacing phones and phone books, who'd a thought that would happen?
Also ordered a laser level to help with laying out the pad for the new shop and other grading I'll take on this year. And today I think I'll send a txt message to the local Butler Building rep and see if they respond. I'd like to meet someone in town for a face-to-face and see if they can build what I'm hoping for without costing a king's ransom.
Happy Hump Day, folks!

Don't forget shag carpet and 8-track tapes, Drew. The first house I bought, a fixer-upper, had green shag everywhere, and cat whiz in the corners.
:laughing: Never had an 8-track, cassettes were the way to go back then...

I'm not Harvey, but I'd be tempted to find out the make of the door and buy a new track. Then take the tractor keys away from whoever ran into the door to bend the old one.:laughing:

My first thought also was someone ran into the door but I can't find any evidence. The door weighs about 400 pounds and can only slide off one end. Hopefully it can be fixed by sliding both doors to the other side of the rail.
The expectations of a clean tractor are not very high so there is no pressure on keeping it clean but If I do I would be considered a better qualified TD.

as a less intelligent source but if I might add:
crowbar, if you can see what you are doing, soak it all in some lube and final lube with spray white grease. Slip sliding away.
Personally like RNG I'd replace it but that means an official work order, site impact assessment, preliminary approval for
board review, at least six color images supplied, and then the Board Review.
Board member picks up crowbar and says I can fix this. He then goes out and dents the outer rail while
bending the inner track so far the roller falls through the hole and the whole door crashes down on one side,
smashing into his boot. While he limps away one amused bystanders s******ing
enrages the would be door hero and heaves the door back up into the dented slide
and jams it into the end part where it stays.
Of course the next poor person will confronted with a
improvised device worthy of James Bond. In seven out of ten tests the door will smash into the foot of the user and
therefore prevent entry. Faced with that evidence the Board approves replacing the entire door with one controlled by a remote
control. The Board being all male knew in their hearts that you always need a remote control.

I would also replace the track. Hard to believe that door weighs 400 lbs. is it steel reinforced. Use tractor to lift it.

I owned the R75/7 for 32 years and really like the airheads. I rode a 92 R100GS for a couple of years, after the 99 K12LT. I was looking for a nice R100RT when I happened on the R1150RT-P CHiP bike that I ride now.

Good morning to all! Low hovering right at 33F, a couple of light passing sprinkles. High going up to near 45F, becoming partly cloudy, but wind gusts up to 40mph +. Next bigger storm storm expected to bring snow late Thursday night into Friday, not sure of amounts yet.
HAPPY BELATED ANNIVERSARY TO MR AND MRS BUPPIES!
Wow, 42 years, congratulations! Wishing you many more.
Drew, yes, the contemplation of just getting a new snowblower occurred, but the financial budget doesn't have it in the cards. There are some " grey brands" that are about $450, but I'm concerned about future parts if needed (they are probably like washing machines...all the same parts). New "name brands" anywhere from $700-1000. Not sure if they are made that much better. All parts are still available for my 20 + y/o one, repair parts this time would be just under $100. Might have to go that way for at least the rest of this season.
Started the oral steroids yesterday, the first day was a heavy dose of 6 tablets. Made me queasy, even with food. Today is only 5 tabs. Maybe a little better with this dose. I would almost rather have pain than be nauseated. Haven't noticed any reduction in the swelling this morning after the first dose....
Everyone have a great day! It's hump day! Prayers sent.

Just saw the weather forecast for you guys in the NE and north.....watch out...looks like it's going to get nasty this weekend. Better batten down the hatches! Be prepared and stay safe !
