Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Your twice as warm than us 42F...almost t shirt weather.

 

[sodamo]

Lots of screwin around today.

Dual track is installed. Even a test “door” - 2x6 with the rollers mounted.

Doesn’t look like much

Haven’t decided if I will cut and terminate the end or just support the extended end (most likely)

 

[Alien]

Another Ryobi man. Love them. I have about 15 now.

[Alien]

Still here mostly. Health has caused a loss of interest in lots of things. Trying to get it sorted.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee cup is full of fresh brewed coffee. 24° with very light snow this morning. Heading to 35° with light snow off and on all day. Maybe 1" total. Turned out to be a nice day yesterday. Sun with a few clouds. High was 43°. Did have mostly a conserve energy day. Going to visit son in afternoon today. Then some NASCAR in evening.
Yesterdays sunrise. Lasted about 10 seconds.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

 

[wngsprd]

29 going to 43, maybe a little snow or rain today.

Got my roasting and chores done yesterday just in time to help my wife unpack a load she brought home from Costco.

 

[ronjhall]

Think I got all the clocks reset. Will do car when I go to sons later today. Did smoke and CO alarms batteries about a month ago.

 

[Spike56]

Good morning to all. Too hot yesterday for this time of year. Upper 80's. A front blowing in, today's forecast high is 70. Unfortunately, no rain! We are getting way too dry and worried about yet another typical Texas drought.

B-21 Raider from Northrup Grumman. 6th generation stealth to replace B-1 Lancer and B-2 Spirit bombers. Unveiled late 2022. Looks like the B-2, but about 15% smaller wingspan, 50% less payload and cosmetic changes to the tail and other portions of the airframe.

Good day to ALL.

 

[KilroyJC]

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

pouring rain here since about 1 AM, 42F. Went into work early yesterday for OT, Tax Season getting into full swing, going in again. Welcome to March Madness, Ucle-Style.

We did get up to the woodlot and let the dog have a good exploration, since the weather forecast was lousy for today and tomorrow, and also raided the brush-pile for branches and got about 35’ of withies installed. Only about 220 more feet to go!

Heigh-Ho - off to work etc.

I hope everyone has a safe, happy, healthy, blessed day!

good morning all
28 going up to 46 today in clouds, before a big rain system comes in tomorrow

turning clocks ahead, always have one electronic one that fools me, push this button while pushing that button, etc.

Spike, looking at that amazing plane, wonder how it would feel for Popgadget to get in it and fly, such a different wing, wonder if it
flies "differently".

speaking of which, Paul and Ken are coming over this morning to help me on a number of projects, plumbing in house and running some wires in rv.
Am considering putting a small inverter in rv, something which came standard on last three I've had, but not this one. Would like to be able to have coffee in the morning up in the mountains without putting on generator. Not a big priority; this rv will spend 99 percent of its time plugged in to some campground. having a solar panel would be nice, to keep batteries charged. Decided I would hold off any decision on this until back from two week Florida trip. Just want to make sure this rv is a keeper before I do more improvements.

have any of you installed "sumo" springs, or little air bags, on a Ford van or F53 chassis? Supposed to greatly improve harshness of ride. Also expressly prohibited in rv manual, since they worry about folks using helpers to allow overloading of chassis. I don't want to carry more weight, just would like that "air bag" ride. Not that expensive to install, but again, will wait until after this next trip.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low temp is 6 and going to a high of 23°F. Wind NE 8 mph. 30% chance of flurries.

The ICW is as smooth as glass this morning.

I am going to stay inside and nurse this cold. So far it is mostly in my head. The barking stopped as quickly as it started.

Have a safe day all

daugen said, "turning clocks ahead, always have one electronic one that fools me, push this button while pushing that button, etc."

Have I mentioned before that I hate the idea of Daylight Savings Time and switching twice a year? I see that one of our politicians is having a straw vote to see how many want to do away with it in Texas. I've already changed one clock in the shop and 5 in the house. So today I still have to change 2 more in the house and one in the car.

 

[daugen]

Bill,
for us Easterners, the ICW is the IntraCoastal Waterway. It's what I took my boat on going down to Florida, to stay out of the ocean.
you must be on vacation with Buppies, watching the water go by....

Intracoastal Waterway - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

that youtube camera I posted recently looks right at the ICW, where it is pretty narrow, like going down a street, but of water.
all those bridges in Florida makes progress slow, manatee zones everywhere, one million dollar home (ten million....) after another along the
way.

But i"m sure ICW means something totally different in Ontario...

Lots of info on rv.net/goodsam class C forum on the E350/450 Chassis. One that helps handling of the chassis is getting front end alignment out closer to 5° than stock settings. I installed air bags on my Motorhome. But it was a Chevy.
Makita makes a battery operated coffee maker.

Good morning, 28 going to 40 today with cloudy conditions.

Plan to do some walking exercise this morning.

I had airbags on a Chevy chassis, Bilstein shocks and heavier front swaybar. Helped with the wind push from passing trucks and more stable on the road

 

[Thomas]

20F clear sky low 40's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.

Plans for today...cook some pick food,updated wildlife photos,watch some NASCAR ???,mostly putter day.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[pennwalk]

26F Sunny. It seems like the weather here has reverted to normal for March. We have a bunch of flowers up but now it is too cold for them to really bloom.

Drew, Is the ICW an interesting trip.


Take care.

Chris

 

[riptides]

30 outside right now. Heading to lower 40's. Rain expected this evening.

Daffodils are popping all over property. They bring attention to areas that need a gardener. LOL. I see some honeysuckle has also managed to gain a good foothold on a flowering bush of some sort. One day I can turn my attention to proper care of the landscaping.

Managed to restock the house on supplies, and late yesterday got the custom window installed in the Milk House walkway area. Today I will attempt to cut two recessed lights into the wood ceiling. Yes, I restocked on the sawsall blades too. This projects has eaten lots of tools and energy. And time....

Hope all enjoy the day. Be safe.

 

[daugen]

that Makita coffee maker is very cool. But only one 5 ounce up at a time.

Chris, ICW in places is beyond awesome. The whole Chesapeake is part of it, and winding around the little water roads through tall grass in
coastal Georgia is so pretty, wildlife habitats all along the way so lots of birds. You pass a lot of ocean inlets, particularly in florida, so "going down" you look over to your
left and see the ocean not far off at times. Those inlets are where the sand always moves around and you often are driving using little red sticks in the water or some local
markers because the regular channel has been silted in. I'd love to do it again on an electric boat with no noise. Just the ripple of the water and the sounds of the wildlife.
