Good morning!!!!

Drew, sorry for loss of your friend.

Good Morning!

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

32.0F (!) going to upper 50w, sunny all day!

Earliest frost here I think since we moved here — we will have a Gen-U-Wine Indian Summer! Frost before the bulk of the acorns and black walnuts have fallen — WOW!

Colors should really take off now.

Trip with mom was successful, too much stuff to take in one trip (I was downvoted on bringing the trailer… gues who was right again…) so we will do another come April.

Gas was 3.959 in Honesdale PA.

Gas was $2.969 in Sevierville TN at Buc-ees.

They were out of nonEth or I would have tanked up the truck on that at that price — that is 20 cents less than the 10% gas here at home!

pickup was getting 21.5 mpg unladen, 19.8 with the full load (including radial arm saw and table saw on deer carrier) doing 75-ish most of the way.

several pages of posts to catch up on, but first, coffee!

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

Yes, I started a thread here on the banned words but the list was all just asterisks.

List of censored words on TBN

Is there a list of words that will be **** outed here on TBN?

Final measurement on rain this morning: 1.18". enough to soak the grass but not enough runoff to get to the lakes.

I wonder if changing the final ”n” to a “t” is permitted?

 

[KilroyJC]

None so far BUT I still have to run the gauntlet in Markham, so I wont count my chickens before they are hatched.

Only got into the one accident and that is part of the reason I am retiring.

Just got back from a three day turn-n-burn, 750+ miles each way, I had forgotten what idiots there are on the road. Multiple instances of jackwagon s cutting from the left lane across to the exit, often across the stripe lines because they waited so long, always in front of trucks, of course more than half the time it was placarded trucks…

I do not envy you.

It was all luck. wish I had a track loader to dig with, where you can see the front of the bucket. Washing my windows on the cab would help me see better also.. I finally got around to putting the lock and lube on the grease gun. really nice, but had one zerk I could not get, so had to switch it again to get that one on bottom of the hoe pivot.

We are doing our saturday breakfast tomorrow with the gang, so not sure it I'll get any more work done or not. Maybe can work on widening the pad a bit. Still got a bunch of old osb siding from the shed that needs burned, might have a camp fire tomorrow...

also, I mentioned to wife about replacing our blue spruce with a dogwood tree, and she is OK with it.

Lock-n-Lube adapter is a Godsend!

 

[KilroyJC]

Yes, it will be crossing directly over us (Annular eclipse). Already planning on getting all the welding masks ready!

Mrs got to watch a partial here in Appalachia. I was still on the road where it was not visible.

 

[KilroyJC]

Yeah, I hear 'ya about the cost..... 28 tons cost me just under $500 ---- including the delivery. I'm within 6 miles, so they'll do 2- 14 ton loads for the one delivery charge of $75

Speaking of tires ---- a note of warning-- do not buy Mohave brand tires..... they are on the little car for just over 12 months, about 14k miles. The fronts were down to 3/32, rears at 4/32nds. They have a 40k milage warranty, so they are getting turned in for 60% credit. Went with a different brand with a 65k warranty. Had to be ordered, so sometime next week.

Back in June 11 tons of 57 cost us $800 delivered.

I miss NT 4.0 SP 2. .

IMO everything after that is bloatware.

computer question
any reason not to update to Windows 11? I'm tired of being harassed by Microsoft to update.
I use Microsoft home and of course they charge me for it annually. Everyone wants to charge
you a fee..

Lock-n-Lube adapter is a Godsend!

but like me it's fat...doesn't fit in everywhere, including my JD mower deck fittings
when it works it's marvelous and saves grease

 

[Thomas]

Special thoughts prayers for the loss of your friend Drew.

On the Kubota excavator recessed fittings it still has plenty of clearance — JD made them that tight?

 

[Thomas]

44Fupper 50" slowly clearing sky.

Yesterday indeed long day but everybody happy and that what counts.
Plans for today...yesterday heavy rain strong wind loosen lot of leaves to the ground leave control plan but not full day,might watch some football.

Good Morning! BREAK OUT THE PUFFY JACKETS! 46˚F.
But the wind changes this morning and with a cloudless sky and Gulf breeze we will be pushing 80˚ by this afternoon.

fit fine on my FEL zerks also, but JD lawn mowers hide the zerk under the pulley and you can't go in straight.
zerk really needs an extension on it but that would likely not last long

Use a set of adapters for hard to grease situations. Easy to snap on

my old business partner passed away yesterday in his early 80's.
A blessing, had gone into dementia in local nursing home.
His wife passed away three months ago. He simply gave up, as happens.
He and I ran the town's main real estate/insurance agency for twenty years together.
A good man, with good values.
And he loved Fordhook lima beans.
He also loved to smoke two packs a day and drink six cups of coffee with two teaspoons of sugar in each one, every day.
And he made it into his mid 80's.
He had a long and good life and you can't ask for more than that.
had a memorial all set for wife, now it will be for both of them.

worst part about getting older is losing your friends and family.
just makes you appreciate every day

I have a good friend who is 82. He is still very active and capable. Fixing and using 2-3 of his old tractors to maintain his property. Even taking the huge diesel pusher cross country every summer with his wife to visit parks, friends, and grand kids. Anyway he tells me the worst part of old age besides the health problems is loosing friends. RIP

My very old Towner disc set has permanent flexible zerk extension on a few hard to reach hubs. May work for your hard to reach places ? Amazon.com

Was 40 with frost on the roof before sunrise. Only going to 64, but pure blue sky again. We have only one or two hummingbirds left, both wearing jackets this morning .

Didn't follow the plan yesterday...put most everything off so my wife and I could take a nice fall hike. Then sat out in the Adirondack chairs for sunset and watched an owl fly up and land on a branch near us.

BEF, cool comparo pix of your son. Did you drive from that point all the way to your property via BRP?

 

[Buppies]

Sounds like a great day wingsprd we watched football her favorite coach potato I was. The ad I am looking at someone’s nose hairs on TBN very appetizing

On the website they have adapters for obstructions, I don’t know if any would work on your application
