Re: Naming Tractors: We have a Winner!!!

GlueGuy, 10 day hiatus? I don't know how you'd ever catch up. I just plan to be gone 5 days next week for a fast trip to West Virginia and back, and figure I'll be so far behind here at home when I get back that I've wondered whether I'd ever be able to catch up again or not.

Like I said, my wife sips coffee all day and I do at least half the day or more, but we have friends in Baton Rouge who only drink one cup of coffee a day and I've told them that they get more caffeine in that one cup than we do in 4 or 5 pots./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Maybe you make coffee like they do./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: Naming Tractors: We have a Winner!!!

Well, I think I am basically "caught up". Spent an hour and 1/2 last night, but did do a lot of skipping around.

When I make coffee, I just fill the grinder to the top with espresso roast, and grind it 'till it's powder. Throw it in the c-maker with 12 cups of water & let it rip. We get about 5 "mugs" out of the whole thing, and we each have two + a little more. That's it.

My Dad had been diagnosed with Parkinsons disease several years ago, and we noticed that his hand was shaking. When the doc asked him how much coffee he drank, he said 4 or 5 "pots" per day. Doc suggested that he cut back a bit on that. He did, and the shaking went away. He never did get the tremors.

Larry,

Thanks for not elaborating on what ideas you'd gotten from me. I don't want any liability suits! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

As for names, I haven't named my L4310HST, but some of the folks I work with call it "Sparky", in reference to an incident in which I punched a hole in a natural gas main with my auger, but that's a story for the Safety Forum... Let's just say I was glad that it was Miss Utility's fault, not mine. Uh, oh yeah, and that it didn't go BOOM!!!

Well,well, ...look what the wind blew in!

Mark, I was thinking just today (believe it or not /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif ) about posting a general-alarm "where is Chalkley?" to the group.

Thanks for the idea; of course the ideas I got from you will be whichever ones result in my injury or death! (my lawyer has clear instructions to that effect /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif.

In all seriosity, though, if/when I EVER get a handle on posting photos here, I'll be naming names and giving credit-where-due, to the best of my memory, for the help I got on TBN, with SUPERBABY. (still got a few things I want to do first though, ...certainly not on the scale of your mods./w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif )

Nice to know you're still kickin",
