THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
A synonym is a word you use in place of one you can’t spell.

Coffee's on.

 

WOW! I didn't even have to open the door to find out why. That smells worse than a cat box.
Speaking of cats, we got a replacement finally. Or should I say she got us.
Morning all, looks to be another fine day in the making.

 

Mornin.

Me and JB still having a good weekend. Ate a huge meal last night, so good we just sat there and moaned while we were eating it.



Fall off the bone bbq ribs, fried zucchini, milk sauteed squash, and ranch twice baked potatoes. Homemade strawberry ice cream for dessert.

I think I'm still full. We were lethargic after.

Gonna go skin JB's head, then pack him up with some goodies and send him on his way.

Let's have a good week out there, people. Be safe.

 

And breakfast this morning... my wife is awesome...

Some sort of blueberry buttermilk pie with fresh sliced strawberries and powered sugar...



The first piece was good, but the second piece with homemade strawberry icecream on top... (didn't have any heavy cream to make homemade whipped cream)... smack smack smack...

 

Don't hate. I do have room to do bed and breakfast type deals...

 

Thats looks way too good. Now I know why your always running and exercising. A man could get real fat real quick with cooking like that..

,,,,,,

Have a great week folks!
Hat, thats awesome looking chow! MMmmmMmmm

The Break Room does have a foul fowl wet bird like stench to it. Normal.

Just like all the patrons.

I put some pepper in the Ph0o0 pot to break down the Shrew Fur, enjoy.

 

He is. Uh, I mean he could. Yeah, that's it; COULD!

Afternoon all.

Spent the day installing LED warning lights on the Escape trailer, dressin' it up a bit. Whelen is our newest sponsor and they gave us about $800 worth of LINZ6 style lights. I haven't messed with emergency lighting since I was refurbishing fire trucks before I left Massachusetts. It's amazing what they're doing with LED technology now. These things are brighter than strobes and all self-contained, no remote power supply or controls needed. They have 69 different flash patterns all by applying intermittent power to one lead for 2 seconds. And the heads have 2 colors all built in. I'm amazed.

 

Scott, I'm looking at some different applications for LED's Have you come across anything for driving lights that you can change the LED color spectrum instead of the lens cover color? I have seen this kind of application for staging and concerts but not for automotive. I think it would work well for flood, fog and rain with a swtich in the cab to select the color you want.

Also would like some high output bars...two for loading at the back and some out front, down low. If you have ideas or links, please post.

Thanks from the other, more furred and happy Scott.

 

It's been so long since I've been into this stuff that I didn't even know LED's could change color! I'll be talking to the Whelen rep this week so I'll ask if he knows anything.

 

Truth hurts sometimes!

LED's are something else. No power to speak of to run them, no heat, lasts forever, super bright.

Hair cut, cammies ironed, everything is done for the day that I NEED to get done.

Updates to follow.

 

That was for calling me old!

 

Truth=truth.

 

You two settle down or I'll track you down and tune ya.

Nuff said.

Stop tremblin' Hat.

 

Ok. So Hat is fat, I'm old and Scotty's just plain ugly.
