Looks like it use to in here huh.
Just reading about j Martins computer chaos puts a smile on my face, the boss at work told us some time ago that they will get a new computersystem next year, if they do, I have no doubt that they will goof it up.
Weatherguy says it'll be stormy tomorrow, and then rainy and slightly colder, I'm still waiting for the snow, maybe that'll be a while.
Gonna grab a cup of this aahhh.

Hi gang -- - back from the woods. Fun seeing all the wild life out there. Had two gators in the pond - - amazing the tilapia are still there. Some nice size ones. Good too. Had an extra cow in the pasture. Seems like the bull from next door did not like our bull - - ours somehow got across the fence into their pasture. Popped a couple wires down to get our bull back and this extra steer followed our bull. Could not get it back home. DUH

Not this week, but next week will work. We may head up to the house in NC the week after Christmas. I have not had any snow yet this year except the few sprinkles on the way to Alaska.

OK, how did you remember I would be home today. Wow, you are with it. I am grabbing my ph00 and go jump in the shower. Tired, dirty, stinky and heading for party tonight - - better get presentable or the Mrs. will leave me in the car. .....................................

Later gators,

Bob

Well, the pull behind mower turns out to have a "gotcha". It has a Briggs 13 HP I/C on it. Hooked a battery to it and hit the key. one revolution and "clunk"! Popped the valve cover and find the exhaust spring keeper loose, wear cap laying in the bottom.

Pulled the plug, gently tried to rotate by hand. CLUNK! Put the parts where they belong, CLUNK!

Guess I'll open it up. I can see the piston moving through the plug hole, so I'm betting the cam has let go.

Bummer! (And Loretta asked again why I drug it home!!)

You could tie it behind your ride and take it for a 'spin'.

Evening yall.
Action packed day. Glad to see the week close though. I'm mentally exhausted. I shall sleep. Sleep. Sleep I say.

JWBM, sorry about your hurts and the wasted trip to the Doc. It's pretty lame people flake with no regard for their responsibilities.

Chaikwa good to see you.

All the fellers, there's cookies on the counter.

Shorty SHORTS!!!! good to hear life has found you a playa! hope the radio calls keep the engines and coppers relaxed wondering aboutcha. lol
so good to hear from ya, well on the way for some fun!

Saw ADMIN Tim sneek in last night, stay safe and keep skin on yer knuckles.

interesting on the results (sherod, JM, Fiver, Scotty, Stan) nice to share in the breakroom, where others can say " yup. I hear ya". been there, still frustrating, then laugh.

simple snow shoveling off a couple decks felt better than any medical phone calls this week. with all the Christmas lights, I think I'd be better off doing my own MRIs......

Slev, sending you New York's finest snow.....

learning different media transfers. and fighting a pop up blocker.

here is my brother in law with his second buck, first a four point at 230 yards. then this record (he won't get it scored or mounted) at 30 feet and looking away from him. the brother to this buck was not symmetrical and had a spread of 54 inches, that guy had it mounted. NY/PA line, literally outside the back door. 3 1/2 years old.

soooo, if you think things are going badly, remember that fate turns on a dime.....
a Christmas present for all ewe hunters....

Tore the head off the engine on my "good deal". Found bits of metal chunks floating on top of the piston. No hole, a few dings. Pulled the valves, no broken edges or bad dents. Said "what the heck" and put it back together. Now has compression, but still didn't fire up. Told Loretta I'd help her in the house today, so guess I'll let the shop gremlins fix it for me.

broken rings make a nice clunk as well, think I will open this barn door and grab some tools....... don't need a light, have my own internal beacon- just point my finger and shoot some flashing green and red light at the motor, shhhhhhh
