Morning gang - - ran by to grab a ph00. Over at the REC center to use the wireless. Made trip to NC fine and relaxed yesterday to chill out from horrible back. Cool and sunny - - little different than home.

.....................

Later,
Bob

I learned from my mistakes, so I always keep a recent boot disc and back up. If anything goes wrong, it's just a plug and play fix.

Morning all. Coffee and ph00 is hot and ready. Hopefully somebody else will donate breakfast a bit later.

Been reading a lot about Windows 10 having a lot of security issues. Anybody with W10 discovered that? Not going that route yet and will wait until I hear consistent good reports.

Worked long and hard yesterday. Finished my compressed air line system and it is now operational. Now working on modifying some of the electrical system in three rooms. Got one circuit split into two and have a good start on a new line and another new circuit for a bunch of plugs.

Gotta go. See yuh.

Just arrived home. Hungry. Lunch will only be ready in an hour, so hope I survive until then.

A friend sent me this video yesterday and it made me think about some of the DTR members who in tne past have made comments about their weight. Can anybody relate to this?:

Does anybody know what I can use as a substitute for high temperature oil? Need it for my exhaust brake. Can't seem to find find it anywhere, Mexico, USA or Canada. Been using a 50/50 mixture of ATF and SAE 30. Been wondering about synthetic brake fluid? Will this work?

Going to hit the recliner to conserve my energy before lunch.

Got lucky this morning. Not in a good way. We hauled a cow with a bad foot to the vet's with the calves. She adapted to the concrete and the rubber pad glued onto her foot where they fixed it quite quickly. I missed a step going over a panel after she spotted me trying to close a gate behind her. Got my left foot pretty good. Felt like she folded it in half. Luckily just sprained the ankle and lots of bruising.
The woman I've been talking to is from England originally. But she's married to a real piece of work. Knows she should leave but is afraid of having to take care of I think 7 kids herself, between hers and his and theirs.
He even put something on facebook about how a good wife will pamper and coddle her husband and keep his house clean and cook him dinner because he's had a hard day. In the middle of her 9 hour shift as a bartender. With a band that night. The same day he traded a $3500 siding job for a (third) car for her that she really doesn't need, instead of paying the rent.
Kinda wish he had been standing beside me at the time.
Don't see any future in it but she is fun to be around and really needs a friend who's not just trying to get some.

Hopefully this pattern ends at 2.

I don't think I ever looked good naked.

Maybe the janitor will swing by sometime now that it seems he's just finished up a major project.

Good morning from Paradise. Lovely morning downing, so come and enjoy the coffee and ph00 that I prepared. Where is everybody? Maybe the smell of the coffee will pull some of you (ewe) out of bed and the woodwork.

I know that some of you sometimes wonder about where I live and why I live here. Could be because it's nice down here. The following will perhaps give you a better idea of what things are like down here. No, I do not live in Mexico City, but my city 3 hours away has similar attractions.

Mexico City must have really, REALLY got better since I used to travel down there in the 90's................ They took you straight from the Hotel to the Plant, and you didn't dare leave the compound while at the plant.

I will say, I could freely roam the area near the Hotel though, so perhaps that is the part they are speaking of.

Monterrey was almost the same way, not quite as bad outside of the green zone.......

You can roam freely wherever you want in most Mexican cities. However, like many cities around the world, there are a few neighborhoods that nobody should venture into. There are no compounds down here.
