Burbble, bubble, cough,cough, spit......coming up for air. I'm getting a bit tired of all this rain. Can't get anything done, grass is waist high, garden is mostly underwater. Got the seed in raised beds during a 4 hour respite last Friday. Can't get close enough to check em out now, it's soup down to the plow pan.

Clint, you give the phrase "flying fingers" a new level of meaning.
BTDT. Suffered through the winter with cold finger nails (Stainless pins) after a fight with a radial arm saw. Be good and get healed.

Shorts, hope you ain't too hung over.

Bark, been there, done that. Just be sure the new freezers aren't wired to one of those new fangled GFI, or worse yet arc detecting breakers. A little shrew doo on a connector shouldn't cost a freezer full of meat. Wiring it past the meter with the grow lights might be overkill, but understandable. I had a freezer in the garage warm up when gone because one of the kids decided the way to turn off the night light in the bathroom was to push the little red button on the outlet. Yep, the garage was wired to the bathroom GFI. A wire nut behind the GFI fixed it.

Dug the old rice burner (Honda Accord) out of the grass and fixed the rusted out fuel line. I'll get an intermediate pipe to replace the row of rust left on the ground when I pulled it out. Other than scraping a years worth of bird doo off the windshield, it should be ready to go. Runs pretty good on gasoline that smells like ****.

All that to put the 93 D350 in the shop to get a bunch of work done. It isn't quite as bad as Sherod's, but it piddles green from time to time. Going to put in a Mishimoto high performance aluminum radiator in. While I'm at it, I'll tab the KDP, find and fix the transmission cooler leak, replace any soft hoses, put in a water pump and thermostat, and clean up the mess last year's venison did to the plastic front end trim. Then I'll throw in a new set of stock injectors, discarding the smoking crap (SACS) I paid big bucks for at CPP and molest the IP for max reasonably clean power.

Gotta get this baby tuned up. Mama wants to see the grand kids, and most of them live west of the rockies. We pull a home and the bass boat with us.

What's with the empty doughnut boxes?

You can blame Scotty for that........He told me we were having a donut eating contest this morning and I ate 3 boxes before I realized he was pulling my Leggs!

Feeling kinda dizzy now and think I will go jog around the outhouse a couple million times

Well, one thing fixed (I hope)... Just ran a quarter tank of fuel through the 08, EB on, worked the poo out of it. Seems to be running good now! Maybe I got lucky and caught it before it REALLY stuck.

Now, to tackle the 89...

JWBM, Doc said I can't jump anymore. Kinda wishing I could...

Ahhhhhh...drinking a little Milk of Amnesia I see?

PM me a mailing address and I will send you a sample of some Mountain Cure all/finger nail polish remover ......just don't light a match any where near it

Scotty, sorry about all the rain. It rains here every afternoon. The pool keeps getting close to overflowing. And I have to scout the pool before I jump in, keep getting snakes in there I get the shivery icky feeling when I discover I'm not in there alone

If that's when they turned off they were off for almost two months.
A lot of the stuff was vacuum packed but the smell actually permeated the plastic.
And a lot of them produced gas making them bulge even after they were re-frozen.
The ones that had exploded were the most interesting.
Luckily I had canned most of the salmon before we left but we lost all of the cold smoked salmon.
Oh well, live and learn. Going to make a good freezer alarm this time.

Good advice. My Son in Seattle learned that the hard way.

I thought they just watched the houses thru FLIR to find the hotter ones. Mylar will only go so far.

Morning yall. Looks like an early morning around here. But not one of those hard early mornings, one of those nice easy early mornings. That's a good Saturday.

Top, great spread, thanks. I'm going to run through the line a few times

JWBM, kick up some saw dust
