Morning all ....

Had to resort to pulling out the OLD laptop this morning ... lightning storm last night appears to have wreaked havoc on my work laptop AND the desktop one as well ... we can hear the dial tone but the computer doesn't make the dialing happen. Gonna be interesting to see if work makes me pay for repairs on their computer.

Bruce ... give em heck, shipmate !! Most of them boys have their heads so far up someones backside to focus on anything below their paygrade ... they need a good ol' boy like you to do a rectal-cranial inversion and show them what the real world looks like once in a while. You have the added bonus of being slated for retirement ... kinda like being half-loaded ... freedom to "express yourself at the drop of a hat".

Hope you all have a great Memorial weekend ... there is a reason we all get to celebrate it ... be sure to take a few moments to reflect on that fact.

Cheers,
PISTOL

 

morning, raining here, have to go put my truck back togeather, and then on monday were going fishing, hopefully

 

Nooner, lunchn and munchn time,
NW Houston 84*F and partly cloudy.
Afternoon HAT. Got a new name for furball? Who put them notes under is name
Almost Inde race time. Any guesses on where the race babe, Danica will finish?

Old dog, I thought you got Murphy a 1 way ticket out of town. Tractor might have to jack up the ignition key and slide a new tractor under it.

PW. If the desk top has a separate modem card that could be blown. Same on the laptop, their modems are usually built in. Sometimes you can slip a modem card it one if the card slots, or the new wireless that connect anywhere and use a USB port. "Gee boss, don't know what happend to the lap top, it was that way when I got here, didn't happen on my watch." Good luck Is this the new job you were looking at.?

Wife on the way home, gonna stop for lunch with her sister in Huntsville.

FO that breakfast shoul hold you till lunch time..

Have a good un, be save out there

 

that breakfast has held me off so far... mowed the lawn and still dont feel like I need to eat.

PW.. dont leave equipment plugged in during an electrical storm. especailly to a phone line.

 

My breakfast will hold me off well into the night.

OinK

 

Now that is not what Punta Dunta lady said - - she said you empty the refrigerator every other day. Hi Scotty, you little rascal.

Hi everyone else too. Busy day for a Sunday - -course part of the day was messed up watching some of the race. Poor Danica.

Busy couple days coming up to get out of here for a week. So, probably be a little scarce for a week or so. Ya'll be good while I am gone. Yeh, you too Scotty.

( Best Paul Harvey voice) And now... the reest of the story. Like this daddy? No, no... let me show you some more honey...

No donuts today? They run off again?

 

Oh, I have a few names for him... I also wonder who puts the titles under his name...

Dude, need to come stay with me for a while?
Thanks, Scott. I appreciate all your hard work in the breakroom.

Mornin, DTR. Had a really good day yesterday, me and one of my best friends went shoppin for him a new CTD... it's nicer than mine... he's already asking me how to bomb it... >insert evil smiley< I got plans for it... It was funny yesterday... the salesman was like, " This is out blah blah blah..." and I was like yeah, I know, it's got this and this and this, what about this, oh, yeah, it's not the blue tech, that's another 5k off... and this lift ain't right, feel that shake? That's the horiziontal stab... 5k miles and it's already bad...

He asked if I was a mechanic... I said not really. hehehe

Stained the deck on his trailer that I got for him a few months ago... Funny, I have been with him for his last few major purchases... although, he was the best man at my weddin, and he didn't stop me... why should I stop him? It's not like he can't sell it later...
Me and the OL are going to go grab a bite to eat in a few... cause I love her...

This is the truck...

 

Morning all, not much on the agenda today. Nothing worth telling that I wouldn't have to kill you for after I told you.

 

Late mornin' all,

Gonna hit 91*F in Partly cloudy NW Houston today.
Mornin' HAT, sweet truck. Would have liked to been a fly on the wall with your conversations with the sales person.
Kidletts back from Galveston with nice sunburns. A lot of un in the sun and surf.
Breakfast, polish sausage, eggies, pancakes and good
Watched most of the Indy race yesterday, it was good IMHO. Bummer of a break for racing babe Danica.
Mornin' JWBM Alan Hale SR. silent movies, and several Robin Hood movies. Alen Hale Jr.
best know as skipper on Gillagans Island.
Mornin' DD how ya been, it's been a while.
ChrisR fun when dear ol' dad can sit back and supervise and instruct the kids.
Redleg sounds like you been there, done that too.
The strorms that rolled thru the midwest took a heavy toll. How did you do?
DC, went by Dufur, but did not know where to find you.

Chaikwa, thanks for getting the coffee and all reddy. We must not forget what this holiday is about, thanks for the reminder.
5er, what is luring you a way from you paradise?
PW, got them computers back up yet? Good advice from FO on unplugging everything. Had a storm eventake out the DSL and fone line

Have a good un, and be safe out there

 

Hey if you would have taken the right turn there and drove back though there aways you would have been right at my drive way. Sorry I missed ya been so busy with the new job and cows its keeping me hoping I have been working 80hr weeks for the last three months and I am about shot.

 

Morning y'all. Hope this finds everyone chilling out and staying out of the sun. Temps and humidity running about the same. Got a four dayer. Feels strange since I haven't had this much time off, at any one time, in a couple of years.
Davey, the mill is going good. Ought to have the restoration finished in a couple of weeks. Got a bunch of goodies coming in this week for it. Since I'm converting it to electric instead of mule power, I've picked up a 165:1 gearbox and motor. #100 chain and sprokets to gear me down another 1.93:1, and a 10KW single to three phase rotary converter. The gearbox just happens to be a dark bule and the phase converter haze gray. Wonder where they might have come from. 3.5 hp@1750 rpm dropping to 2900 ft lbs of torque @ 5 rpm. Ought to do it.
Been busting hiney trying to help get the daughter and family moved into their new house. Just about there. Foeld lines for the septic system needs to be covered and gray water leach field/pit finished. Hopefully by next weekend. Won't know what to do with just the wife and me in the house.
Better go see how the brush pile is burning. Got a big one going in the shop/syrup cooking/mill shed clearing. Hopefully, around the tail end of October, syrup making will commence.
