Hope everyone enjoys the rest of your weekend and hits the next week right between the eyes !!!

PISTOL

 

Feeling this morning.
Throat scratchy, achey, and pegging zero on the get-up-n-go scale.
Looks like it's gonna be a Theraflu day.


Back to the sack..........

Y'all B safe

 

lets see, coffee sugar injection pump is on the fritz, gotta manually imbibe... goin down slow and coolin fast. Beautifull day outside but tired after last night bein short ...... might go out and track down a rattle I picked up during level kit install and then check polarity on speakers......

 

Feelin' like Shovelhead myself this AM, less the scratchy throat. Started coming on last nite and was hoping it'd go away by the time I woke up. NOT! At least I'm not

Was supposed to build new suspesion mounts for a 3 axle trailer yesterday. Got the thing flipped on it's back, then noticed all three axles were rotted thru and junk. That ended THAT project real quick. Guess it's a good thing, considering how I feel today. But now I'll hafta wait on 3 new axles before I can do anything with it. I HATE waiting!

Yuk, even the coffee tastes like poo. If life were like a computer, I'd just reboot!

chaikwa.

 

Here's a boot for you (insert boot kicking hiney smiley here). Hope today go's slower. Busy as heck yesterday. On top of that, it's the first of the quarter so all the sex offenders are comeing in to verify their address. They're already stacking up this morning.... at least the honest ones are. Guess i'm the only one by a fax today... been waiting for it to kick on..... stomach's kind of growling.

 

ok, its 1:30, Im up... what did I miss?

 

Well I'm taking my first break today. Got the cord of fire wood I cut yesterday split and stacked. Swept the chimney and dumped the ashes. Going to give the saw a once over for next weekend, got one more to go. I got behind in my get ready for winter chores due to my 25th anniversary party last month. At least I got all the hay picked up and stacked last weekend. I might catch up yet.

 

Of course I'm feeling better this morning.......
Mondays ......arrrrrrrrrgh!

Waiting for another Ebay "win" to be delivered to finish the G-G.
Won a brand new, still sealed in the original package, part priced at $186 at the Harley dealer for $22.50 on Ebay.

Gonna find the BioDiesel station near the Pentagon and try a 1/2 tank-o-B20 this evening.
I need to get down to Stamey's house and get a barrel of that B100 from the Bio plant in Southern Va.


Y'all B safe,

 

Good Morning DTR'rs

I'm not use dto being up this early on a Monday. The BOSS made too much noise getting ready for work today.
Flooding is the big news around here... some place got 10-14 inches rain yesterday, and a few of the local creeks decided to come out and play. Fortunatly its all 15-20 miles north of me, but I feel for those folks.
they got half the roof on the barn before the rain hit, now its a swamp out there, dont know if there's goin be any progress made for a day or two.
is good, bisquits are in the oven, ought to be a decent day for a Monday...

Yall have a good one...Ed let us know how the B100 works out fer ya...
Chris

 

Mornin' all,
Glad you are back to normal Ed.
Nuthin' like waiting around on Monday morning for a plumber to show up .
Put my commode back yesterday morning and there was a tiny drip where the flush valve goes through the bottom of the bowl, everything else was cool. Took off supply line, repositioned flush valve, reinstalled supply line, turned cutoff valve back on and water is streaming from the supply line (thank God is was past the cutoff valve). The builder put in those piece of crap stainless corrugated hard lines that have no flex in them. I kinked it when I removed it. Now the valve and all needs replaced. Saved $150 by removing/reinstalling commode myself, now the estimate to get the plumber here to replace the cutoff valve and supply line (with something flexible) is $142.

Rob, if you were able to replace the commode yourself, the supply line should be a piece of cake...and I dont understand why the valve would need replaced if the supply line was broken.. are they soldered together? usually they are joined by a 1/2" commpression fitting that simply unscrews to replace either the valve or teh supply line...you can pick a supply line up at most hardware/homebuilding supply store for a few dollars.....why pay the plumber?

 

I was afraid that when I removed the valve from the short piece of copper sticking out of the wall that I might hose something else up (I tend to over torque things) and have to keep the water cutoff at the street all day yesterday until this morning. I called one plumber who works on Sunday, big $$$, as apparently they were trained by the Pope and they install solid gold fittings. I decided to wait until today. Right now, I only have "single valve protection" from the street supply, as that cutoff valve is builder junk. I lived in fear all night that that cutoff valve would let go while we were sleeping.

Maybe that can help.... all you ever wanted to know about toliets and repair/replacing....

 

You have to remember that rob works with things that you can't see. Piping and such usually has things going through them that can be seen and felt. Knowing how the surface navy trains their twidgets, he is probably way out of his element.
However, those of us that were members of the part of the Navy that plied the depths of the ocean, do know how to handle things that are seen and unseen.
Piece of cake Rob. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Clear stuff goes up, brown stuff goes down.
