Nah Sean, I don't ever so politely say ANYTHING. There are many people, even on this site who could vouch for that.

Just finished moving oat bundles and stacking them, now maybe cut some firewood, we'll see.

Food will be a pork roast of some description, with potatoes and sundry vegetables. Irish. Meat, potatoes. Full stop. Everything else is just decoration. It may be cool and white outside, but at least it's winter.

 

Well,lol it is for our lightweight southern folk.

I'm 4.5 hrs west of Winterpeg, I mean Winnipeg.

 

Good Morning Ladies and Germs! Happy Monday!

Coffee is on and fresh Phoo for Bob...Bacon and eggs, fried taters and onions along with biscuits and gravy...fresh fruit and cereals if you are so inclined as well.

Have a SAFE week out there folks!

 

Good Monday morning to everybody.
Lary, thanks for the coffee and grub.

Will you guys up north please keep your chilly weather to yourself and not share. It is freezing here this morning and I may even need to put on a sweater to go with my shorts. Presently waiting for the sun to come up and warm this freezing air.

Just about killed my old lightweight chain saw over the weekend, so when I head across the border next week will buy a new and better one. Scott, should I buy a Stihl? Just took a look at that old chainsaw thread.

 

Man, I am with you, Stan. Cold out there this morning. Was on the lanai drinking my ph00 and looked up at the thermo - - - mercy -- - it was DOWN to 66. Cold, man. Blue skies, warm sun, cool breeze, orchids are really starting to bloom out there. They must like this cold stuff. LOL Heading to 75 today, 81 tomorrow, 83 on Wednesday - - more like it.

Off and running - - therapy morning. Sure hurts but hopefully helping. Refill ......................

Hi...
...Brrrbye

 

ok i was wondering cus my life is changing to single status and it was pointed out to me that if i wanted to drive truck now was the time to think about it ... long story short i found a 1975 dodge bighorn with an 855 ci cummins in manitoba thought id ask to see if i got anywhere with this crazy idea if you were close enough to look at it for me

 

Unseasonably warm in the mid 40°s. Tee shirt and shorts weather for us.

 

agree!! hit 50 degrees! heat wave. barefoot in the garden, still have tomatoes,peppers , onions, broccoli, celery. wowza.

been sealing all the gaskets on the jeep, and trying to be neat with that goop. have two jeeps that need paint.

quarter for bills and paperwork. my head hurts. have to do a grant by the 21st. my get up and go-left....

stan, safe trip. any results from the solar guy?

 

If what I woke up to is coming your way, you better haul over all hatch hoods and gun covers.

Woke up to heavy snow. Forecast is for 3-5". Got 8" so far, and enough wind to stack it up against anything you want. It's a major job to get to the boiler shed and stoke up the fire. I suspect it'll take 3 rail chains on the D350 to break out tomorrow. Tracks to the shed were half filled in by the time I got the fire stoked.

Skinned and quarter the two venison I had hanging last night, as temps here went below freezing overnight and there is no promise of it getting above freezing in the foreseeable future. I put an external temp control on a big chest freezer to keep the meat at 34° till I cut it up and freeze it. It ages a bit in there, too.

Freezer gave up the ghost years ago. Must be a pinhole leak in a condenser tube under the skin somewhere. It'll hold a charge for a month or two during deer season, so I charge it up with propane/isobutane. It takes 4.6 oz. of that mix vs 13 oz. of R12 I run suction side at about 7 lbs. Don't care what the high side is. Works good.

BTW, I like my Harbor Freight vacuum pump for the 2 or 3 refrigeration fixes I do in a year.

 

I think that system was west of me then headed south and east. Folks west of here got dumped on. This the season.

 

How much of that goop ended up on you and your clothes?

Yes, I did hear from him and now need to do some homework. After my second email to Capstone, finally heard back from them too and they want more info. I need another week this week to complete everything on my agenda. H-E-L-P!

It has warmed up here nicely and now at 25c and just a small breeze. It is just about lunch time, so am heading for the kitchen to make a big raw veggie salad. Need some of those veggies out of your garden. Oh-oh, that made me remember that while I was out this morning was supposed to buy a cauliflower. That is not the end of the world, but enough to get me growled at. Sigh. Honestly, I do have a fantastic memory, but it is very short.

Now leaving for McAllen, Harlingen, Edinburg area early on Nov 18.

 

Hi
After doing the heater core I found this under the dash and I cannot recall where it goes. Any ideas?
Drivers side by center console. Looks like some kind of switch. No engine light or codes.

 

Wow, neat - - - that hot up there??? Getting cold here - 4:30pm. Down to 71 - -probably need to close my window - - might get a chill. ......

Man, I wondered where I left that. I had it in my pocket when I was in your truck when I was up there in June. Goes on my boat. Thanks for finding it for me. ............

More ph00..........................

 

You better chill a bit, or you'll have another fiver in your yard......mine.
