well i found a problem today the dough nuts ran out and the big green box they store them in was empty this morn' guess the trash man was makeing a run to the police station.

 

looks like this place could use a scrub down.....

lot of travelling today for conversations not able over the phone. very tired mentally but the info was priceless.

BRUCE shortround, very useful site, thanks! I might sit in the stew for a while...good luck with that monster!

OLD DOG you alright? sunny days must really get you offa dat sack!
Get your calendar ready man....PM me

Bro in law REALLY messed up his back, so we are going back down tomorrow.
taking the back roads this time. cousin motorcycle MVA is doing better but will have less face, 4 lbs of metal in his knee, and lost two fingers on right hand all due to 72 yo lady who was looking for a good parking spot at a restaurant. I will hang out with hubby this time or just run the bulldozer, I PROMISE FIVER!! got a doctor convention Fri the 18th, and I can't wait for surgery. I will start without them...

ok, my mercedes is castrated (they disconnected the turbo charger. CA emissions and no parts) it runs very smoothly. I can no longer smoke MADHAT.......I am so ashamed....

evening...

 

What ya up to FO?

 

wishing I had three more days vacation.

I took a week off to replace some dry rotted siding and that turned into a longer job than planed. I should be wrapping up tomorrow, but its supposed to rain so it doesn't look like Im going to get the house painted.

 

That whole scenario sucks, but has to be done huh?

 

Yea, I guess. Im almost done tho

 

Night Shift checking in, all quiet...

Don, got the stalls just about finished, I'llpost some pics for ya tomorrow..

Heidi, yer suppossed to be on R&R.. that first R means REST si that you can RECUPERATE....take it easy will ya?

better go do somethign to make them think its worth paying me..

coffee is on, watch out for sleeping dragons.......

 

i was hopeing for some hot coffee, but the machine don't make that fast, i guess. i'll wait.

 

Well, it's on now. Kinda thick and dark.

Heidi, how can your car run, much less smoke less with no turbo?

Thought I was over this crud that I had last week, but it's back, with a vengance.

Not as cold as the last 2 days, but still cold.


Later...

 

WAKEY! WAKEY!

and you know the rest...

I have been up since 5AM resting. will finally do what I am told.
BUT couldn't resist cleaning in here and making fresh blueberry muffins and snausages.......used the toilet brush to turn ON the coffee pot for the diesel heads......chocolate almond roast for the more reserved DTR members.

MADson! eek, run that bug out! no fun. yeah, my lil QT car runs like a soccer mom wagon now, all smooth and quiet. CA emissions allowed a by pass, shutting off the turbo. I am guessing that if I head out West in August, I can rummage through a junk yard for the needed parts. mercedes has them back ordered going on three years now. had a GREAT talk with the mechanic who advised me not to put the turbo back on line as it could blow out a lot of expensive stuff. soooo I'll be the one keeping up with the golf carts.....

(let's see, if i am back here, that must be PA) in Pennsylvania
Hillybilly Heidi out

 

Hmmmmm, don't see any muffins.... stomach's growlin...
Busy morning. Just had an old guy on the phone awhile trying to bring his wife back. I'm sure she was long-gone, but he can at least tell the grand kids he tried. Radio shop testing emergency radio alerts on our primary without warning... got my point across to switch channels as he finishes the day walking in circles with part of his hiney missing. Had a motor cycle shoot off a ramp this morning, wondering if he fell asleep? You bikers be careful. Started another pot, dig in.

Morning all

Missed a couple of days and need to catch up. This work thing is getting in the way of me checking out all the forms and gabbing with all of you.

Looks like everyone is doing well. Chris how is the stalls going? Just saw the one pic looked good so far.Good to see the night shift is still getting here on time.

Mark take care of yourself, sounds like you need some RnR too. Some nasty bugs going around in places, lots of people off work. No the beer will not kill the bugs.

Heidi hope your cousin is ok, bikes and cars/trucks don't mix. Bikes always loose.

Have to run have a good one, drive safe and have fun.
