wow, lots of folks asleep at the switch, mussin around and readin, knew something was missing, but by the time a caffeine molecule bumped into a functioning braincell, you got this thread goin. humid start to what could be a wet day, t storms supposed to roll through on us mid to late day. I hope to have time to help out a buddy re install his air horns. reinstall you ask ? yes, he just had his frame replaced as his truck was not quite totaled....... I get to finally toss a back rack on my truck to help me tote my canoe, and other stuff. All goes well I will also help my buddy get his software straight on his smarty and make sure he is running revo, and not the tnt program, then customize his settings also. btw, if you are reachin for the garage door handle and miss, don't use the crack between panels to close the door, it hurts like crazy, top it off with having to drop what is in your other hand to open the door and get your fingers back

 

Good morning! Thanks for the sweet tea. Looks like its gonna be a lazy day today. The gf and I are going to wash and wax her car and later watch the Sox/Cubs game. Maybe I'll get out and mow the grass before the game this evening. No offical plans for the 4th yet. We're thinking of going to the big lake and watching the fireworks from the beach, you can see the big ones Chicago sets off.

sorry, I was up till 1 finishing up my kitchen. the wife has only been nagging me for a year to finish a few details.

 

Good morning.

Just grabbed a cup of tea and set another one next to my sleeping wife. Let the dogs out for a spin and they opened the door to come back in. Pretty quiet here, but smoky air from all the fires.

Gonna wander on over the mountains today and spend the night in the desert.

Probably just have a relatively quiet 4th with family and a few friends.

Hope you're all doing well and having a little fun in spite of all the stuff going on!

 

Mornin, John. Good to see you here...

FO... naggin? Never...

Really? No kiddin.... oooh, I bet that hurt...


Matt, sounds like a plan, we don't have any good fireworks around here... Can't even do them on base, not in city limits, either...

Fooling around, not doin to much. Just had some breakfast sausage and V8... pretty good.

 

Mornin everyone

Day is starting out rather nice. Sun is shining and not a cloud in the sky. Slight breeze and the boids are singing. It's going to be another hot one, for us anyway, 31*C. Good thing we had some rain awhile ago or it would be like a tinder box around here.

Played with the JD last night. Getting the hang of the controls. Need to ask the mechanics if there is a way to lighten up the controls. Seems like it's hard to feather them especially on the boom, up/down.

Did some spraying for weeds last night, good stuff that the farmers use. Followed the instructions so I should get a good results.

Didn't realize what time it was, need to get ready for church. Have a good one, Later...

 

ok, she has been subtly reminding me daily....

 

I'm pretty lucky with my ol, she does not nag or complain... I really mean that, too.



























She just beats the out of me till I do what she wants with the decision maker....

I'll post a pic in a few...

 

well i need to go find a spring, a small one for my trans. apperently they can shoot across the shop and get lost in the metal chips by the lathe, hope someone has something useable?

off for a quest, to find a spring.

 

Nooner all,
NW Houston, 89*F, about the same as Ijobb has for temps. 40% chance of T-storms. Alwaysworking(up a sweat). Hot up where you are. You will find the lost spring after you get a new one, and clean up the shop. Murphy told me that.
HAT, thanks for opening up the breakroom, I tip toed by it late last nite, dragon was snoring and blowing smoke in the corner. Purdent student wanted me to get some snacks and milk for her, so I did.
Like the whack with the 2x4 gets your attention.
No big plans for the 4th. Watch the fireworks in the neighborhood, and surounding areas.
FO as long as you are home don't think you will ever get the job jar empty. If you ever empty it, new ones show up like magic. Never fails for me.
mikmaze OUCH
Raspy the desert in AZ was an amazing place to be at night. Clear sky, moon and stars, and the sounds of the wind. Never slept out on the desert.
Old dog, got the M F tractor fired up yet.?
Blue3/4 nice way to spend the day, enjoy it.
Have a good one, and be safe out there.

 

i found some replacement springs....at home depoe in the foucet section, there slightly stiffer and stainless, now i can go back to work, i hope i dont loss any more. off to eat lunch...ribs...and then back to work

 

Think about dinner time
NW Houston, rolling thunder, looks like it fixin' to rain. But the rain will be warm.
Pistol called and he is in town doing things that need to be done when moving to a new town.
AlwaysW, when your done the lost spring will appear like magic. That is how it works for me. Will the stiffer springs change the way it will work? Good thinking on finding a spring. Trooperthorn would polly have one.
Have a good un and be safe out there.

 

Good afternoon, got the GFs car washed and waxed, took her to lunch, and did some running around. Got a new tool bag for the truck to keep some tools in. My old one took a beating over the last couple years and the other day it finally let go and tools were all over the inside of the bed. Grass never got mowed, I'll save that for tomorrow after work. Looks like I'm cooking out for dinner.

 

Evenin, DTR... been drinking beer all afternoon... bout to go play with some tools... Nothin power, don't worry!

Matt, I gotta wax the ol's new truck... that thing is gonna take all day...

Just chillin... Hope everyone is having a good one!
