Good morning from wonderful weather Paradise. Could use some of the rain from up north and further north. Boy, some of you really have had a drenching. Fires, floods, big winds everything. Seems like the weather is changing everywhere.

Nice looking ride there Scotty. Now, do you think that you can keep this one clean and not mess it up? At least for a few weeks.

Thanks for the replies re my 220/110 question. The 220 does have a neutral, but no 4th wire ground. Even tho is is a royal pain in the you-know-where, am seriously thinking about biting the bullet and running another 110 v line. Need some extra outlets along that route anyway. BTW, the so called 110 volts in my area normally run 122 volts and at home it is normal to see 128 - 130 volts steady. FiverBob, the power has been cleaned up here a lot and at least in my area, we never see any surges. Even power outages are few and far between, even during storms.

First time in a long time that I have had a lazy morning. It feels good. Going to shower soon and then maybe head out for a short while, but no major running all day as I have been doing for weeks. May start that again tomorrow. Or may not.

Heidi, 'bout time you started to listen to us older and wiser guys. Welllll, maybe not so wiser when I take a look at some of the dumb things I do. Robert is probably the wiser one.

Gratingz lol
The 2500 was an awesome truck. However, just not enough gvw/stability for what I do.
This became a straight trade. Both parties are very happy with the outcome.

I'm told by my daughter that this truck is White Lightning.

I miss my 08......... Someday.... Nice truck Scotty!

However, I DID get the surprise the kid next to me this morning. He had some kind of import with a tall wing and phart-pipe. No traffic but him and me. It was fun! (don't tell the Bride)...

Gooooodth day tooo all. No rain yesterday so I got to work on the roof of the RV in the hot sun. YUK. Soaked three shirts and four sweat bands. So hot could not apply silicone in the sun - had to wait for near sunset.

Interesting - - lots of people came thru breakroom today - - no coffee - - no ph00 - - no sprinkles - - no nuttin. DUH. OK, be that way - - made coffee and ph00, but no sprinkles. Suffer....................................

I wouldn't mess around near that girl of Scotties - - she will do you in quick before you know what happened. She can run circle around you faster than you can spin. She is quite a gal.

Off and running - - be good.

Ever had one of those days when nothing seemed to work right or come together? That was my day. What a wasted day! Sigh. Hope tomorrow is much better.

Must be something wrong with my new computer or my understanding of Windows 8.1 because I thought I read that Heidi hired someone to do some of her work. Nah, can't be.

Wish that I could figure out a way to adjust sprinkler heads without getting soaked. At lest it is a warm day, so the job was not too unpleasant.

Time for some Rooibos tea and maybe some cheese and special whole wheat crackers.

Another early start tomorrow.

Chest waders - - a rain coat - - swim goggles and upside down snorkel. Come on, man - - use your head. Creativity. Imagination. Ingenuity. ..................

Going to bed early - - tired and sore from too many days of 10 or more hours of hard labor. Can't wait for vacation to start.

Morry,

Bob

Good morning. Hot water mixed with fresh picked lemon and honey is ready. Added a tablespoon of unfiltered apple cider vinegar for extra health. Coffee and ph00 is ready t00.

Bob, your advice is soooo helpful! Guess I am just not into Creativity, Imagination and Ingenuity like you. Maybe once I get as old as you????

Looks like another nice day will soon be dawning here. Hope that wherever you are, that it is also a nice day.

Been up now for over an hour and was going to hit the road early. Changed my mind and instead am going to try to take it easy at home today. Taking it easy is a difficult task for me to actually do for very long.

L8tr.

Good Morning! Thanks for the hot pick me up Stan...that was yummy.

Taking the Grand kids to the range today for some large caliber fun...having the ability to protect themselves in an emergency used to be considered common sense and still is in my book.

A tool is only as good as the person behind it and a gun is just a tool.

Get some rest Stan you earned it Bob, you too big boy Heidi...as you were

The rest of you delightful wacko's ....Have a SAFE day!
