THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

Where's the coffee Tim?

 

What are you talking about Scott?

 

Good morning folks. Finally got some rain here for the 1st time in over a month. Needed it badly.....mother nature bestowed 2" on us in two days. Glad the weather man was right for once because just Friday evening I applied 100# worth of fertilizer and fungicide to my St. Augustine.....it's gonna go crazy now. Better get the Toro in tip-top shape cuz it's fixin to get a good workout.

Just got home from work.....tired.....and hungry. Biscuits are looking good.....they better taste good too . No coffee for me.....only sleep.

Later ya'll.

 

Hey Heidi, neaner neaner nea-ner!

It's OK Bob you can say it. Round is a shape too.

Tim, never ask Scott to explain anything......

Morning glories.

 

Happy Birthday Tim!

 

the others pay for the tow bill ..which in turn gets me a paycheck.... hows that for an answer

 

Morning folks, another rainy day in the Northland. Thinking about my next project instead of thinking about the projects I already have.
"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?"
Good question, I could use their help moving my next project.

 

Yup, Im about 90 airmiles from you and Its raining here.

Mmmm, One of my favorites (heavy on the sausage). Maybe a couple of eggs that the gravy can run into.

Ya know, if you don't fertilize or water the grass, you dont have to mow it. You can however still drink beer.

Yup. Like the people who left the gangs down south than start new ones up here.
I know you can't talk about it but I noticed one of your newest children (in for murder) goes by the rapping name of "D".
40 years ago he would have been run out of the State just for wanting such a stupid name.

Hey! Nobody ever discribes me as round. Besides, I really like pears.

Now Rick - - you know I would never even hint at such a thing - - ...........Not me - - - nope. ..............

Boy, this site was locked down at 5 this morning - - could not get it to open up the coffee house. Just getting back in from church and a huge din din - - ate way too much. Good though. Now starve the rest of the day and do a couple extra miles on the treadmill - - that auta do it.

OK, grabbing some ................and out of here.

Bob

 

Happy Birthday Tim!

 

Wheeew....sleep was good. Got a whole 6hrs of it....should be good to go for another 12hr shift tonight . Getting tired of this weekend night shift....it sucks!! Bark, you are right, I could just drink beer (which I did this morning while watching my grass grow ) but I, like you, am trying to cut back on that, thus reducing the size of the dreaded beer belly.

If I hadn't have had to re-sod my whole yard last Spring I'd probably take your advice about not fertilizing/watering. I guess my years of landscaping and irrigation have taken a toll on my train of thought about the whole situation.....kinda wish I was still doing that. Oh well, gotta scarf down some dinner and head off to work.

Later taters.

 

Evenin' all!


Nice and sunny here.At least until tomorrow. We do have a pretty good fire goin on out across the river from Salcha though.

Nothing there I can't talk about. Chandler is here for Murder 1. No Bail. Beat that girl to death and tried to hide it.(allegedly) Public record....

Rap names are stupid. Lots of them in here right now too.... Peanut, Big Nasty, Blaze and more..... Just plain stupid.... No where near as classy as "Tater Salad"....

 

woo hoo Happy Birthday to all the wild guys today!! (Tim and my bro in law)

we did not make it to the hill climb,old age kicked in and we did not want to be uncomfortable-so the bro in law and polite bikers called and some were staying over here (not the pros) afterwards. steaks on the grill at 8PM is a lil late for us but everyone is finally in their rooms, washed, dried and put away happy. (we have a big house).

busy weekend with out us planning a thing or going anywhere. nice to see folks having fun.

wild tough guy bro will not ride my bike, too much power he says. if he says that, it is gone....just clearing up paperwork and having the pro people advise me on this level of bike, not one to sell on the street.
stupid instant ambulance....not fun riding, no engineering thought of BALANCING power n torque. stupid california glory photo bike..

Bark and Ofc Marc- interesting timing that you spoke of gooping up the rubber boots on the machines....visiting bike mechanic was looking at some rubber/silicone boot parts I had and stated MAKE SURE you lubricate with DOT 5 brake fluid, never alcohol or gasoline as it makes the chemical process unchain, looks like swiss cheese on a microscope and failure or damage with one run. yup, harley, polaris, artic cat all had warnings in the service books

my disc brake guide pin had a rubber boot on it and we didn't know why, that's how that topic got started (and they love my ol police bike)

good times, good folks, good machines.
whupped today from yesterday, didn't do anything today and i still hurt.

got to get back to chores/fixing stuff at in laws place while they are on a rare vacation- so I can get back hurting for the right reason! this ain't right~

glad to hear you all post, keep dry with the Northern liquid sunshine.
Breakroom is not the place to spread fertilizer.....lol Lord knows it
seems to find it's way in here enough (where is chaikwa anywayz)

 

Good point. I had read something similar about the alcohol but brake fluid wouldnt allow the redneck repair stuff (permatex) to stick. Figure if ya use enough of it, the original part can get eaten away and you wont even notice.

In the 80's I remember the first time one of those clowns wanted me to call him by his street name. When I wouldn't he went off and kept saying I was Dissing him. Than he got mad after getting pitched into seg because I didnt know what Dissing meant.
Know what,,, I don't miss that stuff a bit. Glad you are still keeping em in there for us,, Thanks!
