G'night DTR

 

Night Matt

 

Yup, I know em all. I worked there remember. There is a real nice stretch of gravel road that not too many know about that follows tight to the tracks w of McBain. An old freighthouse on the tracks still. I know some nooks and crannies west of Cadillac, in the hills too

 

OK - - - WHERE IS EVERYONE - - OUTA BED - - KICK THE SHEETS - - HIT THE FLOOR - - BANGING ON CAN LID.

Yeh sure, just the morning I really need a cup of java no one is up, especially that maid. Claude and Don never go to bed - - maybe they are blind and don't know it is dark out!!!

So, I just put on some coffee, some ph00, hot water, brought donuts, begels and cream cheese - - now, get up and join me.

More company coming today - - mercy, ma - - just when I am thinking we have an empty nest here they come again.

OK, grabbing some java and hitting the road - - have a gudurn.

Good morning DTR. off to work, gonna take the scooter in today, no doubt it should pour for the ride home! Supposed to be around 80* with sun till late afternoon, who knows, maybe I will go past the yard and ride for the day. Anyone want to go?


Tims off to change a gear housing on the front of a DT466.




Have a salubrious day everyone.


Tim

 

well Tim, salubrious is better that pederasty....

could fire up the Harley with ya, even the hubby's bike is all done painting and went out for a unlicensed test spin.....

hey REDLEG, wait on your paint, i'll be out there in August for a pro....hehehe
I'll send ya pics of the detail on the hubby's harley...his brother wouldn't believe I did it (and yes, with a spray can) always use a gun though, can'
t beat black paint at high pressure! key for a good build up, two fine coats each ten minutes, one medium coat after that. solid work.

Matt, enjoy! listening to you n the 'maters- got same in the garden and up on th edeck but started from seeds. little smaller than yours are now..
gonna put one in a plastic bag for growing and see what the difference is...

ok, just when life gets normal, hubby is goin out in scuba to clear out the cattails, I am not that aggressive today so i will control the boat traffic and
just use the row boat to clear them from the water.....in our pond. how many drivers can we stop today? the fun never stops...


Tim, vroom rumble hic rumble rumble hic
wait up! my '85 police bike is ready to blow off work too!

Heidi grabbing helmet...

 

Sheepish???

Morning.

 

Afternoon all...

Just checking in before leaving Panama City Beach, FL.

 

the only cedar I see around here is the stuff for trim.

the 30# felt, you mean like the stuff you roll out before laying shingles on a roof?

Debris could be an issue, because I want my deck to run parallel to the way water flows off my patio.
I could lay the furring strips along by the wall of the house then tie a couple board together with a gap under the decking boards for water and debris to run off...

I dont know what I wanna do, the concrete of the patio is hot in the summer and is rough to walk on, its kinda like the surface has been washed off or erroded away. its not broken or cracked other than where it meets the creek brick wall going into the yard.

 

Exactly. The "not in the know" call it "tar paper." Some builders also use strips of 90# roll roofing - - heavier. There are also some new vinyl rolls that are being used. If you have enough room to use something like a furring under the deck at say 12"oc, I would use the 30# strips. When protected like that, it will last a long time.

 

Good to hear from ya travellin' man! FLorida- no escape from the heat.hope its AC all the way...

only hiccup with roofing paper (ice dam is stronger) is that the wind blows, dust settles, stuff gets ground up on deck from normal wear-anyways- you get fine dirt on the paper which gets sun and rain and starts to grow things.

we built a 'clean out' or a drop down panel for a porch that covered an old driveway. it was higher than your situation by eight inches. worked nice once a year to hose out accumulation and was held by magnetic closures like marine cabinets would have.

build the surface and height you want, just leave a dummy facia board to remove or fold down uphill of the clean out area deposit site.

removed 10 feet shoreline of cattails, very thoroughly entrenched. one tractor load and one tired hubby in an hour of work. good enough pace when it is over 90 degrees. needed harley part, went and got it (100 mile roundtrip or so) storm blew in on the ride back making garbage cans go horizontal. will be back in the pond getting the nautical bouy out AGAIN from earlier this morning. how can 75 pounds get blown over 20 feet ? sheesh!

wish me luck , got to go be political tonight

Heidi getting spiffy

 

sitting in memphis having my BBQ pork nachos and sam adams...

surprisingly, no one at the blue note cafe recognized me...

I would rather not have things growing thru my deck, but being cement, and not very steep, I doubt anything will stop it...

 

No one recognized you or ACKNOWLEDGED you? Big difference!
