[QUOTE=irocpractice;3048460]I actually hardly ever got sick when I was Active.......Any virus tried to sneak up on me I just Uglied it away with a big ole grin I do remember the stuff along with some go fast pills they used to hand out like candy as well

I get more colds and stuff now with Grand kids in school, than I ever did before...they bring all kinds of stuff around here and of course when they don't feel good I have hold em tight and rock their pain away

I used to stand in the shower stall with my baby girl on my shoulder for as long as the hot water would run at 3 am to give her some relief from her respiratory problems...croupy coughs and such sure are tough on the little ones.

I so hate to see the little ones ill...I would take it all myself if I could keep them from getting sick....

Hey Shorts,whad we know??We was young,dumb ana,ana fulla.....Now,47 years later things are a little different.

 

Yep...at our age we just want a reaction...ANY kind of reaction

 

got some folk medicine books from 1812....interesting reading to say the least. nice to know it was written by folks in their 80s...have no clue where they got some of their ingredients...

Seneca Indians sometimes still use pine and birch sap boiled, dried nasturnum ground and mixed into it. one elder plainly said; "you don't want that, your government puts you in jail ". appearantly it tests positive for opium. all righty then...

played with survey and transit, put t posts in. nice sunny day but forest too wet to have equipment in. had coffee with favorite neighbor, he shot a deer yesterday from our land, we get most of the venison. they had bought the property up for sale-no new neighbors YAY! good day all around.

alright sickly DTR members.....sending sunshine and hot soup your way....

 

Been back in AK for almost two weeks but had so much going on I couldnt check on some of my favorite asylum escapees (ya, you guys).
This last trip was great until my Dad fell on some steps and broke his hip. He was finally well enough to leave alone with Mom than I had to come back to AK to assist my Father in-law.
Got back home, de-winterized the house, that night a major windstorm knocked out power to us for 60 hours. After two days I destroyed the generator because I am stupid.
( https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d-t297956.html ).
Finally got the power back than I crawled into bed with a bottle of Tussionex, a case of beer and a barf bucket. Crawled back out a week later 10 pounds lighter (really!) but no wiser. That was the worst cold I have ever had.
Anyway, things are almost back to normal. Today I smashed in the remaining tail light on the plow truck backing into our light pole so I know my driving skills are as good as ever.

???? No Way! I swear that kid was just born a month ago. Where does the time go---

 

Add two more casualties the sickly list. Our Lab has come down with the runny poops today. That's terribly uncool. And DH caught my cough.


But DH got creative. He made some chocolate mocha thing that has rum and whipped cream and cocoa and coffee. I shall be floating soon. I had already started sipping on some neat Jameson.

 

Gonna try to put the second one up Sunday. It was crankin out juice last night in all that wind. But not a whole lot. The inverter was drawing off the batteries and the generator was keeping up. I still have another $2K to go to
complete the electrics though. . .

Get that Medium better.

Trade ya heads. Yours is harder and younger

These are permanent magnet Generators. It's all sealed ball bearings. It's the "lob" between the fields causing the noise as it turns chunky. You know what I mean. Those magnets are pretty strong. Since it's hard bolted to the house and U Bolted to the brackets, it just transmits all that noise right into the house. I am going to take some neoprene and wrap the pipe where it clamps together. Going to vulcanize two layers together and then run a ground strap to the frame. 2nd question. . . I have earth grounds all planned out. I have one rod in already and have to sink the 2nd yet. There are lightning arrestors available so I may invest in one of those to protect the power plant.

Reaction Apologies wasn't thinking

As said. . .SSDD. More crap got thrown on the fire today. Just what I needed

 

Thanks - you too with your what-nots.

 

You suppose it's just a coincidence that he made mocha stuff the same time the dog got the poo's?

You keep sayin' you're broke, but keep comin' up with more money for the projects... what's that all about?

And smarter... I ain't the one hangin' out under an anvil.

Evening all.

One more glorious day in Sayreville and we can LEAVE!

 

Goodnight all

 

just doing a bed check on the DTR nurse rounds......

need boots appearantly......not cincy's either


Bark, glad you are back. I feel completely graceful and competent when you are around......lol

 

Ahhh But I've been buying this shtuff for 2 years. It's been nickels and dimes since I started installation in May.

I've tried running from the anvil but I feel like the Coyote. Hope that Anvil is made by Acme. If it does fall, it won't hurt.

You are so close to me I can smell you. When you go home, go all the way up the 287 to 87. That way you'll stay down wind of me

Wish we could meet somewhere. If you are taking Rt 80 west, PM me. I'll catchup with you up here. I live 2 miles off 80. If you get in trouble, shoot up a flare. Fix ya right up.

 

For those who may want to know todays Saga

I have some snake out in Colorado who is trying to weasel his way out of paying 16,000. He lied to his lawyer, all the evidence is in my favor. His lawyer sends me this letter claiming the customer lost $250,000 because he broke the raid array messin around. He was on the phone with my engineer when it happened. I was in ear shot of it all, watching the engineer shake his head in frustration with this guy. The guy is a know it all.

Fortunately, we record all these conversations, so we simply sent the file on a CD back to his lawyer with a copy og his letter and "NUTS" written across the letter.

I'm supposed to be dealing with professionals. But they seem to be all gone.

When a guy sits on the phone and brags about all his credentials, I know we're in trouble. We should have said go someplace else. There was a day when we could do that.
