Come and get it you diesel sniffers. Out on the counter and ready for you to come and sit a spell, spawn your yarns and gossip a bit.

Spawn? My mama told me to never do that in public. It embarrasses people and they get all mad and stuff.

Today's thought:
Before the invention of the light bulb, most people slept 3 hours longer than we do now.


Could get interesting here this afternoon. We are in the high risk zone for tornados and very high straight line winds. Glad I didn't ' get to', (meaning I didn't bother), all the leaves in the yard. Now they'll all just blow away.


Nice. The old guy comes in, ridicules us all then doesn't make coffee!

With some luck we will have the pivots done tomorrow, then we have a couple hundred acres of dryland corn, and we'll be done.

Got the amigo clutch adjusted about where I want it. Had a idea on the way back to the shop, instead of pulling the clutch pedal (again) I just loosened the jam nut and turned the push rod. Brought the disengage point right up about the top of the pedal now. I need to turn it back down a little.

There's a guy that joined Mike Rowe's (mikeroweworks.com) group on facebook and his first post was a long rant against the very thing the group is about. Pretty smart, huh? His next post was insulting one of the guys who was on the show and is involved with the SkillsUSA competitions and such.
No wonder his first post started "let's see how long I last".

trolls are a weird bunch. the good ones, you really dont know if they are just trolling or if they really believe that way.

Hit the big ZERO this AM. Time for some moose nugget coffee and my special cup that's always 2 turds full.
Been trying to get a cheapo Jeepo running as a commuter. Had a few more problems than the guy fessed up to. Got the heater working now.

got caught up on last weeks breakroom.

couple notes,

tallguy, an MLA agency is an agency that has a preference for being identified by an MLA instead of their name. An MLA is a Multi Letter Acronym.

Bark, at the time of that photo, there were 3 more in the 6pack, I got two left now.

This guy apologized for us reading his comments wrong, then is telling us we assume a lot, but won't click on our names to find out anything about us. Typical eat-the-BS-pie-and- like-it-we-weren't-lied-to-even-though-its-blatantly-obvious union flunky.

Good morning all y'all,
FO - thanks for the explanation. Being an IT guy, I am a common user of TLAs - three letter acronyms.
It is a good Sunday morning, the storm has moved east so it is probably annoying Scotty now, but for us, it is out of here. It is a little brisk here today -4F / -20C. The poor little puppy was not impressed with how cold his paws got when we went out for him to do his business this morning.
We are heading to the city this afternoon for DW's birthday party with her family. Luckily the roads seem to be recovering from yesterday's madness.
Have a good day everyone.

Notice I said "union flunky" and not "union member".

Hole eee sheets! Where'd that come from?
Sheets everywhere. Big ones small ones smelly ones slippery ones and even cozy ones.
Bobby must've had his bonded sheep in here.
Storm blew through. 8" of snow shoveled and blown into the neighbors yard.

Hanyday fokes.

I just read about the tornadoes in the US. I hope all of our folks are ok.
