From last weeks thread;
Not as early as it came yesterday!

What IS 'it'? And just how does 'it' become 'quite'? You're taking spelling lessons from Claude again, aren't you?

Well at work today I gave away some smoke alarms. And I don't have any projects right now. And I can't tell you exactly what I do for 'play' because it would be against the site rules. But I CAN tell you *someone* here would be jealous and I am ambidextrous!



Morning all.

It's Sunday, November 1st. (can you believe it's November already?)

On this date in 1765 - The British Parliament enacted The Stamp Act in the American colonies. The act was repealed in March of 1766 on the same day that the Parliament passed the Declaratory Acts which asserted that the British government had free and total legislative power of the colonies.

1800 - U.S. President John Adams became the first president to live in the White House when he moved in.

1848 - The first medical school for women, founded by Samuel Gregory, opened in Boston, MA. The Boston Female Medical School later merged with Boston University School of Medicine.

1861 - Gen. George B. McClellan was made the general-in-chief of the American Union armies.

1864 - The U.S. Post Office started selling money orders. The money orders provided a safe way to payments by mail.

1870 - The U.S. Weather Bureau made its first meteorological observations using 24 locations that provided reports via telegraph.

1879 - Thomas Edison executed his first patent application for a high-resistance carbon filament (U.S. Pat. 223,898).

1904 - The Army War College in Washington, DC, enrolled the first class.

1911 - Italy used planes to drop bombs on the Tanguira oasis in Libya. It was the first aerial bombing.

1936 - Benito Mussolini made a speech in Milan, Italy, in which he described the alliance between Italy and **** Germany as an "axis" running between Berlin and Rome.

1952 - The United States exploded the first hydrogen bomb on Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

chaikwa.

 

Mornin' y'all.
Been up for ages as I could not sleep, so got up and started working on all the 'stuff' that is running around for what passes for my mind. No snide comments from you guys re my mind, OK? Be nice, it's Sunday.
Just getting light here and a tad cooler than normal, but still very nice.
By this time tomorrow will have been on the road for about an hour heading north to go and feed your plummeting US economy. Hope you appreciate my efforts. It's about a 12 hour drive to my first overnight stop on this trip. My truck is ready and rearing to go. It will work on this trip as I am pulling my fiver over the mountains.

 

Careful sneaking up on Larry I here he gives out more than candy when you scare him.(Where is that little smiley face with a gun when you need him)

 

Morning DTRonians.

Just made my rounds resetting all the atomic clocks that didn't reset themselves last night.

It's a sunny 45* morning. We might go look at leaves later today. Got some pretty good fall color here at the moment.

Truck is still hooked to the travel trailer from last weeks travels since we arrived home late last night. I need to spend some time figuring out why I'm loosing power. Doesn't pull as well in 5th as it used to. Only 294K on the clock so it can't be worn out yet. Maybe a valve adjustment issue. Haven't done those in a few thousand. Probably need to get the injectors popped too. Haven't done them since I bought it back at 169K. Anyway, gotta get ready to take the trailer to Tulsa this week to stay in while the wife goes to the Dr and then get it ready for a business trip to SE TX the week before Thanksgiving. Of course it will get used at Thanksgiving for visiting family followed by another business trip so lots of towing in my trucks future. Still got a new center link sitting here waiting to go on it too.

Also have two cars sitting here waiting for me to flush and winterize the cooling systems so lots of things to keep me out of trouble (or get me into it).

Enjoy your extra hour today if you didn't already sleep it away.

 

sloooooooow start to the day, way too tired from hunting hard......... got one to cut up today, been hangin for three days and thats enough. fiver bob, didn't realize ya grew orchids, my dad has about 650 of those things in his greenhouse, always something in bloom. I get to text in later and see if we have any work lined up for Monday, if not, I just may go hunt for a big one !

 

Your lucky I was asleep...

shhh... your making too much noise...

 

It's not what he'll be giving out, but moreso how he'll be giving it out. I know it will make it to your tummy, but it will bypass your mouth...

Good day to all. Just dropping in to assure that I'm above the dirt. Just don't have the extra time right now. Keep it clean in here. Ooh look a Dew in the back of the fridge....

Chris

 

Great Job, Fellas! nice to hear from all points! even ones with pointy heads...

wow, lot of mechanical stuff going on-good luck with that.

nice to hear about the fussy orchids, worse than a woman- did I say that?

took a nice five mile hike up (12 waterfalls) in one of the state parks near our home (we have three near us), sun shining and sparkling Nov weather here. hike down was laughable, wet leaves on frozen stone gets a little slick.

football, baseball, and a little relaxation before this election kills me.

 

Nascar Amp 500 Taladaga Televised On Abc Now

 

They had to cut the roof off Ryan Newman`s car but he walked away >

 

Well, they has the typical Taladaga wrecks. I'm not much impressed with this style of NASCAR. Like Newman implied, back off some of the rules and let the drivers race; of course, I'd prefer to see true "stock" car racing. What they run has no connection with what's on the showroom floor. Guess that's why I like the local dirt track better.

 

thay have ruined the sport> i have followed it since Lee Petty was driving >(ah that is Richards dad ) its getting like wrestling >scripted ! (well almost )
how is the new linux ?
