And "normal" is a setting on a dryer. So are you permanent press, or just "fluff"
Another gloroius day in the sunny little world that I dwell in. Or something like that anyway. Cleaned out the cab of the truck a bit, got a full sized garbage bag load out of it. Man, hasn't been cleaned or properly organised since august, it was starting to smell worse than me.
Repaired a skidsteer loader, put the hydrostatic transmission back into it. Now I find out it was towed, and took the left drive motor out, pushign full pressure right to the tank. Might have been good to know this in advance.
Otherwise, all is well, temps are cooling a bit, but we've been above 0C for a week now.
Have a good one people.... and chaikwa

Last week Fluffy Tasmanian Devil and Spike Koala Bear had been locked in their lockers. If that hadn't been bad enough, the bullies had banged on the locker doors causing big headaches for the pair.
The week before the bullies had taken their lunch every day that week. Usually they threw it in the garbage or ate it themselves. Fluffy and Spike were getting so afraid of the bullies that they didn't even want to go to school.
"We can't stop going to school," said Fluffy. "But it is time someone does something."
"But who?" asked Spike.
"I don't know," answered Fluffy, shaking his head.
At recess Fluffy and Spike went down the hall for a drink of water.
"Look at who's here," said the worst bully of all.
"It's Puffy and Spook," said another.
"Let's go for a little walk," said the first bully grabbing Fluffy, while another grabbed Spike. They were pulled to the janitor's room and thrown inside. Fluffy fell against an old mop and Spike tripped over a bucket. It was dark inside and after the bell went, silence filled the hall.
"Everyone has gone back to class," said Fluffy. "We will be here until noon."

"I don't like the dark," said Spike.
"Let me search around and maybe I can find a flashlight," said Fluffy. Fluffy ran his fingers over the shelves, but only found cleaning supplies.
"I want out," moaned Spike and then he began to cry.
"I think I've found something," said Fluffy. He had felt the jacket of Mr. Brown, the janitor.
In the pocket was Mr. Brown's cellphone. Fluffy pressed the button and the numbers lit up.
"Who are you going to call?" asked Spike.
"I'm calling the local fast-food place and getting an order of fries delivered," said Fluffy. "I'll have it delivered to Mrs. Gray, our teacher, to deliver it to us here. I will tell them to tell her not to tell anyone where she is going."
"You are so smart. Will they deliver, do you think?" asked Spike.
Fluffy called the local fast-food place and told them what happened. "I know it is very uncommon for you to have an order of fries delivered, but seeing the situation, could you do that?"
The manager of the local fast-food place said he didn't like bullies either and said he would deliver the fries to Mrs. Gray personally. Within 15 minutes, the door was being opened and Mrs. Gray helped the two animalsout.
"Who did this?" she asked. "I want to know immediately."
Fluffy and Spike told her how they had ended up in the little room, about their lunches and about the locker incident. Mrs. Gray tapped her foot as she listened.
The bullies were suspended and when they came back, they were ordered to do work around the school. The other animals were told to tell if they were teased again by the bullies and peace was restored to the school.
