It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Lovely day down here in Paradise. Managed to goof off for much of the day and not do any real work. Even had time to read for a short while.
Cougar, know the feeling all too well. It must be one of Mr. Murphy's rules. BTW, have changed many an aircraft engine by myself just using a tube crane and a hand winch. Largest / heaviest by myself was a P&W R1340.
Just spoke to my kid sister in Australia. That is a long, long distance call. Fortunately the local phone company has recently started world wide free phone calls. Love that.
Keep Lary in your prayers.

Hey Shorts, good to see you. Are you still on your weekend or have you rejoined the "normal" folk? Are you going to bed tonight at about the time most regular folks go to bed?

Howdy Stan. Back in the work week and negative on the schedule. I don't think 'normal' will ever be used to describe it Lol. As it is, it feels very late in the week. That ain't right.

new computer screen.
Top, replied to PM but could NOT get it to send. stuck in cyberspace and not liking it. trying again but message is the same: we love you; that is so beyond awesome to hear and (#1):heal, do what the good doc tells you.
we will hold down the front door of the fort.
mexstan, glad you got some "me" time! yes, my camel friends in Alice Springs and Tazmania are priceless but the phone time is not. we use the internet but it is spotty and the hours are confusing. I have to say Brits and Aussies have to be THE MOST hospitable folks across the board. I am humbled. Stan, you are a remarkable lad working with those stone propellers, lol. kid sis , wow.
just when I take the one ton and trailer for work with RR bridge beams, I get a call. third time in a row. but this one needed cash, no questions asked and an hour drive away. took the bike, spent some time doing 'normal activities' with the person. food, courage and back home at dark (it is 35 degrees on the bike ride). I don't have that much but sometimes you see someone who needs it more. spent some time just being human and that was okay.
Reminds you not to be an idiot.
jeesh, did the town girls kidnap NEscottyfarmer? hats off to CReynolds(Lord of the Plains), Fronty and my Traddy!

JWBM, 35 degrees and you are riding a bike. More power to you. 
Stone props????? Hmmm. No reason for you to be humbled, but thanks anyway.
My sister has been living close to Darwin, but is in the process of moving way south to get away from the extreme northern heat and dust.

I'm the voice in the dark, Stan. If it's dark, I'm there
JWBM, thanks for the perspective on things. And good to get out with someone who needs some time.

Good morning fellow DTRotarions ,
Just a thought , if west coast drought is so serious , why not a simple retrofit of all homes & hotels to make use of grey water from bathes & showers .
from what i have read it is actually beneficial to plants and could help agricultural needs .
It certainly wouldn`t be cheap ,however it looks cheaper than other alternatives.
Just a thought from an old guy that don`t know much !

Surprise? how about shock. If it doesn't happen today, it won't happen for another week or longer. Pilot heading for AZ tonight and weather turning bad through mid next week.

Good morning all - - gorgeous morning in Alligator country, but some clouds moving in for some showers later in afternoon. Kids are off on another adventure today to see sharks and other water creatures at Mote Marine. They had a ball at the beach yesterday and were blessed with some of our very tame dolphins swimming all around them, rolling, breaching, coming up and grinning at them - - the kids went craze - - so did mom not knowing what was going on - - daddy, he has seen all this and just enjoyed watching the reactions.
Put some coffee and ph00 on - - - too late for much else, but enjoy.
Off to catch up from bedlam in the house. Those twins are something else. How can four hands get into sooooo many closets, drawers and doors. Sure glad we kid proofed what was in them.

Greetings eh.
Talked to Top yesterday. Heartfelt down to earth chat about wearing underwear on our heads and levitating.
Look up High and Pray for our friend.
and the hospital staff.
I'm back working on trucks. Last night crawled out from under mine, leaned off creeper to my right side, pressed off the ground with right arm, shake shake, snakey when I realized what I was doing and it went well. Very pleased I could push off and up like that. Used left side next few times. Feels excellent today.
