Mornin all

Holiday today. Canada Day and I'm already off on a weeks vacation. Working harder at home than at work. Wife has me putting in a new fence. Mark I'll supply the beer if you can get past the border and find my place to do the fence. Have a few big trees that need to come down too. Don't want them falling onto the new fence. Job jar sure filled up fast.

Try to get some pics if one finds something to crush on it's way down. If it's me that gets squished she would be a rich woman. NAA she wouldn't do that... would she???

Fiver take it easy slow and steady, slow and steady.
Davey nice breakfast, now you have to go work it off.
ChrisR sounds like you found a really nice place. Was it one that got caught up in the below prime thing?
Scott how's Jake doing? All healed up?
Drive safe and have fun...Later.

outside of that, its outsource work.
If I had a jar I would never see the bottom of it. I'm scred of the jar idea. I don't need a visual reminder of what needs to be done around here.

What is wrong with my post? Wrong week? Do I have to go by that eastern time business. Start a new thread at 9:00 or sumething? I can't stand the pressure!

I don't wash my truck too often, I think the dirt has just enough adhesive power to keep me from leaving a trail of dodge parts everywhere I go. An, I tried waxing a truck once. Couldn't stand the shrieking. Now when the truck hair grow out I just shave it.

Coffee's a bit weak too, but I guess what they say is true... coffee takes on the traits of those who make it.

chaikwa.
Ill help you out a bit...

The appropriate reply is "But your dern close!"

Late Afternoon/Early Evening!

Just got home from work. Nother 11 hour day. It's good for ya. Good training as one of my Marine buddies says. Wasn't too bad today. My brothers OL brought her car in for service so I went out to lunch with her. Nice to see her. My brother is doing well. Talked to him today, and he's headin back to Gillette. Hopefully he can make it home for the holiday.


Just put some homemade meatballs and sauce together for some spaghetti tonight. Drinking beer, well, more than one beer right now. Grab a shower and relax. Life is good!


Glad to see everyone is being productive today.

Mark - looks like you got a lot done on your vacation so far. The sticker so you can bring the OL's truck on base? What kind of muffler you gonna get?

Well, gonna continue drinking my BEEER and catching up on the news.

Hey Marine! I bought you a beer. Come enjoy one with me.

Not quite but it's comin' along ok. I can tell it's still a bit sore if he moves it just the right way or stubs it into something, but the black nail is starting to come back a little. Thanks for askin'!

Only is you want people to READ IT!

Dang! You're GOOD!

Glad you got the 90 on your paper even if you don't think it was a good enough score for the time invested. I don't think I ever got a 90 in anything! What're you takin' up in school? (besides space I mean!)

Gotta bring the truck to the spring shop in the AM to get lighter springs put in the rear, so I'll start the coffee an' stuff if no one else has done it but I won't be able to hang around.

Later all.

chaika.

Evening all

Still alive and didn't even drop a tree on myself. Daughter took some pics but took the camera home with her.

Fence was a rail fence, took all the rails off and pulled all the nails. Not just nails but 6'' twisted spikes. Got about 12 lbs of scrap steel. Started pulling the posts with the skid steer. Works real sweet, wife wraps chain and up it goes. Sure beats trying to do it by levering them out by hand.

I'm tired, need to catch some ZZZzzzz. Catch you in the AM.

Morning y'all.
Another "wonderful" day in the Bat Cave. Some "clown" decided to do a surprise physical security inspection this morning. Refused him access since he didn't have a request for access a minimum of 30 days prior to the visit (per regs). Refused to leave so post security "escorted" him back to his office. Got to love some of these "self serving, basking in the light of their own self importance" idiot officers we get these days. 6 months, 5 days, and a wake up left. I can stand on my head till then.
As soon as I find my camera, I'll sent pics of the scooter. Had it 2 1/2 weeks and got 1200 miles on it already. Loving the mpg's in the mid 50's.
Anyone need a couple of four stage compressors? 7500 psi output @ 1.5 cfm. Limey built pigs so all the fittings are whitworth. 208 three phase motors.
Gotta git. Time to get turned in so the troopies can get paid.

Short(timer)round out

Mornin' all
NW Houston, 79*F Fair. hi forecast 95*
Prolly go to FT Hood today, stay over and watch Army son reenlist.
SR good job on the security of the bat cave. Soon you will be so short you will be able to go out a door without opening it. congrats.
Was up about 0600, whiner doggie wanted out. Have learnd let out or clean it up.
HAT nice job on getting the coffee started. I didn't get it set up last night. Chaikwa complained ystdy it was weak. Might have been my brew, a shovel of mud short. Think the reason he is scarce around here is his title is not on the breakroom this week. Cincy, take note of that
TOP that was funny sing to the marine.
04 nice pix
Ijobb nice did your project with out distroying things. Way to go.
Is JWBM on the road again. Or did I miss seeing her here?
Have a good un and be safe out there.
