CHIT CHAT in VOLTVILLE

[marlou]

It was already 90º here at 10 am. I wish I hadn't even checked the forecast....a high of 104º. One hundred and four degrees??!!!

But tomorrow a cold front is going to start pushing this 'dome of heat' off to the east. Possible storms but then......temps in the eighties! Might have to break out the sweats. lol

Morning!!!!! went to disney yesterday with the kiddies,,,,,,,talk about HOT UGH,,,,,,,,spent the whole day dumping water on ourselves,,,,,Disney has a new water section and that helped,,,,,,,if you could stay wet, it was ok and the kids were so cute! we gave them all some $$ to spend and they had fun doing that,,,,,,,we left before them though. 10 hours was enough for my back, I was amazed it did that well.

going back to day, I think,,,,,,,,,Hope everyone has a nice day!

Yep LOL i know it sounds like its not but it is. I should be doing 2 sets of 15 reps of the combined exercises i chose, but Im only doing 1 set of 10. Target is to work up to a 60-90ish min workout next week. In my younger days I used to do weights 5 times a week for an hour... I want to get that fitness back.
Wuzz I'll think of you as my inspiration, good on you for keeping fit!! thats quite an achievement for your errr bracket (if you need to thump me aim for my toes, they dont hurt) LOLYUMMMM I love figs, but not jam LOL. Oooo enjoy the picking and i hope you get lots.

LOL @ my bracket. No thumps from me. I have to do the cardio thing mostly for my breathing. Other than that I can do near as much as I could 20 years ago. I think the physical work I've done all my life is the main reason I'm still here. I'm actually pretty proud that I can still get out and do a days work at my age, or bracket if you choose lol. I've been thinking about increasing my workouts as well, especially during the summer. My health insurance provides a free membership at the Y. I go twice a week and have some equipment at home. Fall I get plenty of excersizing cutting and splitting my firewood.

I've done a lot of work at the mouse trap. Never went as a guest. Ever been to the Wilderness Lodge? I don't know how much of my work is left there but I put all the hardwood floors in it when it was being built.

Sitting here at the game and just realized my 78mm auto is activating by itself. Good thing I have my volt carrying case and extra batteries

Wow, that stinks. It usually means liquid in the switch. Takes a lot of flooding on the semi sealed ones but not impossible. Anything leaked severe?

YES, we stayed there a couple years ago for a few days! and then we went there for dinner last October,,,,,gorgeous wood floors!!!!!!!

 

[CommaHolly]

Oh, DD and I took 2 fully charged batts to Disney yesterday,,,,,,,and our PCC, and we didn't even need to use the PCC 2 fully charged batts lasted for more than 10 hours!!!! (Of course, we weren't vaping the entire day)

Thanx. I wuzz there almost a year. We were starting to sand and finish them when the place got flooded from heavy rains and a leaky roof. Had to tear out over 5,000 square foot and start over. It wuzz one of them most interesting jobs I've ever been on. The place is pretty unique. I watched them build the creek that flows out of the atrium and the geyser. The Imagineers were really tweaked out on that one. All the colors in the floor are different specie of wood. Not stain.

POPPED-IN . . . Just to say, Mornin' since I am still trying to wake-up . . . More Coffee PLEASE ! ! !


First - Glad everyone enjoyed their morning coffee I left and the spares "Cindycated" had on hand too . . .

Oh and did I say - MORE COFFEE Here PLEASE ! ! ! Very Long NITE ! ! !


As for "The NITE" - Was a little strange going though and reading some of the other post in the SI Forum - some were real strange and even some SO WRONG ! ! ! AND - Hopefully, IMO - those who only come when it is advantageous for them to get something "free". . . instead of getting some helpful information and "share" their experiences using "The Volt" / their "life" like most of "Us" Volties/"Voltians" do . . . or it seems to me - just want to cause trouble - that they will just stay away . . . Again, Just "My" PERSONAL Opinion and

OH BTW: "Wuzz" . . . What else did you expect "Me" to post last nite for a "Video" . . . This one:

​

Hey - as for different work shifts - I actually have worked them all, including a split week day (8 - 11 AM then come back & work 6 - 11 PM - ) and all I will say is I mostly enjoyed either 8 PM - 4 AM (Bartender) or the 11 PM - 6 AM (Dinner) shifts, because most of the time You were you're own Boss (that is if You weren't the Boss already) . . .

Well - I Gotta Go . . . Need to check on a Friend's House who is in "foreclosure" (No doing of their own) and get things ready for the next week since I will be away again next week for a week . . .

See Everyone Later . . .

No, completely dry.

It's like the switch is stuck

Bummer man. Hope it's new enough to still be under warranty. Be careful until it discharges completley though.

Good place for it. They usually don't give any trouble but I guess as many as they produce there's bound to be a failure once in a while. That's what the warranty period is for.

 

[CatLady007]

Wow, Wuzz. What is (was?) your profession? Everything?

I've only used that battery once so out of the 12I have, not bad. I only returned one other and that was because it had a very airy draw

...that you can coat uncooked french fries with a little cornstarch for BAKING and they come out every bit as crispy and delicious as fried ones?

Yum, just learned this trick today! Eating some now!

 

[CatLady007]

You mean the frozen-type french fries? Or does it work on fresh-cut fries? OR BOTH??!!! that'd be awesome

I've been in the flooring business since 1963 until a couple of years ago except for a couple of excursions. Mostly self employed but I have hired out as a superintendent on several occasions. Woodworking has always been a hobby as well as an occupation.
