Managed to get the loose and damaged bricks all out and relayed today...Trust it was brutal and I'm beat down...Been dreading it though and it's done so GOOD!! Got the actual brick wall measurements so now I gotta design and order up the steel to support the new lid....Those brick walls are neither square nor level....For my next trick........

How to finish your day proper.....Sat down after I got all my brick laying tools washed and checked the phone....Old Unk whom I nicknamed Moochie had called and left the 911 call me back...He's the one who hit the tree in the road and was in possession of all my Grandad's tools...He bought a car last week against my advice....right side low beam not working due to improper wreck repair....Yeah it had wreck history on the car fax and Moochie bought it anyway as all he can clearly see is it's cheap....Moochie was following too closely and when the car ahead swerved to miss a transfer truck recap laying in the road....Yeah....Plowed it with his already sheety car....Now it's pulling hard right and has fender liners and such knocked loose....I draw the line at fixing improper repairs...They didn't get the low beam working and that's out front and readily visible....What do you think they did deep in the repair.....Moochie lied and said it drove great....His Son in law stated it was pulling right....it's pulling right hard now...a recap while capable of damage should not do suspension damage unless it's weakened from improper repair....Obviously it was....Moochie always asks advice and then never takes it....Looks like it's gonna cost him this time and I ain't helping....

Hi all!

DW and I did another fair round today. Due to very good attendance this year, they changed every day to $1 entrance fee, a nice move.

A bit cool, but otherwise a beautiful day. This was early afternoon, before the crowds started to build.

Very unwelcome visitor today...Hurricane Harvey....Hits Texas and STILL comes too North Carolina....SMH...The wind got to cooking a few times but the thunderstorms were scary at best...No damage here at the ranch and I certainly hope that dang tank didn't get filled up....Late word came to me that my fav Unk sustained downed trees at his farm and his recently deceased Mom's house...I'll be heading up there tomorrow to survey the damage and plan the clean up...Son of a ...............

Good morning all.
Dee I can relate. I gave my ex and son my old van. It had a water leak and just needed an o-ring to fix. Told my son I'd help him fix it, put the parts and licensing on one of my cards and they could pay it in payments. Then I find out they sold it. Hell I could of done that. Anyway they call for rides and I remind them they should of kept the van.

Hey Noties !!! I hope everybody has a wonderful holiday weekend.

OK... It's official, I am diggin' the Squonk!!! The pico squeeze came in yesterday. It threw on the Hadalay and it's working great. It's running @
.29ohm. I believe it is regulated with a set wattage, there is no way to change it.
Now the search is on for a dna 75 and a small form factor [emoji1360]

Yeah Old Slick always has the best looking drip tips I've ever seen....

Unk's farm had a couple of big limbs in the yard....I snagged them beeches with his tractor and hid "em in the woods...His Mom's house had three trees on it....Lucky as I've ever seen as one is all over the electrical service and did no damage....Two others are on the roof and looks like very minimal damage with both...The biggest tree that fell missed the house by inches...It would have destroyed the house...Best news of all is my old Buddyroe who runs a tree service is cleaning it all up Tuesday....

Cuzzo and Wifey celebrating 50 years of marriage tomorrow...I got "em a gift card to the Italian place...Hope they got cake and Moochie best not ask me about his ding dang car....

I just started looking at Irma. Looking like an active hurricane season this year :(

I'm restless, and ready to get this upcoming move underway. I haven't started packing anything yet tho, Katie doesn't know yet. I can't nail down a date until the ex gets back here, so I may just quietly start boxing up things down in the basement...out of Katie's sight.

Tomorrow is Katie's 84th birthday :)
