Good morning reoville, my girl pinned a letter to my chest when I woke up I was greeted with, "Morning Boo, I made your coffee that you asked for but you went back to sleep. I'm teaching the morning class so txt me if you want, may not respond. DISHWASHER is DIRTY! Love, Boo"

I guess she wants me to do the dishes, weird sense of humor you women have and why do I sound like yoda before I drink my first cup of coffee

Trunker washer jedi - on switch unfriendly; paper cups and plates stock of used. Change none. return same.

Gil when you wake up buddy, big thank you for the atty from me to you. I wasn't expecting vapemail, let alone the free kind by friday. Howdy folks, I think we need to all start our conversations on a clean slate, like little house on the prairie, because of the congestion earlier this evening.. I'm loving the vape porn Nurz, Fresh, and westy. We're off to a good start. Don't sweat the quality FS, the vape porn in the shot makes up for it. To me, quality is only important in visual guides, things like coil building for example. Super, I agree and if we're knitpicking I would have liked the wheel to not be so recessed, same with off switch in the vvg for us dudes who still bite our nails. I thout a saw a light that was red behind the wheel when it's on, why not drill a hole so visually indicaticating it's on. Of course all this is easy to say since I dont know the amount of work, rhyme and reason, that goes into building quality

i'd just buy a few different thicknesses of cord and a splicing kit. In a bind a bit of superglue and a Stanley knife will make a decent o-ring. Buna is fine for things like gasoline etc. Be aware that metric o-rings are measured differently - most American ones that are standard will be denoted as 2-230, 3-330 etc with the initial 2 or 3 being the thickness. Metric ones are the thickness followed by the inner dimension in millimetres - so 3x24.

If you have a few hours to spare cos ECF takes 30 mins to do anything in future - try http://www.parker.com/literature/ORD 5700 Parker_O-Ring_Handbook.pdf

The meat is in section 4 and so you measure whatever you are putting an o-ring on and match it to the sizes there. I know this cos it's what i do all day!

$13 is not bad Nuts, but i'd never use them all.

Talking to an old gasket maker here T...spent many a time making flange gaskets (remember using a ball peen hammer and a sheet of gasket material?) up to 28" in diameter while a pipefitter in a petroleum tank farm. Most common size size were 6-8" for them refueling hoses for loading oil tankers where gasket cutters were used. Had large orings as well iirc 10-12" diameters for valve flanges. We'd spliced them and use plug grease to hold 'em in place inside the grooves, if the correct size oring nut available.

I was hesitant to buy the set as you mentioned for the sheer quantity of it but I have wasted so much time and money going to stores and nut finding the proper size oring and if they had one it was usually overpriced. For convenience sake this set will do me well :)

Cutesy, yes, but I have to try to even out all the "Happy Caturday"s:p. Good morning, REOville (and goodnight, Nutz)!! I washed more dogs yesterday than I have during most any month:p, but it was a blast (for the most part). We only had one mutt who was really not a happy camper in any which way. I volunteered on a big traveling dog-washing van, and I'll definitely do it again soon. Because of my dumb stomach, I don't get out enough, so that, alone, was a lovely change; and even wet dogs are wonderful. Great that your flu is already on the way out, cappy! I hope Tim and other Reonauts on the mend wake up feeling better. Have a sublime Saturday, all!

...to put you all in the right frame of mind for the day......




Speaking of buzzards. Wildlife report. Going out my drive way, last part, where neighbors solid fence and trees on other side form a narrow chute, and have to go really slowly, too, because three multi vehicle houses share the chute, (one house parents drive so fast in and out they've even hit their own car savy dog)...... anyway young RoadRunner jumped down off neighbors fence right in front of me and glad I was going <5mph. Kapers, hope you get to see some of our CooCoos. It's a treat.

Then a few hundred yards up road a single scavenger was feasting on probably a smushed squirrel, right off the side in grass. I slowed down almost to a stop just a few feet from it. I'm pretty familiar with our local birds but this one was different. (And not ugly enough to be one of our guys.) Dark, solid brown, large, but head was not right for buzzard. Big enough to be a large eagle but definitely not an eagle. It just looked up at me for a short gaze and continued to dine, not flying off as is usual. Probably one not normally here and either passing through or may decide to stay. Global climate change is changing patterns of lots of animals.

At any rate, fun bird day, first couple minutes going out.

Speaking of birds and wierdness. This week I've had more close call collisions, while driving, with several types of birds, than all close calls added up for about 20 years. Remember I'm in middle of protected habitats but not all have been really close to home.

WIERD DAYS!!!!:confused:

Hugs, Feisty Alice

Oh yeah, good morning Fine REO Folk. Have a good and safe day. I'm hoping to catch a few more hours sleep.
