    Coffee anyone ?

    Opossum is great, soft shell turtles are even better and frog legs are something to die for. Just make sure they are warm to the touch if you get them off the side of the road ;)

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Was going to use a wood post, but someone chopped them up for their garden. I could of done better though lacking supplies. Little bit of brake cleaner, an actual dedicated stainless steel wire brush and doing it out of the wind would made things better. Should of, would of, could of, but...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Ah yes, my welding skills with aluminum in 30 mph winds that most won't know how difficult that is especially with weathered aluminum. It's going to be buried 4' in the ground.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    You know how hard it is to find guinea fowl eggs over 10 acre spread across two ravines looking in every sage brush and juniper tree trying to find them. Got the first 40 or so then they got smart and started moving to where know one knows. After 4 or 5 days we found them, all 28 of them in one...

    Coffee anyone ?

    It's a "Oh BTW here is rain" day here. As that's what the weather is famous for out here whether it's snow, rain or wind. As the severe weather is hitting or just weather then they put the warning out or the correct forecast "sometimes". Was going to get the well going, guess I need to find...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Condensate inside? Never had that problem with mine, holes in walls are no big deal, just finish over the last ones include blend them in and same with new holes. New holes in walls is only bad when going through brick, concrete or wall studs. Hell all mini splits are mounted on exterior walls...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Should invest in mini split, very efficient, can do multiple rooms with multiple units to one compressor and can do supplemental heat too. At one time I'm pretty sure I could either keep up with you or out run you, don't know your age, but if I were to get back to running if we matched age for...

    Got the loader back together, filter changed on the transmission, topped off hydraulic fluid on the transmission, just need to grease it up and release the beast to wreck havoc.

    Not in operation yet so the brakes were on. I was tasked with burying the junctions of where the wires met that connected tower to tower. I got hired on towards the end of the contract and they canned me for not being fast enough within a week working there. Never again.

    Derecho you say, I was in an excavator when one hit. I made sure to flip the excavator around and anchor down. I can feel it rock the excavator. I thought the field was on fire when it first started.

    Coffee anyone ?

    I make sure it's at least 0800 to 0900 hrs before I crank up my machinery, especially that Cat 977K unless it's an emergency. You know a mile before it gets down the road it's coming as your coffee rattles off the coffee table. Going to try and get it together today and get ready for this...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Yeah especially when most hate each other, others don't know the other and I don't like most of them myself as they don't like me either. What is going to be the real challenge, I'm going to try and reign in the crazy one using her boy toy and put a end to this shenanigans.
