Coffee anyone ?

Yesterday I had the best intentions to get through my chore list. Didn’t happen. Some of the day went to squaring away the guest bedroom. It now has our old “new” mattress that Hubbs couldn’t live with. I’m thinking that bed will cure us of repeat guests, absolutely rock hard and somehow lumpy at the same time. The Spanish Inquisition mattress (which no one expected) replaced a waterbed mattress that will never again see the light of day- hopefully. Planting and weeding today with low clouds and temps in the 70’s. Ah coffee. You understand me….

I hope your new “new” mattress is comfortable!

Hey Boss Man I will be late to work...
Why is that?
Oh I'm stuck in the road.
You mean stuck on the side of the road?
No, I mean literally stuck in the middle of the road.

OMG!!!!! I LOVED my waterbed. It was the best! Warm in the winter, cool in the summer....
If forgotten all about it. I can't remember why I got rid of it..

Was high of 50 yesterday, high of mid 70's today. Rained in the night, thinking of setting up cones, some hay bales around the corners and open up a rally track with this main road, raise some money to get it fixed or just keep it since that's what the county is doing with our tax dollars.

Got all but one of my "today" list done yesterday! I was a good girl Laundry all done up, line dried, folded & put away. Weather was lovely. Mowed along fence lines...about 1/2 mile of it !...looks so nice!

Enjoying my morning brew, then off to work.

Mornin. We got just under 3/4" of rain in the last hour or less. As the storm rolled in I watched the clouds lowering enough it looked like I could hit them with a rock. Neat to watch until they started splitting, then circling as they got right over us. I went back in and watched the weather. We're all clear now, just random strong rains expected throughout the day.

We used to have a ginormous book with all the campgrounds in the US. Forget what it was called - but it was a lifesaver in finding places. Geeze, I wonder if it even still exists - it was print.

They are hard to find now. I loved that book. They would show many campgrounds that didn't have a sign off the Interstate or show up on google then and now. I got funny looks the last few times I tried to buy another one. They just looked bewildered and said you mean on your phone. NO I'd then show the flip phone. I've noticed then and now you can't find many campgrounds and only select hotels on google. Good for an over night stay but I'm going to be using it for work for the next X # weeks/months. A few miles away from big city traffic twice a day can make a big difference.

Fridays Olympic event of swinging a 16 lb sledge trying to drive pin bushings on semi

I'm working on attempting to fix a trac on trac loader by pulling 1 link out. The under carriage is so gone the adjustment is maxed and the trac falls off when on a side grade. It NEEDS a new trac and I told him so.

9lbs is my biggest hammer. I've tried to rose bud then beat, I built a jig to put a 4 ton bottle jack hooked over the links and hit it with a rose bud, then max out the jack (which doesn't work well horizontally I know) rose bud again then beat the frame/jig with a short 2' handle 4lb hammer. (the only thing I could swing getting under the jig.) I welded a bolt to the pin (to hit) heated the link and used the 9lb, heated and 4lb back and forth. With all that I moved it maybe 3/32". Any bright ideas that work better @Weldman
I know they can be beat out with a heat and beat method. Not sure if it's extreme use has made that a no go or not a good place to get a good swing, along with me being a sissie version of my former self. I told him he'd be $$ ahead just letting me cut it off and getting a new trac. He just keeps coming up with ideas from a city guy with $ that don't want to spend it.
