Stories Lol
Yup , still cutting
Big sky day in December
Sure turned nice when the temps warmed a bit
But when I called it a day and went to leave
I found the one hole on that fairway that was't on the green Lol
Had to get a bit of help for that one .
a hole for one! lol, or is it better as 'one in a hole' ?
no doubt about it... the ST does have some swell pix....
nice pix! we definitely don't see stuff like that down here!
i had some new tires for one of my racers... and said 90 psi max... so i put in 90 psi max! nice ride! but blew out side. prob 90 was ok if not hot so Texas August sun. now i put in less...
They are amazing I've had one ever since I bought my house. Set it up in front of vehicles for repairs, woodworking, motor testing you name it thing is great.over by the woodshed? good eye. i saw the wood in the shed... woodshed perfect i thot! but missed the workmate. i see it. the workmate is quite a success story! i have one, tossed out to the curb one night after her late passed... surprised their son didn't want it... he has an auto repair shop. i hardly knew what it was, but it was a bench!

I measured the snow this morning and had 7".... They were all wrong!one municipality has 34 snow plows out working the area roads...
up at the U of W, Seattle there is a curriculum on the psychology and predictability of weather forecasts. as in if the prediction is 35% snow, what is the probability it will be and roads not 32f. or lower than 32f. ? as in, if above 32f, then road salt can be put out. and if below road ice froze and salt will not be effective. if the DOT puts out salt and it misses the target temps, conditions as in the forecast was not accurate, then those resources, time and effort wasted! the subject gets deeper than that fast... prob like some of the snow, too...
i guess a predicators predicator accuracy could be a qualification for job security! lol
In hindsight it was irresponsible but it was fun!
Thanks! I was exploring routes last evening for the next one...impressive ride and accomplishment! thx for sharing...
i will get out later today and ride. might go 7, one for the Griz! ~Thanks! I was exploring routes last evening for the next one...
beautiful day for a nice bike ride...
I looked at those and a few others. The BOB was the front runner... Now that the trails I maintain have been improved and I can get a truck in there it makes more sense to use the truck. When sections were basically single track the bicycle approach was attractive...
I can send you a box of Chestnut Oak acorns. My friend made some pancakes from them once, out of a book of ancient Indian recipes. I'm lucky to still be alive to tell about it. They were beyond horrible.
Over 12 inches here . Never changed to sleet or rain. And it’s a nice heavy wet snow. Had to back up the upper part of my driveway . And plow downhill because there was ice under the snow from the last ice storm . I probably should have put the chains onI measured the snow this morning and had 7".... They were all wrong!
In Western MD we only got a couple inches, and by the time I went to bed it was freezing rain. When I got up I ran my JD X540 with a 47" snow blower down the drive. Water was literally running down the drive under the snow. But, the air temp was 29. I turned around and started back up and made it about half way, in less than 5 minutes the water had turned to Ice. I'm running 200 pounds of ballast plus my 230, and that's not enough. The guys with tractors like mine say I need 6-800 pounds of ballast. Figure I'll load the tires, that's about another 80 pounds each. All the roads are down to black asphalt, shady areas may be black Ice. My Burnese Mountain Dog had an appointment for a hair do. They called at 8:02 to say they were open and ready. Nothing catastrophic here.how much snow is falling in the East? weather channel just posted up a blip:
the I-95 could become trecherous today!
headline is:
Izzy delivers snow to the I-95 cities n towns... up to a foot new snow in the Apps...
yikes!!
ps: this is not intended to be off-topic!
I picked up an old B&D work mate, that's all cast aluminum and solid top boards for $5 at an auction and liked it so much I bought that one at a sale a few weeks later. i left it on the back of my truck for a week or so in really rainy weather. When I went to get it, the fake, pressed wood, had all swollen up and fell apart. One winter project is to replace the top with 1X6 Oak fence boards.
- I picked up an old B&D work mate, that's all cast aluminum and solid top boards
that dates it as to being an early version
- When I went to get it, the fake, pressed wood, had all swollen up and fell apart
that dates it, too... a few revisions later after B&D had acquired it...
Crack me up. I bought a rifle I've been looking for for a while. It's a Savage 99A Saddle Gun in 250-3000. It's NIB, made in 1976. The guy I got it from bought it a few years ago, then health issue's came up and he never got to hunt it. When I told him I'd take it, he said good, it's yours. The next day he sent me a text that he had it at his gun shop ready to ship. I said I'd NDA him the check. I retired from UPS in November of 2015, and I could swear a NDA envelope was about $20. I almost had a stroke, they want $89 to NDA a check from MD to FLA. Next time I'm down your way I'll bring the beer, and some acorns!OK!
or, maybe instead just
