Went back and looked.....nice pants and sweatshirt too!!

 

When I was in Western NC it surprised me how many streams that were trailings for mininig companies and they had to pay restitution to clean them up went with Muskies. No way they could make it down South... Yeah they did big time

There was a 6 footer under the bridge in Asheville, NC on the French Broad. No one ever caught it that I know of. 1,000 casts per muskie may not be out of line. But a white lab rat with a treble hook tied to it sitting a cedar shake shingle pushed into the back eddy and then pulled off it struggling, just saying

When I retied from the Navy more than 25 years ago worked most all the vertical markets as a consultant. Was in the days of Business process re-engineering and Dilbert, the cartoons were spot on even my oldest son loved them. One of his favorite which I now have in the reloading room



My father was a truck driver and my grandfather a mechanic, watched the whole progression a long time ago in the industry. Used to have some heated discussions back in the day and grew up around it.

Where I work for the last 20 years the needs of the patient come first, period it is pounded into us. Kind of like the military where I retired from so can accept it and actually like it. No regrets. Pay cut, furlough without pay sucks. And hours are unreal since this crap started, will ease up on the 12th at least think it will for me. But have to keep the lights on too at all costs.

And the needs of the patient come first. Period.

People in NC thought I was crazy to move to Mn. No regrets. Well except when winter comes around, it makes Upstate NY\Pa. look kind of cozy in comparison LOL.

But not all verticals are bad. And thank Gawd there are still drivers out there delivering.

 

It took three full days and three trips to Lowes but I finally got my water conditioning system up and running with no leaks. I still need to make a frame to strap tight the water tanks and make a cover where I opened up the wall but the plumbing is done. What a PITA that turned out to be.

 

Does the main pre-filter housing have a built-in bypass?

 

Yes, once a year or so I will have to change out the carbon in tank 1. I can keep the water running since its a few days process to change, wash, 48 hour soak and wash again the active carbon media.

I can also easily isolate the area around the blue pre-filer, de-pressurize the area and change filter in just a few minutes without making a huge mess.

There are also water pressure gauges before and after the tanks. If the pressure drops on the second one but not the first it's time to change the carbon.

 

I am really impressed. My wife just made a mango cheesecake from scratch. It looks amazing to me.

 

AttaGirl!

You outdid yourself with this one.

 

Bill, they posted it yesterday.I dont know. both never left Blacksburg after their VA Tech days.Folsom guides for smallmouth on the New River.ill shoot him a text and see where they were at. caught this on a river other week. do know mostly SW Va.

 

I have two neighbors that do that. Both across the street. They sit just inside of their open garage and I know dam well there is nothing going on except for Carol and I when we work outside.

Took me years to accept the overlord camera’s in the shop.
I still give the main camera the finger when I walk in so I feel better.

But knowing your the entertainment is kinda creepy.

I wonder if Andy came over in his skivvies it would drive them back into the lair.

 

Good morning all.

 

YES

 

Good Morning

 

NO, they'd be sitting in the garage with a phone in their hands calling the cops!! "No officer, he's just Eccentric!!

Wonderful Tuesday Morning all!!

Have a great day out there.. I would say stay out of trouble, but I've come to realize that is an unreasonable hope here on TW50+ :toyota:

our haircut places and beauty shops open on May 15th.wife sent me this meme

 

Nice job but scary.
To think if I’m outside and I’m thirsty I just grab the garden hose.

 

No ground wire? Not sure if the filter housing is plastic or not, or on top of tanks but if it is you lose the ground. Here we mount a a ground wire to the inlet and outlet side of plastic housings

 

Good morning everyone, it’s Tuesday! Got some rain and cooler weather incoming. Winter is trying to come back, I hope it fails.
