    The customer we went to see the other day does flooring work. They mix stuff in cement mixers to coat them. Someone messed up and left the stuff in the tub too long and it got hard. They had to cut the tub and frame apart to get it off. Now it's up to me to reassemble it and put the new paddles we had made in. It's one of the tow behind mixers, not a harbor freight :eek:

    Elton John-Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy was the first album I ever bought, at age 11. Still have it but have not listened to the album in 45 years.

    I heard something similar but I recall it being about Bob Ross. He got tired of painting happy little trees and built a lifestyle around painting happy little trees. All I could find was him serving in the USAF as a Drill Sergeant. As far as Mr Rogers being a sniper or Seal, I couldn't find anything substantial. A lot of 'fact check' sources which all claim false so I have doubts that he was slaying in the jungles of Vietnam.

    Bob Ross Military.com


    Edit: Fred McFeely Rogers WW2 document
    Looks like Mr Rogers was a WW2 Vet based on this Draft card. It checks out. Now what he did in WW2, I cannot find.
    Edit Edit: Today is Mr Rogers birthday. May he be having a beautiful day in the neighborhood. He is missed.

    I like this solution but one thing to consider is if you have a dog(s) and/or children. With blooming clover there will be a large population of bees around which can cause stings if they are stepped on, sat on, etc.

    I got a little carried away last night, but I love it. Normally I 3D print several prototypes of my designs first, but after being in a lazy funk after getting the kids to bed I finally fired up the mill at 10:30pm. Grabbed a piece of scrap micarta and got to town. Top side op1 went well. Backside op2 the piece pulled out of the vice . I didn’t have enough clearance for the meteorite dial to fit in, applied a little too much pressure and split the case. Anyhow, im happy overall, and have a few changes to make and I’ll try it all over this weekend hopefully

    That's probably something I should do for my backyard. Similar growing zone as you but the only problem is that I have dogs and small chitlins. It may be a risk with the bees. While I enjoy helping out our buzzy friends, finding out that a child is deathly allergic to bee stings would suck. I dunno what I'll do. I'm pretty religious about my front yard but my backyard, however, is mostly weeds and dirt. Dogs don't like and won't let me have nice grass in the backyard but something low maintenance as a turf of clover would look nice.

    My buddy bought this trailer to replace the ones he sold or gave away. He’s going to haul his mini excavator on it, it weighs 14,000. I told him before he bought it that it wasn’t heavy enough. The trailer gvwr is 15,000, his B&W hitch is only rated for 14,500. Not sure what the hitch on the truck is rated for.

    My coworker, just when I think I've heard it all........................



    He just told me his power keeps going out at his house, at least once to twice.... or more a week. Turns out his MAIN breaker keeps tripping and he has to wait on it to cool down.

    Dude, the breaker is doing it's job and telling you something isn't right.

    I ask why does it keep tripping? He said I don't know, it had 2 screw in fuses when he moved in....30+ years ago and they kept blowing so he installed a panel with a 100 amp main. Then when he had his furnace replaced, they put a 200 amp main in and it keeps tripping.

    You may want to get a licensed electrician to look at that :eek:

    He also said when he moved in the water heater was jimmy legged directly into the meter with no breaker or fuse :bananadead:

    You can't fix stupid. Ask him if you are in his will. And if you are not can you get in it? Then again, you probably don't want anything he has.....
