60+ year old thread.

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!!

 

Good morning kids the weather roller coaster continues

 

I don't like bridges, or tunnels. Things beyond our control affect both.

Installed one 20' string of gutter screens yesterday. There's a beech tree ~10' away. I want to see how much tree crap sticks to it, before I continue or not. I'm sure there's a spring storm waiting, watching, grinning. If the screen doesn't blow clean from winds, I'll take it off, and continue cleaning gutters with a small blower. I can clean the entire system from the roof in 15 min. Been doing it for 30 years, but it worries my wife. Can't win this one.

 

I have gutter guards on mine, I have an attachment for my leaf blower to help keep them clean, works pretty good. Note: single story home

 

Morning 60+

 

Good morning. Wet outside and we might get some more rain in the afternoon. Should be an easy day. Going to get a haircut in the afternoon. I like being retired. I found a $491 check in the unopened mail pile yesterday. Nice find.

 

Good Morning

Have a Doctor's appointment this morning at the VA with my Urologist

 

Good morning all.

 

Good Morning Everyone.

 

I hate to tell you all with bad weather, but this is going to be another grand sunny day here! Mid 60s!
Grandbabe and I made tacos for dinner last night. Even grandma thought we did good! We are having pizza tonight, but going to try to make a beet salad tomorrow night. Grandma loves her weeks off from cooking even if meals aren’t up to her standards.
Some good news…grandbabe’s BF and his team won 1st place in division 4 national clays competition! Giant trophy! I loved breaking clays, but was never good enough to be competitive at it.

Make today a great one folks because you won’t get a second chance!

 

Tom be like...

 

Morning all:

Congrats to your granddaughters BF and the team on the 1st place, I never was too good at hitting clay birds, but let a grouse fly up within range and different story! I loved to hunt grouse and there were quite a few around, then they went into a decline and never seemed to rebound, it's rare to even see one anymore.

Me also! Every time I need to cross a bridge just North of me, and the traffic is stopped bumper to bumper on both sides for the entire length of the bridge, I often think "what if", that's a lot of weight just sitting there on that bridge.

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Feet feeling better yesterday, after avoiding shoes and just taking it easy. Recliner goes to the dump, and I go to my hair stylist to grab that recliner she's been trying to get rid of. It'll do until a new one comes - it's nice enough, and better than nothing! Wife has decided I want this Hydeline chair made in NC, shes' determined that I like it better than a RTG one. That's it for the day. Be interesting enough just wrestling them in and out.

Just about freaked out this AM though, I looked over to the East fence, and I see all kinds of "smoke" rising by the fence, where the AC and pool motor is. Went out to check, and it's very bright sunshine, turning water on the fence into a very local fog! Been here a long time, and never seen that before.

 

Two supervisory guys at the shop where I part-time have left. One of them was the "gas man" (fuel and welding) and when I got there yesterday all of the forklifts were dead. Lovely. First order of business, take two forklift empties to the propane supplier - get added to the list of persons who can sign for payment. They are supposed to bring three today so I can get the stores rack back to full. Looks like we have 5 x 100 pounders and three are in use on the shop floor as welding pre-heaters.

Today working with the welding lead-man to get the bottle list organized. Amazing how many are scattered through the plant - oxy/acetylene sets, nitrogen, argon, 98-2, 95-5 and so on. I remember working on a census of these maybe 6 years ago and we had 80 on the property!

I tried to get this organized and listed several years ago when I was the machine shop super.......... but my successor has just been shooting from the hip. Trying to find the old stores list.

 

Good morning all. Cloudy here at the moment, but don't think we're supposed to get any rain today. Time will tell.

Good luck with the recliner @Oldie2007

Have fun counting those gas bottles @GREENBIRD56

 

Back from the VA and it looks like I'll be needing surgery on my Right Kidney to remove some very large kidney stones

 

Can't like that. Prayers for you.

 

Let me know when your going out...

 

Thanks Greg !!!

 

Ouch!
