50+ thread

It was like that when they were trying to diagnose my Deb, it was determined she had Lupus, that was 20+ years ago

 

Morning.
Over did it yesterday.
Between running around at work and putting out fires with the new car
(That still need to be addressed) then going back and doing paper work and getting home,
My adductor (inner leg) decided to do the I give up and cramp thing.
Ouch Ouch.

Fixing two pieces of never seen that before shit reduced my stress a little and only briefly.

Cold again.
Winter hanging on.
My long week

COFFEE

 

Good morning. Back at it today. Going to (gingerly) excavate around the old tank today and find all the inlet pipes then start dragging new trenches to where the new tanks are going to be located then start excavating those holes down to about 4'. That's about the depth of the deepest of any utilities would be in this part of the world (except high voltage. Those can be down around 6' but we found that already). Next week is going to be a little tedious. We have 6,000 feet plus of 2" out line that has somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 gallons of sewer water. We have to pump the tanks, backflow that back into the tank, expose that line, cut the line, add a valve then drag the new trench for the new tank then hook it back up to the old tank so everything works till the new tanks get here. Kinda like playing Russian Roulette with really nasty stuff. The 6,000' line gains in elevation of a couple hundred feet.

Some days I would really like to punch a clock.

We're ratcheting up to the 90's real quick like...knocking on that door already.

Y'all have a great day.

 

Good Morning Everyone

 

Good Morning All

Started a shit storm at work 2 weeks ago and continued it it yesterday. My first shift counterpart is at it again. Taking short cuts that makes me have to redo things. Generally just screws things up that if I dont catch it would lead to machine crashes.
I told my union rep that when I get over, union brotherhood gets flushed
On to nicer things, ,, Rain today

@Marty65 Thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks like a real nice trip.

 

Morning all

Went to show someone a picture on my phone. He asked why I have so many pictures of goats...told him I have a problem.

Sorry about the car fire

 

Mornin folks. Having my daily breakfast

Ya'll have a great day!

 

Morning... almost afternoon here..

Had a great day yesterday down in Lakeland...

In front of Tico Belle, our flagship.



The XP-82 made it in, first time she's flown since the Korean conflict.. 11 years and over 200K man hours to restore her.. It was quite a stunning figure when she flew over on her way in, those Merlin engines have a distinct sound about them for sure...



Hope everyone is having a good day.. Carry on!!

Is that a generator on the top of that thing?? You'd think there should be solar panels and a windmill...

 

Well, Dad's back at the ER. He should be OK. Doctor sent him there as they can do the X-rays, etc all in one place. He's had a chest cold that has been getting worse and is now wheezing.

 

Bet you could find some folks willing to talk about alien abdication too.

 

A twin P51,...



That’s badass!

 

Morning Everyone !!!

Currently 51° cloudy high temp of 62° and windy

Going to clean my place today then get a haircut





Have an Awesome day !!!

 

Girl at work was diagnosed when she was 48 or 49. She went temporarily blind. Hope you can get some rest.

Prayers for dad.

tgif!!!

 

OK Happy moments for Y'all…



Even the Super Grumps would have to SMILE when this guy chases one into the canal and then swims out with "The Catch"

Everyone enjoy your weekend....

Con has been keeping us BUSY with her Art Work.... Boot Legger's Art Walk tonight and then she has a couple of pieces at a Gallery showing Saturday on FT . Myers Beach...….

The good news is 2nd and 3rd orders for her book are already coming in...

my life away maybe coming to an end

 

Karma...did you see who was the latest one to get the ban hammer.

 

Everyone calls it that, but Tom states that every piece on that plane is unique, there are NO interchangeable parts between the XP-82 and the P-51.. He spent 14 Million restoring this beastie, and it is an engineering miracle.. Most all the sheet metal and a lot of the sub-framing had to be re-manufactured!
