For Stock Rigs Only

We tried... We hope the solid waste company empties the compactor tomorrow morning before anybody shows up... Custodian Bob thought he was throwing in a heavy wood shop cart, but nothing happened. Pulled it out and we learned the fiberboard shelves were mounted to a steel frame, so it's at the curb, hoping someone grabs it. Two more work days, then back to 4-hour nights Tuesday. We did manage to give it a workout, up to 2200 psi, and the bolts and steel top plate didn't shake. Enjoying rain and thirty degrees cooler weather (mid-60s, closer to our ages)...

 

Morning dudes.
We start ripping the roof off the house today, cant wait.

 

ha! Glutton for punishment! Sounds like a blast.

very unusual occurrence: temps near 60, windows open, the dog, who’s going through chemo, didn’t wake me up to have diarrhea, and I didn’t set my alarm! All on the same day! Man I’m gonna annoy the crap outta everyone today, gonna be awesome.

 

Maybe this one I'll hang onto and actually use. Time will tell as with all things

 

Morning Mike and Stockville

 

All 14 posts & blocking installed today. And got all the remaining joists covered with the joist tape.

 

Picked up the second ninja today. A bit rougher, needs a few parts, but I paid the same amount as the last one. We'll see how this goes.

 

Nice! Be sure to share in the motorcycle bs thread.

And

 

How'd it go? Were you tempted to drag the hang glider up and give it a shot?

 

Not as bad as we expected things to be but thats not saying much. Already told Mark but hubs and I both got tagged by wasps, fuckers had condos built all up under the nooks and crannies. It was a battle all day with the little bastards.

Nah, wrong wind direction for that nonsense.

 

Damn! Down to the framing! Wasps are assholes.

 

I hope you both didn't get stung but once, which is bad enough. Before Mom and Dad passed, I drove over and Dad and I picked plums from a prolific tree next to his new shop ("new" means until another shows up). He was smart, picking from the ground while I used the ladder, moving around to avoid the horde. Wasps were attracted to Mom, persistent so Dad and I had to be persistent to get her to go back to the house. Dad and I didn't get tapped, but I can't forget my first stream survey with the USFS, crawling through brush on the Palouse District near Harvard, Idaho (hands and knees, dragging a fiberglass tape). Brent was following me and I evidently passed under a wasp nest during my crawl and he jostled it and got tagged in passing. The next day, I got nailed in the elbow by a bald faced hornet, and spent the rest of that day trying to keep my arm in cold water as we went. The only life we saw while crawling for a week was a glimpse of brown hair on an animal ahead. Yeah, looking up to catch a glimpse of a cow on that allotment... <G>

 

Morning Mike

 

Damn right, I got the big one today.

 

Mmmmm

 

THATS.. what she said

 

Good Morning Stockers
