60+ year old thread.

So today would be the perfect day to test it...

 

Yes, but not a perfect day for a 1st attempt.

 

That's one of the oldest scams in the book. I'm not sure what the fix is.

 

LOL... Back in the day... Gawd, how many years ago? My wife (girlfriend at the time) bought one of the first dome tents. We took it camping with a bunch of friends and before erecting our gear we all stood around passing a bottle of tequila around. About the time everyone was getting well lubricated someone found out we had a dome tent. So it was on. They wanted to see how it worked and expected bad results. They were betting on a long process and that we had made a foolish purchase. Now mind you... this was the first time we'd had the tent out of the bag. So when the tent was up in about ten minutes, with breaks to read the instructions, everybody was kind of disappointed. They didn't get to laugh as much as they were anticipating. Even more disappointed when they had to put up their own tents which required assembly and stakes and tie downs and tightening lines. The next year we all went camping at the same place, it became an annual thing, and everyone had a dome tent. I think what really convinced them was when I emptied all our stuff to take the tent down and lifted it up to shake all the accumulated dirt out... while the tent was still assembled.

 

Well, it did quit drizzling, but not for trying. It tried to make sun, and meh....It did make warm and humid!
So, there is no before pic, and it's not finished, but I did get mower wall in the shed redone. I saw two more things to do when I put everything away. (All the wires on the right are where the solar control I'm re-doing go). On to the other wall and pool cleaner tomorrow I hope.



I washed out water containers for the solar water system, and decided what time I had left would be putting the 12V wiring back in the cubbie in the back - where it came from.





Oh, all the drizzle killed a GFCI circuit at the pond or beyond. I'm letting things heat and dry before I start pulling it apart. I know it's NOT in the underground, thank you very much! On tomorrows list.

 

Apparently it is a 'thing' among certain folks to take interviews on behalf of others. They're paid to do it too!

It's hard to do this delicately but but they were both of the same nationality and gender, both had similar hairstyles + beards, and the interview was via Zoom/equivalent. The guy who met him thought his voice was different, became suspicious, and got a video call together with coworkers who immediately said "NO that is not him."

Here's another bit of pandemic-driven WFH intrigue: it became pretty easy to work multiple jobs at the same time.

 

Sheesh! The things people WON'T do - is a shrinking list!!

 

Good afternoon to all of Porchatonia >60.

 

Welcome to the Porch! I don't have rule duty, but one of EACH generation Tacoma? And no pics? Sir?

 

@Oldie2007

I may have already mentioned this...but I ordered an electric dethatcher like yours. Finally drying out here, should get a chance to try it out soon

 

I guess I am keeping it. I found a place to hang it up! Now, where is that warranty registration form.....?

 

Rain let up.
Ground is wet.
I set up the awning, annex tomorrow.

 

Nice. I need something like that for my van.

 

Evening all:

Lots of spring projects to do, I'll get to them when I feel like it or when they become must do!

Welcome USMILRET, your turn to fill up the cooler, and then pull up a chair on the porch and post away.
See you are retired Army, thank you for your service!

 

Welcome to the porch @USMILRET . Thank you for your service Sir. Many Vets from different branches on board. Join in on any subject except politics. That will bring down the ban hammer. The porch is getting mighty full with Folks. Sit back and join in. Enjoy.

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!! And, welcome to the porch @USMILRET !!

 

I will put a reminder in my Calander.

Carl: I doubt if we will substitute venison. Lucky we both like seafood so there will be seafood twice a week. Pork, chicken and turkey will also work for us as well. Pasta will be there once a week too. I prepare Pasta Zero for me and regular pasta for the wife and son.

I doubt that beef is a factor, but it is my observations and readings from the glucose meter. I enter my food intake into the application and went back and looked at the higher readings. I honestly believe that regular exercise has a greater impact on my readings.

I will look into the supplement. I have gone from 7.3 to 6.1 with 5.0 as a goal.

Welcome to the porch.

Nice garden, and the awning looks great too.

Good morning. Thursday and it will be overcast today with rain tomorrow.

 

Morning all.

 

Good Morning All.

I had gotten a certified letter in the mail. My mind was racing on this one.

Congratulations, you won the 3rd prize at the Houston Hamfest. It's legit—Mobile Amateur Radio - FTM300DR dual band transceiver. Pretty cool, so now I have to find a place for two radios in my truck.

 

^^Congrats Tom^^

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Well, it's a lot less grey than promised, so maybe things will be a little easier, and less damp today!
