    Morning
    Some nasty weather coming next few days.
    Heavy rain and hi winds are in store till Monday.
    Harley battery should be here Monday.
    Talked to my boy and we figured out the battery lasted 20 years.
    Yes, that’s right…
    Also decided I’m going to put some different bars on it this year.
    It has extended cables and I think I can get 8” z bars and 1” clamps.
    So a 3” rise. So after it comes out of storage, I’ll jury rig an adapter to check
    Cable routing.

    Going to try something different in here.

    So I’m going to try a little change of pace and maybe get a little more activity
    cause it seems the thread is getting stagnant. Yea I know it’s still winter but
    seems a little input would be great.

    Next Friday, I’d like to get you all to let us know, in general, what your plans are for the weekend.

    Doesn’t mean a detailed list.
    Nothing like 2 paragraphs.

    You don’t have to participate if you don’t want to.
    The only thing I really don’t want to see is “NOTHING” posted.
    Just a useless post.

    Examples

    Working in the garage

    Going fishing

    Going out to eat

    Yard work

    Repairing (such and such).



    Then if people are interested some banter may result.

    Just as a little teaser, this weekend I spent time at work (shocker) clearing up old scrap and getting it shipped out. May have snagged a nice (used) cable for myself for who knows what purpose.

    There is no alert memo.
    The executive committee is not involved.
    Strictly voluntary.
    There is no specific time to post if you even want to.
    Don’t stress, have fun…

    As is standard practice, @FlyingWolfe will be the designated Sheriff in my absence.

    Good luck and Godspeed.

    You assume too much.
    Did you contact and confirm her ability to have the necessary time to pursue
    this since she has a full plate as it is?

    Sounds like work.
    Sure, we’ll pile on more shit for the other guy.

    Found a random wire sticking out of my driveway when I got home. Something like 8-10 gauge two wire aluminum.
    IMG_6640.jpg

    Grabbed a shovel and started chasing it. Found a second random wire. (I did use a sparky stick and make sure they weren't live first) IMG_6641.jpg

    ended up about three feet down through the clay. The second random wire I was able to pull out of the ground and it didn't go anywhere. The original two wire one goes straight down, so I'm guessing there used to be a well or something similar here before it was a driveway. Gave up and filled the hole back in.
