Mornin guysCoffee

I'm a little beat up today. After putting up with the wind yesterday, and having my hat blown off 4 times; I waved good-bye to it the 4th time. I wasn't going to catch up to it.
When I got home, my ditch was filled to the top with leaves and sticks that had been blown UP hill from the strong south winds. Since heavy rains were predicted, I had to do something about them in order to save my driveway. There was also a tree that had been blown over the drive near the top. Even though I could drive under it, it was a widow maker and had to come down.
I used a chainsaw, a tow strap, and my truck to get the tree down, and then cut it up for firewood and stacked for seasoning. By this time it was getting dark, so I used the truck's head lights to see while I used the leaf blower to blow the leaves out of the ditch. Sometimes the wind worked against me, and sometimes it worked with me, but I got it done. Did it all in about a hour and a half.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

You know your more of a multi-tasker.....  cause you do that and much more. just walking the dogs... Big Grin


Here we are in a warming trend.  It was 38F when I tried to leave for work this morning.  Well, I quickly found out that my driveway and entire street were all black ice.  After 5 failed attempted and near misses on the return I got stuck halfway down the drive, sideways.....  

I gave up and went inside for an hour or so....  Managed to get the car back onto the Driveway and lined up again.  After a couple more attempts I finally managed to crest the crown of the driveway while simultaneously sliding sideways into the street then right into the neighbors front yard.... I did say the entire street was black ice, didn't I??? 

 Once back on the street, I then limped to the stop sign and found the cross road all clear....  Then it only took me 1:20 to get to work instead of the typical 45 minutes....

67* now, might hit 70 later. Off and on showers, with winds at 12 to 25 sustained, and gust to 35 today. Been like this for 3 days.

Afternoon, boys!!! Howdy

I seem to have stopped getting any OT post notices.  Apparently it's been happening since the new SWFA website rollout...  Anybody else have issues with not getting any posting notices???

Yeah and I dont' get private message notifications either.

BF its sunny and 68 here today.  Up to 72 and sunny tomorrow. been driving the stang' when its warm.  Got allot of the parts together for the motor freshen up and turbo install gathered now too.... Install and work got delayed....... because

I also just purchased a steel building from US Steel,  being delivered next week.  Getting concrete poured as well...... will take a few weeks to assemble but got to get it put up so I can move all my gunsmith and reloading supplies out of the house for a remodel of that old room. 

Once the buildings up I'll tear the stang down and fix in a few weekends hopefully then paint will come after.... gloss white is still the plan

yeah I'm not looking forward to all those nuts and bolts that are used.  I've put up similar ones helping friends but none this size....

Mornin' all, 56* yesterday 34* right now with wind @ 18 WNW.

We've had over 80" of snow so far and right now we have none on the ground.

More headed this way in the next couple days.

Weather sucks, low 30s going to high 30s with chance of rain, BUT it's not windy, for now.

Sounds cool G. A steel building would be a nice addition to the place, and great for working on your stang. How big a building are you getting?

Sounds like G needs to have a Span-o-Steel Construction party!

Good luck!  I'm a bit surprised you aren't selling the pony and buying a mini-van.... daddy to be!
