Spring, the cat, is now in his own chair … after him trying to usurp my chair I got him his own chair…and he can sit beside me here…instead of him trying to steal my chair, lol![(-D]
Have a good evening!!
JimProbe,
Well I used the POR15 but I don’t have much if any confidence it will help because the rust is coming from the inside and working it’s way to the outside.
I did scuff the bottoms of the doors and spray truck bed liner over them to try to hold down the attack, but a Band-Aid at best. I just did the last coat. It looks nice but Rust is a cancer and can’t be fixed unless it is Cut out just like with us.
I will let you know how it goes but don’t hold your breath.
DougDG My workbench is like something I am anal about. Just ask RIJack how it works, he can type faster than me. My Grandfather on my mom’s side is to blame as to why I am a detail freak.
BOB, Did you get the package??
Prayers for all of you.
Good to see you Jon!! [:D]
Blownout Cyl glad you get a break [Y]
Good evening all,
It is rainy in SE Indiana, but did get yard mowed before showers hit. We won our first game last night 4-1. I did ok for me, and we had lots of subs, which really helped. Very busy day at work. TBIL and I can drive. I hope everyone has a good day.
Keep on training,
Mike C. from Indiana
Last post of the month.
Got some more done on the garden shed floor frame tonight.
Have a great day tomorrow all!
Time for me to call it a night. Thunderstorm came through about 10 this morning and knocked out the power. It came back on after a few minutes then was knocked out again about twenty minutes later. That time it stayed off for about ten minutes. Power stayed on after that. The cable however was another story. It went out when the power went down the first time and stayed out until about 8:30 tonight. I don’t get what the problem with the cable service is. Lately (last several months) whenever the power goes down if only even for a few seconds the danged cable stays out all frikkin day! For me that’s no internet and no phone. For my parents it’s no TV, no internet, no phone, no emergency service, no medic response, etc. I have a cell phone but it’s for EMERGENCY USE only, not for conversation. It only has sixty some odd minutes a month on the free service. My father uses his for work only and my mother has never bothered learning how to use hers. Trying to teach an old dog new tricks comes to mind there. I’ve shown her time and again how to use it but even just ten minutes later it’s still a mystery to her. It’s rather like trying to teach a cat basic computer programming though I think I could get farther on it with my parents cat than I have with my father. He’s doing good to turn the thing on without crashing the hard drive. So you see the dilemma here. Short of going down there to check on them I have next to no way of contacting them when the cable is down for whatever reason and as I said just a very brief power outage will knock it out for most of the day. I’ll be in town paying bills tomorrow and I’ll be making a stop by the cable office (my bill is paid automatically so I don’t have to go there) to lodge a complaint about the lousy service.
On the layout front, I pulled the Bachmann light board decoder out of the Rivarossi/Athearn U25C and replaced it with a Digitrax DZ125 salvaged from on e of the FP45’s I retired yesterday. The FP45’s are both tucked away in the closet now. They’ll have to
Sunny and about 70 today. Clouds rolled in this evening along with some much needed rain.
Played some more with my new SD40 tonight. The sound package on that thing is simply amazing. On start up, you can hear the starter motor turn over, throttle up and you hear what sounds like a turbo charger spool up, An air compressor comes to life from time to time too. I fired up my SD70 for a bit tonight, and that one sounds kind of boring when compared to the SD40.
All for now.
Evening from the Box. Dummy me had not thought of my laptop with wireless sitting in the office. Not anymore. Got Pond Mower fixed. Built both ends of Box benchwork [just the framing] and from workshop door to right wall [as walking in]. No work until Monday. Maybe a small amout or two. Town stuff tomorrow. Later.
I’m calling it a night a little early today. Managed to get alcohol in my eyes when I was changing out the dressing on my foot. The cap has one of those flip-top squirt things. I had flipped it up when I got the bottle out and when I picked it up it slipped a bit and I tightened my grip. Big mistake! A stream of alcohol shot of the squirt hole and hit me right between the eyes. That 90% alcohol makes your eyes burn bad. I flushed them real good but they’ve been aching all day. See y’all tomorrow.
77 now, another nice day but still no rain. The stitch thing this morning, grass cut this afternoon and then we sat outside till almost dark. No banilla yet but I am ready. Waiting for the Tardis crew…S.J.
