Good Morning everyone

There's nothing like having someone pissing in one's cornflakes while they're still in their own world, and on a Sunday.
I had an auction pickup, took off in the Mazda. Was going to stop at the stop sign, foot went to the floor. Emergency brake worked though.
So I took the Tundra.
Temporary repair, cut the line, hammer it flat, weld it closed.
Hit the brakes and the imaginary boot kicks the passenger side ass end up in the air. Making sure hand is on the wheel, as I tried without and almost ditched it.
Haskaps are ripening up, so netting is going up.
Carpet bombed the garden the other evening. Seems to have downed the ticks.

Not a great day, hate it when weird people invade my space.

Pucker factor level 6.
It's like a totally unnecessary exercise ; pushing the pedal to the floor. But hey try it again; as if the leak would heal during the interim.
Of course the pedal is all happy getting to go where it hasn't for a long time. Weee that was fun! Push me again!

The regulating/metering block/splitter helps about 1% when isolating front or rear brakes during a failure of one end. Not to be confused with the already confused antilock brakes not knowing what to do absent brake fluid.
Front brakes only are no fun at all though, Like suggestions of having brakes. A concept not quite applaudable.
And a notch higher in pucker factor on a motorcycle.
Get them to grab finally somehow and the vehicle does a curtsy. While the white knuckled driver does a bow.

Mornin all.

Skipped the tractor dealer extravaganza Saturday. Dang it. It took some persuasion.
Saved money that way though.

Worked on freeing up stuck valves on the 1948 C-60 tractor engine again yesterday.
One valve still stuck and it wasn't stuck when I started.( Yippee!)
Being a keeper fell of one last fall and from the looks of the galling on some lifters... The engine is in want of more than freed up valves.
(Stop thinking about tractor dealer extravaganza.)

Good morning

Got my camp trailer all packed up and ready to go!
Heading out to no-mans-land to look for points for a few days. It's been awhile, needing some solitude.
Barring any unforseen problems I shall be back on here Friday morning.
Ciao.

Awesome tune, always loved that one!

Did you visit nearby Serpent Mound?

We sure did. Very cool place. Hard to imagine how they managed to make such a thing and align it so well with the heavens back when they didn't have GPS or computers or any of that stuff.

Mornin Evan!

Well, so much for making plans for fun.
We had a faucet valve break inside the master bed/bathroom wall.
Mitigation crew says mold present, so all the bath cabinets come out and all the wallboard in the bedroom and bathroom must be replaced, once it gets dried out of course.
Unpacking my camper now.

Mold.
You gotta evacuate until remediation is complete.

Quick load the camper!

I've always thought the reaction to mold was odd. The mold didn't just spontaneously emerge -- it got there by spores floating around in the environment finding a hospitable (wet, dark) place. So when you see the mold, you've probably already been breathing the spores for a while before it even appeared. Of course I could also be completely wrong.

I agree. I'm sure there are some bad molds out there, but I think they go way overboard on the whole thing. Unfortunately, we have to follow the guidelines of the mitigation company to avoid future troubles if we were to sell the house.

Mold grows from one little spore to millions, so the little spore you might breathe in before it can grow somewhere is not a threat, it's when you breathe in 1000s and 1000s of them after it grows is when it's hard for your body to fight against.

Good afternoon to all my friends here! I hope the day is going, has gone well for you all!

Got new rubber on the Mazda, and got the brakeline repaired.
Picked up a bunch of steel rims and bought 4 lrg aluminum rims.
Been trying to net the Haskaps, seems like something is always taking me away from getting it done.

Well, that sucks buttermilk.....It was one year ago, yesterday, that my
shop burned...I feel your pain.

Hopefully, the homeowners insurance will be of help?
