Morning everyone

Jaime leave the toilet for the plumber!

Rick thanks for coffee & breakfast.
Nice picture.
Be careful hiking tomorrow.

Curt they sound like little kids!

Weather in South Jersey is cloudy/77.  Later on 84.
A day without 90 thank God.
Will see what the day brings.

Everyone have a great day!!  :)

I visited Leadville once, and would definitely like to go back.  It was just a long day's drive around that part of Colorado, so not a lot of time to see things. 

After hearing the stories about mountain rescues here in the White Mountains, I do worry when Rick heads out on a solo climb.  (NH now offers 'rescue insurance'.  It's cheap.  But if you don't have it, have an accident, and get rescued, you'll get billed.)

Rick, don't miss the Miners museum in downtown, it's very interesting and they have  a mock up of a mine that you walk thru in the building.....

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfast Rick.  If I need to work on Fridays, I work from home, my goal is to work only 4 days a week but working in construction, that is hard to do.  At least my days working on the road is done. 😊  Enjoy your hike tomorrow and be careful.

Jaime, with your luck with plumbing, letting the professionals do it is sound judgement.  Hopefully it will be a cheap fix.

Curt, looks like you had a very busy day yesterday and the skunks sound like a handful.  Hopefully today will be more relaxing.

Jerry, sounds like a beach day today.

Dave, Greg, hope you have a great day.

Current weather is 19c (66f) cloudy with a 40% chance of showers.  We did get some rain yesterday as I was driving home from work.

While I did make it to the bench last night, I didn't get as must done on the turntable as I wanted as I got distracted.  I only have one thing left to do and the turntable is complete.  Guess what I'll be doing today.  ;D

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning,

Jaime any day you get $$ is a good one. Hope the toilet fix goes easily and the "bucks", no not the 4 legged kind, isn't too much.

Rick nice photo!! Good luck with the next 14'er; enjoy and be safe. Veggies consisted of sweet corn which was excellent, tomatoes, and a green pepper to be cut up for the freezer. Oh ya thanks for the coffee and breakfast.

Curt good luck getting the dishwasher "skunk proofed" and glad the little critter didn't get seriously hurt. Have fun at the bench.

Dave sounds like the insurance wouldn't be a bad thing to have just in case things ever went sideways.

Jerry hope you can squeeze in some bench time.

Ron hope you're able to complete the TT; it looks great.

What's your plans?

It's another sunny 71 with a high of 81. Spent yesterday afternoon trying to tear apart an old wood stove my parents had that has been sitting in my garage way too long. Removed enough weight so I could move it; barely. This am I used 2 homemade planks, 2x10's, and managed to get the stove onto them at the back of my SUV. Long story short I was able to get it into the vehicle, barely, by flipping it on its end then it's top. Drove to the recycler where I had help dropping it on the pavement so a "skid steer" could pick it up and over a wall into a bin. I'm pooped; not in my 40's any more. Maybe some bench time this afternoon.

Have an enjoyable and safe day!! Be well and stay cool.
