Morning everyone

Larry thanks for the coffee & breakfast.

Curt I hope the Dr. visit goes well.

Rick that is a great picture of the horses.

TomO prayers for Terry.

Ron that's a good thread you have going.
But I need to reread it to understand it more.

Weather in South Jersey is P. sunny/53.  Later on 64.
Today is our day to put all the summer stuff away outside.
Then maybe some time at the bench.
I haven't really been there in over a week.

Everyone have a great day!!

Morning all, another great pilot's day in the sunshine state.....

[ACL1504]

Morning all,

I'll leave breakfast to another.

I have surgery this morning to remove a 3cm lesion from the upper lobe of my left kidney. Surgery at 9AM. Pam will notify Curt when I'm home which will be late this morning or early afternoon.

Have a safe and happy day everyone.

Tom

[Larry C]

Good Morning,

Tom best of luck on your surgery; keeping you and Pam in my thoughts and prayers.

I see Curt's here so I'll put on another pot of coffee and there's assorted pastries on the counter to go with.

What's your plans for the day?

It's a sunny 38 with a high of 54 here. Finished closing up the back porch yesterday just in case this weekends "white crap" even happens. Spent some time at the bench yesterday and hope for the same today. Other that not much else going on.

Have an enjoyable and safe day!! Be well.

Good Morning All,

Best wishes Tom. I'll be waiting for Pam's phone call.

Today for breakfast is coffee, plain cake donuts, OJ, and soda.

Happy Veterans Day

Last night the reamers showed up at 6 pm, that's 3 days it sat before being delivered. So much for USPS being slower. It was shipped via UPS and they delivered it.

Yesterday at the docs they decided to drain the site again, I got more antibiotics and was sent home until next Monday, when I go back.

Today is floor day then son wants me to go to the newest Godzilla movie. Not my thing but he invited me so I'll go.

No bench time today.

I hope everyone has a good day.

[TomO/Tloc]

Good morning from the land of Cheese and dairy cows!

Tom best to you on the surgery

Karl, when Spring comes and the trolls are visitable we need to meet up. Looking forward to that after all these years

Trolls. Spring will definitely see us in Grand Rapids, Mi. troll hunting the new 12 starting in May and I got a message another will be created near Traverse City but damn if I can find the notice when I want it. That makes visiting Manistique, Mi in the UP and Benny (the troll on Karl's picture) a bit more palatable as I know it's weak but I hate that Mackinac Bridge crossing.

The trolls in Tupperware Lake, NY will become just 1 permanent troll in The Wild Center in Tupperware Lake. The rest are a traveling exhibit. No timeline that I could find yesterday but it read like see them before Xmas. If Terry is up to traveling depending on weather we will try to get as many in as possible before Summer 2027. That changes our earlier Spring plans which is fine

I'm surprised as my brother has offered us his place on Maui starting 12/1 for as long as we want to stay. He is closing on a condo in Boca Raton, Florida 11/20 for tax reasons. Terry pretty much has said no. My wife is super liberal leaning and after the Lahaina fires in August 2023 moved her love of the island towards overly supporting the native cause. I'm ok not going as I think island life is boring. 10 days was long enough for me. For years though she visited and stayed below the allowed 200 days before having declared as a Hawaiian resident and pay state taxes. Since those fires she has taken on a few causes I don't support but I support her so I go along. Yes over the years our votes have cancelled out each other

I'm rambling! Enjoy your day

Good morning everyone.

Thank you to all the Veterans .

It's 41 now, sunny and windy with a high of 56 later.

ACLTom, positive thoughts sent your way for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Larry, thanks for the coffee and cheese danish.
Have fun at the bench.

Curt, thanks for the second cup.
I hope after having the cyst drained you are not in any pain.

Greg, hope it's another great day today.

Philip, morning.

Karl, hope TomO and you can meet up to see the trolls.

Jerry, any to-do chores today?

Ron, how's your motor experimenting going?

TomO, thanks for the link.
Congratulations to Terry for getting the OK to have her surgery.

How's everyone else?

I have today and next two days off.
I've been putting off winterizing the water lines in van but it has to be done today.
Some low temps at night predicted for the next few days and I don't want my water lines to freeze.
Most people pump RV antifreeze into the water lines.
I don't want to do that because I'd never be sure if all the antifreeze is out because drinks that water.
I found a technique that uses an air compressor to blow the water out just like they do for in ground lawn sprinklers.
I bought a kit on Amazon that allows be to connect the vans onboard air compressor to the fresh water inlet on the van.
I'll take it easy the rest of the day and go for a walk with Star too.

I hope I haven't posted one already.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for the coffee and breakfasts Larry and Curt.

Tom, hope the surgery goes well.

Larry, hope the "white crap" doesn't arrive, it's too soon.  Have fun at the bench.

Curt, enjoy the movie, it might be good. 😊

TomO, your troll hunting trips next year sounds like it will be a great adventure.

Jeff, Greg, good morning.

Rick, looks like you have winterizing the van well under control, enjoy your walk with Star.

Current weather here is 4c (39f) and partly cloudy, it's been a few days since we have seen the sun here.

Well last night was a bust (and frustrating).  I spent time writing up the next post on the stepper motor project and tried to post it only to get a big red warning that the post exceeded the 2000 word limit per post.   According to my word document there is only 604 words.  The second time I tried posting it would not post, so I gave up, I'm getting to old for that crap.  I'll post it after I'm done here.

Have a great day everyone.

Thank you Veterans

Cool and grey in MI.  Bench time?

Been dealing this morning with a "suprise" $1400 bill from the surgical center that did the Doll's cataract surgeries months ago.  She spent time on the phone and I guess it's owed but the billing was totally without explanation. 

TomO, be nice to go "Trolling"  Big Mac needs one...

Another nice scene, Rick.

Morning everyone

Larry & Curt thanks for the coffee.

This will be short I have to finish covering all the patio furniture today.
Because there is rain in the forecast for the rest o f the week.
Tomorrow I have a real early ultrasound appointment  to go to.
It's part of why of why I have shortness of breath.

Everyone have a great day!!

Karl ask for a EOB or Explanation of Benefits that they must provide by law before you pay the bill.
