Geezer's Lounge (Rev 1) - Volume 6

[elwoodblues]

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for coffee and breakfast Rick, hope the banking goes quick and easy.

Curt, I agree with Rick, we need an update.

Larry, looking forward to your update.

Dave, have fun playing with the laser.

Karl, 21ft waves?   I'd definitely stay off the water. Have fun on your little road trip.

Was a little chilly this morning as the temp was only 6c (43f), the current temperature is 13c (56f) and cloudy, with no wet stuff in the forecast.  While I didn't get any modeling done last night (don't ask) but I did 3D print a crashed flying saucer, hopefully tonight I'll print some little green men.  These are for my modules, I'll be able to explain this weekend, but I bet you can figure it out.  As a hint I have a bunch of green cows that the locals claim are radioactive.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning folks,

Rick, thanks for the coffee and breakfast.  Hope Star is loving the new home.

Curt, if you don't find the van your wife likes, just get some black tape or paint and cover up the check engine light...

Larry, good luck with the car handle.

Dave, wishing you a fun time on the laser.

Karl, wow, 21-foot waves?  Enjoy your sightseeing today.

Ron, is the flying saucer diesel or steam-powered?

How is the rest of the crew?

It's cooler today at 91F.  Everything is still green.  It was abysmal baseball watching last night. I worked a bit on the roofing.  I finished the last of the roof panels this morning, so after the paint dries, I'll assemble the roof.  Lighting is the main topic this morning.

Have fun,
mike

Good morning everyone.

Coffee, sodas and OJ are ready.
Breakfast pizza for breakfast topped with scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage.

52 in Canton, cloudy and a high of 72 with a chance for rain late in the PM.

Star does like the house but she always runs to the van first instead of the door to go in the house.

Ron, sounds like an interesting module you have planned.

Karl, pretty picture but I wouldn't want to be on the water with 21' waves.

Dave, offset set?

Larry, hope the door repair wasn't too spendy.

Curt, hope nothing seriously wrong with the van.
Did you end up getting a new one?

Jerry, what's new in NJ.

How's everyone else?

Forgot to mention yesterday that I had a camera club meeting last night.
Bank transaction took a little time but went smoothly.
Got some phone calls to make and not sure what else I'll get into.

This was back in June on the Lake Isabelle trail.



Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning All,

Thanks for opening and breakfast Rick. Very pretty scenery. A slow day is not a bad thing.

MOH ran the numbers again (she's the family economist) and decided that although the van requires frequent repairs it is still cheaper than the cost of a new one and she is is the major driver of it and it still drives well.

Yesterday I fiddled around with the metal roofing for the saw shed, tried AK metal burnishing fluid on a spare piece but it didn't turn out as I had hoped so I ordered the PCB etching fluid that Brett recommended. It should be here Friday.

I did start building the saw table that sits inside the shed, with the attached equipment will take several days to put together.

Today is Son's 43rd birthday so we will gather at supper tonight to celebrate. I am proud of him. Ten years ago he was in a downward spiral of addiction. He has been sober for almost that long, has a decent job and real friends.

Since it's Wednesday you guessed it it's floor day. . Afterwards I hope to make it to the workbench.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning,

Rick thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Glad the banking went well and it's nice you're involved in a club.
I'm sure the reason Star runs to the van door first she thinks that's "home". Beautiful photo.

Curt that's great to hear your Son has been sober for that long; it can't be an easy process. Have fun at the bench. Good call on the van.

What's your plans?

I finally managed to finish another chapter in my blog so that's posted as of last night for those of you who follow along.

It's a p cloudy 63 with a high of 75. Depending on how the weather shakes out the lawn may or may not get mowed today; we'll see. Be picking up the Buick sometime the afternoon and it'll be good to have the drivers door handle fixed. Maybe some bench time later.

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

Good morning, all. I've still got plenty of apples, so I've put baskets of Baldwins, Haralsons and Beacons on the counter,

Mostly cloudy and high 50s in the lower Merrimack Valley this morning, sun later will bring it up to the 70s.  I'm off to Seashore again for a day of testing, ballast spreading and figuring out how to get an inflator on a tire where a service guy left very much the wrong valve stem.  Hi ho...

Morning all,

Just to let ya'll know I'm still kicking around. Radiation is kicking my butt with two more weeks left.

I did get the grass edged and cut this past Sunday but that wore me out as well.

I do have an update to post but have been to tired/lazy to post it.

Have a great day everyone. Stay safe and healthy.

Tom

Rick, can you blame Star?  The van was 'home' much longer than the house, plus the van takes her on adventures.

Tom, good to hear from you.  Hang in there!  Given the choice between building models and writing about them, go for 'building' every time!

I did get the laser offset set, and I cut the parts for the 6-sided shed I drew up.  I haven't done anything more than move those parts to the workbench, though.  

Our monthly lunch group meets today, so not much time on the workbench.  Tomorrow I'll probably relocate the laser to the table in the basement where I expect to keep it.
