ebinmaine 80,755 #10152 Posted Sunday at 10:34 PM Today we went for a drive a couple hours north to look at 5 pieces of land. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ujErC4DzcvZ4o78u6?g_st=am Saw lots of beautiful scenery and in fall color peak too! We'll be requesting more info on two of the 5 pieces for sure. Possibly 3. After that we got the garden area path bridge set in place. That's in its own thread. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 9,305 #10153 Posted Sunday at 10:54 PM We are in Wyoming, visiting my sister. Getting some good entertainment out of one of her cats and our dog. It is a mostly outdoor cat, but seems to enjoy sitting outside of one of the several patio doors in the house to aggrivate the dog. My sister's property is just over 30 acres of ridges and hills. Dog and I found ourselves on the far side of a 20 foot cliff on our walk today. The approach looked like it was going to be an easy down hill into the valley between the next ridge - until we walked up on the top of the cliff. Ended up following the top of the cliff until it shrank into nothing. Walked just under a mile. My Garmin claimed that I decended 120 feet, before climbing back to the house. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 32,765 #10154 Posted Monday at 12:27 AM Started some physical therapy today. Started out by turning the ends down on some 5/8" rod in order to make a new tie rod with replaceable ends for my 953. Changed the sediment bulb and gave it an oil change. Next I made a bracket so I can hang dumb bell weights on the front. Finished off by preparing some 7" x 5/8" round plate to use as my dumb bell weights. These weight about 6lbs each. I have enough room to hang 13 of these on the front. The 78lbs should help hold it down. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 58,164 #10157 Posted Monday at 01:01 AM I got all coked up today ... the evaporator fan wires were brittle and cracked and a short waiting to happen. Unit bearing motors are not meant to be taken apart and this one was hardwired. I was up for the challenge and replaced the cable. Rewired the rest of the cooler while I was at it. I dated this thing around early 50s. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 47,385 #10161 Posted 19 hours ago Spent the day with Mrs.K while she had a total knee replacement. They used the Mako Robotics System that uses a preop CT scan to create a 3D image that is used to program and guide the robot through the procedure. She was up and walking 3 hours after the surgery. So far all is well. 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
