    took awhile to find the computer glitch, solves that. minor alteration need on adapter plate, couple quick clearance cuts on the lathe solved that. While doing that I heard a loud click sound from somewhere on the other end of the basement, turns out it was the garage door spring that snapped in half. ( the type you wind up when installing a new one- dang that wind was cold out there).

    Hate to see this. Somebody’s house was on fire on the way back home. No idea what caused it, there were many first responders on site, road was blocked for some time. I’ll watch the news to see what they say. I don’t remember if these folks burn wood or not. IMG_3806.jpeg

    Given the previous two posts, we could do with a voting button with a sad face on it. Cannot give them a like.

    The weather patterns recently had crazy high and then low pressure fronts. We broke, no DEMOLISHED, the record high temperature on Thursday. 53° in Milwaukee, previous record high was 43°.

    When fronts like that roll through, I get headaches. I had to take a couple of ibuprofen at work the other day. Since I've been working with a trainer for the last couple of years, I don't have to take ibuprofen for anything pain/ muscle soreness related anymore. Just once in a great while for weather/ pressure related headaches. Like maybe 1-2x a year. And even then, just 2 regular ibuprofen do the trick.

    That's me right now. We had no rain in January until the 29th. Hasn't stopped since. I'm climbing the walls and we are forecasted 10 days of this stuff.

    5.4 literally V8. Much more powerful than the 4.2 figurative V6.

    I'm wondering did the truck need pearcings for the ring lined bed?

    As long as you can edit, and actually do that, it's all good.

    I can imagine how it'd go if we were still measuring by cubic inches...
