Pellet heads!! What's up today?

It's a ttdberg top ten day here. Enjoying an outside cocktail or three.

 

Sure is!!! Best day of the year so far, no doubt!

 

with my Harman, The glass gets covered with gold dust from burning gravel from the driveway....I accumulate this and take it off to the pawn broker.......

 

They tell me there is a guy up in Dawson who'll even clean it if it is dirty.

 

Hmm, Is that because you burn shells? I remember I uses do something similar to that on the Integra, but have been doing the wet paper towel dipped in ashes for quite some time. Last 3 years,have been following up with Rutland #84. It leaves a coating on glass. I can wipe down glass with soft cloth whenever gets a little dirty,generally never "scrub" the glass except when I do full cleaning.

 

Have had lots more snow and rain and hail,lol. 60 here today,very beautiful, stove off all day, and mud drying up. Worked on summer van, developed a problem coming back from delivering that P68 to my sister. Might only be just the front driveshaft, took it out today, hope I do not have compound problems, as I have 2 trips planned this summer.

 

Had the day off(first Saturday in a long time) and what a glorious day it was. Started off bad as I got a text telling me Pops was in ICU so my planned visit to work was off actually a good thing as Pops is doing fine. So i headed down to Robbins and grabbed 15 bags of pellets yeah can you believe it as we have a lot of rain coming and some cool nights which mean cold house. Leaves are starting to fill in which means shade coupled with dampness which means cold wife and pets so off I went and grabbed some Wood and sons pellets.
After dropping them off I headed to the ICU to see my Sis and Pops to make sure everything was good and Thank God it was.
Following that I went back home and grabbed my drone Yep Luney bought a drone and headed up the road to the farm to fly that sucker and get some 4 K video which is pretty amazing along with the stills I can grab from the video. I'll post some pictures and eventually when I get some time upload some video of my flights around Luneyburg.
Finding this is a really great way to release some stress and has sparked my photography interest. I love heights and love photo's taken from heights .
Hope all are well
Heck found a few photo's I have already extracted

 

Bob I think Snowy is funning us and going after the newbies but bears are known for being wrong.

 

Why was Pops in the ICU,I no likey such places.

 

Severe Sleep Apnea and something else I promised I would not share , thought he was having a heart attack but he recovered well. No one likes ICU Smoke I agree with you and don't want to spend anytime in there as it claimed 4 years of my vacation between my Ma and Pop but I would do it again of course.

 

My aunt had this but it didn't do her in, she just ran out of steam because of a brain tumor. My brother has it also but CKD is likely to do him in as his are failing.

 

Amazing pics Luneyburg
Photography does a number on stress
Good to hear pops is somewhat doing well

 

Glad you got a beautiful day for a day off Luneyburg .

Yesterday I tore apart a couple of stumps, got some more leaves raked out of the area near the swamp, cut down dead flower stalks from that same area. Should have mowed the neighbor's place (he gets full sun so it grows faster than mine), but I ran out of steam and didn't want to apply more sunscreen after 4 hours working outside (and 3 dump runs to enrich their brush pile).

This picture is from a couple of years ago and I cropped it to show the 3 stumps I am trying to remove. The front two were pretty punky and insect damaged so not too difficult for me to tear apart. The large stump in back is still very solid, so I didn't even try to do anything with it (saved myself vast amounts of frustration).



You can see a rock under the tree to the right, that was entangled under one of the stumps


Rock is out - just a teenager in these parts.


Both stumps are gone and enjoying life at the dump


Now we are back in the gloomy cold and rain for the next week. There is even a mix falling not too far from me (not at my place). That stuff has the potential of hitting my area on Tuesday or Wednesday. Even if it doesn't hit, for the next 5-7 days they are predicting no sun (no solar gain) and high temps in the 40's and 50's so the stoves keep chugging along.

 

Awesome shots!! Really nice.
I bought a cheap drone... gave up.
I'm assuming that the really good ones ($$$) are a little easier to fly?

70 and beautiful yesterday, 40 and rainy today!!!

 

Yessir

I bought a cheap one that I waited forever and finally got tired of waiting so bought a better one which was good for stills to be extracted from video as the video would make you sick as it had no Gimbal. Finally said screw it I am enjoying this and bought a good one and its been very satisfying.
The more expensive ones are easier to fly most definitely .

 

I'm sure the better electronics, and heavier weight have a lot to do with the stability,
and resistance to breeze.. thus.. easier to fly...
I can relate... as I used to race r/c cars.
The ones we had, were in a different galaxy than the 'toy' type..
Thanks..

Dan

 

Well.
Wanted to put new mufflers on the bike.
Ordered some nice Rineharts.
They came in super quick, which was cool.
Figured that would be a good Sunday project.
What was not cool... was that they were not the right ones.
The part# on the box, was one digit off the ones ordered..
Glad I noticed the end flap, before putting the utility knife to the box!!

Oh well.
They will send the right ones out, with a return shipping label.
Just felt like doing it today... nice and warm in the shop..

Dan

 

*sigh* May 12...49 degrees. Stove is running.

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there.
