That is some nice art work Jeff. I admire you people with artistic talent I can't draw stick people.

Well I finally managed to get up and on line....this Vista program really hacks me off.  Updates to the security and operating software take over the stupid thing.  Can't even look at the news!  Then when the updates are all done and over with the system operates flawlessly.....coffee, third cup, news paper done, saw the obit for I fellow street rodder that I did a bunch of work for in the past.  67, too young....had cancer.

No new news, still plugging away on the shop projects between getting ready to visit the kids for Thanksgiving.  Going to have all three and all five grandkids together this year.  First time since 2001, life (ours and their's) has gotten in the way.  Looking forward to the mayhem!

'Morning guys.
Jeff...have fun in Mass! We'll hopefully do it at a later date. I was thinking when you did come we could give your friend John Stromberg a lookup....I know he and Bob Owens are friends as well.
Bill..sounds like you got a "platefull" for Thanksgiving..great to hear. My wife is off work today...hurrying me to get dressed and go grocery shopping. Too darn cold to work in the garage today anyways. Later

BRRRR! 24 degrees supposed to get up to 47 later on, 72% humidity no wind they were/are expecting some in the 25mph range. Going to stay indoors and work on kitchen and watch grand daughters. All out of hot chocolate and marshmallows. At least its clear skies and sun shining.

Rich, this is a prawn like you can get at the Red Lobster restaurants. One out of 4 traps had some, it's sure nice out on the water when the weather is nice in the mornings. I don't envy all this talk you guys are making about the cold weather, we've had a bit of frost this week because we've had some sun and if we've seen the sun it probably means it's going to rain in a couple of days.

Well I have just been nominated to replace the carpet in the dining room with hardwood floors before Thanksgiving! Guess what im doing tomorrow?

[RICH MUISE]

guess I was right...shrimpy lobsters. I can imagine how nice it is out there when the weather is good. That's beautiful country you live in. Sounds like you had a good day.
4thgen...whatcha doin' tommorrow?
You must be laying down prefinished stuff if you're going to be finished for Turkey. That sure makes life a whole lot easier than the old days laying raw wood, sanding, sanding, sanding  varnish, varnish, varnish. And that's not even mentioning the god awful mess it made.

Hmm, guess what you're doing tomorrow,..... filing for divorce?

Negative, a trip to lowes and the carpet is now removed. So what was a lower quarter for the custom is now bundles of wood flooring in the back of truck.

Bill, I leave mine on 24/7. It is set to do updates and full security scans at 3 am. It'll restart itself if required.

Hmm..not sure what I did on that post, but I guess you can figure out I was quoting Bill, and my reply.

Morning guys. Still cold outside but the air is still, so it isn't too bad..got the heaters turned on in the garage, so hopefully in a few hours I can get out there. That storm that hit the SW is headed here later today though.
We've got 4 cats that live outside that won't come in. water dish frozen solid! 2 of the 4 have had their shots, and have been fixed. 2 others still a little too wild yet. Our 4 inside cats  have all been fixed. Neighborhood was being overrun with cats a few years ago. Had to take a bunch to the "shelter"..just killed me. Funny...all three of our dogs know which cats are ok, and which to run off. Fun to watch our cats go up and nuzzle our Husky.
Got my security system fixed Thurs., btw. This guy actually knew what he was doing. He took one look at where my garage was, and said "I know your problem,it's too far. I've got a booster unit in the truck that'll take care of it." Had it installed in 20 minutes and then came in and upgraded the radio in our panel from a 2G to a 4G. He's built a couple older trucks, so we talked about that for a while. We were talking about getting old, he asked how old I was. I told him I'd be 67 next week. Turns out he was also born on Thanksgiving.

Cold outside my azz! Its like 6 degrees in Milwaukee this morning.  The wife and I are enjoying our morning coffee at the local Firestone shop getting a wheel bearing replaced on the caddy.  Not planned but I guess when I replaced the other one 5,000 miles ago I should have done both. 140,000 miles on a wheel bearing is doing good I guess.

Been there done that, hope you were smarter then me and bought an instillation tool, I didn't. I made it to the end of the first row and then had to head for the shop and build a homemade one
