    Back when I was a teen a quick thaw broke up the thick ice in our creek. Me and two friends spent all afternoon riding them down our creek. We would jump on as they came out through our bridge. As the afternoon went on the warm weather was making the ice thinner. My two friends ended up in...

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    A little bummed about the Bills. They have a great team and chemistry. They have pulled off miracles this season. Came up a little short. Snow and cold isn't all that bad. When you get the amount of 40 and 50 mph winds we have had this year it sucks pretty bad.

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    More snow, artic temps, and plenty of wind for good measure. Wonderful. Wednesday is supposed to be only fairly mild day as far out as the forecast goes. Winter sucks.

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    10 out. A foot of snow yesterday. More on the way. Single digits next week. Better than rain I guess.

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    Artic blast coming tonight with a good amount of snow. Once again NWS was way behind the TV forecasters. How can that be? That's my major complaint with them. They stick with the same forecast for days lagging behind other sites updates.

    Exercise

    My Dad prescribed to the do work instead of exercise plan. He would see somebody jogging and say he had some oat they could shovel.

    Machining/welding/millwright…molten metal

    Pretty heavy duty. Bad weld cause failure? Looks like it could use a bigger engine and pump for the size of the cylinder.

    How'd it go today?

    Looks good. I would weld a washer on the end of the bolt with a nut welded on to the washer. That way you could thread it in a few turns and clean up any boogers on the threads from drilling. The washer trick works better than a nut anyway. Easier to get a good weld than through a nut.

    How'd it go today?

    Depends if the bolt has threads all the way up to the head that broke off. Take another bolt out to see.

    What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

    51 overnight. 26 now and dropping. Winds with gusts up to 70 mph. Lots of dead ash blowing over. Saw a power pole with a transformer on it snapped off half way up. Got my generator running yesterday. Surged a little. Drained out the 2 gallons that was in it and put in fresh gas. Good...

    Tree covered in poison ivy

    Are you allergic? When I was there I asked if there was poison ivy. Was told no. What is it called?

    Tree covered in poison ivy

    Fast Orange has worked for me without scrubbing. I am pretty allergic. Pumice in it might be doing the scrubbing. I think the oil is pretty easy to get rid of. Getting it off in time is important. My son weed wacks and lawn mows it and he is not immune. Wears shorts a lot too. I'll have...

    Fels Naptha laundry soap is the old standby. Fast Orange is good. Anything that cuts grease and oil. Wouldn't hurt to have it right on the job site and wash every hour if you are very allergic. Pretty miserable stuff.

    Wash within an hour, preferably less. I have not got it in years doing it that way. Other than my sisters friendly dog rubbing it on me.

    Tree covered in poison ivy

    They claim American Indians used to do that. Also read you can get it in your throat. Scary.

    Tree covered in poison ivy

    If you are fairly allergic even dead vines and the hair left on the wood after you pull the vine off are still potent. I have heard some people can just get close to it and get it. Doesn't sound reasonable to me. I know burning it is not good. I know I have got some blisters from handling...

    Up and down like a yo yo. Pushing 60 Thursday. 25 yesterday.

    What can you do?

    My neighbor to the north a bit over 1/4 mile has a horse barn in line with my house. They put up a led outside light that was on all the time that looked liked the rising sun to me. I like to look at the night sky, northern lights, comets, etc. I finally found the right time to mention it...
