Belated good evening all. Just getting back home.

Been working on the pickup today. Attacked the transmission cooler line leak and finally got it narrowed down. Found a hole in the rigid line just before the connection to the flexible lines. Got that taken care of, but then found out I didn't have enough hose clamps. Guess I'll finish it up in the morning after I can get some more hose clamps.

Looks like someone(s) have been having fun at Don's shop!

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Fish were biting in the river this morning. Rooster Tails were working like a champ.

Have to run into town this morning for some hose clamps then I can finish up on the pickup transmission cooler line leak.

The weather has been great here the last week, so I have been taking advantage of it and getting things done outside. I would like to get out and do some fishing also but with all the trips to Christmas Valley has been burning the extra money. Have to go back on Wednesday oh the joys.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don, Gerry, Chris, Jim, Dave and Rob.

Finally getting back into a more normal routine after all of the graduation activities this weekend.

I cut the grass and cleaned up after the herd of dogs.

Heading over to the in-laws to stack some wood. And then a BBQ or something for my BIL's birthday.

Afternoon, just in from Portland. rode the bike over to Portland and to the race track, very good riding. Coming out of Portland this morning, I did not get out of the cold and clouds until I was above 2500' on Hood.

Good. You took a break for me!

The upper shop is cleaned of all but the South Bend mill, and the drawing table.
Next 2 days, and the bottom shop will be the same, all but the Cincinati, and the cnc will be gone. This has been a LONNNGGG and emotional 2 weeks

I think the ground has raised around the shop, lol

Is someone buying those machine tools, or are they being scrapped?

A quick flyby. Took time to watch the race, then on to some chores around here. Got the transmission cooler line problem resolved (I think) and now it is off to Dallas for fuel and then the farm chores.
