Morning Sailor ! Hope you got a lot of work done on the TT yesterday but with having to go to HD job I'd guess you didn't get as much done as you would have wanted . How's the POD looking like for today ?

 

Howdy to all the fine Cowboys, Sailors, Rustlers and Patriots......

Taxi duty completed... No crashes !!
New task added to the TT work list...... Going to have 4 new tires put on. The current ones are old and one is flat. Best to start out with fresh quality tires.

Yesterday was a long day..... Did get a little done on the TT project
Today I am all ready to build the new support beam.... 11 feet long. 1.5" x 3.75"
Home today.... No Orange duties today or tomorrow. Focus is on the TT Project.

POD:
Taxi duty
TT Project
Cook dinner
Slack time

Weather is being nice to me today...... No rain expected !!
64° with 46% Humidity..... High expected to be 77°F....... 10 - 15 mph winds..... Sunny, blue sky with some clouds floating around....

Have a bunch of fun today.......

 

Morning Sailor ! Hope you gor a lot accomplished yesterday on the TT. I'd hold off on the tires till last.... never can tell what you might yet find on it. What's up for today ? Me? Cleaning up around my computer...it's a mess. Stormy day here and a tornado watch already...... until after midnight. I did get that flower garden done yesterday !

 

Good morning to all the fine Cowboys and Patriots.....

Feet hit the deck about 0530 this morning..... Just seemed awake, time for coffee....
Read up on some real news..... Ordered more ammo.... ....

Gray morning so far..... 53°F light breeze and 63% humidity. High for today is expected to hit 75°F
No Home Depot today.... I am going to shop there this morning, I need a "grill" cover that will be used to cover my Table Saw. I have the saw outside right now, Gives me more room to use it.

The house is waking up.... Lynn was up with me, Theresa is now alive, sorta.... Lynn is home today. I will have adult supervision .....
The order of the day is the TT project..... Yesterday I picked up some wood screws I needed, Flat head #12 x 12 1/4. Got a box of 100. Only need about a dozen right now, but I'll have others for another project.

I just hope there is no rain today.... Doesn't look good ???

Have fun my friends.......

 

Again... You and I were posting at the same time......

I am glad we don't get Tornados here in Great Falls.....

 

Tornado watch just S of here in NC

 

When I was stationed at NATTC Millington TN (Just north of Memphis TN) I remember the Tornados... I was not fond of Tornados and Cotton Mouth snakes......

 

I was there in 1960 into early summer '61...don't recall ANY bad weather.

 

I once bought a car from Northern Virginia. Took it to NY and was cleaning the leaves off the cowl area, found a little about 18" Copperhead. Good thing it was cold out so that guy wasn't moving very fast.

 

Fantastic Friday evening Montana, Roy, Bud, George, Tim and all the Cowboy Crew. 70° and rain most all day but nice just the same. I have been out in the rain and soaked twice today and it wasn't cold. OH and we haven't had ant Nader juice in my woods from the weather!
As for Snakes, Blacksnakes are welcome until you start robbing the eggs and then it has to go! I don't fear copperheads or eastern diamond backs or rattlers in general.
Cottonmouths need to be exiled! Don't like them!

Side note; Once in Yellowstone park we dropped DD off for a 4 hour trail ride into the hills. Becky and I went to an overlook of a valley one direction and falls the other direction. It was about 300yds walk from the parking area past the giftshop slash hamburger and hotdog shop combined in one building. As you walked past the was the bathrooms and you passed them was a 2 level slopped flower bed. On the way back from the falls and passing the flower bed I herd the noise! Becky said what is it and I said Rattler in the flower bed. We walked about 10 feet and told one of the park rangers and he freaked out and started blocking off the area. He called for another ranger and went hunting. Well we didn't leave and they found it. They were talking about how big it was and I laughed. It wouldn't equal a day old eastern diamond back. It couldn't have been more than 15-18 inches.
