As much as I like automatic transmissions, for that little thing my vote is for the manual transmission.

We harvested maybe 60 lb of grapes this afternoon.

Howdy guys, No wine! Mainly table grapes, and making raisins. We made some juice last year, but we still have some left. So, probably mostly go to raisins.

Wine sounds like more fun.

Sunny 56° on its way up to mid 70s.

We are headed to a Pot Luck Birthday party this afternoon.

Going to cut up some old rusty metal (mainly surface rust) to make a new Ramp for my car trailer this morning.

Didn't have time this morning to work on the ramp. We had a good time at the pot luck, ate too much though.

I took a small nap and I'm now off to take the wife to the airport then rush back home to take kiddo to school. After all that I'll probably take a nap. Hehe

Oh yeah hey what welder do you have Tim because I'm doing research because I'm in need of a welder. I used to have a really good Miller and I loaned it to a friend and he moved away without returning it.

Merry Monday morning Washington, Tim, 350 Ken, Wayne, Ken, Steve and all the crew.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and Ma Nature was kind. It was beautiful weather here but no needed rain.

Have a great start to the week.

Tim, I would say 2 beets like that, and you would eat all winter! LOL Nice though!

I have a Lincoln 180C Mig welder, it works well. In the last maybe 8 years there was only once I wish I had more horse power. If I had to do it toady I would probably buy a Power MIG 256. I also have an Everlast 255EX TIG welder, it's also real nice but the cooling fans are a little loud. If I had the money I would look at a Miller TIG welder, lots of options but lots of money also. So far the Everlast has worked well and has lots of features, some of which I have not used or learned how to use yet.
