For a joke, someone pushed his work recliner to the middle of the room and he can't reach the computer! OH, and there was something said Like "I not getting out of it and wasting my energy to move it!" and that is where it will stay!

Fantastic Friday Nebraska, Pat, Kenny, Ken, George, Lee, TC and all the crew. Looks to be a steamy day in WV and maybe storms this afternoon.

You are behind the times a bit, Rod. A couple of years ago, Pat got a motorized recliner on wheels with a beer cooler, canopy and computer desk. It fits in his truck or small trailer so easily transported to different power plant locations.

Thanks for getting this open, Ken! Sorry, was off yesterday, cleaning up the mess at my MIL's farm. Had sustained 80-90 mph winds from a thunderstorm Wednesday evening, it was like a freaking hurricane! Lasted over a half hour. Omaha had over 200,000 without power. It was nuts. Lost a 125 year old sycamore tree at the farm, and a bunch of others. Going to be a busy weekend out there cleaning up also!

Sorry to hear that Pat. West of Lincoln we didn't even have many little limbs come down. I was surprised when I was getting calls from work that it was bad, then found out about Bellevue/Omaha. Our backup data center is still without power today and running on generator.

Good luck on cleanup. That's never any fun.

Hope everyone is ok, Pat. I'm debating on buying a chipper for cleanup ,($$) having someone come in with a chipper ($$$$) or just piling the brush in the hedge row (0$) Don't want to try to burn it. Too dry out.

Good afternoon Nebraska, Pat, Lee, TC, George, Ken, Kenny and all the Husker crew.
Pat, Hope the cleanup isn't too hard. I knew there was some storms out there but for once I didn't get any weather notifications on how bad it was.
Lee, How is the south and the Knee/Hip? Don't remember with all the Old Farts on FTE having Drivetrain parts replaced!

Good Saturday Nebraska, Pat, Lee, George, Kenny, TC and all the Husker crew. After the rain we didn't get in my WV woods yesterday, it will actually be a nice day. Partly sunny, 85°, 50%rh, index of 86° and a breeze.
I hope everyone had a great weekend eve party and made it to at least 2100. Enjoy the weekend!

Happy Sunday! Not traveling a there this weekend so got some time in the garage on the 71 for once. Got the new seat installed and steering column. Supposedly I have the original column sold so I wanted to swap that.

Procrastinating cleaning of all the engine internals. Sure would be easier to buy all new parts…. I did fix the hose in the garden that the rabbits chewed up as well as one sprinkler head that was jacked up. Hoping it cools down some this week.

Good morning, all! Looks like another hot nasty week ahead from the little bit of the weather forecast I got to see. Maybe some rain later this week?
