ThongTastic Thursday Washington, Tim and all the crew.

Lets get this month rolling and headed toward spring! 77 days to Spring and counting down!

Today will be nicer than the Soothsayers defective crystal ball predicted yesterday with some sun and reaching 40-41° instead of 32°!

I hope everyone has a good and Blessed day!

31° and cloudy this morning!

Going to fire up the 3D printer today, going to make a dimple die punch to modify my yet to be assembled CNC plasma table.

Evening Tim and Ken. The most complicated repair I did today was to tighten up some screws on a closet door.

All I've done today is take the wife to the airport and take a nap. I'm thinking about taking another nap.

Fantastic Friday evening Washington, Tim, Ken, Steve, Ken and all the crew.
Not much accomplished here today as well. Cold and Sheet flying everywhere!

Have a great evening and don't party too much!

Good Saturday morning Washington, Tim and all the crew reporting.
My woods started at 20° with a windchill of about 15° but it will be partly sunny and about 32 for the high and with the wind, it will feel about 25°. Then overnight it will be 20° and about noon tomorrow the White Sheet starts and last until Monday according to all the Soothsayers and their defective crystal ball. They can't all agree if it will be 4 inches or 4 feet! Come Tuesday morning I will give you my prediction for Sunday and Monday!

Have a good and Blessed day Everyone!

Good morning crew,

They are mostly ready (still have the wires for the steering clutches) and what a difference, it is a joy to use now. I found that my left hand was starting cramp up after a while holding the go lever down. Yesterday afternoon a put a small hand clamp on the lever just on the edge to hold it down, a simple nudge of the clamp and it would disengage. I'll see if I can get an action shot today.
