Hi all, today I removed 2 wedges from the rear of the rear end spring perch. When I broke the u joint a couple of weeks ago towing the snow cat I think what happened is there were 2 wedges pointing the driveline yoke up in angle to far and when it got under a heavy load like pulling 10,000# up a steep hill the rear end rotated up some more and the driveline and the yoke came into contact and it ripped it out of the yoke. Also up graded from 1/2" U bolts to 5/8". When I tested it a mystery vibration is gone. Marty

Have fun, Lenny.
'tis my weekend to work.
I'll be on "the ward".
Yay.
I hope it goes well.
I didn't buy anything at the gun show but it's always fun to be around like-minded people.
I can almost guarantee that with all those guns and all those people at the show, that there wasn't one single shot fired off let alone a mass shooting. Just goes to show that.maybe guns aren't the problem.
Correct! But if hundreds of people take illegal drugs they got because our borders are wide open and shoot people because they are high, yup, they blame the guns!
Back when I was working one of the liberal professors from Auburn came I while I was talking to a hunting buddy, the professor heard gun and ad started his liberal anti-gun attack. We stood and listened to his rant then I asked if he was finished and I fired back, I told him that I had a bunch of guns and not a single one had escaped and killed or maimed a single soul, then I bet him that I could take my evil 44 magnum pistol place it on a table and that it would rust into nothing and never hurt anyone, and that a gun was incapable of hurting anyone unless done ignorant or evil person picked it up . The professor was ready to start his rebuttal when several customers who had gathered around and had heard the whole thing started to agree with me. I lost a customer that day, and I bet I was the subject of a discussion in the professors lounge.
I hope so too.
I might go back for some more group therapy...er...I mean to the gun show again.
Lenny I worked a long time in Auburn and most of the professors that I was exposed to might have been book smart but not much real world or common sense from what I saw. I also worked a while in Phenix City Ala. (close to Fort Benning Ga) lots of military folks there, lots of common sense to.
We went Christmas light this year. Too busy with work and the new Springfield house to go overboard.
Out side was a nativity and 40' of blue lights on the Front Soffit
Only two Christmas trees one was artificial.
Bunting was at a minimum of about 50 feet of windows and front entrance
Started this morning and except for putting it all in offsite storage we are done'!!!
Pizza is en route.

Yup! I have a friend who teaches psychology. I make a comment about people buried in their smart phones for hours and then when someone tries to talk with them, they regurgitate meaningless words they've been saving up all day. To me it was an obvious observation but she said she needed to research it!!!! On the good side, we do go to Trump rallies and do conservative political things together.
Got all that done today and some preventive maintenance on the tracks. Details in the tracked 4x4 section. Marty
Plowed the driveway quickly first thing this morning then off to the city to look for a bleeder valve for our boiler system. Air in the system is causing an awful squealing noise when the boiler is trying to circulate water. We have in floor heating downstairs along with a furnace fan for upstairs. Water from the boiler feeds through pipes into the furnace fan into a coil. The fan pushes air through the coil and blows heat upstairs. But when there's air in the system it sounds like a moose mating call when the pump shifts gear to allow water through the system. Good system when it works.
Busy morning here.
I've got today off, but have a mandatory nurses meeting at 2.
Just put a big crock pot of vegetable beef soup on to cook all day.

To me a major downside of social media happens when you see a friend you have not seen in awhile. You try to have a conversation with them and tell them what's been happening with you and they will say oh yeah, I saw that on FB. No questions or comments on the event ...but get cut off mid sentence with yeah, I saw that. Well shit. You want to share some stuff but you might also want to talk about it with friends. If you share all your life on line you have nothing to talk about. I do share some but I limit what I share for that reason and for privacy. Some of us still value privacy, the younger folks among us not so much from what I've seen.
Busy week here. Doctor appointments Mon, Tues and Weds which wife and I put off till after holidays. Financial Adviser Thurs ..then babysitting Friday and Saturday and grand daughters horse show Sunday. The fun never stops. LOL

I dont have to be as those people know me very well.
Just like here, I share a lot, but not everything.
A little mystery is a good thing! Lol
I've got a niece who is annoying as hell on FB with some of the goofy relationship stuff she shares.
I often tell her to knock it off!!
Then she apologizes to me in text after I tell her if her Mother were still alive, she would not approve.
Talented student or a good teacher?
Obviously a very talented student
I think her volunteer high school coach had something to do with her success!
Just got done talking with her. She is between the "pool" and the "elimination" rounds of the event.
She beat the Olympian and lost her focus. She dropped a couple easy bouts. I think I calmed her back down. She won BIG, but lost SMALL. Back to focusing on the next touch. That is the one that matters. The next one is only one that ever matters.
I think she will be ready to be back on her game.
FWIW, I am not with her at this event so I'm coaching by telephone from afar.

Coaching via phone?
That's talent!
That's talent!
Well its over.
She is disappointed and I don't blame her. But that said, she fenced great.
Got knocked out of the tournament in the DE rounds by the #1 ranked fencer at the event. Made the girl fight for the victory, but in the end a loss is a loss.
I think she can go home proud, even if disappointed.

FWIW, female saber fencers seem to reach peak performance in the late 20's to early 30's. Our top female Olympian is 33.
Dasha is only 18 and is already competing at their level. Her skills probably won't peak for another decade!

Busy day today. The last of 5 kids left on the bus at 7:45am. I headed to the city to pick up a brake line for the plow truck. Home by 8:30. Brake line installed and brakes working by 10:30. Did a bit of plowing. Nice to plow with brakes again. Lol
Did a dump run then picked up some gas in a nearby town. When I was leaving the gas station I noticed a metal on metal grinding noise coming from the front passenger side. So back home to pull the front tire on the truck. Quick easy fix. When I did the brakes a few days ago, the dust shield got bent and was barely rubbing the edge of the rotor. I bent it back and put the tire back on. It's fine now. Then I headed to the city for the first of two medical appointments. I have been having stomach problems for a few months. My dr ordered a whole slew of tests including a double ended scope, bloodwork, and an ultrasound. Next appointment today was with a specialist for the first trial foam injections on my varicose veins on my legs. I go for the full treatment on Tuesday.
This evening was a bunch of housework. Sweeping and mopping. Vacuuming. Cleaning up the kitchen. Etc. Nothing exciting.
