Got up at 3am left the house at 4am drove 250 miles into the cabin. pulled the spring pipe, drained 1500 gallon tank and piping to the yard and cabin. Hit a dear driving home near deer creek. I came around a corner doing 50 there were 2 of them in the other lane, they started running as I was hitting the brakes one tried to run in front of me and I bumped him doing 15-20 mph it went down then got up and ran off and didn't even hurt the truck. Marty
Looks good. Sucks about the deer. I hit one last year. Cracked the plastic bumper cover on the old truck. I'd rather hit a deer than a moose though.

The deer here are not very big 150-200# and no Moose thankfully. Where I grew up in Mi. we had mule deer and white tail those would total your car. Marty
Here you go. One is a card (both sides) and the other is a poster that has tear off papers with phone numbers for help and/or assistance. As you can see, they are compliments of the Rotary Club, so they may have them locally with local phone numbers. I hope this helps.
You're welcome. As we all know, it's a serious issue.
Local hospitals and Catholic Charities can guide you in the right direction if you and anyone you know wants to get involved.
I'm sure you are doing the right things and God will understand.
I believe I am, Lenny.
There is that thing in life all about how we operate in order to not block the potential blessings.
I can say I've been truly blessed with guidance.
So... today I'm doing the 2-10p gig.
The family are doing well, the grandies are perfect.
That makes me happy.
Went hunting this morning. Found some mud. Didn't get stuck. That's a good thing.

Dentist for the repair of 2 cracked fillings ... no waiting!!!
TSC for mouse traps because the little pests are coming in from the fields and woods as the temps drop.
Home for lunch before fencing practice. Then practice got cancelled so I did some more work on the fireplace. Only 8 more big pieces to go. But each has to be epoxied into place. 4 will require a simple cut, 4 are actually full size. There are two pieces approx 14”x7.75” that need to be cut, fitted and set. After that there is some detail work to do. Install some tile corbels, then grout (or visa versa?) The end is in sight!

Glad I didn't hit what that was attached to. Marty
I know. It's heavy. Must be a big moose to have that. First time I ever found an antler out in the woods. I did a quick search and discovered that moose antlers similar to this sell for $150-500. I have no intention of selling it.

It's crappy here too, Lenny.
Rain all day they say.
I've got an estate sale to go to again to hopefully get a small kitchen table and chairs.
Another wonderful find!
It's in Swanton. I haven't been there in years.
Then I have to contact my friend to arrange a good time for her to follow me because she has a van to transport them to my apartment.
The guy said he'd deliver them for a hefty fee.
Julie said to hell with that, I'll do it for free.
Lol
I've got a bit more running around to do as well.
I'm super busy these days when I'm not working.
Don't even have to make this stuff up.Oh. Check out the rack I found while out hunting. I did get a couple birds.

Since it's been pouring rain coupled with the fact that my legs decided they aren't working, I declared today a day of rest.
Normally I can walk fine during the day but use a cane for support incase my legs give out. That usually lasts until the evening when my thighs say F it and tense up. I then have to use a walker around the house to move around.
Today, I barely made it from the bed to the bathroom 20 feet away when my legs gave out. Nerve damage sucks. I've been pretty chair bound and useless all day.
Hopefully I can get around in a couple hours as the kids get home from school and one of us has to drive the oldest boy to his job 10 miles away. It'll be nice when he turns 16 and goes for his license. Although we have graduated licensing up here requiring new drivers to drive a year with another licensed driver in the vehicle. The second year, they can drive alone but not at night or on major divided highways. By the time they are 18, they have their full license. When I got mine, it was different. I wrote a beginner's test one month, then took a road test the following month and got my full license.

That table and chair set was beautiful, but the guy wanted way too much for them, especially since the table was scratched and one of the chair legs had a crack running the length of it.
I don't care if it was "charming and worn"..
So, I'll get what I need elsewhere.
Got the window rod and valance hung.
Love it, really makes the room pop!
Just need to get some things for the walls, then.. finis!

Business meeting this morning.
Trip to the bank to figure out how to open a checking account for a non-profit organization.
Then home to work on tile. Seems like working on tile has become my life. But there was more progress.
Never used 2 part epoxy to adhere tile to metal before but that was today's project. It worked. It stinks too. But the smell vanishes after the epoxy cures. A bit of a PITA to work with on a smooth metal finish, figured out that its best to let is start to harden before sticking the tile pieces up on the metal. Then holding it in place. Then securing it with masking tape until the epoxy has cured.

First major regional fencing tournament of the year is today at Northwestern University on the north side of Chicago. Heading up there mid-morning. One of my saber girls from high school is competing as a college sophomore. One of my epee boys and one of my saber boys from another high school is also competing, both will be among the youngest competitors as this competition is mostly college aged fencers.
Of course, I've already set more tile this morning. The last of the last of it. So now it will be GROUTING the fireplace. I hate grouting.

Does the rain and cold weather worsen your condition?
On my end, arthritis kicked into my 72 year old body last Fall and that really messed up my exercise routine.
Yes. I can feel a change in the weather for 3 days in advance before it actually hits. Today is a mixture of rain and snow. The worst weather for me.
I just came from standing outside for an hour handing out apples and collecting donations for the scouts. Rushed back home to drive my son to work. This afternoon I have to head back to the city to play music at the church.

Hi all, yesterday morning I took the old dodge for a test drive. Everything was good until I went down a steep hill and all of a sudden oil smoke off the headers. I turned around and could see an oil trail. Back at home no leak?? cleaned up the mess on the frame etc. started the engine no leak reved it up no leak. Took it for another drive, same thing. When I got home and cleaned it up again. and added oil. After some head scratching and looking I figured out what happened. The 8 quart pan fits both the LA motor as well as the magnum. I used the 1 piece magnum style oil pan gasket. The oil seals for the LA are held in place with a tab that the pan has a corresponding pocket with a hole in it. The magnum gasket is flat so there was about a 1/8" gap at the end of the pan on both sides at the timing cover. I cleaned it with acetone and added some RTV ultra black and packed it in the void and out the retaining holes. Let it sit all day and night. Today no leaks. I put the hood on filled it with gas and drove the shit out of it up and down hills. All good brought it home and cleaned it up. I am happy its done and all new but it set me back on some other projects. Marty
