Late coffee! but, come in, find a seat & enjoy a hot beverage & some social interaction. Breakfast sandwiches are cooking....and not by me! I'm blaming the late coffee on Linda. She came back from PA for a second visit & has been here since last Sunday. Since then I have no idea if it's Tuesday or Friday. I just got a phone call from Freetown Fred. Maybe the first time we've talked on the phone? He wanted to make sure I was alive & well. The answer is yes to both.

Hug your loved ones & have a smooth weekend!

Mornin everyone.

Glad to hear everything is going well your way Freddy. Also glad to hear that you got the opportunity to speak with Freetown Fred.

Supposed to be a very warm weekend down this way. 65 today and 68 tomorrow according to the internet. I'll try to get actual temps to see how close they get.

Take care and be safe all

Morning everyone....been warm here most of the week, finally stayed warm enough at night that I shut down the stoker again to save some black rocks. The propane furnace only kicks on two or three times at night so its not using much.

Good to hear things are going well for you Freddy!

Taking advantage of the warm weather and heading to NJ again this afternoon so I can finish the garage roof and redo the small porch roof also tomorrow. I'm using one of those bagster containers they sell at Lowes to get rid of the old shingles. I think its easier that way than filling the p/u and driving them home to take to the dump (since the dump over there isn't open on weekends). I'll find out today when I get down there if it survived the week without being messed with by the locals.

Gotta get moving to get the chores done here before heading east. Have a great day everyone.

Good mornin' - pulling up a chair to listen in. Too warm here in MD for the stove for the next few days so will live vicariously through my northern neighbors.

I almost went and beat on the door this am :o

Lucky I had brought a coffee with me, so I had mine on the porch by myself.

Really did have my coffee here on my covered deck at around 4:45 am...it was 54*!

Last day of the PA rifle deer season so this comes as I am strapped into a tree near 20' in the air.
My daughter is in her tree next to me.
She loves her deer hunting, in the 2 week season she only missed going out 2 days and she has a part time job too.

Oh, she likes venison jerky a lot too. :)

Looks like ya might need to use 2 gaskets on the primary or tranny if those leaks are from there--works on old pans & shovels :)

Those leaks aren't leaks...... It's a two stroke & oil is mixed with the gas. I had to pull the carburetor to clean it & am going to add an inline fuel filter. Consequently I spilled gas, it evaporated, leaving the oil.
