Remember the rest of us want to see the blonde........
That thought occurred to me yesterday. I would be very surprised if the bearing doesn't need to be replaced. If I had marshmallows with me, we could have made smores......... The ranger at camp saw us coming and followed us down the road to the main part of camp. he went to lower the Bushhog on the John Deere, and the hydraulic system froze on it. Just what he needs to deal with at the height of the growing season down there. Just not a good day all around.
Yeah I like that. All that wood would drive Jan nuts, But I like it!! When you moving??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

hello gents,
just got back from the safety & health and Fire & Rescue expo in Birmingham,,, what can i say but fantastic, got about 40 lbs of books, cup's stickers, chocolate, high viz jackets for the kids and DVD's to name just a few.
one of the first things to amaze me was a Norwegian blonde,,,LOL she was almost 7ft tall, i felt like a dwarf
JEFFERY How does a fire truck with a 335 HIGH hydraulic platform grab you, honest 335ft all on a five axle chassis.
I put a PC screen with 240 volts going through it in what looked like a fish tank full of water, and guess what it STILL worked and i didn't die, you put your hands in and it was just like water but when you took them and the PC out,,,hey presto, instant dryness, the product "NOVEC" fire retardent, it is sprayed under high pressure from a sprinkler type head which turns it into a mist which goes everywhere putting the fire out, then within ten mins everyones back at there PC's or what ever, it's even been tested on 100'000 volts with not a spark or even a milliamp being transfered.
me with my hand in a tank of novec and 240 volts
and a nice Peterbilt truck from the Netherlands

Morning guys, I think I'll have weetbix, toast and coffee thanks Flo
After a good nights sleep and a talk over with Jan I think I'll just sit back and relax over the house, we do need to move from here before next Friday. If I get to pushy with the builders they may as Rex said get sloppy. The house will be ready it's just the landscaping and fence I'm p***** off about.
The flu is better today so I can venture out to the house and see whats up, carpet hopefully

Good morning. Thank God it's Friday! I'll be heading out to work at 7:30 but I'm looking forward to this weekend. A three day weekend.
Today's Weather for:
Sundown, LA 71446-6114 5/25/2007
Sundown Fire Dept., Station 23
Wind Chill: 66°F
Humidity: 96%
Dew Point: 65°F
So Far Today
High: 69°F
Low: 66°F
Rain: 0.01"
Rain Rate: 0.00"/h
Gust: 6mph SE
Today High: 85 Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the mid 80s. Southeast winds around 10 mph.
Tonight Low: 65 Mostly clear. Lows in the mid 60s. Southeast winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light and variable.
The Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of the summer of 2007, will be full of warm and calm weather along both coasts even as the central U.S. stays a bit stormy.
Saturday:
High pressure dominating the weather on both the East and West coasts will produce warm and pleasant conditions and abundant sunshine for both seaboards.
Afternoon temperatures will be unseasonably warm, with 80s likely throughout the East, Southeast and Gulf Coast. The West will have a bigger range of temperatures, with the Northwest and Intermountain seeing highs in the 70s and the Great Basin, interior California and the Rockies climbing into the 80s. The Desert Southwest will be the warmest as the mercury shots through the 90s and into the triple digits.
Squeezed between the two high pressure systems is a weakening front. Energized by early-day sunshine and fed by abundant Gulf of Mexico moisture, a fresh round of thunderstorms will be possible across the Southern and central Plains and throughout the Great Lakes.
Temperatures will generally be in the 70s and 80s across the Plains, with areas of the northern Plains not climbing out of the 60s.
Sunday:
The second day of the holiday weekend will be very similar to Saturday, with more storms for the Central Plains and Great Lakes and warmer and dry weather across the West and South.
The only big change will be found in the Northeast and parts of the Ohio Valley, where early-morning sunshine will give way to increasing clouds and a chance of late-day showers and thunderstorms. A few storms will also be possible across south Florida and over the northern Rockies.
The hottest temperatures will be found across the Desert Southwest, where highs will easily climb into the triple digits. Temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s will be found across the rest of the Southwest, Great Basin, inland California as well as parts of the interior South and along the Gulf Coast.
Highs across the rest of the West, Central Plains and Northeast will generally be in the 70s and 80s, with a few 60s found in the western Great Lakes.
Memorial Day:
Like a broken record, the extended holiday weekend will end the same way it began, with a scattering of thunderstorms across the Central U.S. and very warm weather across the West and Southeast.
The scattered afternoon thunderstorms will mostly be found across much of the southern and east central Plains. Additional storms will make their way into the northern Plains, Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic late in the day.
The West will continue to warm up with the area seeing highs in excess of 90-degrees expanding into more of the Great Basin, southern Rockies and spilling out into west Texas. The Desert Southwest will continue to see highs in the triple digits, while the Northwest reaches into the 70s and low 80s.
Temperatures in the East and South will also be on the warm side as the thermometers climb well into the 80s to near 90 degrees.
If a flash flooding warning is issued for your area, quickly act and head for higher ground. Remember, never drive across flooded roads, swift moving water can easily lift a car and sweep it downstream. Turn Around, Don't Drown!

Mornin' Bill!
Mornin' Jeffrey!
This weekend is not starting out very well..... Yesterday while towing a trailer filled with a ramp from my in-laws old house (about 2 tons of weight) out to Boy Scout Camp, one of my front brakes decided to sieze up on me. Thought she was towing hard, but I figured it was the weight. By the time I got to camp I noticed the smell of burnt brake and found it was handling bad! After unloading the trailer, I parked the trailer out there, and found the brakes had cooled down enough that I had braking again. My Brother-in-law and my son who were towing another load of the wood out there followed me home. The repair shop can't look at the damage until next wednesday, so I am stuck at the house pretty much for the weekend.
The good news is my Daughter-in-law is very close to giving birth, so I will be a Grandfather soon.... I guess I will get some work done for a couple customers and do some garden work that should have done a few weeks ago. Might actually work on the layout for a while......

Afternoon All ! And a nice start to a Memorial Day Weekend ! Hope everyone has a real nice and safe Holiday !!

It's a pretty good bet the wheel bearing needs to be repacked, if it isn't toast already. Same thing happened to me a while back. Both front calipers locked up due a fault in the master cylinder. The heat burned all the grease out of the bearings and roasted them. That was over $350 in repairs.

VERY impressive considering here in the states, if you're in a building that high and its on fire, the fire departments call you and say "Jump... we'll catch you".
