Slow on here this afternoon

Hey everybody.

 

[teacherman]

And a good evening it is. Dinner was well received by the Primate and his mother; the word "choke-downable" was not used to describe my efforts. This is a term we use when the experiment can be ingested without lasting harm and will likely sustain life, at least in the short term...

Nancy is supervising the Primate's bath, taken in a plastic beverage tub, he having outgrown the blue protein tub we used to use.

Have a good evening, gentlemen.

There's actually two.
One is the Spfd National Cemetary in Spfd. My father's father is buried there.
WWI veteran of France. He witnessed one of his commanders kill a German POW machine gun operator with a pick.
My mother's brother is buried there. KIA in the Philippines 4 months before the surrender of the Japanese. 4 months. He was 19. It took 2 years to get his body back to Missouri. I have his saddle he bought out of the Sears catalogue on a stand in my living room.
My Great Uncle, my mothers uncle. He was in North Africa. He bought 640 acres of land, that now sits on the border of a National Forrest southeast of Ava, Mo when he got home from the war.
He died from a stroke in his front yard. I learned a lot from him.
The Missouri Veterans Cemetary you can actually see from highway 65 as you cross Spfd lake going south to Branson. It was started about 15 years ago because the National Cemetary was full.
The National Cemetary was started after the Cival War and was actually in two sections. Union in the main Cemetary and a separate section, that had a wall around it, for the Conferderate section. Most of the graves are marked "Unknown" in that section. A number of years ago the confederate section was included with the rest of the Cemetary under the premise that men from both sides died for their "United States" of America. I have a great deal of respect for both sides. I walk the Cemetary fairly often, visiting my relatives. One I knew fairly well. One I only met a couple of times, when I was a child, and one I never met.

Gpa was buried in Higginsville last summer. Didn't know if we were talking about the same cemetery? Not sure how many Missouri had.


Good evening midlanders

Morning folks. I'm not familiar with the different craftsman branded saws. What am I looking at here? Guy has it priced at $50.00 and sounds like it needs a carb kit.

That is a consumer grade Poulan. Pretty much the same as their 4018 model, or a Wildthing, or several other names that they've been marketed under. Not generally worth much to anyone on here, but I had one for my main woodcutter for 2 years until I learned a little about saws. I always have a couple on hand to give out for loaners. They're usually cheap enough that you can learn how to do most repairs on them without breaking the bank. That's almost identical to the first one Digger rebuilt. It's still running well as far as I know and that's been more than a couple of years ago. As with most tools, they will last as long as they are properly maintained and used for their intended purpose.

Mark Hoskey had a craftsman one time, IIRC, that was actually made by Solo.
Was a nice saw.

Well, a new dishwasher is in our immediate future. A Bosch, only seven years old, the lower spray just does not have enough force to clean. The upper seems to do better, but a load today left peanut butter in a bowl. I know it heats, I know it fills, I know neither spray arm is obstructed, I know I have always kept the microscreen clean. Piths me off that a relatively expensive machine shot craps this soon, but it doesn't seem worth it to start replacing pumps, impellers, and the like. New appliances are so poorly made, and the electronic automaticity of them is frustrating. My buddy says Whirlpool is still the one to get, but my new upright freezer has failed its control unit twice in two years, and our new washer doesn't spin fast enough to get most of the water out of the clothes.

Ah, first world problems.

Thankful this is the sort of thing taking up my time, rather than Islamists and anti-police rioters and so forth.

Good afternoon y'all. Highs in the mid 20s today and sunny. Should be a good day for cutting and splitting. I have a lot of locust and hedge to process for my parents.

 

[67L36Driver]

Our new cloths washer is enviro friendly. No way to select a water level. Consequently my skin is breaking out from the detergent left over.

I’ve had to select a second rinse

Could it be some kind of limescale build up? Maybe try running vinger or something or something like it through it.

I always put vinegar in the rinse aid dispenser, so that part should be OK.

LOLOL once my stepdaughter put a dishwasher detergent packet in the rinse aid thing, in addition to one in the soap slot. Yee haw young people

Burned half a cord of seasoned Ash in 3.5 days with this cold weather. Pretty normal for January.

Guess I'll stop complaining about mine.
In the last 4 days I've burnt about 1/2 Rick. But then, mine doesn't run 24/7 either.
