Happy belated birthday 843

We got the broadband back today. I drove up to the gas station to get more gas for the stihl, my favorite tree will be remembered at many fire pit's this summer. I would cut the whole thing down, but my little bubby still lands in the rubble that is left, I might have to keep it. I was surprised to see him today.

Thanks for the B-Day wishes Sam, hobbling around with this cane really has me feeling my age.

We still have our humming "Boids" round here too, man do they get grumpy on those rare nights when their feeder turns into a Slurpee.

Every once and a while I forget to bring the feeder in from the balcony and I have several irritated birds waiting for their breakfast to thaw.

hang it close to the porch light, some folks out here do that, or have rotating feeders, mine is just under the small porch, hasn't froze yet. Try running a chain saw if you want to get reacquainted with some mussels (shellfish?) you haven't used in years. I need a couple aleve's.

do not heat gun. You need hot water. Boil a kettle and pour water directly onto the wheel. Hot water quickly heats the metal, your parking brake will be free.
In cold weather no recommended to use the parking brake. Heated pads moistened with atmospheric moisture. They are then cooled and crystallizes moisture (ice). Brake pads attach to the brake drum.

I went over to my friend Brent's house and we finished up the 8 HHR front strut tower baces we custom built (7 are sold). Just needed painted up now. After we were done for the night I installed my 6" wide single carbon fiber LeMans stripe and eylids I lost after the accident and reinstalled my lower billet grille. I also used the left over carbon fiber vynil from the LeMans stripe to cover the cup holder inserts, door handle inserts and covered the rubber piece that sits in the bottom of the aux glove box in the center on the dash.
