The Good Morning Thread

[Sasquatch]

Good morning friends! Happy Friday. I feel truly blessed to have another day on God's beautiful earth. Everything is not perfect in my life but I give my troubles to God and ask for his help. I hope you all have a safe and productive weekend.

Morning Sas, for the record your post is at noon here. You west coast folks run about 2 hours behind for some reason...

Yea, I am at war with my new 7 year old plasma cutter. Trying to decide if it's me, or does it need some additional hardware, 12 ga, 300 win mag, 44 mag? Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Maybe Ill just pour some beer on it, see if that helps. It usually works for me.

Good morning you malcontents and misfits! Cold front is coming through, only 98 today at the homestead and 80% humidity.

Good morning you guys!

I'm catching up on deep cleaning. Yesterday was the living room, today is the master bedroom, tomorrow the kitchen. PO knows to stay outta my way!

Good morning. Mid 70's and rain for this afternoon here on the Cheddar Curtain.

I learned two things about the plasma cutter yesterday. It is a high frequency start, but the air gap at the beginning of the cut needs to be about .010" or so. I had a piece of 11ga on my steel sawhorses. Looked underneath, cool, saw horse is about 3" in from where I want to cut. Started cutting, after about a foot the cut went to hell, blow back, splatter, crap. Realized saw horse was at an angle to my cut, and it tried to cut about 3/8" of an inch into the 1" plate underneath.

So both issues were operator error, plasma cutter does not have any bullet holes in it... yet.

Good morning OTP. Thunderstorms just finished, looks like this week will be hot and humid. Ill head out to the shop at some point later this morning, usually my two mechanic friends will show up and we will enjoy cold tools.

Party on Wayne. Party on Garth.

T-Dog 1066 decided that we needed to get up at about 5:15 today. Who put him in charge???

Good morning!

Good morning, everybody.
We both got up early to do some storm prep; looks like a nasty one is rolling up inside the Gulf of America. Don't think it will hit us directly but it should bring 2-3 days of desperately needed rain.

Yer Govner is saying up to a foot of rain in some areas 3 to 4 inches in others Yikes!

Baton down the hatches.

Good morning my fellow miscreants. Well, this AM I am up early. Turns out that Thunderstorm way out in the middle of the gulf of America that no one was worried about turned into a tropical storm and it is now heading straight for yours truly. Nothing major though, just barely a Tropical storm at 40 MPH winds. The storm track has it pushing just to our west by maybe 20 miles which puts us on the dirty side of the storm. We are going to get rain, maybe 6 to 10 inches. Won't be much wind but that much rain can weaken the ground around trees so we may or may not lose power. Gens are ready and everything is charged. Landfall is predicted to be around 1 today. Ya gotta love Texas.

I'm sure you guys will do fine! That is why we prep.

Keep the powder dry and the beer cold!
