The leg and ankle are feeling better, still had a heck of a time climbing the latter. Put new LED lights in the shop, still need to replace 6 more florescent bulbs. That UFO looking thing hanging from the ceiling is a heater from a chicken house, 40,000 BTU runs off propane, a guy I know gave...

Since I've had time to think, I need to do just that Slow, WORK I can do. I've gotten spoiled to the oilfield money and the time off, but this is a young mans job and I'm no longer a young man, a lot of these guys are younger than my daughter. last days off I just happened to meet the guy that...

Ooo I know, I've already been treated like a criminal. All that report every incident no matter how small flew right out the window. I could tell by all the higher ups body language that this wasn't setting well with them. I figure they're trying to cover their butts and screw me around at the...

Got to use one of my lifts last days off. It sure beats crawling around on my back trying to change my oil. Realized quickly that I need one of those oil catch pans on wheels with the extension, the 5 gallon bucket and wire hanger wasn't the best, but it worked.

Did this second day of my hitch, been laid up the last 5 days unable to get my work boot on. I was using a 4ft cheater bar to get a little more leverage ( frowned upon, wasn't correct tool ) when the bar slipped sending me and the cheater bar sprawling. Didn't feel anything twist or pull...

Repurposed our old recessed lighting today, instead of paying 180 to 200$ for new lighting, I spent 46$ on LED bulbs and some spray paint and got rid of the halo rings on the old lights. I think they turned out pretty awesome, I know the sucker's are bright!!

This isn't really DX related, but since you mentioned slick roads. Slow I got the scare of my life yesterday morning in WV. The road was really better than I expected, clean for the most part, just some patches of frozen packed snow here and there. Traffic had come to a stop and thank goodness I...

That sounds like a plan. JUST CRAZY!!

Well I left for work Monday afternoon, and before I got 30 miles from the house my daughter calls and tells me my chainsaw is also at the pawnshop, something my wife failed to inform me of. So that's an extra $ 150. So that makes $270 I've had to pay to get my stuff back. I thought about what...

My goodness!! -6, At that temperature I can see why it wasn't much fun!

Not a bad idea Slow! But I probably shouldn't push my luck or she may take my corner away from me.

Yeah, then again my wife may have different plans, I'm not even going to act like I'm the boss. Lol!! I have a confession to make. My radio room has became her other pantry, but I'm allowed to have a corner of it for my radio room. I'm definitely not the boss, but like they say if momma ain't...

I think I'm gonna try and get a 5 element Gizmotchi for the house and put the V quad on the shop radio. Haven't decided if I'm gonna keep the 102 as my ground plane or go with a commercial ground plane. I'm still tossing around ideas in my head, I've got to get something stout enough for a 5...

It's a little windy tonight, so I thought I'd see if the pig palace was drafty. So I opened the door and these two were passed out. Seemed pretty cozy inside to me, these two never woke up. I think their living high on the hog.:ROFLMAO:

My 102 whip at the moment

The wife got a new stove, but because of the way it was shaped she couldn't set her salt and pepper shakers on the back of it like she could on her old one. So I got on Pinterest and copied this little shelf, I think it turned out pretty good, at least she happy with it (y)

Well, it's up and running. But nothing but dead air :( my antenna system is just temporary for the moment, but it's up and running.

It is satisfying Slow. I was thinking how much I've been enjoying working on this new house. Its funny, my attitude has done a 180 compared to working on my old place. But I gave her fair warning last night, that Madison radio is priority #1 today :)

Been busy staining the scuff marks on the cabinets, they were treated pretty rough but I think I camouflaged them pretty good.
