Friday, Friday....

Good morning Hack and all,

I’m up and ready for another day. Going to be a wet one.
Jacob , Gabi, Shelby and the grandkids were over last night. Was long and loud. Gabi and Kristine went shopping earlier in the evening to get stuff for the Easter Sunday crawfish boil.
Have a great day on this Good Friday.

Good afternoon, Hack, Rick, Vinnie, Perry, Diugand all of TRT!

Hack - I’m impressed that you got your Easter dinner, planned and shopped for already. What’s on your menu for Easter? How is Nate doing these days?

Rick, that sounds like fun meeting up with a long time friend after work yesterday. Even better that he was able to help you with a project while you visited.

Vinnie - what kind of sides do you have to go along with the crawfish boil, and what is in the crawfish boil? I wonder if it’s like a Lowcountry boil here? (they use Louisiana shrimp, and crab boil seasoning), ears of corn, cut in half, small red potatoes, Vidalia onions, pork sausage…. That kind of stuff.

Perry , have a great time in Switzerland! You might not like chocolate, but you might like their ice cream and pastries. They might even turn your head, so you enjoy chocolate. Who knows!?

Doug, I’m glad to hear Furgee is home. It sounds like it was a good idea for the vet to keep her overnight.

Whew. I’ve had a busy day today. And all of it was centered around Good Friday. I’m exhausted but I had a good time. Right now I’m making a Jewish bread called Challah. I don’t think I’ve made it for over 40 years! I guess I better go tend to it in a second.
Starting last evening, weather was terrible: lots of spurts of heavy rain, and today the temperature dropped. It was supposed to be a high of 70 and I don’t think it ever got there or if it did, it changed its mind quickly. We have wind gusts that make it feel like it’s 41. That’s one of the reasons I’m making bread.

I’ll check back in a bit.

Afternoon all,
Just realized I had not checked in yet today,,, oops.

Early am grub store run then picked pole barn duty as the plan of the day . Ran sis’s Deere mower with dye in the engine oil,,, later found prob where the leak is coming from ,, one of the heads. Checked the interweb, and of course there were a few vids on how to do the job. Might try the lazy way out first and check the head bolt torque and see if that does the trick. Won’t know until I try it .
Took most of the rest of the lawn crew out, used some . First mow with the zero turn in the fenced in dawg yard,, makes dawgs tend to liquid fertilizer spots unevenly 🙄, so now everything is leveled out, haha. Used the big Deere to move the industrial sized oxy/acetylene tanks from pole barn to shop, after they came back from getting borrowed out. Cleaned up/out the “tack room”( read: used motor oil storage and other stuff) , and a bit of snowthrower put away for the season and mental noting what else needs to come out for summer duty wake up and oil changes etc.sigh,,,,

On a good note, got word that foster Doxie Rudy has human’s interested in adopting him, need to contact them and answer questions they might have about him, above what they already know about him,,, fingers crossed.

Speaking of multiple carbs, I had a ‘70 Datsun 240Z sound ‘77,, and wondered if the carbs were set properly . Luckily my dad had a childhood buddy that was a import mech and drag racer ,,, and took the car to his place and he showed me how “easy”( in this case) it was to adjust carbs. Each carb had a “shut off” button,,, block a carb and adjust the other correctly,, then vice versa/repeat. I don’t wanna say it ran so much better , but rumor🙄🤫 has it that it went 120 that nite .

On to the remaining daylight ,,

Hope everyone is having a great day👍🏼
