The Ark

I've watched Second Hand Lions twice.

A great story for sure.

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies."


...amen, brother.

Tel cons 0-3 GR + 0.5.  Long story that makes one cry.  Sol' maybe in 3  x 24.   We are doom

Great Movie.

Hi Goofy, say what?

Under a tornado watch up here until 3 AM.

I hate it when they come in at night time.

Good evening, you Knotty Old Geezers.

I will use those knots tomorrow, and follow Sheph's advice.....
Namely,. draw the thing on the floor, tie the drawing which is now part of the floor to a blumb bob and hoist it to the ceiling.
I must remember not to stand between the floor and the ceiling as the two come together though. Right ?
I think I have that right, yeah ? Right !

Onward>>>>>>>>>>>>

heheheheheh

Actually, I got it figured out today....

Dam thing has to be slotted in between 2 "I" beams (of different depths, of course) so using 2X2 @ 24" c.c. joist to span the 7' with a pc. of 2X2 driven in to the beam to hold the joist hard against the concrete ceiling above.

2 runs of el. conduit are fixed to the conc. ceiling, and one is a diagonal. Lots of cutting and fitting...
A real pain in the neck, literally.

Might need a new belt.........

Sol'= Sol'n= Solution I hope
For now radar not showing even lightning near Macon but next wave is packing punch from the Gulf.

Yes....that's exactly the way I would do it.

Youtube has changed the interface again.


Huh?
Looked the same to me.
I just checked and it shows "use old embed code" option for this one.

CRACK - KABOOM - RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE

I really hate being thrown out of bed at 530 in the morning.

Well, thrown out is not exactly correct, jump out is closer to the truth.

Not a drop of rain last night and one little cloud goes by and fries another tree.

The bright side of course is it was a tree, not the house.

Rain is coming now, darn, there goes the yard work.:)

That was just funny as all get out! I read Pottery's
comment, then I read your comment with the tic tic tic
and knew somebody would go after Pottery soon.
Didn't even occur to me what Swampy would do! Went right over
my head. We all better watch our P's and Q's now!!!
He seems to be faster than all of us.LOL

Theres no place like home. :)

Quoting RobDaHood:

Dorothy?
:o)

Oh darn...ya beat me to it.

Yup...more coffee

:)

Shep, the youtube thing may have just been a fluke or something with the latest firefox update.


Seems every time I update an app or program, something gets worse.

I'll update when the darn thing just won't work any more.

:)

mornin rob how ya be?

Lots of wind 10-16 mph G 38 SSE and clouds w/ severe weather watch till 1900.

375. RobDaHood

Yup...reads like mine read around lunch time.

Fortunately the heaviest portions scooted just north of me.
Spaghetti band overhead at the moment. Just rain...and then rain...and then some more rain :))

Quoting RobDaHood:
NWS was about right on the wind estimates. Was a tad breezy for a while :o)

Pretty serious rain but only for about 10 minutes then back to drippy. A whole lot more in the gulf heading this way. Might be a long night.

A good night to unplug and read a book.

:)

Hi Rob!

Wanted to stop by and thank you so much, great WU buddy, for your generously kind words of support and caring left on my blog the other day plus weeks ago. They're all much appreciated and been helpful!

My hubby's doing much better now since the doctors have changed a couple of his medicines and dosages of others around. Currently, he and I have just finished up "battening down the hatches" , as it were, of our back Florida room/porch in light of this far-reaching nasty wind and rainstorm that's heading up our way. Thankfully, we're located just outside the borderline of a serious storm warning or in the more Northeastern portion of Mass. Parts of Western, Central and Southeastern Mass. appear to be receiving the brunt of it with expected wind gusts reaching 50 mph. I'm sure most citizens have already taken precautionary measures, as we usually do with seasonal Nor'Easters, etc., and are primed for the aftermath.

It appears parts of Florida are also being effected as well and hope that you're outside of or remain safe from any all effects. Amazing how this is the second severe collision of cold vs. warm fronts in recent weeks. We only received some rainfall with the first one while others (living in NY, NJ, PA) received tornadoes, etc. Wish we could all transition into autumn far more gracefully as in years gone by.

Hope to see you online tomorrow and that our dear friend, Emmy, will pop on board as well. It will be her birthday and would be fun to post and celebrate along with her, if even for just a few hours or day, as in previous years. She's such a live wire! LOL!

Loving the rain..

mass~ Good to see your husband improving.

Looks like you are getting even more rain tonight.

Temp is already dropping here in Macon. 59 tonight!

Woo hoo...that's "list" weather.
I'll need to let sugarbear know you need something to do with yourself.

:)))

Yes Indeed!
Had a much better day today, as I was able to capture The Man I've been after. (see Orca's blog, ye that are dumbfounded)

Young, Strong, dare I say Virile? Maybe I ought not to say Virile. Scratch Virile. Anyway, where were we?

Oh yeah, well Young Man appeared just in the Nick Of Time, so I put him to work, and he is Just The Thing.

Got a lot done, and tomorrow we clad the thing.
Pyrate Alex says "Wow Pappi, you building a skateboard wall??"
I'm sure it's going to happen........

Nobody to talk to.

I'll just sit here and stare at skye's avatar.


ROFL
:)))

Talk about nobody to talk to, 0400 hours is really quiet.
Even the birds are still sleeping. Well, except for the owls.
One really big Owl sitting in the middle of the street.
What the heck was he doing in the middle of the street?
Waiting on a small car perhaps?


And what am I doing up at 0400 hours you might ask?
Raccoons on the back porch again I suppose, not really sure.
Once they knock something over they take off like bandits.
I need an electrified wire floor mat the size of the back porch.
Run the wire thru the bottom of the back door so I can plug it in at night.
Sort of like a hot wire fence around a pasture.
I bet the raccoons would not come back after that!

OK, I'm going back to bed, 64* here by the way. Nice.

You need a yard dog.
Swampy is looking for work.

Quoting RobDaHood:
What is all that clattering about?

Oh, it's Pottery trying to shanghai more help, Pyrate Alex skateboarding on the walls, RTLSNK shooing racoons, and there sits poor Shep, asleep, photos of pretty girls scattered around.

Well then, guess I'll crawl back into my rack.

Oh, and "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PYRATE QUEEN!"

Busted...

:)

mornin rob

Good Evening !
Took the day off from son's project.
Woke up feeling 'blah', and thought that I would just do nothing for the whole day..

But then, I had to go out to get some adhesive for a damaged mosaic and fix that, then run the water supply and waste lines to the Lady Potts Studio sink (it has been pending...), then fill the cistern and try the thing out.

It works just fine.
But now, I'm tired again.
And not quite as 'blah'.

But its a good tired is it not my good man?
One that comes from a sense of accomplishment.
Of facing the spears and arrows of life head on.
Of going where no lazy man would dare to go and so forth.
You can rest now knowing that the water is running,
the mosaic has been restored to its former glory,
and you have gained many atta boy points from the Lady Pott.

Such things are the stuff of legend my good man.

Well done, bravo, hear hear, and whatnot.

{{{Rob}}}
Had to pop in to give you a hug and say I've missed you! :)
