Morning RTR
When is the next try for the launch?
Who knows :dontknow:I dont think the boys at NASA know either.I heard it could be weeks.
 

There's a pink elephant on the ship.
Morning RC
Hope you day looks productive, at least in thought.
Mornin P.J..

Dishwashing awaits, Whoo-hoo!
Need to make a dogfood run.

Salvaged wooden wheelchair ramp was hacked up pretty bad. (No, I didn't do it.)
I sorted it by what has the most integrity left , but need to put the forks on the tractor and take that stack apart and find a suitable canidate for a platform outside the hunting blind door.
(Still hoping the guys get me a blind soon, They sent a picture of "mine" with the door hung backwards from what I ordered. Won't work for the site pictured previously.)

I'll need to trim the messed up joist cuts and add end pieces over thier ends.
Heavy stuff. The tractor can barely lift one section.
Then I need to look over the salvaged rail sides. Most need resecured spindles top and bottom. Find a few sections with good toeplates and such. Should power wash them too ; but not wanting to.
And go through savaged posts and try to come up with a half dozen or more not too deteriorated.
Then figure out a ramp. Should wait till blind exists in place to be sure of platform and ramp heights.

Trash needs to go to main road. Maybe during dogfood run.

Still working on a vomit spot on the carpet. (No , I didn't do that either.) It's being a tough one.

Plenty more.
I'll make more coffee and hit dishes first. Emphasis on coffee.
 

J.V.A. is up and at em!

Mornin.

My nose starts dripping at 65F
Chilly

Need to sleep the hot away, go out after dark.

Sounds like a plan.
I lag screwed the gazebo down to the deck, made sure it was straight.
Removed the trash packing material.
Just limb trimming yet to do.
Worked on the scrap pile yesterday again.
Saturday pm went for a few hours of mental health care.
No picture finds, but good to dig.
Chores are done, harvest the tomatoes.
Then back to the scrap sort out.
Did find the plugs for the door casing yesterday under a pile of wire casing stripes.
Must of thought it was all scrap, electrician probably thought trash box.
So another completed task, even though it wasn't one.

Made sure it was straight? What the heck kind of work are you doing there?

I make sure (by natural grace/ability /lack of skill precision and accuracy) that a build can be square; or plumb. But not both!
L.o.l..
 

Here's a fee watches that were my grandparents I snagged up don't think any have value money wise but grabbed them in case since they were just kind of thrown to the side.

Gruen watches fetch a good buck as the Bulova. R.G.P Rolled Gold Plate was a quality plating for things.
Just Google the make and add for sale and you'll get an idea of the worth.

I always thought anything plate had no value. I just picked them up because they were basically tossed to the side and looked neat so I was like eh I'll take them than.

Sorting out my scrap pile, working on the mixed wire, got the aluminum sheet pretty well under control.
Copper pipe in a pile ready to be cut up.
Basically it's been 8 yrs of just throwing everything into the pile, without any sorting.
So now it's time to purge.
My hope is to turn tons of scrap into a 2+ lb detector.

It's just a better plating from earlier times. The name/make of the watches are also the main reason for collectors.
Maybe the Capt. will horse trade for that new Deus ll. :headbang::laughing7:
