Yeah we liked that movie also.... I was always looking at the cars they had in the background..... good entertainment.....

Sun is up and Farmers are farming..... better go take them stuff.... have a good day Guru's.....

today the sun is shinning and the temps will hit 80... 80 is perfect for me.... just be 80 everyday....

I will work outside taking stuff to farmers... tons of work going on...it's pretty much life as usual around here except for the coffee shops are only drive thru....how do we get the latest gossip if we can't go to the coffee shops........ online I suppose....

We are in Defcon 3 or maybe that should be DEFCORN 3 for Ag...... keep sneezing into your elbow Guru's....

Ya...teeb.....that's the thing....there are no tunes in da fiddysix..... never has been.... oh well the music of the mighty little 283 rolling down the road is enough for now....

Happy 1/4 century anniversary big John.... you guys go eat fine steaks and drink high dollar whisky.....

Well we are in for a warm up this week with temps almost to 80 degrees..... winter to summer here who needs spring....... my work continues as the planting will go on as planned.....

The Sound Doctor called and said they were closing up shop for the near future and so they cancelled my appointment for the fiddysix to get its new sound system put in........ F'n F'n virus.....

Gotta go...... keep your powder dry Guru's.....

Morning...... it acts like it might want to warm up.... nothing definite yet but I can tell it wants to....

today....... I will do the same as yesterday and the day before....the days are all blurring together.....

maybe I will ask Uwoman if she has any ideas on what I could be doing....................or not.....

Have a very nice Sunday Guru's

that hurts to think of all that food going to waste...... I love dem veggies......

Very cool mask..... Uwoman is making me a Camo one..... niiiice!

I just invested some bucks in the FAANG stocks....they have a kind of mutual fund that buys a mix of shares from Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflicks and Google...... no losers there..... I do have regular Amazon stock also and we have Facebook and both those have done well...... they are down now somewhat but will head up soon... I hope...... Utilities are safe.....

When this finally passes there will be a boom.....so hang on and now is the time to buy in.....

Uwoman says thanks.....she is attending her college class this morning via the Zoom telecast on the computer.... The dogs and I are under house arrest until that is over....... no barking or noise permitted.... its hard for me not to make noise..... I'm older now.....

Lil Honda is so close to being done.... wiring is done..... got to get a few light bulbs for the dash and then will come the attempt to start the 56 year old iron.... got compression, got spark, got air, got fuel..... no way it won't run right? Kick start only..... no electronic starters on these babies.......

the Fiddysix will go into the Sound Doctor on the 8th to get the new sound machine installed and then it is done and ready to travel....

The Corvette is perfection already so nothing new going on there....

I'm tired of the F'n pandemic.... I want to do stuff and go places.... I want to watch Baseball...... a Pox on whoever started this crap..... a double Pox.....and the fleas of a thousand camels on them also.... Sonsabiches....

Ok..... one foot in front of the other Guru's.......

The day will come when the solar thing will get cheaper.... not very soon though.... It would take about 60 to $70K to put up the panels for this place..... we love our juice here...... that is with no storage added....... I'm thinking get a bunch of car batteries in the basement and have them charged up...... or not..... I'm like Gris..... propane and coop electrical.......

Now if I was in my 30's or 40's and building a new home I would probably spend the money.......

My Brides birthday today....... I'm taking the day off and spending it at home...... which I would be doing anyway with the crap weather we are having.... cold out there...

stay huddled up Guru's.....

Yeah our electric bills are horrendous.... electric everything... heat with propane back up.... 3 fridges and a freezer.... I have looked at the solar options but needed to do that way back in the day.... I don't think I would ever see the pay out on it at my advance age..... never say never though....

Tesla is working on some very cool large capacity storage batteries but dey gonna be expensive.....

I remember my typing speed was 36 words per minute with no mistakes..... real proud of that I was and still am...

I just said that to my bride this morning.... stop watching the news...there is no good news right now.... she agreed and told me how wise I was and how lucky she was to be married to me.........

We got a day of crap weather coming... rain and snow and anything else they can come up with.... winter is not going to go easy into that big summer.....

Have a day Guru's....

I think this virus thing is the worst April Fools joke ever....... the count down begins until I turn 70 this month..... I better go live it up some....oh wait....

working away turning in orders in the office.... we are land locked but food reserves are holding out...as is the ammunition.... so far so good.....

Keep your heads down Guru's....

Sunny and warm and the phone is ringing....... got to go help feed the world..... tis a noble quest that what we do.......

Good new Gris....don't let the dogs trip her up....... have a safe day Guru's.....

I'm working on a project for ya tee...... drawing it up now. New cabinet set up for the mud room....

Yeah that was a good story. Was his hair perfect? Right now its a nice day out..... so I already had a call from a farmer wondering where his stuff is....... and so it begins....... have a safe and happy day Guru's...

Glad the twister missed VB....... keep your head on a swivel this time of year........

We have seen the sun.....and it has brought a 60 degree day.... much joy in the camps.....

I see the air quality is supposedly better now that everyone is locked up....... if the greenies had their way it would be like this all the time....

got stuff to do...... have a groovy day Guru's

No one has the virus in our county yet.....which is good since the hospital here only has 1 test for it and no ventilators..... we be in the sticks ya....

cold cloudy dreary and homebound....... our supplies are holding up well..... plenty of TP........ as long as the internet stays up for streaming we are good to go...... if the internet went down nationwide there would be chaos ..........

Have a safe day Guru's....

yeah Gris you gotta get her out of that hospital..... those places are full of sick folks.....

I have to go to a village to the north of us and pick up a fertilizer transfer pump today....... Ag is moving forward and nobody is staying home.... just so you know....

drive fast today Guru's......

don't see why he couldn't get that on his Corolla...?

https://www.bing.com/images/search?vie ... =13&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=0,1,2,6

I have predicted the new boomers in about 9 months from when this is over...... Harley and many others are hoping so.......

Got work to do so I'm going to do it...... have a safe day Guru's....

well..... all the best to everyone at the Guru who is needing some prayers...... Gris so sorry to hear of your brides misfortune...and John I'm hoping for the best in your situation..... and hoping Sue's eye gets better in the next few days....

VB..... we are checking to see if the Satellite was in range while you were in the midst of your trials..... super high resolution cameras you know...... searching instagram as we speak.......

Onward Christian Soldiers .........

when you open the hatch on the left side wheel well you will see directly to the left between the back and the wheel well there is a pull for the gas tank lid. Moving forward to the wheel well itself you will see a wire coming out of it with a tab on it for the drivers door.... that might get hidden somewhat where the carpet meets the top of the wheel well...

I had the electric door latch go out on me on vacation once and it was the only way I could get in from the outside. I used the emergency exit when I was in the car to open the door... was a real pain but got the car home and put in new latch and all was right with the world again......

wish I was headed down there to pick up that new C8.... very cool car....

...as for the Battery in the GS's I have always used the stock replacement AC Delco which has 600 CCA and 100 RC and 60 AH..... That has always been a good battery and I think I'm only on my 3rd one since the car was new in 2010... I would be on the 2nd one but I left the V1 plugged in a couple of times and completely drained the 2nd battery so I just replaced it.

Lot of folks like the Glass Matt so they don't leak or boil over battery acid.... my car has the battery in the back were it would not do the damage that the ones mounted in the engine bay would cause. Cost will be around $150 if you install it.

....uh....VB....you know there is a pull latch for the drivers side door in the back of the hatch along with the one that opens the fuel door..... just saying.... had to use it on several occasions.... that is there so you don't have to crawl through the car and rip your jeans and expose yourself to the neighbors...

We will have to tell them that when we vote in November VB.......

how about Tung oil for the stock? we will wait to see what Thomas has in mind........

working away on things but mainly waiting for the shoe to drop and the weather to warm up and the ground to dry out and then it will be on to get the products to the farms so the farmers can grow stuff to help feed everyone.....

Ok I gotta go now...... don't go anywhere and don't do anything.... have a fun day Guru's...

I'd we all over 85 degree weather...... get outside.... got cabin fever bad.....

Glad we went to Florida when we did with them closing all the beaches down.....

The schoolmarm (a woman who is prim, strict and brisk in manor) that I married is reporting to her school but there are no kids there

gotta go

she would be a lot happier if you had secured some TP.....

I actually hit Wally World yesterday just as they had got a truck in and were loading the shelves.... it was a hell of a fight to get a package and the bruising will heal..... those ladies can really pack a punch....

My wife used her new TP calculator app to figure how long we can last with our stash and she says we are good till 2022..... I said I hope that is long enough....

Wise words there Gris.... I agree.... I would add to that unconditional love and the importance of trust in a family.

Cold out still but warm up coming next week..... March is a winter month..... have a fine Sabbath Guru's....

It's called Long Range about a sniper that is making 1700 yard shots and taking out law enforcement in Saddlestring Wy. Joe's buddy is blamed and Joe has to figure out who could be the shooter.... good read....

I do so wish it was easy to post pics on this site...... I have lots of them but seem to always have to have Teeb post them for me...... is that ever going to change?

Honda getting real close to trying to start it..... that may lead us to other problems but we hope not. Has not run in 12 years or so I'm thinking..... last owner got it running but then parked it again.... all part of the adventure.....

Still clear and cold here today...... I will be in the shop most of the day tinkering on the 56 getting it ready for the summer season.... got some new floor mats coming along wid some other stuff..... the music box is the last big item to install then it should be ready for prime time.

RIP Kenny Rogers...... lots of great songs......

Gris have you read the C. J. Box Joe Pickett series? I highly recommend them..... I'm reading the newest one now....

keep the hammer down Guru's.....

Cold and windy here today but at least we can see the sun.... I dream of warm day of normalcy with me driving the Grand Sport with the windows down..... free at last ......

that place looks like a dive Tommy...... just the kinda place I like.....

found an impossible part on the lil Honda the other day.... its the neutral light that sits in the headlight nacelle...... jumped all over it on eBay and it arrived as advertised yesterday... with that I think the bike will be ready to start as soon as the warm weather hits...... more later on that..... Bill H would be happy to see it done also..... wish I knew who ended up with his 67....... oh well.....

I like the name Kung Flu.... have a happy day Guru's.....

Still hunkered down....... I had the night watch..... no activity to report..... TP supplies are good........ more later.......

The corned beef and cabbage is just being placed into the slow cooker as we speak..... looking forward to when it comes out of the cooker.

We have some Irish in the family..... when I did my DNA in fact I was 64% English and Irish...... so get the whiskey and lets have a round lads.......

Have a wonderful day here in lock down.......

Farmers and truck drivers are independent and isolationist by nature so as long as the trucks run and the fields get planted and harvested and shipped all will be well.... and they will.....

I am thinking that a new population of folks that have never had to deal with any tough times are all running around in a panic over something that should not induce any panic in the streets...... those of us from older generations have seen this and worse. We have seen many China induced flu's come and go... and we are mindful of it but not in a panic.

I think we should send a large invoice to China for all the trouble they have caused. China is not our friend.......

My daughter got in yesterday from Seattle, (no fever or sniffles) she will work here for a bit until this all blows over.... she works for Amazon.

Keep up the good fight Guru's...... God's still in charge......

We are secure in our bunker fortress.... guns are laying by the gun ports we built into the bunker..... the women folk stand by ready to re load for the men...... Our church was online today, they also have a channel on Hulu....so we watched that...... toilet paper reserves are holding up well...... making a big pot of chili for the chow ....... we will be fine as long as our internet connection stays up....... the siege continues.... more later from the Heartlands.......

Hope you all get a chance to report in..........

The world has been cancelled..... On line sales take off and in 9 months we will have Baby Boom II ..... I can do one but won't be in on the other..... I will let you figure out which.....

Snow here .... big wet sloppy 60 pound shovel full snow...... is it ok to go out and shovel do you think..... do I have to call someone?

So in 2009 the H1N1 killed a thousand folks before Obama ever did anything..... 60 million sick, hundreds of thousands hospitalized and 18,000 dead..... stock market was already tanked but life went on as normal......... What am I missing here.....?

Have a good isolation day Guru's......

another good reason not to leave the house..... we stopped at Costco yesterday and the hoarders were lined up for a block..... I'm glad we were not there while they were unloading the toilet paper truck....the savagery of people trying to get their share would have been epic....

Luckily we live in the country and just have to go out and pick up more corn cobs if we run out of paper.....

got to go get parts today and do some work and then I feel a nap coming on...... no bad weather here yet......

Stay healthy Guru's.....

Up early today...... when I am King I will vow no more going to work before 10 am...... I will be a popular king.....

Got stuff to do and will avoid crowds .... which is what I do everyday anyway.... I have a 6 foot stick I will carry wid me so folks won't get any closer to me that that..... hey hey get back I will yell as I hold the stick up between me and them..... a country boy can survive....

Onward into abyss Guru's......

Tommy hurry......they got cruises on special right now... buy one week and get 2 weeks free.... Use Promo Code "Corona"

meetings meetings all day meetings....but we got a lot to done and now I'm thinking of a nice cold Bud Lite Chaldea....16 oz... kinda a red beer with Clamato juice in it..... no really its real good.... trust me, I'm from a Red State....

I would post some pics of my lil Honda but no joy...

Have a wonderful evening Guru's

nothing blooming here yet...... colder and cloudy after our rain yesterday..... spring has not yet sprung forth...
I have quarantined myself in the shop..... the fridge is fully stocked wid Bud Lite Chelada's..... and chocolate chip cookies.....

little Honda project coming along..... working on the final wiring now...... they will try to start it....

It is wet and rainy here in the land of corn.... all early fertilizer application plans are now on hold.... got everything sold so am just hanging until all hell breaks loose...... sounds like a shop day today....

Why move them...... because you can Gris...... and who knows it may not rain everyday......

I am hunkered in for the weekend.... doing some cleaning.... The CDC has shut down Fremont Neb due to a case of Covid-19 being found there and the woman who was in England I think had lots of contact with others...... so they have shut all the schools down and no large gatherings are allowed......

My wife said Sam's was bought out of toilet paper and Clorox..... as long as they still have steak i'm good......

have a really nice day Guru's....

Yeah I don't like the bid jobs either.... somebody always lowballing.... then they get the bid and get half way through it and figure out that can't make any money at what they bid it at....... dumbasses.....

I also prefer the smaller jobs that we can make a decent margin on but if you can get your margin on a big job it does make money and it gets you known in the big job circles..... if you are in business you need to go for it......

Saturday morning and I must clean the floors today.....we are having quests next weekend so need to get ready for them.

My brother in law bought a nice Crystal Red 09 Corvette with the 4LT interior yesterday. It has 34K milage on it and both tops also NPP exhaust.... not a Z51 car. Paid $24,800 for it and they will ship it to him from Knoxville Tenn on their dime. been a long time dream for him. Glad he could get it done.

Have a groovy day Guru's.....

Ya Tommy...... I take the content of that picture of fertilizer from yesterday and put it in a big blender and add water and instant new fertilizer..... I better get a patent on it quick......

Nice here today. My Mom has continued to improve and is going to return to her apartment in the assisted living home. Appreciate all your prayers. Been a long haul it seems...

Keep kicking ass Guru's.....

warm here also and breezy...... am getting a presentation done today for a new fertilizer product I have come up with. Am making the pitch to a company I need to have make it for us. All NDA's have been signed....

catch you on the flip flop Guru's.....

Hey Cap..... nice C6 vert dude..... you will enjoy dat! just saw that you got it and am glad you did not get hurt in the bumper car black ice episode...... black ice is a bitch.....

Uh....isn't it a democratic primary? So extreme right wingers would not be voting...... right? Or don't I get it?

nice day here....doing some clean up around the place and getting the Honda 4 trax out of storage.... started right up it did.... like they say...if a Honda don't start it's out of gas.....

more later....
