Boring times so maybe a highlight or 2. Usual hour workout at 9 am. Went out and swing the Superspeed clubs and my driver .

Mattyv have seen Blues Traveler many times back in the days of HORDE. First time was at the Rave in Milwaukee in ~ 93 or 94🤔 .... not sure when the last was but many many years ago either at Summerfest or at Oneida Bingo and Casino of all places when they had a series of shows out in the tent🙃....I know I saw Black Crowes at Oneida ~ 2000/2001. The era of early 90's to 2000ish was such a great era for live shows. Miss those days!

Thanks for sharing!

Well, I was able to get my beastie to the shop today. Took way to long to get a tow truck through AAA. They decided that my baby 'required' a medium duty flatbed to go 1.2 miles. Personally, i would have put it on the 'light' duty for that distance. It required a few calls to get through to someone to start the process of getting a tow starting just before 1pm. Finally got to head over to the shop just before 4pm.took longer to load her than it was to drive to the shop. Hopefully tomorrow I will get to hear something positive for the shop on my baby.

I also received the 4 airbags, new airbags fittings and 6' of new airline yesterday for the rear suspension on my beastie. At least I don't have to worry about that once I get my baby fixed, and back home. That'll be my next project on her.

Went out and trimmed. May not mow today.
May not have to tomorrow either, if death wins later. 😲

Walterjn

Ask and you shall receive.
The small trailer is the little set up trailer I pull and the gooseneck i haul horses with.

Nice rig!👍

I mowed. All of it. Only 90*, 52% humidity.
Just in case death does win(probably won't though), and did not want the kids stuck with any extra stress during a time of deep, great sorrow/loss/regret.(yeah, I've hidden all the balls😂)

sdandrea1 thank you! I've been running that truck down the road since it had 150k on the odometer. Odometer has stopped keeping track of the milage last October, odometer currently reads 621,369. I'm thinking im about 650k now.

Today, im heading to Newbury Park barn and work on the bench, maybe I can get that thing finished aside from final sanding and staining/ sealing. I've been able to borrow my dad's little Ford Ranger for the day, so if I need to run to home depot I have a way to carry lumber.

Where I planned to go today for work…. They closed the highways in that area due to flooding. Unheard of for around here. Weymouth got 6” of rain. So I’m staying around the home area . No plans for tonite. Love a day when it rains all day.

Typhoon I saw some pics from Rt 93....never seen that. Did the tunnel remain open?

I HATE plumbing.....at nearly 80 years of age, crawling around on the floor is NOT something I enjoy doing! So,
yesterday Mrs. Fatshot noticed the toilet in the downstairs lavatory was leaking slightly out the bottom every time
we flushed. Called the plumber, who was busy, of course.....told me he might be able to fit me in today.

After I got home from playing golf my wife said he hadn't called, so I ran over to the hardware store, bought a new
wax ring, came home, crawled around on the floor for a while and got 'er done.....so far, so good!!!

Par4QC

fatshot Just give her a hug, ~~the $200~~ 1/2 of the $200 you saved, and send her shopping.

Then you'll both be tickled that it happened.
🤣😂

fatshot Some of the old school flanges were steel where the toilet bolts went through. I've had 1 or 2 of those situations end up being a lot more hassle than they should have been.

Callaway Tour Truck pulled into our parking lot (without the trailer).

Got to meet the driver/club tech Greg Shaw as he wanted to hit some balls.

Super nice guy told me the trailer was actually built just down the road. Who Knew?!?

Greg's the one on the left.

[deleted] 176 room Holiday Inn, built in '65.
Imagine the fun we had, in 2018, when we completely remodeled.......100% totality, of the bathrooms. With cast iron flanges.

In '92 we did 300 rooms at another Holiday Inn.
'And a good time was had by all.'😄

And that's why I won't mess with anything anymore. I'm fine when things go as planned but I just don't have the temperament anymore to deal with adversity
