Good morning all and Happy Canada Day to my friends up North. Just found out work is covered today, so I get to take it off. Might see if the Missus wants to take a ride to a hobby shop about an hour from here, but doubtful. Letting her sleep in on a hot Saturday, already 88 degrees, heading for 100 again.
And I'm drinking coffee.
Anyway hope everyone has a great day.

Mornin to all Y'all. Major 2, Thanks for starting the thread, I zoned out last night and forgot it was the start of a new month.

Glad to Sir, I crashed early,
("seems the older I get, the earlier it gets late" author unknown )
anyway, plumbing check at the appointed hour, so I chimed in ;D
wound up watching some U-tube, various subjects I:E "Camping with Steve" some milsurp collections and or restorations, stuff like that :)
Gonna be a hot one here too Kevin, prolly not over 95 but with the index it feels like over a 100.

Yesterday broke 100 for the first time, and we’re scheduled to keep doing so for the next week.

Howdy all, "only" 96 here today, looks like a Thunderstorm is coming in. Temps are supposed to drop to normal this week, upper 80s and low 90s with rain most of the week. Good day at church today, we have an afternoon instead of an evening service on Sundays, so we got done came home and took a nap. If I get really enthused I might work on some grips for my 1860 RM. You guys have a good one.

72 and pouring rain, I've had to pump out my Garage/Basement 4 times so far today.Supposed to let up some tomorrow and for the 4th Sunny with a high of 83. Next weekend is the Matamoras Mavericks 3 day shoot in Pa. Friday is sunny, but Sat & Sun look to be cloudy,I'll bring my slicker with me to hopefully ward off the evil rain spirits.

Threat of severe rain storms have shut down most 4th fireworks displays in the metro area. That's OK.
Here's a novel way to celebrate the 4th without the whiz-bang of pyrotechnics.
Enjoy The Peace and Quiet that Independence ensured for us. Hug your dogs. Hug your kids. Hug your significant other.
Count your blessings that you still retain all 10 fingers (and toes), and eyesight, and eardrums . . .
It isn't celebrating how we can blow up things. It's about the fact our Nation still survives, that for all its faults, and definitely still a work in progress, we remain an imperfect beacon of hope for many yearning to share the same benefits we enjoy by proclaiming that Independence Day 248 years ago.
Happy Fourth All!

Afternoon all.
Currently 98 and not a cloud in the sky.
Been a bit of a long week for me. 3 fires, the last of which required 27 consecutive hours of my two days off. But I saw two bears, so I guess that makes up for the sleep deprivation. ::)
This morning I went down with Mrs. TK and moved her horse from one place to another. That’s about all from here.

Rain coming, radar shows it about 40 minutes away.... it reaches' out into the gulf so I expect it will rain most of the afternoon,

Well the weatherpeoples have still been lying to us. Still running upper 90s and really stinkin humid. Thunderstorms supposed to run in later this afternoon. We are getting the Casa ready for a birthday party tonight, so lots of family will be here. Man, I hope that the Cardinals can figure out how to quit giving games away.

85 and party cloudy, another line of rain (about 1 hour this morning) is headed over in about 30 minutes,
I can hear the thunder off to the west, so I got out of the pool.

Good day at Church today, then a nap once home. Caught the end of the Cards game, they actually won a couple. Hopefully the seconds half of the season will improve. Gonna attack an 1866 Uberti that has been a pain this afternoon, got some advice yesterday on what I was missing.
I was really bad one day this week at work. Some folks came into our little gun/fishing store, tourists. A nice family who had a bratty teenage girl with their family. Well she got all Kareny over the mounted animals we have up all over the shop and started getting kind of rude and self-righteous, so I decided to have a little fun. I told her that all of the animals taken were legal and that the only one that had ever been on the protected species list was a jackelope that was taken before that ruling. Then she really got hot, so I pointed out a whitetail mount with an atypical rack as the jackelope. She took several pictures and was going to post them on tiktok and Instagram to shame us for displaying this endangered poor animal. The Dad with them was working really hard to keep a straight face.
I know, I was bad.

Evening Y'all,'m back from the Pa match,It was hot and humid, temps in high 80's. I shot all 10 stages clean, but got a "P" on my last stage because a target on the Texas Star I knocked the first 4 off no problem, then hit the 5th with a solid center hit,It moved so I went to the dump target to fire the remaining ammo. I had just pulled the trigger when the RO says, It didn't fall. I hit it again and it fell, but too late I earned a "P". There were only 3 clean shooters out of 100.I wasn't happy. Come to fine out, the club uses that target for the Action shooters and it has the heavy springs in it,They never checked the calibration on it. Other than that it was a good weekend. How was yours?
-
I shot all 10 stages clean, but got a "P" on my last stage
I can sympathize with you Major. Several years ago at the NCOWS Midwest Regionals I had a clean shoot going until the second last stage. I messed up a sweep and got a P. I was thinking more about shooting a clean match instead of focusing on the business at hand.

Howdy folks. Tis 69 degrees going on 89 here in Northeast Nebraska. Supposed to be a slight chance of rain this evening, but it's summertime in Nebraska, so who knows.
I'm new to this watering hole, although I've been haunting the SASS Wire for about a decade and recognize a couple names. I don't expect to be here regularly or anything, but this seemed like a good time to say howdy.

Here, just been busy.

I'm here, just dealing with car issues. >:( >:(

Recently my car overheated. I had a cracked water outlet housing. Cost me 385 bucks. Could have been worse. Summer in Florida is a bad place to have a car overheat.
-
OH yeah !, I had 89 Ford 350 Dulley with a 460 CDI motor, I bought to haul my gooseneck horse trailer to reenactments all over.
I got into a predicament, went down a road where I could not turn the rig turned around.
I had the back it a mile or so, it was at night, so dark I needed the dash lights and headlight off so I could see the backing lights.
Anyway, I could not see the temp gauge headed to hell.
Now the issue was the duel electric cooling fans did not kick in so I OVER heated !!!!
BAD JUJU.... melted the Sparkplug boots and other rubber parts, suspected maybe a head gasket too... the Truck had 1800 miles on it.
Took it to the dealer for I assumed would be a pricy outcome .... BUT the Ford Factory Rep was there, and his assessment was, warranty issue. Seems there some sort of recall on the fans....
Ford would foot the bill, but it would take some weeks to complete.
The dealership offered a trade up and momma raised no fool.
Total out of pocket,was + $100. because I opted for the extended cab (I had wanted in the first place)
I have been doing business with the same dealership ever since, find a good one and I'll keep them.
Same sales guy too :)

Looks like we’ll break the 100-degree mark tomorrow and Sunday here in Reno.
It’s been in the upper 90’s for several days, the past few weeks now, but the overnight lows are in the low 60’s. That’s what the high altitude, clear skies and low humidity's do. Suck up the heat in the day, then throw it out into space at night.
Going into the third year of fussing with my teeth. Hopefully done by the end of the year. ::)
Went to the Doc about recurring lower back problems that gave been keeping me from doing much walking or standing. Got muscle relaxers, pain killers and x-rays. Drugs have seemed to kick in, so now I’m waiting for the Doc to call about the x-rays.
Plus, this morning my cell phone died. Well, netter it than me!
The wife has been back in Milwaukee for the last two weeks (4 more to go). The cats and I have been behaving. No pound or jail visits yet.
Blacked Cajun-Spiced catfish and grilled corn on the cob for supper tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

" Blacked Cajun-Spiced catfish and grilled corn on the cob "
MAN! that sounds great, are you the chef ? :)
Ordered a Pizza for pick-up tonight, good but the best part is pizza for breakfast.
-
Yup
Just me here. I wouldn't trust the cats with the catfish. It would never get spiced or make it to the cast iron skillet on the grill.
The corn has soaked all day and will go on the grill, in the husk, first and get steamed and a little browned, then husked just before eating.
Maybe a little Pinot Grigio and grilled buttered and breaded asparagus to go along with it.

Good morning all. Well, we were traveling from Arkansas to Atlantic City, NJ to visit family. Our Santa Fe with 60,000 miles on it decided to throw a rod yesterday in Virginia. It's under warranty, but got to head to the dealer in a few minutes to work out [hopefully] a loaner to finish the trip today. Anyway, we are doing okay, just annoyed.
-
Hyundai's 10-Year / 100,000-Mile warranty is an industry leader; you should pat yourself on the back for choosing the brand.
I also understand they offer 5-Year, Unlimited Miles 24-Hour Roadside Assistance.
That is a comfort when travailing far from home.
I hope you have an enjoyable continuation of your trip. :)
We had a rather surprise major thunderstorm yesterday evening. I knew thundershowers were coming but the guessers failed to warn of any severities.
In fact, it had exploded in our area before they finally reported warnings.
We got over a 1 1/2 inches in the hour! winds 55 MPH with gusts to 65 MPH.
For about 30 or so minutes it was Aunty Em, Auny Em time ... :o
but only shredded leaves & twigs. We've been rather depleted in rain lately with it skirting around us, so any standing water quickly soaked in.
But a happy camper this morning got my coffee and a slice of left over micro-zapped pizza. :)
-
Morning all.
Major, we got 2 storms about like yours earlier this week. We also can use all the rain the Lord will send, but the county fair and rodeo this week wouldn't mind if it had come a bit earlier. We've been parched enough lately that things still dried up pretty well though.
This morning is about 66 degrees, 81% humidity, 5 mph west wind. Forecast is "Areas of smoke after 11am. Mostly sunny, with a high near 85. Northwest wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph."
I hope the smoke doesn't get too bad. My older daughter (almost 3 y.o.) was coughing a lot earlier this summer, and we think it may have been the smoke combined with a couple colds.

Used to worry about not being able to work on this new stuff. Now I can't just don't even work on the old stuff.
Back when I was younger and full of vinegar, I wrench on my own stuff.
Built an Austin Healy for SCCA sport car club racing, later built a Ford Mustang for same.
That was 50 and a bit more years ago. :o The last real project was that Jeep Radiator swap in 04.
All I do now is swap out windshield wipers, occasional air cleaner, and pump my own gas, that's it.
Dealer changes my oil; rotates tires & a 21 point check.
I wait in air conditioning or go across the street and have breakfast.
Now day's...

I gave up the last of my auto tinkerin' when i sold my last MGB about 6 years ago. I've gone thru 5 of the pre '74 model over 35 consecutive years. Pulled engines several times (required to replace clutch parts). Once was to rebuild an engine. (I remember having the engine out and about to roll it over on it's side,when I realized I hadn't drained the oil. So it was up righted and started to drain it, when a car came by and stared at what we were doing. Looked back at him and said with a straight face "What? Don't you know this is how you charge the oil in the foreign cars?" We had a good laugh at the look on his face as he drove off.

Cool that you mention an MGB, mine was 1969 bought it brandy new.
Had it 10 years and modify it to haul a$$

Morning folks, made it to Atlantic City last night after deciding to buy a new Hyundai! Since it was under warranty they gave us a fair deal so now my Missus has a decked out Tucson. This will be our 7th Hyundai and it is the first time one has ever failed us. Anyway 75 here and raining, gonna finish my coffee then we will get with our family.

Congrats and glad you had a safe trip. :)
Just tinkering in the war room, later today I need to run a vacuum in there.

Afternoon all.
105 and sunny here in the Northern part of the Golden state.
Been busy with fires the past couple weeks. There was one last night less than a mile from my parent’s place, started by a local crackhead. We caught it at about 6 acres, in 3 hours. I somehow ended up digging 100 yards of fireline by myself, but it was fun.

We manged to break the 100 mark yesterday with 105, and kept it up today at 103. Supposed to cool off to the upper 90s tomorrow.
So far haven't had the air conditioner kick in. With the overnight lows in the low 60s I open the windows after the OAT drops below 90 and soak up all the free cool air. Then I wait until the next day and the OAT pushes 90 and seal back up. Save on my electric bill and stress on the grid.

Russ, my 1969 was British Racing Green w/ black leather (69 was the last year for leather upholstery)
It came with wire wheels, but I swapped them out for Minilites.
Factory headers, and 45 DCOE Webber Carburetor. The head was ported & polished and shaved 60 thousands.
It raised compression 9.5 to 1, course all the smog pump crap was discarded.
Lowered and a larger front sway bar and added a rear sway bar, and competition valve shocks.
Tires ware Michlin ZX Radials, and of course a roll over bar was installed.
In 1995, I was given a non-running 1974 MGB by a friend, this one got a small block V8.
The work was done as High School auto shop project.

Love the Oddball pic! One of my favorite movies. It was one on regular rotation at my place in college.

I had a '66 bug when I was stationed in Germany. I had three different engines in it while I had it, the second one was definitely not stock. I don't know what all had been done to it, but it was pretty fast. It would easily bury the stock speedometer, I swapped it out with one I found in a junkyard, either came from some kind of Porsche or maybe a Kharman Ghia. I think I had it up near 160KM HR a few times, but eventually blew that engine, replaced it with a 1200-figured that motor wouldn't go fast enough to tear itself apart.

Guessers said 72% rain yesterday, while it did happen elsewhere, we were in the 28% zone.
We got Nada, zilch, nothing, the wall was just a few miles West though and we did get a touch of cooler breeze. Staring at 95° again and 50% TS's.
On the more domestic front, Publix Market had pork loins two for one sale.
They offered a couple of different marinades', so I opted for one of each, Rotisserie seasoned & Applewood.
I froze one and am doing the other today.
I have some fresh greens; I'll do up in chicken broth w/ some onions.

Morning all, hope you are all well today. Gonna be 100 here today, and the rest of the week near it. Of course we have Vacation Bible School at Church this week, but we moved it to the evenings. Goal for today is assembling a new 3D printer the Missus bought me for my birthday. They are pretty neat to fool around with. She is absolutely in love with her new SUV, so that turned out well. You all have a good one.

The cats and I are into week 4 of being on our own. This no need for bail for any of us!
Jake’s out in the fenced backyard. He has become used to getting out from about 6 AM til 6 PM everyday now. He was not happy on the days that we went over 100 degrees. Then he had to come in so I could close up the house and keep the over night cool in. Still haven’t had the AC kick in, even with OTs from 100-105 during the afternoons.
Samantha just came in the den, and I believed she gave me her itinerary for the day. After much Meowing discussion I think she said she was going to go eat and the go back to sleep.
We are now only expecting high 80’s for then next 10 days. No rain, but cloudy the other day over the valley, and we had a power outage over our entire zip code area here in Northwest Reno. No word from the power company as to the cause, but we were out for about an hour.
Severe clear outside with deep blue skies, right now. Got a Doc Appt. for hearing aids this afternoon, so Jake will have to give up some out side time.

92 HI 101, Riley peed very fast a bit ago. I'm staying in. Had computer prob last night, still had it this morning.
Keyboard went out, went and got one yesterday, saved $10 and got a wired one again. Everything went fine with new one till late evening, was doing weird things, would not open windows but phone had WiFi, so mine should work because it's wired also. Again this morning. Noticed a glow to the side of my desk. Old keyboard had decided to work again and was on. Worked on an off. Shut it down and it works. Old mouse is in the drawer, may add it back and put the newer one in the drawer with it's plug in thing. Don't care what anyone says, wired is better.

It's been cloudy and light drizzle since the morning, the most is moving out east into the Ocean now.
It did keep thing cooler presently 83 degrees and drizzle has quit.
I decide to make scratch spaghetti sauce for tonight, it is simmering now. :)
-
Heavy thunderstorms here right now, Heard the weirdest thunder, it actually sounded like it was reverberating, lasted about 15 seconds. Never heard anything like that before.
-
Now have a mouse again instead of a hamster. Just need to go get me a wired printer some time for this one they lost the power cord and the book for.

95F HI 110, I'm planning on staying inside like yesterday, did take the garbage out about dark, will likely today. ::)

Glad tomorrow is better, got to play modern guy and go to a baby shower. One of youngests best friends and one of the kids I used to work with, one I really liked. Supposed to bring a book we liked as a kid instead of a card so for many reasons I got Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel.

Hit 103 today, it has "moderated" to 101 right now. Got the new-fangled printer up and running. Goal is to stay in AC as much as possible. Left overs tonight, and watch the Cards-Cubs game. Some good old fashioned baseball last night in that one.

That was one book from my childhood I made sure my kids got as well.
I could report on the weather here, but it's about what the other Nebraskans have been saying. However, at the moment my wife is at her folks' farm between Aurora and Henderson with the kids, and she just called to say they're not leaving yet because they're getting a severe thunderstorm and hail.
When it comes to Nebraska weather, anything is possible.

Guessers say 91° Today, 74° presently. and clear.
They are calling 64% rain, but it has been skirting all around us the last few days, so we'll see. :-\
Got a few honey-do's on tap, nothing too taxing.
The book I recall from childhood was " The Lion's Paw" a sailing adventure story.

Got it here now. A lot cooler today.

Had supper ready to microwave. Smothered burritos. Glad I did, got home from urgent care and ER a bit ago. Called it right on, bronchitis turning into pee-monia, got antibiotics and told it was good to catch it quick.

I remember that one.
But you wanted to be a sailor, I liked steam and was so sad when the last of them left the tracks, a few hauled grain in the fall till about 1960 or so.

Greetings all.
100 degrees, 12% humidity.
Been quite busy the past couple weeks. Horse surgeries, fires, trail construction projects etc. here’s the highlights:
Bought the wife another car. This one a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer. We needed a commuter for the 50 mile one way commute every day, and the price was right.
Horse is getting a surgery to remove a “growth” on his nose and hip. I don’t know much about it, other than that I have to pay.
Had a few fires, the most recent of which was Saturday night and into Sunday morning. Only 1/4 acre, but is mile hike in to get to it. There were a couple other roadside fires that we took care of in under an hour as well.
I’m also in the process of getting a promotion at work, from pay grade 3 to 4. It’s $1.20/hr bump in pay, so I’ll take it.
