Morning all,
I'm either so damn early or something has happened to the time space continuum as I do not see a coffee this morning. So, all I have to offer is fried eggs anyway you like, java, soda, juice and cereal. I could be convinced to make a salad. I have some left over pizza, your welcome to it. I do have milk, half and half, and french vanilla creamer for those who like the java with a little something in it.
I hope Freddy is safe and doing well.
It is a fast day today as my wife and I are off to a graduation this a.m. I hope it is quick and cool. I have to remember to feed the 507's before we leave or they will be out. I had to take the laptop back to be serviced as the hard drive died yet again. I decided to purchase another one this time an hp. According to the repair center they have replaced the hard drive and is sending me my laptop back. Not sure what I will do with it. Time will tell
Freetown Fred, How is the building going? Pics please.
I guess I am going to cut this short and get my butt going. I hope everyone has a safe and productive weekend. This is strange as I have never started a Saturday morning java.
Remember we are now one day closer to the first snow fall. We have officially passed the longest day of the year so we are speeding towards winter. Let me hear a YES!
The snowman.

Yes! The longest day has passed us and onward we go.
Thanks for making coffee this morning. It's sure nice to know others will jump in & keep the Java flowing. I'm late for two reasons: I'm slowly changing my schedule and sleeping in later and later. I used to be up at 5 every day, but now it's more like 6. Today.....even later! And two.... and you computer Gurus feel free to speculate.... my brand new replacement computer is doing the same thing the first one did! I booted it this morning and no mouse, no keyboard. What the???? After three reboots they finally kicked in. Arghhhhh! What is it with me & electronics lately? Yesterday the SD card in my phone died....died dead! I lost all my photos. I did happen to do a backup a week ago so I only lost the few I took this week.
Today.... the Whoopie pie festival in Dover. Big doings, yessa! You all come & taste 'em! Tomorrow taking the pontoon boat for it's first ride. Cuz Chris has some friends up from NY & we are going to have lunch on the water. Summer is finally here!
Hug your loved ones & forward we go.

Snowman,
Good job on getting that first pot started. I put some venison sausage in the fridge if anyone wants to sample some.
Freddy, you might have to do a "Smitty" on that new computer and just blast away...........................
A little work for me in the shop this morning waiting for the grass to dry out then home to cut it again.... Later this afternoon it is off to watch the grandson at his LAX game. The other grandson is out in Pittsburgh at a baseball tournament. Have to watch their play on the Game Changer for Baseball app.
So glad those storms have finally passed off the coast. That humidity was brutal this past week !!!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend spent relaxing and enjoying your families.

Mornin',
'Freddy sleepin' in!!!' We better write that one on the notepad. 'Snowman' saved the day-good coffee!
Drove out to Warren, Pa. for a grand daughters High school graduation last week. Lotsa road work-paving everywhere, and,toll booth demolition on Mass pike, and, Binghamton, N.Y., what a mess they have. Looks the same as it did 5 years ago!
Folks, we're into Summer now-stay safe, and enjoy!!!
Cheers

Ahhh Yes,My Coal Faithful ! Gather 'Round The Snowman !!
Hat's off,Snow ! Nice job kicking in the door to Freddy's Coffee House. This Place takes a knockin' and just keeps a rockin' ! It's really rewarding to see the "Fill In,Move Up" Technology that fired the first post today. That's what that Crafty 'Ol Mainah would want Us to do. Had to work today,so dropping by on a Saturday sure worked well. We played Monsoon Lagoon here in Ohio yesterday. Man,what a difference a day makes !
As We still entertain the June Swoon here,it's still so Good to see the faces of the Coal Faithful. We are definitely a Digital Family ! Hell,sometimes We're even the Manson Family when the Topic,much like the Coal,gets hot and rolling ! Not alot going on,so it might be a very good time to think back at an issue that was either a huge kick in the pants,or a downright frustration to You in Our last Burning Season.... Take the time to go after it now ! You'll be really glad You did !!
As Always,Take Care,Gang !!

Looks real good! They (and you) sure can put a barn together fast....and do it right! I'm still pondering doing something about a pole barn, or some facsimile.... A buddy of mine is coming into some high tensile 6 or 8 inch pipe....20ish feet long. I might end up with it and do something inventive. Time will tell.freetown fred wrote: Final pix from last job.
Onward!
