Mornin'
Door's open, lights are on, nobody home!!! Freddy, are you lost in the 'backwoods of Maine' ?

No 'gourmet breakfast' here, but, I have the pot a brewing. July gone, one more month of un-official Summer, then we'll be lighting them up.

Have a nice week-end everyone.
Cheers

I think we must send out a welfare check on the Fredster. The mosquito's may have been to much. Best reason to wish for the end of summer for sure, the first solid freeze will end them......On another note, I actually saw one here in Tenn. last week. Thanks for opening up D, busy day ahead with buying new swim shoes, wife's allergy shot and installing led lighting on my boat. Have a great weekend all!

Yo-Ho Carbonite Types! Thanx,D-frost for once again firing up Ops at the 'Ol Coffee Hut! I'm figurin' Ol Frederico is running it ragged at the North Camp. Probably won't be back until he's either run out of Jet Ski gas,or has a beard down to his knees! Hopefully Both! Whoohoo! Meanwhile,All's Well here at the Bay. Thank God! Here's to All of You making it the same way!!!

Morning,

Thanks for opening the door D. Not many members around this Summer. Don't worry, they'll all be back once there is a chill in the air!

Hey, hey now, don’t treat me so bad. Don’t rush the chill... the coal delivery boy needs a rest now and then too! :lol:

The largest of several power plants we haul to lost a steam turbine and is down for awhile so the tri-axle work has been slow lately. But, no mind, there is lime to spread and several coal deliveries have gone out already.

Not much else to report, we poured the concrete floor for the coal bin yesterday. Taking some time often to enjoy some AA baseball with the kids and enjoying the warm weather.

Have a great week everyone.

85 degrees here. Just finished changing the oil in the rear axle of our Expedition. Boy does that Ford limited slip additive stink!

Time for a beer and a swim. Take care everyone.

Beautiful 51 degrees here...steak, fresh tater hash and eggs on the menu. My coal boiler is ready and my stash of PA anthracite is ready to roll. It will be mid November before I give it a go I'm sure. Wishing you all a great day!

I’ll take a kona blend cup GAW, to bad wawa doesn’t creep a little further north. Nearest one is 80/476 intersection. About an hour - hour 15 ride.
