I just re-joined FR and I would like to post to my local NC state board but I am not able to. How do I get the ability to do that?
What i read:
"I can picture as the material age that eventually the entire world will be made of various colours of Gorilla.."
What happened:
Aliens where flying through the Milky-way on a mapping mission and located a strange plant orbiting a yellow star that was covered in a mile thick protective coating of PVC and nylon-mesh laminate held together with the most powerful glue this side of Andromeda.
As a thought...Cover the cover in Gorilla tape now. A preemptive fix.
Well at least it wasn't a fleet of Vogon constructor ships making a galactic superhighway...
When the Warmest Winter Eeeverrr is over, the plan is to reinforce the spots that have demonstrated weakness with whatever colour Gorilla I can find (Wallyworld only had the black.)
Actually they're not so much weak points as wear points from the whole structure writhing in the winds. It did take a few years, Sandy, other bigblowing storms and a massive roof snowload this Warmest Winter Eeeverrr to cause the worn areas to expose themselves though.
The weakened spots are where the cover passes over joints in the pipe frame. Apparently just that minor ridge coupled with the wind action abrades the cover and makes a thin spot, so I plan to wrap the joints in Gorilla to minimize abrasion come the Warmest Summer Eeeverrr that surely will follow the Warmest Winter Eeeverrr...
It's cheaper than buying a new cover, which is of course what ShelterLogic wishes.
It's just not as aesthetic. But the Olde Deere doesn't care...
Stolen...
Blair Cat Project?
Yu bin warned.
Without the hydrocarbons from Titan, how can we ever hope to pave the earth?
My cat won’t disappear me.
At least I think she wouldn’t.
The person who fills the food bowl is usually safe.
Oooh. That varies.
This particular face looks like Jake from the same angle.
I can see Jake riding a battle mech, happily meowing at the humans panicking.
Mao.
In "Destiny's Road", they used a hovering fusion-drive rocket ship to melt the surface into a glassy material. Wanna do it that way?
“The sugar is probably from Florida.”
Or Utah, Idaho or California...beet sugar rules!
Good point.
I’m back from CA, but we didn’t get the engine. There was a problem with the oil pan and that needs to be fixed before Busdaddy can race it.
However, it now runs on regular gas instead of the $15 a gallon racing gas. The HP went from 951 to 822, and that last figure was achieved with street gas! WOO-HOO!
We have to go back next week to get the engine, as the repairs will be done by then. However, we will NOT go on Friday!!! CA drivers are the extremely WORST drivers I’ve ever seen! Even in Pak, at least the drivers were courteous! It took us 20 minutes to go about 1/2 mile to pick up a freeway that would take us to the I-15 20 miles later, and those 20 miles took us about 70 minutes.
I-15 wasn’t as bad, but it still took us a total of almost six hours to get home.
Busdaddy found a dentist who would help him (he had been there before, and they still had his file) and he was given pain pills and antibiotics on Thursday night. He was so much better yesterday, it was like he was a different man. I was relieved.
At one point, close the the CA/NV state line, the lanes opened up and he made up for time by doing 100 mph for about five miles. :o])
Anyway, I’m home with clean laundry and no food to speak of, so I’m sure to lose some weight this weekend!
Too bad about the engine, but at least the trip was a success. Did Sparkle chew your extremities off for leaving her?
We have a choir practice this afternoon and a concert at church tonight.
No, Sparkle was rather docile, but some things hanging on the wall over the bed were askew, which tells me she found a new toy. She also ate every bit of three days’ worth of wet and dry food, but had plenty of water. I was concerned she would tip the water dish over, but it didn’t happen.
I need to get in there in a while and clean her box as well as dust the floor. She’s not happy with the dust mop, so I wanted her to eat before I went in there.
I missed her.
