Maggie’s What's Your View II

Lived here in Lane County Oregon all my life and there hasn't been many November's this nice. I walk my dogs 2.5 miles in the morning along the river and 1.5 miles in the evening and I've only had rain gear on 3 times so far this month.

This. 3/4" drive, 700 ft lbs torque. I have a 1/2" version, it'll bury hex lags and power lags in green treat lumber and pop lugs bolts off. With all your trucks, this with 6 point impact sockets might be just the ticket.

Food for thought....

Looks like the 1/2” had the same torque. I might just have to get one and use an adapter for the larger sockets
 
Started snowing a little while ago. The forecast is for up to 10". Too early for this stuff!

Yeah, we got our first brain chiggers here, too.

And of course now she's saying to go ahead and order a damned snow blower attachment for the tractor. Miss Indecision is finally convinced that DIY is gonna be cheaper.

Miss Indecision doesn't ever run the snow blower in our household, so she doesn't get a say in it. We don't get enough snow in Seattle to "blow it" anyway. But, she has told our friends that she has driven our riding lawnmower. Har de fukkin, har, har. In over ten years, she couldn't find the seat or the ignition if someone had a gun pointed at her.
But, there was the time in the early 90's that I bought a $1,500.00 Onan Generator. Nice unit. I took all kinds of shit for it, right up until the first storm knocked out our utility power and I started up the Onan. The Wife, MIL and our young daughter were cozied up on the master bed, watching their favorite TV show. The rest of the neighborhood was without power and their question/statement ? "How come we had to turn on the power to the TV again ?" Furnace was running, they had TV, hot water, nachos, hot toddies and cold drinks......Fuk.......I just went out to the garage and got another cold beer. I won that contest, except no one will ever know it. ;):rolleyes:

Every once in a while, for no reason, I look at the wife and say, “One day you’re going to thank me.” Then leave the room and leave her to ponder.

Do a thousand things right and you wont hear a thing about it. Screw up and you never hear the end of it.

Hah ! 30 years ago, I would have had serious doubts that she would have understood. Now, I'm certain she does. And, it's a two way street. Thanks Bud ! (y)(y)(y)
 
You ever wonder how many of them jump in here and slyly watch discussions like this?

I'm tempted to say all of them......but for some unknown reason, I don't think so.

Too bad, I think most of them would be very pleasantly suprised, as they should (or shouldn't) be. I also suspect it would take a lot of bravado for them to do it. They would probably have doubts as to what they would find.

I think and hope that if my Wife were to ever come here and look at my posts about her, it would move her to tears. She is fabulous. I am closing out the movie with us as co-stars.......I could not have done better.
 
Tell ya what, that darn fridge that was causing problems cost me a range night with my main shooting buddy last night and a couple nights to get stuff done, including some repairs to a 120 year old quarter sawn oak secretary desk I just was gifted.
I put in about 8 hrs between yesterday and today in all dealing with it and the repair guys (thank goodness for warranty work).

I got a very sincere thank you and she will not forget. She has a heart of gold and knows how much work I put into taking care of things for her.

I know I am the luckiest bugger in the world and a little work here and there (or work at it every day.....) is part of the deal.
