Twuck shufflin’
well, its been a wet chilly day, lots of rain, that seems to have blown out now,,, (radar says its still rainin’ but I was out and didn’t feel a drop. well, other than the drips of trees and awnings,,,)
Shuffled things around a bit. Moved my torchset into the new not yet complete woodshed, tarped it over using the frame as support. No need for that set to be exposed to weather. (need new hoses and a tank refill, but use it so infrequently,,,) Did some cleanin’ up of Buffalos stall, and then the DANCE OF TWUCKS,,,
Pull Bloo out onto the drive, (leave running, why not, she takes a bit to warm up) Then pull Buffalo out, spin her about, and back in,,, Back THROUGH her stall so her bed is hangin’ out in the breezes. didn’t like the first spot so wiggled around a bit, gaining a foot extra on the drivers side, GOOD! Pull Bloo in so her bed is hanging out in the breezes on the other side. BOTH cabs under roof and room to move a little in both cases. No squeezing Dio to get around, but might be a bit tight if I need to pop a hood or two. Good thing about this; IF I need to jump one or the other, they are facing each other now, right where I would want them to be in that sort of emergency. AND now, that they are,,, won’t ever happen LOL.
I got seriously spoiled with having a carport, not needing to clean off windshields of snow or frost,,, Or like this AM: ICE! ( I knew what was coming last eve, and had tarped Bloo so all I had to do was pull the tarp, but there was a TON of ice on that tarp,,,) No thanks… I have no issues warming a truck up in the cold mornings, but HATE having to clean them of the cold stuff. Lazee? YUP,,, not proud.
And if things need turned or tuned or tweaked, its nice to have cover from the elements. May not be full covered, but better this than none.
No, Ain’t gotta thing to talk about. Already got the text from Son of Bossman, that we ain’ta workin’ tomorrow. 20F and all this wet today, there is going to be a serious coating of ice on everything. Even down in my shop, with its doors closed, there will be ice on any bare metal. It condenses out of the air and clings,,,, And that shop never warms up in the winter and never cools off in the summer. You freeze or bake; no in betweens. No, don’t really mind (other than lack of income) not being there tomorrow. I’ll make it through, somehows,someways,,,

Fires up in the stove, back up of propane OFF but available but see little need with the wood. Propane for waterheater and stove good to go, with a backup tank as needed, food on shelves, water aplenty, coffee,,,
I ain’t hurtin on those ends,,,

Hatez that yer gonna miss the FRN’s though. Never enuff o’ them to go round! Mikee can afford a small donation without stress (deal fell thru on a couple pieces of i-ron), if’n it’ll he’p – just say the werd😉
Glad ya got things better arranged with the twucks. Makes tings a bit easier. And yer right – now ya got ’em f-f, ya ain’t a-gonna need to jump either one! But – that’s a good thang!!
Agree on the ice – that wuz always whut I hated worst – whether on the glass or the road!
L’s!
Y’all take care,
Mike in FLA.
