So if the bloodly ****ing neighbors have a problem with him doing with
his property as he wishes..Im sure the owner would not have a single
problem with the neighbors/Council simply having a Paint a Fence
project and just paint the boys fence a nice color.
It would sure as hell be cheaper than the $80,000 they have spent so
far.


And where is Bakersville California? Ive never heard of it.

Um, "Why didn't the city (or neighbors) use $2,000 to put up a fence
of their own?" one wonders, instead of wasting $80k on meetings.

What the hell is wrong with Bakersfield? Its a very nice and rather
beautiful city. Its laid out well, roadways are good and it takes very
little effort to travel around in good time. People are friendly,
multiracial and rather conservative politically. They are also very
pro-gun, with the issuance of CCW on a "shall issue" basis.

We had some drizzles overnight, but just sun and clouds alternating
all day here. 2mph with 4mph gusts, nice and quiet.

Rain is forcast midweek. Im going through bins, drawers, containers
out in the shop and organizing and sorting. and weeding **** out. Ive
filled (2) 55 gallon drums with crap so far....lots of rusty hardware,
misc odds and ends, wierd ****. Ive filled 50 big fastener drawers
with fasteners s from #0 through 1/2"

Lots more to go through...my roommate..the lazy *******..is getting a
job for this week..sorting fasteners...(grin)

I had no ..no freaking idea that I had that much stainless steel
fasteners. Every thing from round head/socket head cap screws and
fillister head from #4-40 through 5/16.

All new..about 300 lbs worth.
Short on nuts though...sigh..but I have lots of taps.

Anyone need any SS fasterners..let me know

Hell..Ive been buying a bolt here and there for the boat work...and
that **** is EXPENSIVE at the hardware store. Wish Id looked in that
barrel before now...

Got another 400 lbs of new standard steel fasteners in every shape
and size.
The shop is starting to look pretty good again. It went down hill
after the heart attack and the stroke. Frankly..I couldnt think well
enough in some cases to do sorting properly. I opened a drawer today
and thought.."****..what the hell was I thinking??"

Im not even sure where the hell I got all of it. Most of it was in
bags of a thousand or so. Samples from the looks of it..must have come
from one of my clients, shrug. Just cant think who it might have
been. Traveler and part numbers, job numbers on tags inside the bags
with the notation most of it was in 416 and 316 SS

Now Ive got enough SS fasteners to do all the boat work and then a
****load.

Ive been doin this for about a week now..and the shop is starting to
look pretty usable . Cleaned up the machines, dedusted most everything
out there, moved the Kennedys around so they arent blocking traffic,
fixed a lathe, going to move in a DV-59 second ops lathe tommorow
thats been outside collecting dust for 4 yrs. Ive used it now and
then..but hauling out a 3ph extension cord and knocking off the dust
everytime I needed to use it..pain in the ass. Going to move the wood
burning stove and the tool and cutter grinder and plop it into place
and wire it up.

Anybody wants a B300 tool and cutter grinder with all the
accessories..let me know. Same with a big clone of a Brown & Sharpe
6x18 surface grinder (with coolant pump and electric mag chuck....

They look like these

Too damned hot, iffen ya ask me.

It got UP to 71 yesterday. I weeding and cleaning up the shop and it
was rather nice out there. Little breeze, full sun...71

Um, I was referring to the 4+ months you can't go outside without a
hat, oven gloves, SPF50 lotion, and a respirator on down there.
giggle

Nah..its never that hot. Its not like Oz or the heart of the
Amazon..or someplace.

After all....Its a dry heat

(Grin)

As if that ever fixed anything...


Today its 69 at 2:30 pm

We got up to 51 today (49 this morning, kinda boring).


No snow either (Grin)

We had some drizzles overnight, but just sun and clouds alternating
all day here. 2mph with 4mph gusts, nice and quiet.

Rain is forcast midweek. Im going through bins, drawers, containers
out in the shop and organizing and sorting. and weeding **** out. Ive
filled (2) 55 gallon drums with crap so far....lots of rusty hardware,
misc odds and ends, wierd ****. Ive filled 50 big fastener drawers
with fasteners s from #0 through 1/2"

Whew! That's work. I assembled another storage rack ($44 at HD) and
am filling it with 5gal buckets of storage.


Lots more to go through...my roommate..the lazy *******..is getting a
job for this week..sorting fasteners...(grin)

Just keep an eye on him, eh?


I had no ..no freaking idea that I had that much stainless steel
fasteners. Every thing from round head/socket head cap screws and
fillister head from #4-40 through 5/16.

I wish we'd spotted that, too.


All new..about 300 lbs worth.
Short on nuts though...sigh..but I have lots of taps.

BRASS nuts? titter


Anyone need any SS fasterners..let me know

NOW you tell me.


Hell..Ive been buying a bolt here and there for the boat work...and
that **** is EXPENSIVE at the hardware store. Wish Id looked in that
barrel before now...

No kidding.


Got another 400 lbs of new standard steel fasteners in every shape
and size.

Wow!


The shop is starting to look pretty good again. It went down hill
after the heart attack and the stroke. Frankly..I couldnt think well
enough in some cases to do sorting properly. I opened a drawer today
and thought.."****..what the hell was I thinking??"

"All hardware goes in this drum." Eek!


Im not even sure where the hell I got all of it. Most of it was in
bags of a thousand or so. Samples from the looks of it..must have come
from one of my clients, shrug. Just cant think who it might have
been. Traveler and part numbers, job numbers on tags inside the bags
with the notation most of it was in 416 and 316 SS

Cool.


Now Ive got enough SS fasteners to do all the boat work and then a
****load.

Ive been doin this for about a week now..and the shop is starting to
look pretty usable . Cleaned up the machines, dedusted most everything
out there, moved the Kennedys around so they arent blocking traffic,
fixed a lathe, going to move in a DV-59 second ops lathe tommorow
thats been outside collecting dust for 4 yrs. Ive used it now and
then..but hauling out a 3ph extension cord and knocking off the dust
everytime I needed to use it..pain in the ass. Going to move the wood
burning stove and the tool and cutter grinder and plop it into place
and wire it up.

Only a week and it now looks usable? You _have_ been working. bseg
You have the wood burner for those days it gets below 70F, eh?

Ayup. Keep in mind that I generally am nocturnal..IE I do most of my
work at night out in the shop. View my posting hours...its at 9pm -5
am and mid afternoon. So I spend a lot of time in the early hours out
in the shop. And Im a California desert rat. When it gets down to
the 50s or below...I start looking for my Carrhart insulated coverals.
When it gets down to the low 40s..I dig out my Sorrel pacs to go with
the insulated coveralls.

I grew up in Northern Michigan...the Copper Country..but Ive been in
the desert for 40 yrs..my blood has thinned out ...shrug

So the fireplace/burner is for those nights when it gets down to the
30s and below.

Half the guys come in and see it and smile..ask me if its for heat
treating...(Grin)..the other guys come in and see it and say.."I gotta
get one of those"

Certainly helps a lot when fog season sets in. Havent had a good fog
season for a couple years..but thats because of the drought being at
its worst. Fog goes right through even the Carrharts.

yrs or so...

That didn't take too long. You had bagged and tagged that for return
the second day I was there. Do they do upgrades while refurbing?

Ayup. They have a 5 yr warranty on their products. Fix or replace.
Based on the serial number. Guy was selling broken ones on
Ebay..sailing master from a junior sailing club back east..paid $3
for it...but checked the serial number against Kestrals date list
before I bid and it was only 3 yrs old. So shipped it and it was back
in my hands in 2 weeks. I think they simply replaced it. Brand
spanking new one.

Wont have any leaves left on the trees by the time I wake up in a few
hours. (making note for the lazy roommate to rake the yard and clean
the leaves out of the rain gutters)

Why? Our leaves usually wait for a freeze to drop.


Maybe Ill say ****it and go sailing today!!!

Watch it die out by the time the sun comes up...sigh

Just to spite you. g
