Why is that there? Literally a beachcomber? Or headed to someplace?

I should have taken a video, might do it tomorrow.  It is a time rake machine that’ll level a hole dug in the sand, pick up seaweed and debris, trash, etc.  the back of it is a hydraulic dumpster!

The couple times I have went to Ocean City MD they also "groom" the sand/ beach early in the mornings to keep it A1 condition for all the beach goers.

Coffee with an iguana this morning...

 

 

[Tractorhead 9,064]

Sketching and constructing a little arround, while no Rim‘s.

 

Thinkering about may be a next Project for Scheduling

 

 

 

 

 

This are just raw sketches, let‘s see if it becomes reality sometimes.

Excellent find Mick.

Nice to be able to move the weights around the tractor as needed as well.

Speny this morning putting up some industrial themed ornaments in the hallway.

Sandra likes the engineering look so got away with some heavy metal on the wall...

[ebinmaine 67,628]

Niiiice

[Mickwhitt 4,642]

How am I going to measure anything 19 inches diameter now?

And that set square took some mounting on the wall, be a bugger if I need to check anything 3 foot long for square.

At least you know where you tools are. I think you just needed a good place to put them and you talked her into it. Pretty slick.

I hate to say it Mick but I think you're going to need to just buy more tools

[Mickwhitt 4,642]

Can I just say, no pressure was applied,  Sandra loves industrial chic and has had me making fireplaces and stuff out of I beam girders etc.

 

It is a neat way to store my tools and keep them clean. Lol

Sounds kind of like my Other Half. 

Tough to live like this isn't it...

Yesterday, we flapped our wings real hard and landed ourselves in the baggage claim in Detroit, MI.  It was 50-ish outside and t-shift weather still if you ask me.  We drove home and sorted a few things and hit the hay.  This morning, everything is white!  Not 35” white, but enough to say it might be a white Christmas!  Enjoy your family everyone, and give someone you love a phone call, a hug or kiss.  We need that for our soul, maybe more than we need to distance.

That's what I have had for the past 10 years or so, a splash of red or black you'll never know, BTW the true JD version has their logo cast into them, so they are universal, I have 3 originally green is painted red and just got 2 more black a 35# TORO weight.

Time to run another loaf of bread in the bread machine today.

 

Didn't look quite right while it was mixing.  Looked even stranger when it was finished:

 

 

First epic fail I've had out of the bread machine.  Not sure what I miss-measured.

 

Then again, if I knew how I did this, I could do it again for chili bowls!

OK, if I figure out what I did to make it, I'll name the recipe Wisconsin Whole Wheat Cheese Head Bread.

 

I've got another batch in the machine.  This one looks 'normal'.  Looks like the first batch today had too much butter, and the flour/liquid ratio was too far on the liquid side.

 

That malformed loaf tastes great.  We've been slicing on it all night.

Woke up to the sound of cars slithering past our house, we live on quite a hill.

First decent snow fall we have had in years. It will probably all be gone by this afternoon lol.

Get the plow out, quick!

[Mickwhitt 4,642]

No need to ask twice! 

Made short work of the drive then did the pavements up and down hill.

Performed admirably. It was a good shakedown for a brand new home built plow. 

Some details to attend to but very happy with first trial.
