What did you do today?

[Fightnfire]

Bonfire sounds nice. At this rate, though, I don't know if I will even get a chance to use my fire pit. I just saw two new fires broke out 100 miles from me. The entire state is in a burn ban.

That sucks, plenty of water out here, our burn bans don't typically start til July. I need to reclaim some of my yard. I take what falls and cut a few per year but I need to push it back hard this year.

New tires and an alignment today

My county went stupid on the burn ban. We're in such a drought right now that they limited watering to a four hour window, once a week but they lifted the burn ban.

Security was quick in Denver. However, flight delayed 3 hours into NY La Guardia. That airport is still having issues getting going after that accident last week.

Finally got a chance to get my snow tires off and swapped to summers.

I was just thinking. Since Tim hits all these airports, he should give us reviews of who has the best coffee and lunch at each place.

I can tell you about the United Clubs that's about it. It is actually cheaper to pay the $600 for a United Club membership than to pay $30-40 a meal for each time I travel if not more $$$.

 

[Saddle Tramp]

I believe it.

I put a new seat cover on my driver's seat bottom in my 2004 Silverado, that was a difficult endeavor.
I had an appolstery shop fix it about 15 years ago and it started to blow out again.

How did it turn out?

How did it turn out?

It turned out ok, there is a loose section of fabric on the left side but I am not going through that again to fix it.

 

[testerdahl]

I just did a 30-minute LIVE interview on Road Dog Trucking, where they had me as an "agricultural expert." I mean, I do pay attention to the Ag business, but I'm no expert.

Luckily, I got the host to pivot to the EPA, diesel prices and DEF changes quite quickly.

I really hope nobody saved that segment. LOL

Did you have to deal with hog rings? Upholstery is one of the reasons why I traded in my last truck.

No hog rings on the seat, GM has a plastic strip that you have flip over to snap onto the seat frame then some plastic snaps to snap onto the seat frame.

Made a lead hammer today, my brother's boss has about 5 or 10,000 pounds of lead from a sailboat keel, I knocked a bit off for a little hammer project, I may make a smaller one tomorrow.

Nice!

Never heard or seen a lead hammer. Pretty cool! Is it like a rubber mallet? Hit stuff but it does not leave a mark?

 

[testerdahl]

Had a Facebook memory pop up and I found this gem.

 

[testerdahl]

A bit wild, I had a spokesperson for a U.S. Senator reach out to see if I wanted to interview this person. Did NOT expect that email. And, yes, I said yes to the interview. More to come.

Went exploring with the boys today, road is almost clear to the top. Plowed a trail through some snow, good times!
