It's a "ning" of some kind.

Final wave of house guests of the year (2 close friends who are sisters) arrive tomorrow (another friend left this past Wednesday).  We're starting at my place for a few days, then the mtns for several days.   I'm working M-W but W is a travel day.  Vacation days Th. and Fri.    Knowing these two and what has happened in the past when we're together, I may be stumbling around here looking for the drunk thread next Wed. night/Th. morning.   You've all been warned.   ;D

Enjoy the weekend.

Late morning.

Raining here.

Had a great turkey day.  Have tons of leftovers.

B's youngest brother was in town a couple days after being in Toronto for work.  Got a chance to catch up after not seeing each other in many years.

Well, the problem wasn't what I thought it was.

Luckily, I saved it. I took the pull starter off, and was able to turn the motor over with a socket and ratchet. Didn't take very much. Put it back together, and it started right up.

Doesn't idle great, but it never did. Runs fine at full throttle, especially under load, and that's the way it runs when in use, so I'll run it until it won't anymore, and deal with it then. ;D

I've been in Austin, TX for the last few days.  Thanksgiving day with my cousin and her family not far from here.

Hung out with Bergweiserus last night.  Hadn't seen him in a long time.

UM/OSU game sucked today.

Good news! I hope it works well for you every day this winter  ;)
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

If I asked for this one and many more would I be being greedy? [laugh]

Left McKinleyville CA at 0900 and got home at 2030! Long drive with a few stops.

Made it safely.
