The Weekend Thread 4.0

Right. What are you doing this weekend?

Tonight - Shabbat Services, making signs for garage sale tomorrow, and then putting them out tonight.

Saturday - Garage Sale from 6-1pm. 1pm - 5pm getting rid of crap that didn't sell.

Sunday - Morning service. Rest of the day to mess around.

 

Today I am working 12 hours, tomorrow I am working 10 hours and sunday I am working 6 hours..... what is this "Weekend" thing you speak of :-D

 

Hi! Going to the farm and check the progress on the wind turbines. They are supposed to start putting them up very soon. I know some members here are tried of hearing about my wife's wind farm, but it's very exciting for our community and our family. We have been blessed and I'm very thankful.

 

Well, the messing around bit I mentioned on Sunday? Yeah, actually I am testing a new spaceship for the Space Corps....

Smoke me a kipper....

 

First I read about it. Please post some pics whenever you have some, starting at the base to a completely built one, I love them all. It's about time we wean ourselves off the teat of fossil fuels!:cool What's going to be left for the next 7 generations to use and not abuse like we have.

 

Hi! I have a couple of pictures I can share. Thanks for asking. These are the only ones I have right now.

You can see them in above link.
The large hole will be a lake some day. They needed dirt and I needed a lake:-D
This is on my wife's farm. 320 acres. Mostly native Buffalo grass. The lake will be at the bottom of a cannon. It's pretty big and will take a long time to fill it up. The project is in Dewey County Canton Oklahoma.
Here's link about it!

It's good for Oklahoma and it's good for the USA

 

I'm with you! Although the hours vary. Tonight will be 6 hours, tomorrow 12, and Sunday 14. :-D

I'll probably be having more fun, though. I'm doing laundry for Shrek the Musical this week. :-D

 

Have fun sir. Don't get banned. rolleyes be careful with those fireworks, they can hurt you!!:major

 

In Oklahoma it is illegal to fire fireworks in side the city limits, but you can fire them outside the city limits. I don't know about Florida. Ask Tim??? No comment on rolleyes

 

We're opening a new space in a local antiques mall the first of the month, so I'll start cleaning up some pieces, pricing, etc...

Been a tough week, so I hope I'll get some time this weekend to just...do...nothing...

:wine

 

Thanks for the pics oej. That's quite the xformer, I assume that's for a lot of machines?

 

I believe these are your words Sir.

 

No Sir! Every turbine will have a transformer like that. I wife sold OGE 6 acres for 18,000$. They will build the Sub station on her land. That will be where the high transmission line will start and connect to the one going to Oklahoma City. That's the way I understand it. All lines from all 98 turbines will connect to the sub station on my wife's land. She will have 3 turbines on her land. They will pay 30,000$ a year and go up every 5 years. I think I better answer your questions on the thread I started Oklahoma Wind Farm
I will post more pictures on that thread when I get them. Thanks for your interest my friend!!

 

I am going to play some old school ultima online. And if anybody knows about that then they know you can do a lot of stuff in a day/week/month and still get nothing done! But I am doing quest and raising money for my character to buy my skills up to 120

 

Yeah, but the odds of him banning MA, especially considering MA is one of the site owners, and considering he wasn't the one who started the thread, are pretty much nil.

 

Aww Tim, and here I thought you were talking about me. We're breaking up!:-D

 

Fine then, have your dalliances with Rikky for all I care, I'll 'put the lights on'.:-D( some nice Santana and Everlast)

 

What, a 10hr drive from there with cheap American booze too? :cool I got the smokes. She'll be back Sunday night. roflmao

 

I hope that was was a joke.

 

Damn it to hell man! Weekend too, meaning no specialists around. Hang in there.

 

Hi! I don't mean to jump in between these posts! I just want to repeat what augiedoggie said. Hang in there. I went threw 6 months of chemo. It's not a pleasant thing. I had a low grade fever for six months. You have chills and feel like crap. It will be a tough time for both of you. Just make sure you tell her you love her every day. That's about all you can do. My wife got me through the 6 months. She was my rock! I going on 7 years now and I'm not showing any signs of cancer. I wish you the best my friend

 

Just hold on to the thought Tim that Diane will get over this.
My wife Laurette was diagnosed with breast Cancer 15 years ago and has been plagued with skin cancer since but she is still going strong, she will probably outlive me.

Good Karma coming your way for a positive result from the Doc.

 

Poor girl to have to endure that and not have a resolution to hand, just wait for worse things if they happen. Does she at least have some sleep meds? Nights are the worst to bear of course.

 

The hell with saying on topic. She will start feeling better just before the next treatment, and them go through the same crappy felling again and again. If she has problems; they will put her on the big dog anti botic. If she ever says it feels like ants are biting her, tell some one immediately. This is the sign of allergic reaction and can be very dangerous. I had that reaction. I had to spend time in hospital a couple of times, because the treatment was to strong. Don't be afraid to report every little thing. The next few months will be a very rough time in your lives, but you will get through it. You have many friends here on the forum to help you through this. Share your thoughts and feelings with your friends here. That's what friends are for!!

Hi!! I vote we keep this thread open for Tim to tell us about his week ends, because there will be many that will not be pleasant. Share your thoughts with your friends. It will be a big help getting you through this.
Cancer survivors are a different breed. We cheated the cancer SOB, and we appreciate being alive with our friends. I watched my father die a terrible death, because they didn't have all these things they have now. You will make it through all this, and your friends are here to make sure you do.

 

Your welcome!! My treatments were more often and they lasted two days in a row. I had to go in 4 times a month and I seldom felt good. I'm glad to hear only 4 treatments in all. Some times my red blood count would be to low and I would have to wait till they got it back up with shots in my fat belly before I could take another treatment. I didn't mean to hi jack this thread and make it about me. I just wanted to offer my support. I probably went over board. I'm kind a know for that!! I wish you the best!!
Now back to your normally scheduled program

 

Worked at a cubscout camp thursday friday, saterday did the radio thing with field day, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Day_(amateur_radio) , then sunday back to camp for final day of cub camp and shutdown.

 

You must have loved the sound of naphtha lamps with the bag back in the old days.

 

Hi!! Didn't make it to the farm this week end. We will go next week end. I will try to take some more pictures and post them on my thread (Oklahoma Wind Farms.) It's been in the 100's all week in Oklahoma, No relief in site. It's hard to breathe. Big electric bill next month:cry:cry

 

Interesting thread. TimW, good thoughts sent your way...

As for my weekend, I have Sunday off!! Been 'modding' my 1911 pistol some, will see if it shoots or if I own an expensive paperweight. :-D

 

Just don't point it near you or anyone else when you do pull the trigger.:-D

 

What, I thought you were going to by my test target. :cry Mods worked flawlessly, nice groups. I do simple gun mods, I ain't that stupid! Just shortened the recoil guide rod, and beveled it, and sanded it nice and purdy.

The sad news is the .45 has been pulled out of HD duty until I can get a gunsmith to do a bit 'o work. Seems the barrel link pin has drifted slightly, and will need to be staked. (nope, was not part of my 'mod') I don't stake pins, don't have the tools to do that.
