Well, it's already getting chilly here, and quite windy for today and tomorrow.... Must be gettin' old, probably just sit home and watch the tube tonight....... Is Gunsmoke still on at 8:00 and Carol Burnett at 9:00???? I haven't watched a lot of TV lately.....
They say we could get a little of the white stuff by Sunday night. Cold front headed this way.
We had some of that crap on Wednesday, gone now but it sure was ugly....
We get Gunsmoke thru Retro Television network.. not sure when it is on now, havn't seen it in a while, but when it was on and I knew it was, Marshal dillion and Gunsmoke were played back to back..
it's windy here too, didn't get much done ither
Retro TV???? You mean they don't have new shows for the new fall season this year????? Geez, what's Chester gonna do??? Tough for a guy like that to find work!!!!!
PS--Kitty is HOT!!!!!

I know what you mean Dave, when I was back in Illinois last week about Wed the weather cooled off and got chilly (even saw frost on the windshield last Sat when I was in Des Moines). Since then the arthritis in my knees has been killing me even back here in AZ.
I guess I haven't helped it much the last couple of days, I've been up and down on the shop roof clearing overhanging branches and installing 4 sky lights (should really help the next time I paint something in there).
God have we really turned into the old guys compailing about aches and pains?????? :rolleyes: :LOL: :LOL:
By the way Andy Griffith on at 7, Gunsmoke's on at 5 and Bonanza at 6 ;)
Do the skylights help a lot Mike???
It's brighter in there now with the lights off than it was with them on before. I should have done it 15 years ago when we re-roofed the place.
I've also got some hi intensity lighting I'm going to get mounted one of these days along with a pretty good size exhaust fan and louver set up I've had laying around.
Basically the old shop will be getting turned into the paint booth when the new shop is up.
Good plan Mike... My little garage is almost beyond hope... But when I get to Texas and build my new one, I was wondering how much a couple skylights would help...... Real light seems to be so much less directional dependant then artificial lights....
Oh yeah, it IS almost NOVEMBER, isn't it???? Down here we tend to forget what time of year it is. Our seasons are:
Nice (November to March)
Nicer (April and May)
Too hot to move (June through October)
So we should be getting into the months where we can actually get out and do things in a week or so. :D :D

Retro TV runs programs for a certin time on weekdays, then they get kicked to weekends for a time longer, and then there replaced with diffrent shows.. gunsmoke is on weekends now I think.... as Far as Chester, guess he couldn't do anything, being he got replaced by Festus.Quote:

I use the remote when Speed Channel and one of the others are both running a race! Other then that, afraid I'd just wear it out if I kept flippin' channels looking for something that was actually good!!! If it weren't for Speed Channel, Discovery, and Nat Geo wouldn't be much there........Quote:

So, they rerun it at like 1 AM and I stay up to watch it for about a week, and never once did the T bucket get used in any episode. :mad: But the acting and plots were so horrible that I couldn't watch it any more, so after the week I gave up. We must have been very starved for entertainment back then because when I see some of these old shows they were just bad. Now we have REAL entertainment, like "The Girls Next Door!!!" :cool: :) :) :)
Don
1 AM???? Geez, I can't stay up that late to watch anything....Though my first wake up of the night is usually around 2:30 AM:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
As for what's on the tube now.....Well, I'll be out in the garage!!!! Nothing on but the "experts"....
Football
NASCAR
Politics
you name it
Don't know why they bother playing the games, having the race, or running an election.... All these alleged "experts" have it all figured out anyway!!!! I sure do get tired of the ********** media telling me what to think all the time... Heck, I'm so old I remember when they were reporters and personal opinions were known as editorials!!!!!!!!
I was in bed by 8:30 last night---course I had been moving STUFF at the old shop all day !!!!loaded pallet rack, oil barrels, blocks ( one 392, 5five 426 hemi, 4 440s, lotsa iron chev, several later ls and ford modular) transmissions, 33 ford frames & Downs bodies(anyone need couple roadsters or a Cabrelay? ) work benches(stacking them outside for anyone who wants some
And to think that we moved back to the home shop because of fuel costs and travel time--costs are down, still been traveling to move out, what did I gain?
Remember when the news was John Cameron Swazy and was sponsered by Timex watches and Walk a mile for a Camel????
It's shaping into a nice Autumn here. Still warm days, which makes it nice to work outside and cool nights in the high 30's and low 40's.:rolleyes:
Snow is fun to visit, but hard to live through for a whole winter. Sun is nice too, but hard to work in when really hot!
Dave we put skylights in the garage when we rebuilt it, and insulated it as well. It keeps it cool and bright in the summer, and somewhat warm and bright in the winter. They are the opening variety of skylight, but to be honest I've never felt the need to open them! Like you I wish I had more space to move around in, but am just happy to have a place that is dry and out of the elements!:)
well you could just wait for the latest copy of girls gone wild to come in the mail btw did you know bob spelled backwards is bob.... LOL TED
Oh yes. The fabulous boob tube. Reality TV has pretty well ruined it for me. That and all the political crap. I'm not sure I trust any of them with our country's future now. :mad: I like the original CSI (Vegas). Thats about it. Really miss the stuff my sis and I grew up with. Like...Disney movies, Mutal of Omaha Wild Kingdom, and re-runs of Leave it to Beaver. It depresses me to even imagine what my grandchildren will be watching when they're kids.
Yesterday it was 37 degrees. This morning its 63. Must have been a warm front sneak in last night. Need to get back out to the shop b4 father winter comes to visit. Later! :D
Dave G
I like CSI also, the original the best, but I'll watch the others if I'm in the mood...
as for the kids in the future.. arleady, looney tunes and Tom and Jerry is off the air on regular channels.. suggestive themes and violence they say.. this stuff is in there, but kids won't understand it, and focus on the slapstick part that the plot rest's on. this held true for 40 years or so, until now, the govt says it is no good...
but we do get Leave it to Beaver on RTN.. got to rent the cartoons tho
Dont forget about Festus, Dave. Sorry to hear about the snow. It was 37 yesterday morning and that felt a lot colder than I'm ready for.Quote:

dave , since you will be new to texas let me bring you up to date on shops here.
metal building tend to rain inside here a lot . no skylites in my new one . save yourself a lot of headaches and have it spray foamed. sooner or later the screws will start to leak. roll insulation gets brittle after a while plus will fill up with water when the leaks start. my old shop had skylites and no insulation. on certain days it would rain inside all day. my new shop i put up 10 years ago has roll insulation. if i could i would tear it out and foam it.
