The Coffee House

[Designer]

How's it coming along? You've been working on the bathroom, right? Or above the bathroom?

Yes, it's a bathroom remodel directly above another bathroom/laundry room. The plumber will arrive next week, and I'm nearly ready, I just have to build the alcoves for the tub and shower, which should take only one day. (LOL) With me doing it, it will take longer.

However; my cruet project is adding a light bar (flashing amber warning lights) to my tractor. Going out into the street in the dark is very nerve-wracking, because the tractor lights are simply forward and backward, with very little light showing to the sides.

Last week I bought one that I have been wanting/needing for years. Yesterday I made a bracket to mount the light on the ROPS, and today I'm going to get power to it. I have purchased the parts to make a 12-volt power point socket and in-line fuse, so simply a matter of figuring out where to mount the thing and fabricate a mounting bracket.

I need to be finished with it today so I can get the cars back into the garage.

Sincerely;

Designer.

Ooh, I want a picture of the tractor! I love tractors. My father had one and I used to love riding around on it when I was a girl. He even let me control the boom sometimes He used it to create an access "road" to the woods behind our house so he could drag up dead trees (again, with the tractor, of course!) for firewood.

I don't know why I was so fascinated with it. It was like a big bug and it had all these moving parts and huge wheels in the back. Sometimes I think I have the soul of an engineer

still on vacation? when you due back?

Never due back. They approved my SS disability in record time. 1 neurosurgeon, 1 orthopedic surgeon and 1 MD showed them my records, and it took 6 months to the day to be approved. No appeals, no interviews, nothing. My back will never improve, and my shoulder hurts all the time. I paid into it for 42 years, so I basically took early retirement, with a little better payout than early retirement.

Not being forced back into the rat race does not equal washed up.

Here's one from a few months ago.

I've owned other tractors, but the photos are all analog. (I know, right?)

So I should find them and scan them.

If everything goes well today, I should be able to get a photo of the light bar.

My back "is" washed up. I can't deny it. But with better living through modern chemistry, and regular exercise, I can still do most everyday things. Albeit with much (much) pain. It's just something you and your mind have to deal with to continue on. One day at a time, mostly.

Sorry to hear about your back, snerd.

Sorry to hear about your back, snerd.

Aw, thanks. I didn't mean to solicit sympathy, though. Everybody dealing with their own problems. We all do what we have to do. I'm happy enough to wake up each day!

If it makes you feel better I didn't give you any sympathy.

If disregarding feelings is what you are after, I am your man!
