    I have machinery with tubeless tires and it’s continually throwing the tires. I was taking them down to the tire shop where they’d charge me $5 to $10 to fix them. I’d take them home and in a few weeks they’d throw the tires again.

    I decided this time, as the chipper’s tires were shot, that I’d try something new…I’d fill the tires with expanding hard foam. I was looking at buying new rims and tires anyway so why not play with the ones I was going to throw away?

    I dusted off an old Engineer trick to get the tire back on the rim, inflated them drilled 3 equidistant holes in the tread and fired a can of the foam into each. Worked like a charm, I have 2 functional tires again for the price of 2 cans of foam (an almost $200 saving) that ain’t gonna be falling apart.

    I also have hardened foam on my feet that’s driving the dog nuts, she’s trying to ‘flea’ it off and huge wads of it that expanded out of the tire and onto our lawn. Next the riding mower tires!

      When I sold Marvin Windows we got a call on a job that the sashes would not close. Went out to the house and believe it or not, sheet rock had not been hung yet so it was easy to identify the problem. The owner had decieded to use spray foam to inulsate around the windows and doors. He had bowed in the jambs and it was as obvious as a hand in front of your face, but called us for a warranty claim.

    Just outside with our GGS, it’s dead dark with a clear sky and we can see the Milky Way. While we were out there a new pack of coyotes on our east side opened up so it’s back to the battle of the pests again.

    10 Smiles brought to you by insomnia !

    1)

    2) Music.

    3) Friends you can call at 2 AM and you know they will be happy to hear from you regardless of being shook from their slumber.

    4) The sweet beauty of simple lyrics.

    “He said,”I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree”
    I was runin’ from some honey bees
    Drip dryin’ in the summer breeze
    After jumpin’ into Calico creek
    I was walkin’ down an old dirt road
    Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
    Man I wish you’d just left me alone
    Cause I was almost home…    ” __Craig Morgan

    5)

    6) The cygnets are beginning their flying lessons.

    7) The air is laden with Autumn.

    8) Naomi Osaka continues to show mad tennis skills and social grace at the US Open. How refreshing after years of Serena Williams’ boorish court side conduct.

    After beating Coco Gauff on center stage Naomi graciously invited Coco to share in the after match interview.

    9) Dawn.

    10) Damien Rice, beating back severe depression every day and getting up to fight another day.

    Sometimes he is simply too beautiful to listen to.

    7 REASONS WHY THE OCEAN IS SO IMPORTANT

    Why is the Ocean so important?: The Ocean is the heart of the planet. Water covers more than two-thirds of the Earth’s surface. Sea plants, like Posidonia, produce 70% of the oxygen we breathe (1), and the deep waters are home to wildlife and some of the biggest creatures on earth. It provides us with food, jobs, life, entertainment, and sailing! Without it, we cannot survive. Why should we care so much about the creatures that live in the ocean? Does it matter if a species disappear? What does that mean for us?

    Afternoon all. I was wiped out after a travel day. Left 109F with 9% humidity for 89F 64% humidity. I’m not sure if I’m cold or not. The initial feeling is like being in a tepid sauna.

    GGS is about all over the gippy guts. Interesting that our old old dog, who was with him since he was a year old, spent the morning sleeping on the bed with him, licking him ‘clean’ every now and then though he did have a bit of a fever and I wonder if she was cooling him down?

    The oldish golden lab/hound mix is curled up on the couch with him now. She’s been with him since he was about two.

    The 40-pound terriorist-spring mix, who’s only been with him for about 3 years, sleeps overwatch on the back of the couch. They make sure someone’s with him whenever he’s not feeling well.

    lilbirdee12’s prayer:

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

    A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Gen. Flynn:

    Prayer to St. Michael

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
    be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
    May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
    and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
    by the power of God,
    thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
    who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
