@Yvonne G you have been busy!! You're going to sleep good tonight!

My body doesn't quite know what to make of it. Instead of a nice nap after lunch, I went back outside, built the little fence and took two wheelbarrow loads of cement stepping stones out back to the 'pile.'

 

[Yvonne G]

operation went fine back home all good

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

@Jacqui - Potentially stupid question: What is a "Lemon Drop Tortoise" and why do you want to raise one? I tried to google lemon drop tortoise and got no info.

***Yvonne turns away from the computer and chuckles***

A while back Will was making fun of all the designer names people were giving unorthodox-looking tortoises. About that time I was bragging about the yellowfoot eggs in my incubator almost ready to hatch. Will then gave them (the YF) the designer name - lemon drop tortoises. And because Jacqui was eager to have one, she changed the words under her username.

Lol it is kinda a joke. Yellowfoot tortoise are over looked by many. Will decided if they had cool names for their colors, they would be more popular. Thus he called them lemon drops.

I hate it when my son-in-law comes over here to do a job for me and doesn't bring his own tools. Last time he was here he used my cordless drill and he always re-adjusts the settings. I'm a total babe in the woods about tools, and don't have the least idea how to put it back to where it was. It's way too strong for me at this setting and the torque has made my arm and wrist feel quite painful now. I'm even feeling it in my shoulder. Gripe, gripe, buzz, grumble.

*hands Yvonne a plate containing a variety of cheeses to go with her whine*

Aaaaahhhh... I see (said the blind man).

LOL! Does that make my desert tort a brownish/green drop? Wait that doesn't sound good....

m-m-m-m-m...Thank you , Jacqui, however, my wrist, arm and shoulder still ache!

I need to buy a yellow foot group . My sons girlfriends mom has a breeding pair . She told me next time she lays she'll call me to pickup the eggs . How often do yellows lay ? I know my Sally will lay almost every three months . My red will lay four eggs two times a year . They never do any good . As far as the reds go . I don't even try doing anything with the sulcata eggs . Besides the three little ones that hatched last year .

 

[Yvonne G]

I've gotten only one clutch per female per year. I don't know if that's the norm or not.

Post a photo of the drill, I'll tell you how to change it (usually pretty simple, what could possibly go wrong?)

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh, bother.

*** Yvonne throws down her pencil and strains to pull her tired old body up out of the chair.***

I'll go get it. Be right back.

At your leisure would've been fine, but now works too. LOL!

So my dryer stopped drying. It's heating up, but moisture doesn't appear to be leaving the machine. I pulled it out and pulled off the metal tube and stuck my hand into the back of the machine and down into the wall and can't find anything clogging it. Anyone know anything about these stupid things?

 

[mike taylor]

You should see numbers 1/ 2 on the top . 1 should be fast 2 should be slow with more torque . On the front right above where you put a drill bit there should be number 1_24 . There also should be a picture of a drill bit . If it's set on the drill bit it will not slip and try to rip your arm off . If you turn it to a number the clutch in the drill will slip before it rips your arm off .

It's so strong at this setting that my wrist jerks back and forth trying to keep the drill from spinning my arm like the exorcist's girl's head:

 

[Yvonne G]

I guess I probably should have taken a picture of the top too, but I'm not going back out there again.

I'll look at the numbers and the picture of the drill bit tomorrow and give it try. Thanks.

I'm no expert, but that sounds weird. If it's warming up, that means (or at least implies) that your motor and heating element are working as hot air is entering the machine, but if there's no build up in the air vent hose or the lint trap, then maybe it's your drum? Is the drum turning?

See the round circle with the numbers on it (1....5....10....15....20)? There should be a little arrow at the top of your drill that points at the number ring, make it point at a lower number by turning the ring and you should be fine. Whatever number the arrow is pointing at is your torque setting.

That was my thought too.

Gotta go do my evening chores. See you all a little later, or maybe tomorrow.
