Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

Good EXTREMELY BELATED Good Morning!!!!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

Forsythia is blooming, daffies are fading. And more importantly today is the second anniversary of my buying my Case 430!!!!!!!

tax season has been very busy. I have not really had much interest in going into a screen after staring at screens for hours on end, but I figured today was an important enough milestone to check back in .

we have managed over the last week to scratch out some time to do some “us” work on the woodlot. Our neighbor wanted a key to our hat to access the back of his property, !Ra is adamantly opposed to giving up keys… so we are building some new rustic wattle fencing and I will relocate one gate and build another so our lot is (reasonably) secure but neighbor has unrestricted access

Having the mini-ex was a YUUGE help with sinking the logs for the new gateposts. The metal gate will be relocated to the right, and I will build two wooden gates to go to the left.

i have not read any posts on the thread since I last posted almost two weeks ago, and I am heading for the shower and probably won’t catch up for a while, but I just wanted to let you all know I am still around and look forward to the end of tax season

stay well, all!

Good (Maundy Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 12.3C and it's presently 20.6C, clear & calm.

Yesterday's town-trip started with getting "Hollywood Parking" outside of the Post Office, which was great as a mysterious case of wine had arrived for collection. I then attended the monthly coffee 'catch-up' with local veterans followed by my weekly grocery shopping.

The arvo was taken up with assisting a Mate take down a couple of State election 'vote for me' signs. I then swung by the Church Hall to inspect how my temporary water pipe repair was going... it's 'sort of' holding; dribbling with a bulge on the tape. We definitely need a plumber to repair.

Hopefully today I can get at mowing around the house this arvo, followed by an evening (1900) Maundy Thursday service at my Church.

That's about it, take care all.

Two_bit one of the talking heads noted there were no protection pillars in the Baltimore bridge.

Have not heard that specifically but in a video someone posted, I think maybe Lou,there were no indications of any protections for the supports.

Already hearing 'conspiracy theories' so will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Hope you have good weather for your bike trip! Enjoy!

Poured first cup of coffee. 21° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 48° with plenty of sunshine. Had to repair 2 of my bird feeders. Deer are using them for head rest while trying to get feed out of feeders. Replaced light weight tubing with 3/4 solid steel rod. Will see if they can bend that. Got started on wire cleanup. Now have a clear area to walk without tripping on wires. Still more todo. But will save that for a rainy day. Grocery shopping this morning. Then back at chipping up pile of limbs.
Not sure I put out the right flavor seed cake.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning.

Good morning, the low is 30 and the high to 37°F. Wind S 8 mph. 60% chance of flurries.
We got enough snow overnight to turn my brown (gravel) driveway white again. It wont stay.

Today is dump/town run day.

I'll stop at the local building supplies place and pick up 6 or 8 patio slabs for the fuel tank.
The hose reel should be in soon as well as the tank.
I will dig a hole with the BH and stuff two 4x4's into it, side by side and dry mix with plenty of water 7 or 8 bags of stone mix cement.

I spent most of yesterday searching for Canadian made prefab garages. They range in price from $15,000.oo and up. The sky is the limit on those things. If I can't have a 20x50' quonset hut, then I will go with a prefab straight walled garage BUT it must have at least 5/12 pitch.

Ron, your Blue Jay looks to be saying what is this sh*t? Looks like it doesn't understand the concept of if it is free shut up and eat.

Have a safe day all
