I have kayaked to Cumberland island several times to camp with the wild horses. I find them amazing in that environment. I didn't know you had them in NC.

Good Morning all!
Life is good here at MossFlower Woods (Yes, there are a few trees along the creek so there is still a "woods").
A week ago the GF/Fiancee and I adopted a ~2 year old shepherd/hound mix and named him Rhett. He is a very good dog.
Had the windows open all night and into the morning the last couple days, wonderful!
Need to mow and bush-hog big time. my rental in town the neighbors have been awful to my tenant (and to me) with petty violation reports etc. and that has taken all my free weekends. I still need to start my massive firewood project also.
Lastly we are looking into taking the current modular off the basement, trading it in for a NEW 2 story modular in the spring,so we are doing a bunch of research on that. I suspect there will be thread on here about that whole thing soon...
Work is going very well and all signs are my mojo has returned and my income will soon follow as my sales and commissions rise.
Al I can say is that life is SOOOOOOO much better when somebody loves you...
Sorry I'm not on here often, I'm just busy is all.
Be well my friends,
David

72 this morning and headed to 96 today.
Get together was cancelled yesterday and rescheduled for today. Pool deck was supposed to be painted last week. Guys didn't show up till yesterday so it had to dry for 24 hours. So I started replacing bearings on broken fans. Didn't go too good. I almost got two fans tore apart. Broke a 5/16 ratchet wrench from craftsman. So headed to Sears and show them the wrench. They ask where the rest of the set was. I said on the wall in the shop. Evidently they can't replace just one wrench. They have to replace the whole set. And because the wrench didn't have a part number on it, it is part of a set. I said the set doesn't have a part number any more. That piece of plastic is long gone. I've never seen a wrench have an engraved part number. They couldn't do anything. Walked out and told wife this is why I don't buy craftsman tools anymore. So go to AT&T store for phone upgrades. Upgraded to iPhone 6 from a 4s. All is going well and we are waiting for the phones to sync to iCloud and the store is closing. Their internet was slow and the lady said we could skip it and do the sync when we got home. That was a no go. Now to figure it out today. Glad yesterday is over.
Think I'm going to relax today besides taking care of chickens and moving cows. Well might have to try to figure out how to sync this phone.
MFW glad to here things are looking better.
Drew didn't realize there was wild horses in NC.

79F and mostly sunny @ 10:30 ... high today will be 89F and humid.
Day before yesterday I got the grass/weeds cut down on the southwest corner of the commercial property. Also got the second heavily overgrown hedge cut back and sprayed all the weeds in the cracks in the pavement on the south side with Roundup. After everything dies off I'll hit the cracks with Pramidol to try and keep the weeds from coming back.
Wife came in to help after work ... she spent most of her time picking up trash ... which there is a lot of. Didn't help that previous tenant didn't keep up with his responsibilities to maintain the exterior.
There is low-income government housing right across the street on the south side (aka "The Projects") It's kept up pretty well - grass is always cut, trash mostly picked up - but unfortunately some folks have no care for their general environment or respect for other peoples property. Pretty sad really.
Yesterday I mixed up another two gallons of the regular Roundup and took it in when I went. I think I pretty much got everything sprayed with Roundup that needed it. Next step will be to spray the lawn areas with Trimec to kill off the weeds in the areas that are in grass ... but I need some rain before I can do that.
During the heat of the day I worked on disassembling three 25' wooden racks that they used to store exhaust pipes ... got that about half taken apart. When it's all said and done, I'll wind up with about fifty nice 2 x 4 x 8's and 10 or 20 lbs of bugle head screws. Checked out the 55 gallon drum that is on the second floor ... thankfully it is empty, so getting it out of there won't be too big of a hassle.
Also found out that, based on the main disconnect, the electric service appears to be 600A (two-phase ?) 240V - not 480V three-phase like I thought.
Finished getting the front lawn mowed, worked some more on getting the sidewalks edged, and started cleaning up dirt/sediment that accumulated from runoff on the parking lot and sidewalks.
I also grabbed two of the four rocks that had been placed at corner points on the lawn in the front of the building in a fruitless effort to keep passers through from short-cutting across the grass and loaded them in the truck ... since I noticed that one of them had been moved about 25' from it's original location. These weigh around 60 or 70 lbs at least ... so they aren't real easy to pick up ... but the front of the lower floor of the original building has about 10 large plate glass windows ... given the amount of broken glass in other windows, it's probably best to remove any temptations.
If we go in today, we'll probably work inside since it's going to be warm out. Probably start cleaning the first floor front building.

Here, if I call my supplier for a fuel delivery, it gets added to their normal delivery schedule for when they service this area - so they aren't making a special trip.
Yup, it would be ... we don't seem to have too much problem with that here, but in the area you're in I'd imagine that it could be more of an issue.
LOL ... :thumbsup:I'm afraid the only free fuel I'm scoring is my Folgers 100% Columbian, and for sure, that's not free...

77F @ 8:00 AM. Sun and clouds mixed. High 101F. Winds light and variable.
Nice photos, Gary. Didn't know Art Decco extended to tractors!
wng, hope you got all those tics. Lyme Disease is nothing to fool around with.
Drew, the newer small saws can do 80% of what the bigs saws can and are a whole lot less work. My big'un sits on the shelf most of the time, empty of fuel, but when it does get fired up I usually end up sticking with it for the rest of the day, just to give both of us some exercise!
Good to hear you've turned the corner, MFW. Hope things keep going your way!
Farmer, your story is why they'll probably have to pry my 4S from my cold, dead hands. :laughing:
RS, hope you can find some decent tenants next time around.
Started a valve adjustment on the K-bike and found all of the exhaust valves were tight, one exceptionally so. My dealer has new shims in stock, but also a stack of unmarked ones he'll swap for my old ones for free. So next week I'll take my mics with me and spend some time measuring. While the cover was off I measured all the shims on the bike so I or the next owner won't have to pull them out next time before going for replacements. That's if the deal goes smoothly; little niceties like that tend to disappear when things don't.
I'm also volunteering to help out with my motorcycle club's web site, and yesterday I had another lesson on the Joomla Content Management System that runs it. Trouble is the webmaster has only been at it a year, is self taught, and inherited what's there from someone that's not around any longer. So it was a bit like the blind leading the blind, with me asking lots of questions that got answers like "I'll have to get back to you on that". Both of us are starting to think that some of the workflow enabled email tasks we need to set up can't be done in Joomla anyway, and are starting to wonder if the club shouldn't just hire some professional help to get us onto something more capable. Sheesh, and I retired primarily so I wouldn't have to put up with kind of thing. :confused2: At least it's sit down work inside in the air conditioning. :thumbsup:
Hope everyone enjoys a nice Sunday dinner...

71°F and no rain last 24 hours.
Behind on mowing, but thinking we'll take granddaughter to a local cultural event. The grass will continue to grow.
Be safe
Have a great day

Went out last night at 8pm to mow the field, was much nicer than when I was mowing in the afternoon sun. Had to finish up with the headlights on.
Lunch at Red Lobster today, been awhile since I've been there. brought half of it home for lunch tomorrow.
Been getting things ready to take my son back to college in Arkansas. About time to start playing ole willie, "On the road again".
An old friend who now lives in Cookeville TN was visiting at church this morning. When I was building my house he came over almost every saturday to help me.
.
Another hot one today, and going to get hotter this week.
The discussion of fuel storage made me think of Lbrown59. He always talked about his fuel transfer system he put together. He has not been heard from in a couple yrs on here, wonder what happened to him?
