Good afternoon all. 40F this morning cloudy with light intermittent sprinkles. Increasing chance of rain today with high forecast to be 47F. No ride today, streets are not drying out.

Hi David of the moss, good to hear from you! 13ｰ, going into the 40's today, got to 28ｰ yesterday.

Good to see you too Randy of the Seashore! Glad you are well!

It is warm in the house due to the wood stove cranking in the basement, and it is sunny outside, and last week I was at the beach in the DR, so occasionally I step out to walk the dog (I'm working from home today) without my coat and RAPIDLY I correct that error!!!

Part of me wants to be out there with my chainsaws as there is no mud, the tractor can go everywhere easily, and the chaps, etc. would not be so freaking hot and sweaty... LOL...

Maybe this weekend... I'm burning wood at a ferocious pace...
Be well,

David

David/MFW, glad to hear things are going so well. A week on the beach sounds pretty nice right now...
i hope your rum swizzles were happily swizzling

BMW turns lasers into lights and shows a head-up display motorcycle helmet | Autoweek
Kev, be the first in your club to have real lasers on your BMW bike...

moved a bunch of sand and ABC stone with the tractor, and then just was going to fiddle with the hand stone rake. Half an hour later my fiddling had done me in but it sure looked better. I ran the water roller for over an hour trying to repair the truck ruts. Some parts need more drying. Back at them tomorrow hopefully before it rains again. Though first a gutter guy is coming at 8am to give me a price on putting gutters on my new shed and also on the ends of the barn shed roofs. Since the whole area is so torn up now, good time to lay some water pipe and run the gutter water underground to the rear or side ditch. I'm going to add valving to the downspouts on the barn to allow me to fill up several water barrels and recycle some water for the gardens and trees next year. I already have the barrels, a 12V pump off a boat and a battery and I'll be ready to pump the water at 3gpm instead of just gravity pressure. That's the plan...

Good Evening! 44F @ 6:15PM. Rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers overnight. Low 43F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch.

The Davis rain gauge continues to report at about 10X actual rainfall. Very amusing when comparing to nearby gauges, but I haven't the foggiest idea what to do about it.

Been feeding the wood stove with termite riddled splits and it burns real nice. Great feeling to fry those little suckers, but I'd hate to see any get loose in the house. :laughing:

No lasers for me, Drew, especially if they come from BMW and are anywhere near my eyes. I can just see the recall notice now: "Please stop using your laser HUD helmet immediately and return it to your dealer. There have been reports of blinded riders, inadvertent cheek scarring, and unexplained spontaneous brush fires. At this time we have no repair or replacement available, but we'll keep your money until we come up with some more excuses."

Glad to hear so many of you are enjoying good news, even if some of it involves anesthesia. MFW, it does indeed sound like you found a good 'un.

I'm sorry, but I can't help thinking about "fricken sharks with laser beams". ��

Here ya go:
48" Ditch Bank Flail Mower AGL125 - Value Leader Implements

Yea, shipping more than a postage stamp, but almost reasonable - $300 via FedEx. I will pu in town. Shipping cost is always a big part of a purchase decision for me. I haven't found a new flail locally for less than $3K+ and I think that is before shipping and then another 4% excise tax.

David, you are a lucky man and it is truly great to hear you having such a good time, although I must confess with your last post I got a little envious. It is fantastic that you have a lovey wife, honeymoon, time with the kids and so much to look forward to, but then you go and reveal you also have no mud, the tractor can go everywhere easily.

I am about to go walking around the fields and no doubt, after yet another night of rain, I will be slipping, sliding and squelching everywhere in the brown stuff, like I did yesterday and countless days before that. The Iseki is now too afraid of sinking down to her belly to leave the hard tracks. My eyes are normally blue, but if I looked in the mirror, I fear there would be a tinge of green. Tractor opportunity envy is a terrible, terrible thing.
