Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Was a nice day today 70 degrees most of the late morning and afternoon. My wife was off babysitting my 2 grandsons, 3 yrs. and 7 months, so I took a ride to give her a hand and bring her a D&D coffee. After I fead the 3 yr old a chocolate covered donut took him out side to burn off some of the sugar. Gotta love the little ones!

Then over to the lake to start dismantling the dock and check on the construction and found no one there working going to have to give them a little talking to.

Then home to haul a boat to get winterized, play with and feed the dogs and clean the house. Now time to cook dinner for my daughter.

It's mine no it's mine! But I had it first no I did! Just like kids

Drew, mom missed her friend today, she was not working. Mom was very tired but had a good time. She loved the old order Mennonite leather shop that my wife's 1 1/2 cousin runs. They call it a harness shop but they don't make much harness any more. Knife sheaths, holsters, phone cases, ...... He even had a couple old time briefcases that he made that were very pretty. All in an old chicken house that has been used for a harness shop for many years. I love that place. Been going there long before I knew my wife.

A video of dirt, sounds good, better than some on youtube.

Have a good night all. Ed

I did some more grade work on the building spot, want pictures of the dirt?

Ed, sounds like the last buggy whip shop in town...bet it smells good in there.
She might need to switch to quilts or add them along a big wall.

More wheel painting tomorrow but I got three out of four done today.
Lot of blue tape. I put the fronts on very gently to make sure they cleared and they did.
Paint has to harden longer before I tighten down the lug nuts.

Good evening all. 55F this morning, high thin clouds, very light breeze. Temp warmed to 81F, brisk breeze from south, sky cleared and humidity did not climb much. Friday will have chance of showers, need rain, less than 1/2 in of rain since august . Yesterday, Men's mtg, bike ride, finished backyard mowing. Today spent most of day with wife. We have the thermostat wars much like you all are talking about, she is in a blanket, and I am wearing t-shirt and shorts

. . ., want pictures of the dirt?

Dirt is good. Without dirt there would be no need for tractors.

57 right now...high in the low 60's today.

Heading to CT this morning for a meeting, which is why I'm up so early...going to be a long day, I think.

Good morning, we had a real soaker yesterday, the sort of day when a couple of hours outside with the brushcutter when the rain first started was more than enough to look forward to doing a bit of paperwork inside.

At least I almost got on top of the rushes I have been trying to hack back all year, much easier now they are knee high instead of chest high. With a bit of winter dieback I should be able to see and remove the worst of the rocks and old bricks below and then hopefully get on there with the tractor next year.

How about a video of the dirt?

Sure, maybe PJ will crank up his new amp and play "Shovels and Dirt" for the soundtrack ?

Good morning all, 45 this morning headed to 76 and sunny. Need to mow today and hope to get it done. Other than that ???????

Drew, up here in the Mennonite community quilts are everywhere and David has every wall and everywhere else covered with something and then something in front of it. The buggy shop is a few miles down the road and they build the Mennonite box buggys and restore old buggys. A while back the did some work on the buggy that John D Rockefeller drove to work. They are kin to my wife too, of course they all are.

Have a great day Ed

49F stars are bright mid 60's for high w/blue sky.

Friday :dance1: looking forward to being outside the next couple of days doing what ever.

Enjoy the day all.

Coffee is done brewing. 36° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 71° with mostly sunny skies. Pond is ready for the leaves to fall. While working on pond I am upgrading the lights to LED. Still have a couple to do. Neighborhood retires are getting together for lunch today. Should be lots of stories.
Randy, a video will be good. We do need background music with it.
Good Morning All.

 

[Buppies]

Thomas do not believe the long range CFS forecast it is flawed. Cold will rule the day mid late December thru all of January. Furry mittens will be the order of the day I'm afraid for your neck of the woods.

 

[Buppies]

I see enough dirt almost every day I just do not think a video will do it the real justice it deserves. If you Randy promise to play the Hobbit by Ten Years After or Toad by Cream you may entice me to watch

I might have to get wife and visit the buggy shop. A couple hour ride for us I'd say

Good morning all.

41 and shooting for a high of 64 today and sunny.

Got all the repairs done on the Jeep yesterday. Brakes all the way around with new calipers and wheel cylinders. New rotors and drums. New shocks on all 4 corners and 5 new tires with rims. Total cost including labour= $4100.oo
We also got all 5 tires in the back so now I don't have to waste most of today driving all the way back down there to pick up the tires with my trailer.

Eric Salop- my daughter-in-law comes from Sheffield and told me about Derwent dam.

 

[daugen]

Bill, wow, new Jeep, or it must ride like one now. :thumbsup: Picture?

There was always something about the smell of a shoe repair shop. All that leather, the conditioning oils. A real harness shop
must smell even better, a deep rich smell that promises the softness of hand of a fine British cow.

Funny that with the exception of slathering cow horns all over the interior leather, the American auto industry hasn't made any marketing
push for American leather. We seem to have no tradition, at least currently marketed. No Corinthian leather here.
Spain, Italy and England are known for leather, even Sweden. I wonder why we don't have good Texas leather in our trucks????
And interestingly, I don't think of Germany when it comes to nice leather either. Nor France. And certainly not Russia or China.

Now here's an opportunity for US cattlemen. I'm ready to sit on your product. :thumbsup:
Actually I think that's where some of my belts come from.

Another beautiful day here, cool in the morning in high forties, then high seventies today and for the next three days. Then rain comes and the temps drop.
So I have four days to get all my painting done.
Ding Ding Ding Eastern painting alert If you didn't get it done yet, you'd better get moving...
Now what have you been putting off?
No you may not put up Christmas lights yet. Though gosh I saw one neighbor had some new lights by their door.
Talk about rushing the season. Perhaps they just love
those lights.

44 going to 76...gonna be a nice one.

Great dog pic, DABSGT. Is that a blue Frisbee?

Was bow hunting in SE Virginia yesterday. Can't remember a time when I had deer under my tree for 3 solid hours like yesterday. One 5 pointer, mostly does and fawns. Also can't remember staying so still for such a long time. Squirrels were everywhere and in acorn frenzy. Later met the rep for the solar energy project and walked an area that needs their attention. Then did some maintenance and painted some purple stripes on trees on a section recently opened up on the rear of the property. Peanuts and cotton were being harvested nearby, and lots of tractors around.

Kyle, hope you get a chance to fish somewhere. I had similar weather keep us in the inlet rather than going out in the bay, and we caught a mess of fish.

Randy, congrats on the building start. Just looked at some pics I took of the little barn addition I built last year, and today is the anniversary that my son and I broke ground.

Before & After?

Well, It is a little late for before, all the cinders and ashes are gone.
A little warmer today, nice and sunny. Pretty weekend weather coming as well, that’s good, gotta drive over to Front Royal tomorrow to watch our oldest grandson play football. I hope the leaf peepers aren’t too plentiful.

I see enough dirt almost every day I just do not think a video will do it the real justice it deserves. If you Randy promise to play the Hobbit by Ten Years After or Toad by Cream you may entice me to watch

I saw Ten Years After at UOP in 1972, outdoor concert with Tower Of Power and Wild Turkey, the wind made it near impossible to get a clear note. Then a fight between Hell痴 Angels, The Flying Skulls and 2-3 other biker gangs broke out, shooting started and 2-3 innocent people ended up dead. Ironically they had just played I Want To Change The World.
