Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

my trip to rv repair shop went very well.
I was in and out in half an hour.
Tech realized that he had put selector
handle back on last time in wrong position, after he had taken it apart and lubed it, which explained everything.
They have a muddy lot from the recent rains, so now I have some cleanup to do, and I'll test all functioning again.
Next week I'll take it back to them to install rear LED auxiliary light strips

pretty wet out, really can't work outside today.

Good morning 43 going to 52 and heavy rain.
Looks like inside work only today.
Picked up dinner curbside last night, quite a few places doing that with either phone or web order.
Looks like for every day of sun we will get 2 rain days for the next week or so. Planting this weekend if the garden drys out enough to dig.

rick, what do you do with the trees after you remove them?

The tall ones get cut into 2 or sometimes 3 sections then set on top of burn piles by one of the tractor / grapples.

45°F and heavy fog this morning, going up to 71° today. Sunshine early should burn off the fog, but more rain and some boomy stuff expected later this afternoon and into the evening.

The rains let up a little earlier than predicted yesterday, so my drive to Carlyle after work was mostly uneventful. Tractor Supply was mostly empty, save for a coupe of employees and one other customer. Got in, got my feed, and got out in a matter of minutes. Was able to get it out to the barn without getting stuck, too, which was really my primary concern regarding the rain.

Got to play with some of the new features added to my Helix guitar processor from the recent firmware update. The one I was most interested in is a model of an old compressor that sounds much smoother on my bass guitar than the one I had been using. I played way too long with that. Wifey had already gone to bed by the time I shut everything down for the night.

That's a great-looking rifle, Eric. One thing I don't have is a nice air rifle. I have a couple of cheapies, but nothing decent.

I admit that I, too, was thinking it might be a Kioti, RNG. I thought you'd given up on Kubota.

I am told that poison ivy should not be burned, because the poison is still 'live' in the smoke. What I WILL say is stay out of the smoke at all costs.

Good morning to all! Low of 46, high of 70 today, again windy. Matter of fact, it was windy all night, just going to get worse by mid-day.

RNG, glad your road trip went well and now you have better insight for what part of the project to tackle next. I had looked at pics of the L47, but could not find any to match up..... mmmm... I must have done something wrong then, because I see the match now!

Drew, glad the RV problem was a simple fix! Hopefully when they do the lights, they will be a little more careful when reassembling it!

Ron, the mulch is still there, kind of protected by the wood border. However, the fountain / pond stopped running yesterday and again this morning. There are a bunch of the small wood chips that got blown into the pond, which clogged up the screen on the pump. Need to get it cleaned up / free of debris.... I hope that most of the loose small stuff has blown away already.

Forecast for next week is predicting record highs in the upper 80s.... way too soon for temps going up that high! Gonna-be a hot summer!

Everyone have a great Friday and start to the weekend!

A rainy 34ºF for today’s low, a drizzly, overcast 38ºF presently; and a anticipate a rainy/rain showery afternoon with high temperature in the mid40ºF’s. A decent day to waste getting my curbside booze pickup. Today I will add a bottle of champagne to the usual list = Wifey’s birthday. I think she’s 38.

Drew- That hat is a Dorfman®. The material is some kind of plastic treated canvas. It’s a pretty decent hat. It will seam leak if I spend time in torrential downpours.

Ted- You are a genius. I have a Mobius keychain video cam (from the “Flying Cuisinart”) with decent optics the I could mount on my hat and/or face shield. It’s a poor man’s GoPro®.

Bruce- Some of the restaurants doing curbside pickup were doing this service before C-19. Some made minor adjustments to their physical plants and many already had online capability. That is weird. I wish there was a local Japanese restaurant nearby. There are a couple of decent Japanese restaurants doing curbside down in the “Big City,” but they are +24 miles away and parking sucks.

BEF and Rick- Nice cleanup projects. It seems that this year I have a decent wind event on almost a weekly basis. My/Our woods are a mess with all the damaged and downed trees.

Eric- I like your PCP And I have been enjoying all the pics and experiences you share.

“… Grass is so long I cannot find dog poop until I step in it.”- RonJH- I do not understand how Brogen knows where I will be stepping long before I actually do. 13 acres and I still step in it. Luckily he prefers to poo on the driveway and I still manage on occasion to leave a Vibram® sole patterned poo waffle.

There is a definite benefit to living in isolated, rural areas to minimize risk for exposure, but once exposed living 24 miles from any hospital or doctor could prove problematic. We do have excellent “911” services. They saved my life 2X.
Rich, BEF, et. al.- I am happy to read that you are able to work form home.

Randy- I hope this med change will help manage the afib.

Don- Thanks for sharing your garden pics.

RNG- Thanks for the link.

I hope that everyone has a decent Friday.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

The L47 does not show hand holds on the back of the FOP and the loader tube end being filled in. That could have changed, but RNG pic matches M62 so far.

r: No DJI Mini yesterday. It did make it to Metro Detroit area yesterday.


Buckeye, clearing with grapple looks good.

.

My mini made it to Memphis. Was due yesterday, now today.

Thanks, the grapple sure makes it quicker and easier. Still need to pick up a bunch of small stuff by hand.

Good morning All. A chilly 40 this morning at dawn with heavy rain. About 2” so fa. Still drizzling at 48. It may not get to 50 today.

Not much on the schedule for today. Curbside pick-up at the butcher shop for some meat if they call to indicate that our order is ready.

I hope everyone stays safe and healthy for the start of the weekend.
