a little early in the day to think about a chicken fried ribeye steak but sure sounds like a yummy treat.

Anyone been to the Cabernet Grill in Fredericksburg TX?

grey and damp morning. C'mon Mr Sun

No, but did drive thru Fredericksburg Tx once.

Not mowing the pretty flowers the last time cost me, extremely high grass. And the places I did mow the flowers the last time, they still came back and bloomed again.

Before buying my last tractor I looked at kioti and the white copy bobcat. I didn’t like their backhoe connection. One kioti dealer I went to has since gone out of business. The local New Holland started selling kioto back then also, I noticed yesterday their New Holland sign is covered over. No new tractors on their lot.

Nice pic Ron!!!

37°F and clear skies with some thick patchy fog this morning, going up to 64° today. Looks like nice weather for the rest of the week, albeit about 10° cooler than normal. I'm OK with that. It seems we get to have an actual Spring this year.

The supplies for the fence were delivered on Friday. Wife says they showed up about 08:00 this morning. The reworked quote was much better than I anticipated, coming in about $2-3K less than I expected. He's also throwing in the additional 4' gate at no charge. This guy may be redeeming himself.

Wifey and I went to new tax preparer Saturday morning to sign forms. Not sure I'd be interested in using them again next year. They took entirely too long to get this done (7-ish weeks), and they weren't the friendliest people I've ever met. We had lunch in Fairview Heights after that, and made a couple of other stops before heading home. On-and-off rain kept us inside the rest of the day.

We got more rain overnight and into Sunday morning, but the heavier stuff missed us. All we got out of it most of the day was a lot of wind.

We never considered a Deere when we were looking, BEF. I know a few people who have had a fair amount of trouble with their newer CUTs, including The Wife's uncle. So, we looked elsewhere. She did want to look at Kubota, until she saw how proud they are of their tractors. We also had the same experience with a Kubota dealer that you had with JD; two guys stood inside and stared while I perused the lot, but never came out. MF, NH, Mahindra, and LS dealers were much friendlier. In the end, LS won us over. Almost five years later, still no regrets.

Great sunrise pic, Ron.

Wife was having some issues with slow internet Saturday, RNG. She looked at me and asked when the Starlink would be available here. Last I looked they only said mid- to late 2021 for us.

good news about fence PJ, maybe a little left over for something else fence related, you know, like a guitar...

fine looking radish Ken.

Been there. Stayed at Lady Bird Johnson RV Park. Kind of across street from the grill. Do not premember what we had to eat.

I got the same estimate when I signed up for StarLink, Paul. Looking at the coverage map explains why the service isn't available here yet. There are lots of birds up there, but a whole lot of have yet to reach their intended orbits. The result is gaps in coverage that move across the ground. That said, since I installed monitoring software, the logs are showing that HughesNet stops working at least twice a day, and as many as a half dozen or more. The new alarm system fails over to a cellular connection when that happens, and logs those events as well. I thought the internet was supposed to be as reliable as any other utility by now. Oops, maybe it is. Public Safety Power Shutoffs will be starting again any day...

Good Morning! 65˚F cloudy NE light wind.
A quick grocery shopping this morning for the "Menu" in our new FOK meal planner subscription and app. some of the meals and snacks this week include:
Aloo Gobi
warm spinach salad
curry spiced popcorn
cincinnati chili
Chocolate berry bites
Layered Greek Bean dip
Lemony asparagus stir fry over rice
Fruit beer float
I't almost like eating on a Holistic cruise with all new different plant based meals, so far very good. We went ahead and sign up for a year of menus since this week it was 25%off. We opted out of the breakfast menus. The grocery list for the week is a real time saver. They come out with next weeks menu and shopping list on Thursdays for the next week. This weeks grocery bill was $70.

Hand&Foot quarterly tournament continues tonight. We had about 40 masked people show up. Last week I was rushed on the last hand because my phone kept giving severe weather alerts of impending damaging hail, and my pick-up was parked outside, but still managed 4 wins out of 5 games.

Kyle we still have signs on the store doors in town that mask are mandatory and there is about 98% compliance. In Taylor HEB there were no signs about mask and about 75% still wore mask.

I got back from the PO at about 12:30 and little droplets of water hitting the windshield. Well the 60% prediction of rain just became 100% and it is pounding down. I guess the grass cutting will have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday. Grass will be too wet tomorrow and there is rain forecast for tomorrow, too.

TXDon- I don't think $70 would cover much here, maybe 2 bags of groceries if we didn't buy anything expensive :-(

68°F and .36 inches rain

Something different today. 1st time since pandemic we will host a face to face Happy Hour here at the house this afternoon. All participants are fully vaccinated. Will also have a Zoom link for the non island folks.
I will grill some marinated chicken tenders, Sophie made a potato salad and guests will be bringing stuff.

I’ll try for a bit of time on the project before. Yesterday I got the wire run for the meter box to circuit panel and from main panel to meter box but haven’t made the live connections yet. That #4 wire sure seems stiffer than it used to be.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
