[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 37° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 62° with mostly sunny skies. Dentist visit went well. Got some more weeds pulled. Back at it today. Lawn needs cutting. May wait until tomorrow.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

well good morning little Yellow Bird and you too Ron.

going to be a nice day here for next few days at least, low 40's out now going up to high 60's in sunshine.

within two hours of submitting my church reopening protocol to the group, it was approved with thanks and sent out to most of church.
Hopefully Memorial Day will be our first opening and despite distancing, no socializing, no shaking hands, etc etc, we hope to make a celebratory party
out of it. Once we get back to inside worship we will really focus on technology, hybrid meetings, etc. There are several folks from far away, including a good friend of
mine in Berlin, that have found Zoom to be super helpful. I don't like it but whatever works and for sure better than nothing. Part of our new normal.

am getting a little depressed over this shoulder. Two weeks later sitting here, pain is throbbing away in shoulder, just taking forever to heal.
No more pain pills but sure see the attraction... and now my right shoulder hurts a little from overuse favoring it.
We really don't heal as fast as we used to...

might go out and look at riding mowers today. Very little on Craigs List.
Just doesn't seem to be a good time to buy much of anything, shortages and price increases all over the place.
ah yes, Covid Excuse # 139...

Morning all! 38 here going to a windy 58.
Tried to move some soil with the tractor and promptly sunk into the ground. Ended up making some deep ruts that will need to be taken care of if and when the ground dries out.
Things are greening up around here but my lawn is toast from winter damage,grubs and the wetness. Not sure what we will have to do to bring it back.
Price of pellets is going up as fast as gasoline and diesel fuel. I ordered 3 tons at $20 per more than last year a while ago so am happy with that. Should be delivered next week.
Medically my wife and I are stable right now. I had another camera check the other day and am waiting for results from the doctor.
My other summer projects are on hold till these crazy prices come back to some kind of normal.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

IMHO the incentive is already out there. Public Health.
It’s personal choice to get the vaccine, I respect that. Even more so if there is a valid medical reason not to.

It’s also a personal choice to accept all the benefits that have been made available, stimulus checks, PPE, unemployment plus ups, non eviction protection, tax benefits, etc, etc. if you personally chose to accept one of those then that choice should include getting the vax unless a valid medical exception. Maybe next year the IRS can have a validation question.

One thing that ticks me off is the media. Almost nightly our news will interview someone choosing not to get vaccinated. One of the latest: “Well, I’m over 40 years old, only gotten the flu twice my whole life. So I’m pretty healthy. I don’t see a need to get vaccinated” end of interview.
Never does the interviewer ask about protection of other people.

NOTE - And if ANYONE choses to make this into a political comment vs health safety I definitely will not respond.

Definitely

It's already happening here in Shasta County. I heard on the news today that you got a $25 gift certificate if you got your shot. That's tragic when you stop to think that back in March, people were paying a hundred times that to skip to the head of the line. Maybe it's time we just stepped back and let Darwin take the lead...

Or better yet refusal of getting an available shot means denial of medical support for Covid 19.

Good morning, low 35, high 63°F. Wind N 6 mph. Sunny! Finally we get some decent temperatures.

Off today to check out another hospice, this one in Huntsville, ON. Huntsville is about 40 minutes South of me.
When we get back from there I WILL be cutting the grass.

I charged up my camera batteries yesterday in preparation for a summer of trucking and shooting.

Covid shots wont be available up here until at least September is what the pharmacist told me the last time I asked. If I manage to score one on the road, then I will go for it.

I saw that yellow bird and thought of this:

Have a safe day all

Good Morning
It’s 42 with a high of 64 coming.
Clear skies for the day as well.

Yesterday was a good day, spent time with grandson, rode the trials bike, visited with old friend that is doing renovations to son’s house as well as getting some finishing done on the speaker in progress. Never got the mulch, as the beds weren’t ready yet.

Today I get to spend some quality time with FAA inspectors auditing my records. Once that’s over, I’ll get a load of mulch and make some more progress on the speaker.

Audits, gotta love them. Just about as much as a root canal.

finished my research. Only two makers of riding garden tractors available locally with power steering are Simplicity and John Deere.
JD is 500 more at list, has longer warranty and Kawasaki engine. Simplicity Broadmor has Vanguard engine
For my purposes which is only grass mowing just don't need a lot of hp but need cruise control and power steering.
Off to Pipersville L&G/Kubota and Littles/JD dealer in Silverdale. Will drive right past Popgadget's home on the way and will wave.
Unfortunately Kubota's small mowers don't have power steering option. BX or 1 Series JD just too large and want gasoline for this.

I'm going to go in cold and see what kind of service I get.

this is all in the name of necessary upcoming physical therapy on my shoulder.
Maybe I can get an RX for a JD X390...
