Well you could say 50/50...I take of the mailbox and she gets the mail.

62F sun cloud mix with gusty winds.

Rain wind fog start the day by noon got couple small projects done outside.
Even the car wash prices are $14 for basic.
TSC call said my 2-50lbs bags of sunflower seed has arrive,bag was $21.99 now $29.99.

[Thomas]

Hope all went well Roy.

Hope your feeling much better PJ.

I’ve never gotten anything from a class action lawsuit more than a $1 off your next order, while the shysters made millions.

You need better lawyers!

 

[wngsprd]

75 and sunshine, finally.
Have my five day follow up visit to eye surgeon today. I’m loving the new found vision and I can’t wait to get the right eye done.

Good news, indeed!

 

[sodamo]

That’s good news, Randy. My appointment is Friday.

 

[rswyan]

63F and partly cloudy @ 21:00, heading down to a low of 59F overnight. Pretty tired, think I will probably sleep good tonight.

Did not get any feeders filled ... but the deer were back there waiting on me nonetheless:

Did get the aluminum hauled to the recycler and dropped off. Glad to have that out of the van. Worked out better than I expected: did not think I had that much weight but ended up getting $45 for it, so it was worth it to swing while I was out anyways.

Also got the orders picked up from Tractor Supply and Menards.

After I got home I went over to the barn and got the tow-behind spreader out and spread 25 bags (1000 lbs) of pelletized lime on the front lawn and on the side and back lawns, down here around the house. So that task is completed for the year.

Woman got her purple tulips dug up and replanted while I was doing that (along with making dinner) and then headed over to the neighbor's to get a haircut.

After I finished spreading the lime, I hoooked up the core aerator and started on the east side of the house. Got that maybe 50% done before I knocked off for the day.

Hopefully will be able to finish that up before the rain arrives tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

You need better lawyers!

No, I needed worse lawyers. The good ones know how to keep it all.

Drove 1.5 hrs each way to WV to attend a gospel meeting held by an old friend of mine I’ve known since high school. Was good to hear him again and chat with him. And met the new preacher at that church who is also from my home county in Ohio. Was like a reunion.

44F cloudy winds increasing.

Been good day...hole dug 3" down for mailbox post...iron bar post hole digger were the weapons even welded L bracket 1/4"x 4"x18" fasten to mailbox once it arrives and solar light for the top install just need reflectorsfor post and reflector tape for mailbox.
Finally got the security light fix made new bracket and relocated it so the snow rake would hit again.

Mrs. just inform dinner in 15 mins. so I better scoot...feet up kinda night.

Enjoy your evening all.

3" ??? must be some hard dirt.

Helogabals, I'm serious, I don't have much money, but if there's a way to get that baby born and over here, I would baby sit it for some years for the mom, or forever.

Ken, glad your son finished the competition.

Mostly, so your "regular riding" is faster than other peoples' racing? congrats! I-35 sucks.

Wifey made chocolate chip cookies, I'm partaking.

I bought some asparagus seeds. Soaked them in a jar of water for a few days, then planted them into the little "pucks" of peat moss they sell to start seeds. They are growing. Almost 2" tall, but the stalk is not much thicker than a human hair. Oldest daughter is taking care of them. She transplanted some small zucchini plants to the garden, she started that way. Why do I keep forgetting 2 "c's" in zucchini?

Eric, hope you get some good weather soon. Wagtail is already having fall/autumn weather. Just for fun, I opened my Google Earth Pro and did a line from roughly in the middle of Britain to Wellington NZ....great circle navigation of the globe. 11,611 miles. You two are about as far apart as can be had here on this good planet. The line went almost directly over the north pole, far eastern Russia, over the Sakhalin peninsula, then down across the Pacific all the way to Oz land. I'm guessing the commercial airliners take a different route, to avoid getting shot down. I can't imagine the time the voyage took on a tall masted sailing vessel. I love maps.

I hear my son in the bedroom griping about our internet being slow tonight....making him lose his games. I saw a T-shirt for a young boy that says, "I paused my video game to spend time with you right here right now". I need to get him one.

I brought home an old fancy leather shoulder strap, that went to who knows what, and I rigged it to my weedeater. It is a multi-tool Shindaiwa, that is about 20 years old. It has served me fantastic. Had to put a pump diaphragm and new fuel line on it a few years ago. I also have a pole saw, and hedge trimmer attachment for it. The casting where you put the attachment end in, to mate it up with the engine half, was not properly "pinching" the lower section. I took it apart, and trimmed about .020 off of the slit, to allow the bolt to close the diameter smaller. Wallah! It works.

RNG, glad you made it home safely. Hope your dirt work goes without huge rocks.

Gas here dropped again $3.45/gallon, diesel $4.45/gallon. Not sure if taxes have been relaxed or not. It's a price war between 2 big stations near each other.

I'm feeling more upbeat about the possible job. They have made concessions to make it more lucrative benefits wise. Pay is roughly the same. I would greatly miss my machine shop, but would get to learn some new 3D printing technologies...and that is the dilemma.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Good news Randy, hope the best for Dave Sodamo too.

Prayers for our team, our countries, and for peace in Ukraine.

Helogabals, I'm serious, I don't have much money, but if there's a way to get that baby born and over here, I would baby sit it for some years for the mom, or forever.

I’d be glad to take care of the baby when you need time off, if it happens.

I wish Putin's dictatorship could be aborted. I hate this war.

The bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes are really beautiful right now. This photo from 12 years ago popped up in my FB feed. It is when my 16yo was 4.

They grow up too fast...

 

[Wagtail]

Good morning/afternoon. Still 'extreme' Autumn temperatures here with a low of 3.4C and a present high of 25.8C. Calm and cloudless but everything is green on this side of Tassie.

I've been into town for mail and weekly groceries. Should return to town this arvo to erect a few more signs, but not like the frenzy of the initial two days.

I'm looking forward to Maundy Thursday and the rest of the Easter weekend.

Take care all!

Good evening all. 73ºF for the start, overcast, windy. Windy day today, overcast to mostly cloudy, and high temp was 78ºF, DP 66ºF.

I wish we could end Abortion. It kills more year after year than all wars combined.

 

[Helogabals]

Helogabals, I'm serious, I don't have much money, but if there's a way to get that baby born and over here, I would baby sit it for some years for the mom, or forever.

Really appreciate this

I haven't talked directly with her, only my sis has.
I have at that village my own apartment, not very big and fancy, just nice cosy "summer house" with all modern days goodies. With central heating, it's habitable at winter either. I have offered that for her convenience, she can stay with her kids whatever time she needs.

My sis already have told her that her husband already has fallen at war and this kid can be his legacy... Maybe that sounds little pathetic, but we are thinking that way

She says she have one small kid already and cant handle them both

But still, foster care is better than abort


Guys please get me right. I am pro-life. For that woman it's not about money. At least I think, I have made it that way very clear. If she needs any material support, we can provide. She just have to have a will to live.

She now is in emotions. Any of us would be emotional just escaped from war with one kid on hands and partner killed. Now she is safe and sound. Lets see what will come out. Let her calm down and have second thoughts.

46° right now...high about 60 and some rain.

Cardiologist visit went OK...my heart function has improved considerably since the hospital stay last October...good news. Angina is still a problem and I should be getting a prescription to prevent it, rather then react. I hate taking another pill, but that's the price of old age, I reckon.

Working from home, but I also need to load the all season tires in the bed of the Tacoma. The truck will be going in the shop tomorrow morning for the tire swapping and some routine maintenance

Since my back isn't so good, I'll take the lazy man's way out...put the pallet forks on the loader, roll the tires on the forks, then roll them in the bed

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, low temp 42 and going to a high of 43°F Wind W 3 mph. Periods of rain with T-storms developing this afternoon and evening. The cats will love those. NOT!

There were 5 tractor buckets of bark and cat poop in the basement. I dumped the first bucket on snow, then covered it with more snow and every bucket after that got covered with snow. After the snow goes away and the flies emerge I will cover the bark with D-earth and that should take care of the flies, I hope. The field was too wet to take it back where I wanted it.

Nothing doing for today, I'll conserve energy.

Roy, work smarter not harder.

Have a safe day all
