Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

I finally just got antibiotic for my tooth infection. One advantage of seeing same dentist for many years.

54F and cloudy @ 19:15, heading down to 45F for the overnight low.

Got hopper feeder refilled first thing, then slight change of plans:

Was pretty miserable out (cool, damp, and miserable) and I needed take the 7 lb. bag of sunflower seeds back to Menards (that they mistakenly gave me for 16 lb. bag of safflower seed I actually ordered and paid for) so we headed off up to the Menards in Kent.

Since we were going there anyways I placed an order for another 2.2 cu ft bale of peat moss as we were getting low, another 8-pack of peanut suet, and a new handle for a bow rake.

Swung by TSC on the way up and grabbed a couple of 40 lb bags of 12-12-12.

Once we got to Menards and got things exchanged and loaded up, we walked up front and had a look at an battery-powered electric cultivator that The Woman had expressed an interest in:

View attachment 744657​

She doesn't like using the Stihl FS 66 (as a cultivator or a string trimmer) - claims it is too heavy, hard to start (for her) and it is kind of long, given her short stature.

It was on closeout ("while supplies last") + the 11% rebate knocked about $20 off the cost. It is her birthday tomorrow ... so Happy Birthday Woman !

Deepending on how it works out I might even be tempted to use it myself on occasion ...

After we got home, She ran back out to DG for a birthday card for a friend and to Subway to grab some dinner for us.

I assembled Her new cultivator whilst that was occurring and put the battery on charge.

After dinner I unloaded the car and inquired if she was still interested in giving me a hand in fishing the hawk out. She was not (unusual) ... so I guess that will wait until tomorrow.

Moved the veggie seed starts - which are still pretty small and tender - out of the garage now that the chance of rain has passed for the moment

Activities for tonight might be getting some more seeds planted, but definitely a sheet cake.

Hope everyone had a great Wednesday ...

I just ordered my wife one from Home Depot, she loved it. Supposed to be here Friday. I already have a drill and string trimmer that uses that battery and I have three of them. Thanks!

Good evening all. 58ºF for the start, overcast sky, light breeze. Light to moderate wind, sky mostly overcast all day, fog at times in morning, high temp was 82ºF, DP 69ºF. men's Meeting to start day, then off to bike shop to get gloves(had to be orders) and tune, new rack bag, and Peugeot shifting adjusted. Off to bookstore and lunch, pick bike back up and go home. Nap after unloading truck, then don for day. Testing battery for CPAP, looks like 3 hours to charge fully and at least 2 night on battery.

Alien, hope wifey and you heal up.

Randy, great news on the "gone" tumor.

BEF, hard to get anything done with a kitty on your lap.

RS, let us know how the cultivator works out.

RNG....willing to drill a huge hole (not really) for fast internet....

Rich, sounds like a possible good source of knowledge, and a new friend. I'm "jones-ing" for some flat track. They need to have some more races this time of the year IMO. But what do I know....I'm only a fan. Did you go to the same races that Estenson went to? Seems like Honda and KTM are throwing the big money and support at the 450 class now.

It looks like I might be jumping ship very soon. Going to be hard to do. Mostly for better/cheaper benefits, retirement, 10 minutes time shaved off of each ways' trip. You guys help me end my first sentence of my announcement to management....I'm looking for a word to finish this sentence...give me a serious one, and a funny one if you want. "After 13 ____________ years, with great _______________, I have decided to turn in my notice." Or something like that. I really do like my job, and don't want to burn any bridges....

Prayers for You guys who have sickness/pains, for rains to put out the forest fires, the US of A, and Ukraine.

G'nite those stateside, G'morning down under.

Good early arvo everyone. Cool overnight temp of 6C and currently 14C, fairly calm (although there's a wind warning active) overcast with no rain as of yet (although there's a rain/flooding warning active). Sounds like the BoM is just 'covering their arse'. Still, I'd like a good downpour for my house tank.

Into town at noon for my flu shot.

That's about it. Take care all.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

RNG, what brand of flail did you get?

It's a Betstco, Ted. Maybe it's also called a Value Leader, as that's what the one I have now is called and it's from the same company.

77" Cut Heavy Duty Hydraulic Offset Flail Mower, FH-EFGCH195KIT

 

[RedNeckGeek]

"After 13 ____________ years, with great _______________, I have decided to turn in my notice."

After 13 of my most miserable, frustrating, and unrewarded years, with great relief, I have decided to turn in my notice.

OR

After 13 wonderful years, with the greatest people, I have decided to turn in my notice.

OR

After much thought and prayer, weighing work and family, reward and sacrifice, I've made the difficult decision to seek other opportunities and turn in my notice.

OR (in the immortal words of Johnny Paycheck)

Take this job and shove it, I ain't workin' here no more."

Best of luck, Kyle!

BEF, hard to get anything done with a kitty on your lap.

Yes it is. It jumped up later, right onto my computer , but I let it lay down and sleep. Was hard to get work done with a painful tooth also.

At least I started the antibiotic.. up to take Tylenol.
