Good morning!!!!

[NHBX]

56° now low around 45° tonight, skies just starting to clear now. Between yesterday and today we got 2.25” nice steady rain. The big winds the guessers were hollering about never materialized, I’m good with that!

Drew, that’s a good looking meal and produce, we just picked our last tomatoes the other day. Real poor garden year this year between drought and critters, oh well there is always next year lol.

Enjoy your weekend everyone

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 8C and it's presently 18.5C, sunny with a steady breeze. There was 1.5mm in the gauge from a brief, heavy, shower yesterday arvo.

Not much on for the day. This evening there's going to be a 'gathering' over on the neighbour's front paddock: it'll be the Pyengana Endurance Race people enjoying a campfire and consuming food that was prepared for the now cancelled race... I imagine that a few beverages will enjoyed. Most will stay the night.

I'll putter around the house until then.

Take care all.

45F and clear @ 21:30 and heading down to a low of 47F overnight ...





A little more progress today.

Got ball valve replaced over in the barn (after locating the large crescent and pipe wrench)

Got temporary electric to barn hooked back up (had to replace a section so it was little more involved than I was hoping for)

Only one of the two 8' light fixtures working though ...

Got about half of the stuff on pallets moved out again. That's enough to be able to juggle most of the stuff that remains inside around with the Kubota to be able to work ... without having to move it all the way out.

Woman worked on more clean up and organizing in the garage, also garden clean up around back. Plus assisted me.

Tomorrow I need to set up another table or two and have Her start cleaning and moving stuff off the original table.

Also move the chop saw, radial arm saw, table saw over and the little Craftsman compressor over.

Getting the electric hooked up is big ... because it will allow me to run the torpedo heater and it keep it not unbearable at least.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

Four hundred bux is a pretty good deal for a helmet these days, Billy. And no matter what that Aussie's gear cost, it's still less expensive than a hospital stay.

I had good leathers and good helmet back in 2019 when an SUV hit me pretty much head on. Didn’t keep me out of the hospital, broke 10 ribs, collapsed both lungs, broke collar bone, scapula and a hip.
BUT…..I had no road rash whatsoever and no head or neck injuries, so I’ll take that as a success. Also my last ride on a street bike after over 50 years on them.

Good evening all. 47ºF for the start, light breeze, clear sky. Light wind morning moderate with brisk gusts in afternoon, and high temp was 86ºF. Bike ride start delayed for temp warmup. After lunch cranked up chain saw and got the woodprocessed in neighbor's yard, now just need to do mine. Did get nap in and put boat cover on. Need to get wood tarp on tomorrow after bike ride.

I guess facts hurt some peoples feelings.
Kyle, There are no facts anymore, just what ever we each imagine.

There’s facts, and alternate facts to name a few.

Picked up the bank’s new car. 4 more years and it’s mine.

Has more options than I realized.
Will take awhile to get used to LED headlights, they sure are bright.
Apple car play wasn’t working right I don’t think. It wouldn’t show map, keeps saying it needed location services turned on , and it is on.

Ate supper at a Dutch restaurant I saw last time I was up there.

Your bank did well. Nice of them to let you drive it.

When you can figure out the auto high beam you are half way there.
