Good morning, 53 going to 83 today clear conditions wind gusts to 9 MPH.

Checked over the mower yesterday and mowed some of the areas. The mower is due for service including all filters and oil changes. Will order what is needed from Messicks Kubota to save a few bux. Super UDT transmission oil is like gold.

Mostly I have the posts to go into the fencing. They are tall heavy treated posts I think 10 ft and 6 inch diameter. Then pull regular field wire fence. One of the kids is coming out to help put up the posts and tamp dirt around them. Once that is done I will deposit branches and logs against the fence up high. No shortage of branches and logs around here. That way
I will use what I already have on hand and not costing anything except time.

Going to PT this morning for shoulder and knee. The X ray of the knee shows calcium in the meniscus which is a change from two years ago when it was normal. Not good

Put in some of the stakes for the tree shelters. Using the ram for the stakes was too hard on the shoulder so changed to using a hammer. Being right handed it is difficult to hammer with the left hand. Will go slow on this. When going to PT will discuss this.

Buppies, hope you continue to improve. Are you drinking enough water or could be the meds.

David your building is really looking good. Are you following a plan or is this building it as you go?

LS hope that son's divorce proceedings will go better after the judgement.

RIP would foxes be scaring the turkeys away?

Scaredychicken, hope you can get some control of the situation.

Good morning to all.
A special note to all Veterans: If you are not currently involved in a VFW / American Legion or other organization, please check into this. Just a tweak to remind people like me who for a long time after my service did not check into this. Well worth the time and very likely an org. close to home.

USAF rumors: Project Mayhem. A replacement for the SR-71. hypersonic Mach 10 bomber. Artist rendering:

Hope all have a great day!

Good Morning
It’s already 65 and going to top 80 today. Another sunny day.

Yesterday I stayed busy all day, just the way I like it. Started with mounting the tire on the spare rim for the mower. It’s a 15 x 600-6 and a royal pain to get on or off the rim. Little tires are the worst!
Loaded some cans into the KubVan to fill with the diesel that won’t fit in the tank, so I get the max allowed discounted fuel. However, got sidetracked and postponed the trip to get until today.
We cooked steak on the grill, along with baked potatoes and broccoli for lunch, the electric igniter wasn’t working, so that was the after lunch project. It originally had piezo lighters, I switched to a battery powered one that fired all three burners at once. Of course it was too deep to fit in the panel, so I had to bend up a piece of stainless to weld to the panel to make it fit.

Found some time to play with Zoe outside, she is a challenge, sometimes she listens perfectly, other times you would think she is deaf. It’s frustrating, because she demonstrates that she knows what she is expected to do, but ignores you if she has something better to do. I’m hoping it’s just a puppy phase, she is not quite 6 months old.

Finished the day with a zoom meeting for the airport authority that went pretty quickly, except for the hour long executive session.

Today, the wife and I are headed out for breakfast with the professor. I’ll get the diesel fuel when we get back, might do some mowing, might put that off until tomorrow, it’s trash night, and I’ve got a minor mess to clean up from my grill project.

I am sure there are numerous targets both sides would consider strategic. Without getting into a detailed discussion on a possible conflict, I am afraid it would be very global in nature. At the minimum, thinking selfishly about us, and to assume the US is involved, it would seem to be a world changer conflict that would be hard to stop once started? Ugh.

Good thing we got rid of the amateurs and brought back the seasoned foreign-policy experts…

Good morning! 48˚F heading to the upper 70s, Clear skies, Southerly winds.
Today my wife host cards, H&F, and will have 3 tables. A good time for me to do garden work or lay by the pool.
I'm surprised I'm a bit cooler than most this morning.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly.

Slept in until 6:45 and it was WONDERFUL! Except that Harry Houdini Hound keep us up until almost 2AM you long in his crate, until Mrs finally had enough and took him on the couch with her…
And he went right to sleep.

I bought four IBC totes off CL, turns out it was a guy we had so grading work for us before, good to get reacquainted, and asked him for a quote for grading where our shed delivery will go. I picked up a combination lock so that he can come and go when the work gets started, but he is about a month out, so I need to call shed guy and let him know we are running behind on accepting delivery. He did say, when we placed the order, that he can hold on to the shed for as long as necessary, but I want to keep him in the loop.

I have to go back to pick up IBC tote number four - I could only get two in the back of the PU, and our little 4x6 utility trailer (which we have been abusing since buying new 9 years ago and it has held up amazingly well!), and Mrs would not let me stack x4 on top of the other two in the bed… spoilsport!

but I need to stop and pick up a galvanized can for Harry’s kibble, and my new chainsaw chaps are in at the tool rental (no quite yet, she is still waiting to hear from her distributor, who is waiting to hear from his supplier, who is waiting for…), so after a bit more of the Elixer of Life and some breakfast, that will get done. Then up to the woodlot with the dogs, and I will put in our four grapevines and 6 elderberries, and at 5 PM Harry has another follow up vet visit and 3rd vaccination shot.

I also need to boil up a batch of sugar water for the bees.

IF IT SNOWS THIS WEEKEND YOU CAN ALL BLAME ME. I AM TAKING THE PLOW AND CHAINS OFF THE QUAD TONIGHT.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Morning all, 58 going to....88 and sunny.
No rain for weeks, have to water things, everything is blooming though
Cleaned out front beds, 3 cart loads of detritus still needs a bit more work and some mulch added.

Tonight is hardware store for drinks and movie theater for Money Pit, should be fun.

Think I saw our first hummingbird-need to get the feeder up

Be well,

Some of the flowers by the road survived from last year.
The green around the daffodils are lily's we will see if they get cut down again by someone...
