I want to get a felling rope and line to throw up over a branch.
IF your shoulder can handle it I've found that I'm most effective with a "tennis ball" slingshot designed to throw tennis balls for dogs. I loosely coil a light throw line and can fairly accurately shoot up into a tree. Then pull up heavier rope or chain.

M7040, I had shoulder surgery in 2018. Cured my shoulder pain. But required PT caused on of my Biceps to break off. PT was required before I could get a MRI. It’s a Medicare rule. They do not repair this on a person my age. While I have no more pain in that arm. It does not have the strength it had before injury. It’s why I have changed over to battery operated tools. Be careful with PT. I now have a Popeye arm. It’s where the bicep has rolled up in my upper arm.
Ron- I have 2 Popeye arms. It was not PT that led to this, but a mix of meds that I was taking at the time. And now I have an unnatural craving for spinach and beating up big guys with beards.

31°F and clear skies this morning, got up to 61° today. I'd like to be done with this freezing stuff already. Not as windy today, though.

Got a little more mowing done this evening after work. Still never got back to the pasture. Probably wait until the weekend at this point. Didn't look super tall anyway.

Happy Birthday to Mrs. Brumberg.

Glad you had a good turnout, Randy. Always thankful for anyone who's fought for freedom.

Wife brought back from Canada a 2L jug of Sweet Ontario pure maple syrup. Oh, my ...
She also brought some Doo Doo's butter tarts, from a little bakery in Bailieboro, ON. Oh, my ...
Won't be losing any weight this week. :rolleyes:

Good evening, gents.

Ta Mate.

We had another great turnout for the wreath laying ceremony, probably 350+, which is fantastic for a wee town of 3,500. There are a few other towns in our 'Shire' (County) that would be holding their own too.

Oh, yeah... I did get Paddock #3 chain-harrowed & mulched yesterday. :)

Happy Hour was fun. Nine of us showed up including a couple we hadn’t seen since before Christmas.

Did get several hours mowing, but not done.

Family time enjoying my yesterday’s work

Drinking first cup of hot coffee. 23° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 43° with rain in afternoon. In between snow flakes falling I spent sometime running vacuum in pond. Not a easy job. 10' of wand full of water and debris. Water is clearer each time I do it. Today will be a conserve energy day.
Caught this Tufted Titmouse setting still long enough for a photo yesterday.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
a veggie cringing 36 degrees out, going up to 60 in sunshine today

am off to primary doc early this morning, likely to get nagged at about weight and sugar, don't know my cholesterol scores yet, but they were ok
last time.

I have to pick out some new formica for a carpenter to make new kitchen counter for me. Tiny kitchen, now I have to figure out the color part, blending in with plain beige
kitchen cabinets. Need to get some options and show them to landlady and let her pick. Need something light colored, maybe whitish with some beige stuff mixed in, like fake marble. This is where I wish I had more female input.

lot of rain headed our way later this week and all weekend, looks like almost three inches total. The pollen has been so heavy I have left the slide
in on the rv, keep all that pollen out Schwintek slide mechanism. Sure would be nice to have a garage for this thing but that's not in the cards.

hope you all have a nice day
