Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

62, a nice thunderstorm just passed through an hour ago, but then a nice window of time without rain let me feed the birds without getting wet. Drizzle now, going to 68 with more rain.

Nice job on those trees, Kilroy. Will you build there?

BEF, I know what you mean playing Tetris with your equipment. I've been doing that, too.

Sodamo, I've been in probably 10 TSCs...funny how different they can be...but always found 3 pt. stuff. Sorry yours was lacking.

My wife and I spent yesterday morning at the local garden center...huge place and picked up "just the right colors" flowers to replant the outdoors planters and oak barrel. Got some tomato and jalapeno plants. She is happy. I spent time just breathing in the sweet bouquet of the gardenia section while she shopped. We had them by our front door as a kid, and at the first house I ever bought...brings back great memories...never planted them here, because didn't think they were hardy enough, but saw one variety with a tag that said "down to 0F" but didn't pull the trigger, since $36 and I need to do some research.

Down to Zero...reminds me...anyone ever listen to Joan Armatrading? So good.

We are blessed. Thank you for asking. I am finding my body can't keep up with what my mind wants to do. This past week I've been on my feet a lot at work. Feet, all the way up to lower back are hurting. I told the wife, that if we had gone somewhere like a zoo, I would have had to stay in the car. I'm wondering if the Losartan I'm taking for BP is hurting my mobility? Seems to have come around since I've started taking it....

Feet feel better now, after a night's rest.

Glad you're feeling better.

It's 50º and foggy. Going to 80º by 1-2 pm. Weed spraying is on the agenda this am before the afternoon breeze come up. Stupid weed killer tripled in price in the last 2 years. Good thing this inflation is temporary.
I may never retire if the cost of everything keeps rising.
Mowed Mustard too tall as the hood on the MX too thick to walk through. Was slow going. Even with a mask on my eyes and sinus giving me fits.
Welded some chain hooks on the mower to make it easier to lift for sharpening. Third sharpening this season. Mower has gotten a workout.
Raked rocks from a neighbors arena. Hard to scoop them up. Seems I only get half the pile then it's shovel and rake work. Shoulder is a bit pissed off about that this am. Will try not to aggravate it any more today.
The wife's up time to get some coffee... have a great day whatever you do.

wngsprd I remember her unique voice and delivery - good stuff

Woke up to the sound of thunder, and a downpour. Started singing a song from 1976, not 1962.

Oldest son called about midnight. Another girl broke up with him. None of us understand why, he’s good kid, good looking, athletic and in shape, has good job. I just don’t know what to say. This at least 4th one since living in Nashville.

Waiting for the rest of the crew to get ready for worship.

Yes Danish pancakes are very similar. Made thin like the French crepes. Our kids loved them especially rolled up with Gooseberry jam inside

in the size of one large fluffy pancake, there were a whole lot of pancakes there. I could only eat half, save the rest for tomorrow.
very good with strawberry preserves but I thought more interesting with lingonberry preserve.
I wonder if the Ikea cafeteria serves them...

quality carbs for sure
no bread for me rest of day
my own lettuce is just about ready to be picked, have to eat more salads.
When I'd rather have a pot roast with three big pieces of home made bread.
which is why I'm 30 pounds overweight...

Good morning, 56 now which is about as warm as it gets today and ALL day rain.

Walked Cody and he got wet but shakes it off. Made coffee and got wife settled in easy chair with a cup of coffee.

Mowed a couple of hours yesterday including some of the tree planting areas. The cable between the battery and starter is dragging on the ground under the mower. Seems that mowing a slope the rear had dragged on the ground and broke it loose. Glad it did not short out.

Also restaked 30 tree shelters with 5 ft long oak stakes. Need to go up to the Menonite saw mill in PA and get a few hundred more to have on hand. The shoulder was getting better but the work out yesterday can be felt today. Surgery needs to be avoided. Agree with the doctor

A little teaser for Kil and his new X:

One of the kids when growing up loved the Danish pancakes and got very good at making them. He would make huge stacks of them to share with the family using milk from the French Alpine goats that another kid milked.

Good Morning
50 degrees, overcast and damp. Not raining at the moment. We’ve gotten 1-3/4” since Friday, and it’s not over yet.
Low energy day yesterday, helped son install an underground subwoofer for the sound system at the pool, tinkered in the shop a bit.
Today won’t be much different, although I never know what will pop up.

To be clear, those were cherry blossoms caked on the car tires from diving into the garage. The cherry tree shades the driveway in front of the garage and is stunning when it’s in bloom. Very messy when the blooms fall.

@Popgadget - I didn’t talk to the owner of the Crockers. So don’t know the status of their build. But they had 2 different cylinder heads (early and late).

Found this on the bh, anyone know what it’s for?

That is the master switch key for a Caterpillar machine.
