66°F and .18 inches rain.

Guys lost at H&F 3 weeks in a row now ☹️

Off to Hilo town for Friday follies. Then the other direction to clinic for our alligator booster.

Parts for my welder arrived so hopefully get that functional. Maybe even get lucky and be able to drag it and generator up to the gate to finish post fix.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I was having issues with sizes a couple days ago, but haven’t noticed it now.

Wngsprd, the pallet Jack rig worked great, once I did the 2 studs last. Need to tackle the thread issue. I see there are thread chasers that would probably work better than a tap. I need to buy a new lug bolt and measure thread spacing.

This is tire pulled off, strapped to the verticals pallet, sitting on tips of pallet Jack. After I put new disc on.

Took Honda in for emissions test, did Costco run while close, and filled up with $3.11 gas.
Picked up a bowl at chipotle for lunch.
Tig (Tiger) likes to sleep on the footrest of the lazyboy.

successful morning
good trip to Popgadget's where he helped me with my most pressing issues, installing the new taillight after figuring out what wire went where, and putting on
my new windshield wipers. I would have never figured out the wipers.
Then off to TSC and got my propane tank filled up, ten bucks worth.

then home to back up the rv without rearranging the mail box, all put away, and then loaded the Volvo with a ton of tools and a garden cart for tomorrow's
grounds work day at school.

battery on rv was dead when I started it, will need to go get a replacement. Thankfully really easy to jump start using house batteries.

Afternoon all! Currently 56 and cloudy. Quick update.
Good news at the gastro surgeon visit. Last scope was so good they want me to go on a three year schedule! Bad news is I somehow injured a weird muscle in my neck that put into a trip to the urgent care facility. They have me on muscle relaxers so am not able to operate machinery for a while. Not sure what the cause is/was but I suspect it is my cpap headgear that I have been wearing for over 5 years. Seems it's pressing on a nerve. Hopefully better in a few days!
Nothing else to report as the weather continues to be one big off and on shower.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Kilroy- I am happy to read that you are slowly on themed. I hope you regain full normal degree of function and range of motion soon. Those GUM Soft-Pics are great at removing at removing dog hair from 🍸

Ron- Thanks for sharing your picture; nice feather detail. The birds have been "pairng up" and some have “disappeared” around here.

Billie- Really great pictures and thanks for sharing

Drew- I can relate with you, Bill, Kilroy, Ted, (this list will grow). The important thing is to keep on moving no matter how slowly and/or painfully. My projects now are mainly focused on maintaining what We already have here. My “Biggie” long term now is enhancing the property to encourage more wildlife. I am happy to read that you got your rear light fixed

M7040- Good luck with the PT.

Popgadget- Once our solar panels were installed I retired my home made drone just in case. Thanks for sharing your pictures and helping out Drew.

Ken- That’s crazy. Nice picture though.

Ted- I hope your mower starts. Next week I’ll check mine.

David- Have fun at the “Friday Follies”

Dennis- Thanks for sharing your picture of quality time with Tig.

Phil- Thanks for sharing your good news, and I hope that neck muscle relaxes.

I have been resizing almost all my pictures, but I blamed that on the file size of my pictures. I still can not load videos, but I was able to post the visiting cows.

As for around here - some overnight showers with 0.11" of rain recorded. It was a mostly cloudy 40ºF for this morning's low temperature. The clouds broke up for awhile and there were periods of sun. The clouds have since built back in and it is 53ºF ATM. 54ºF was recorded earlier. I expect to see a mostly cloudy afternoon with maybe some limited periods of blue skies and sun with no real change in the weather. This weekend looks to be dry and sunny and warm.

The hummingbirds returned mid afternoon yesterday and was surprised to see both males and females and even better towards sundown a White-Throated Sparrow.

Maybe I’ll get a picture today to test “The System.”🍸
