Good morning! 66˚F heading to the 80s chance of rain like the last few days that were missing us. Looks like Spike and Kyle, south of me, got some rain though.

Chain saw would not start yesterday, it's becoming more and more unreliable, may have to get a new one or a battery (EGO)one. When I was putting fuel in it the gas was running out the other side and I couldn't see where it was coming out.
I just used a sawzall.

Today we will be doing FireWise closer to the homes to reduce the fire load by taking out the cedars damaged by the ice storm.

Kilroy, When my tractor did not fit in the barn I raised the header board and added a window on the top that opened and gave me more clearance. Have fun working the new toy, and don't flip it, it looks good all nice and shinny.

Good Morning
54 going to the high 60’s under partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of a passing shower.

Yesterday’s weather was quite nice, especially in FL and the Bahamas.

A bit cloudy and a thunderstorm just off the airport at Wilmington, NC where we cleared back into the US.

Interesting experience as I was almost detained here though. Because I couldn’t find my passport for the officer. My copilot had it by mistake, apparently we have identical fight bags and keep our passports in the same place. It sorted out when the one he presented had my picture!!!

Zoe’s class last night was canceled because the teacher was sick, so I did not have to race home or miss it. Had a smoked Hawaiian ribeye at Mission BBQ with copilot. If it seems like I go there a lot, it’s because it’s close to the airport and has relatively fast service. Most of the copilots go in a different direction home than me, so it’s convenient. There are a few that will meet me at my house and commute with me, giving us more options.

Today will likely start with breakfast with the professor followed by some clean up and hopefully today we will try the drone air to air video with the RC planes.
Can’t believe it’s almost time to mow again, but it’s that time of year. The good news is I don’t have to go anywhere for the next couple of weeks.

Kilroy, When my tractor did not fit in the barn I cut the header board and added a door on the top. Have fun working the new toy, and don't flip it, it looks good all nice and shinny.

My plan is to sister up two boards on the beam over the door and remove the header board completely, then build up the top of the doors to fill the gap.

Morning all, grey day today 57 to 69.
Got a lot more of the driveway cleaned up, me on the gas hedge trimmer, son on the M18 pole saw. Both on the chipper. Son's first time using a chipper. 700 feet done, still need to do around the trench and brushcut the roadage.

He gets inducted into the National English honors society today and told us he is bringing his new girlfriend over on Saturday, we have never met this one.

KC - Congrats on the new ride!

Drew - Borax for sugar and small ants always works for me. My old house used to get big infestations. Put down borax by where they were marching along the wall and a day or two later, no ants:

Jay - Mass Moca? Been there, was not too far from my Uncles house. I remember when that building was Sprague and it was textiles before that.

10 hours of heavy yard work, today might take it easy. Might be pool opening today.

Be well,

I understand - I did 25 years in law enforcement in NJ.

Thank you for your service. As an admission psychologist I "joined the party" on numerous occasions helping police officers wrestle a less than cooperative pending new admission through the front door.

Coffee is brewing. 47° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 70° with sunny skies. Got tire on JD yesterday. Did get some grass trimming around buildings. Did not get any weed killer down because of wind. Neighbor sold some paver bricks that were on 7 pallets. I loaded 4 of them on buyers trailer with tractor. 3 more pallets to load later this week. More trimming today.
First Oriole this year.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

Ron- Nice picture. Thanks for sharing. I started putting oranges out last week to welcome the returning B.O.'s.... Maybe today.

Agree and we as parents have used police to transport and admit. Police was always very helpful and understanding and escorted ambulance to the hospital. Like I said we have experience just not professional but from a user of health care perspective

Good morning, the low temperature was 40 and going to a high of 62°F. Wind NNW 5 to 10 mph. Zero precipitation.

Nice hoe. Now the fun begins!

I plan to retire in a couple of years. I don't think my retirement plan can afford an $80,000.oo machine, unfortunately. I don't know if I can float a life insured loan at 77.

I have caught up with my get up and go, so I WILL be doing at least some of the tin work today. At a minimum cutting it away from the plastic on the fridge doors. Right now I have the V-plow sitting on top of my M416CDN2 army trailer. I want to get that finished so the plow can sit back down on its' skid. Then the trailer will be usable again.

I just looked at the back yard again yesterday, and I have about 4 to 6 hours worth of trimming and cutting to shove the bush back where it was when I bought this place.

I did get both sides of the driveway cleaned up and cut back about 6'. More room to put snow. There is one tree that I am leery (call that scared) of taking down with my hoe on the Kioti. It is higher than the hydro lines and about 10' from them. I don't want to be 'that' guy.

Breakfast time, have a safe day all
