Good morning!!!!

Nice pictures Kyle.

Morning all, 46 going up to 81, supposed to be sunny later.
Very dry here, ground is cracking, so on watering duties again today.

Busy working on bicycles, need to teach son how to maintain them.

Busy at day job, getting assigned more work, so that's good.

Drew- that campground is right near ringing rocks park, took the son there a few years ago. Rocks have so much iron, if you hit them they ring like a bell, but are solid. Have a fun trip, bring a hammer for the rocks.

Well back to work.

One of these days Popg I need to stop up and lend a hand with one of your big projects.

Be well,


I grow, cut and dry my own sage for use on my easy over eggs. Flowering out now.

Good Morning!!!! 56F @ 6:45AM. Plenty of sunshine. High 86F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
High 80s and low 90s, and no rain in the 10-day.

Beautiful Black Eyed Susans, Kyle. And so many!

Good luck on the road, Drew. What did you forget?

Had several different sages growing here before the fire, Ken, lots of lavenders and rosemary, too. Only plants the deer would leave alone. Never thought to dry some for later, now I wish I had.

No word from the van dealer. Maybe they lost interest?

Rode around on the tractor yesterday looking for grass to cut, and came up empty handed. Swapped the flail for the land plan and gave the driveway some love, then it was on to the weed wacker. Surprisingly, it started on the second pull, and behaved itself the rest of the morning. Three hours later, I was soaked and my butt was dragin', but I got a nice wide strip cut down all along the top of the road cut, all the way to the cul-de-sac, and a good start on the top of the hill. Started with some Vortex trimmer line, but it didn't seem to last long, then it broke off up inside the head. Found some stuff I got from Stihl, had to order it from the dealer, made from two different colors of line bonded together. Lasted a lot longer, and no feed issues. Makes sense that the company that made the trimmer would make good line for it.

After lunch I took a nap, then cleaned the spark arrester and air filter on the trimmer. Finished the work day by hooking up the outside air quality monitor that got taken down for the paint job on the house. Surprised it worked, as the connector seemed to be a little bent out of shape.

I'll spend the morning with the trimmer again, then into town for groceries.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

The tin work didn't get done, BUT all the grass is cut. Took all of 1.5 hours. The z-turn is a mountain goat. Up 45° angle hills no problem.

Energy conservation for the rest of the day.

Good morning, another nice sunny day
Was up early and picked up rocks with the loader at the area near the pond and did a bit more grading with the big tractor.

Daughter came out and helped set fence poles. She also dug a few holes by hand and used the surplus digging tool to bust up tree roots. All poles are in now.

Forgot to bring up the recycle bin to the road for pick up so another 2 weeks for next pick up

Drew have a good trip and enjoy your visits

Had a project up that area of pa that you are camping in. Johnny Rich our client had a museum type building in Frackville full of old cars. Very cool to visit. Wondering if it still there

RNG I don’t have to look far for grass to cut. It is getting long but daughter will be back this afternoon to mow with ZT
Daughter in Sweden has an attack of GERD and is in distress. She will go to France for a couple of days and then return early on Saturday

Wife is at her doctor appointment and we are hoping for some adjustment in her medications to give her some relief

67°F and .18 inches rain

Continuation from yesterday, get that wall done. Need to do a PO run as well. Several paint project items there to be picked up. Time in hot tub was especially relaxing.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[sodamo]

Looking good, Dennis, like those supports.

 

[Thomas]

67F cloudy rain arriving for the next several hours.

Short work day afterwards 2 stops for critter food.

Not much plan for the rest of the day and evening.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[txdon]

While clearing limbs yesterday we found this little fellow.

 

[txdon]

A little closer.

 

[daugen]

Never once considered you obnoxious just a friend and a good one

 

[daugen]

just foolin with you.

red sauce going on stove, lasagna thawing out
appetizers made, chairs and a little table put out.
I know I need to take pics but needed to sit down.

first time I've pulled this trailer and found out the hard way it has a clearance problem at full turn. Trailer's front right corner sliced a hole right through the rear fiberglass. no time to post pics now. I'll survive and I likely can fix it myself. Poor rv. terrible driver.
failed to test range of motion.
crunch
another unexpected crunching noise
the sound of discontentment for sure
that's twice.
time to get moving. Will take pics and post later.
site FS1, Colonial Campgrounds, Upper Black Eddy.
I prepaid visitor fee's for a bunch of people.
but of course they charge for putt putt golf.
I'm sure grandpop can spring for it.

time to stir the sauce

Kyle- Nice picture. thanks for sharing.

rswyan- I am sorry to read about the blue bird fledgling. House Wrens will do the same thing. Thanks for the pictures.

RonJH- Awesome hummingbird picture. Thanks for sharing. I am not seeing many hummingbirds so far this year. I am wondering if the Canadian smoke plume is messing with the hummers’ migration.

“I think Jay should tell us what makes a good Karen.

this should be interesting” Drew- Thanks for the laugh. Caucasian and/or even worse a Caucasian wannabe, narcissistic, entitled, a life of privilege usually with enabling parents who are usually Ken and Karen role models. I could go on. The “Karens” and “Kens” may often carry a Characterological/Personality Disorder diagnosis which as defined: “A type of mental disorder in which one has a rigid and unhealthy pattern of thinking, functioning and behaving.” My colleagues at the Hospital called me “Dr. Borderline” as “Borderlines” (i.e. “cutters”) were a large % of my caseload. Have a safe journey, and I hope you have many + experiences..

PopG- Thanks for sharing you project and I really like the picture of Zoe.

Ken- Nice looking herbs. Thanks for sharing.

Fritz- I am sorry to read about your daughter. I hope the GERD resolves quickly and my + thoughts and prayers for your Wife.

Don- I see something, but can not ID it.

It was another morning with high level haze and clouds with a couple of mid level clouds in the mix with 43ºF as the morning low temperature. It was an early trip down to the “Big City” for supplies. There have been periods of filtered sunshine, but it has been a mostly cloudy day. The 75ºF recorded earlier may become today’s high temperature. with luck I may see a HH T-storm or 2 with the approaching cold front . I will bring in the tomatoes and basil tonight just in case.

A slow day here on the bird scene.

She is learning to run the ZT
Did not take her long
I will relax in the shade

Good Afternoon Everyone

no updates yet - still waiting to hear from the lawyers re Separation / Buy-out. I need to meet with the Banks again also. I'm still crunching numbers, all around

some bookkeeping to occupy my time

in the meantime my out-of-town daughter is here visiting this week. Tonight my buddy is taking us 4 wheeling in his Jeep Rubicon - that will be a first for her. The weather for boating just wasn't cooperating

have a good day

You forgot “Has an overwhelming tendency to want to see the manager.”

You forgot “Has an overwhelming tendency to want to see the manager.”

Daughter was manager at a diner and they wanted to complain to manager after she told them what the deal was. She said I am the manager.Not much to talk about after that. She said some people are looking for opportunities to get free meal because of complaint. Saw customers swipe tips from other tables

Kilroy- Thanks for the laugh. There are so many more "traits" that the membership here could contribute. I kind of feel sorry for all those "Rich School" entitled ones down in the "Big City", Northampton, MA. Entitled they are, but "Political Correctness Rules so they must suppress their genetic drives to whine and complain and project their BS/"Stuff" onto others. They are only looking at a "Mirror" image. All that suppressed anger, and rage, but fortunately they would never own a firearm "on principle."

 

[daugen]

good to sit down
good dinner, ate outside on picnic table, it was fine, cleaning up was a
chore for sure. maybe the dish fairy will come tonight and put them all away. everyone had fun and I got them on their way while it was still light out.

bondo time for sure
sure wish it had a bumper like the front.
corners of my utility trailer are like can openers.
