Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

nice peonies Ken
first the ants
then the flowers
always had to stake mine in some way

Dennis, any way to provide a safer alternative for your Dad?
just thinking out loud. He's familiar with the controls for sure.
have to think if he's in that tractor seat he's in the saddle again
does he have ROPS and a seat belt?

I'm off to find that Farmall H we saw earlier

He keeps the ROPS folded down to fit in the building, and he won’t put it up.
Last year when dealer rebuilt the engine, they replaced a missing ROPS bolt at no cost.

We had kids just like you describe. Wife spent lots of time in principals offices. Had kids in 5 different schools at the same time. Kicked out of school too only to be hospitalized at mental facility and therefore school had to readmit when back. Wife showed up one time in school to check on a kid and principal did not want her there but she insisted. Principal called police to have her arrested but police refused. Filed many complaints and had principal fired. Wife could write a book about how to navigate school systems to get special Ed services. Schools are very resistant to provide special Ed services costing them big dollars.

In NJ, it is the opposite - both the schools AND the parents want to get the kids “classified” because it means more federal dollars to the school and more $$$ benefits to the family.

(Mrs worked 22 years in an inner-city school system in administration, so that is factual. Parents would get upset if the kid was NOT classified…)

Agreed classified yes to attract funding but some of our kids were in special ed schools to the tune of thousands per month and bussed 60 miles each way hitting the school budget way beyond funding

Just saw where someone near me was killed under a round baler last night. Sad. Very close to where the concrete guy lived that was killed in an accident a month or so ago.

Agreed classified yes to attract funding but some of our kids were in special ed schools to the tune of 100k per month and bussed 60 miles each way hitting the school budget way beyond funding

the system Mrs worked at would bus kids in car service/”limos if it was deemed necessary, budget be damned. Which is why the property taxes on our 1896 Queen Anne on-a 24.7’X135’ lot was almost $9G a year when we left almost 9 years ago - and they had a re-Val a couple years ago and takes went up spectacularly! And you can no longer look up how much the taxes are on specific properties…

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

Dentist visit was mostly successful, I have some gum recession starting, got a referral to precip to get a sort-tissue graft. Better to stop is sooner rather than wait until I need bone graft!

going up to woodlot shortly - it was quite chilly this morning (44.6F at 6AM, and it is finally warming up enough for Mrs to tolerate heading out.

Called BigBoxOrange, spoke to supervisor. She said that they traced down the issue - items were scanned as going on the truck at distributor, but never got scanned as coming off the truck. LSS they are going through the process of reauthorizing our items to be shipped, and hopefully we can get it delivered next week or so. She was also very apologetic that the other items which DID arrive on that portion of the order were not included with the part of the order that did get delivered.

Bailey is looking for attention, she will be disappointed when we don’t take her up to the mountain today, but we will be trying to bat out a lot of tasks today with the excavator and mowing equipment, so she will remain safely on the sofa.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Drew, with the lightweight trailer and load you are pulling behind RV. Get a trailer hitch extension from Amazon. Lots of choices for length. I am assuming you have 2” receiver hitch.

For most school systems we could get "in-house" services fairly easy. But when the school system could not provide adequate service for the kid and only option was to go outside to private institutions for services not generally know to the public that is difficult because the schools will try to deny. Even parents using expensive legal counsels have not been able to get it in many cases. That is what hits the school budgets pretty hard

I have bad gums and great teeth, was told thirty years ago that I would lose them all. Older Dentist told me to brush with baking soda and peroxide toothpaste and I still have my teeth and gums today.
