Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning! Low of 44°, heading up to around 78°. Partly sunny, 40% chance of a shower. Haven't got a drop out of the sky since last Friday.... so much for percentages.....

Yesterday was a 'recovery' day.... after driving almost 200 miles back and forth for 2 pallets of mulch on Tuesday. And the unloading process.... the tractor will only lift a half pallet (using the bolt on pallet forks, which puts the load way out front of the bucket)(essentially cutting the lift capacity in half). So, hand unloading 30 bags off of each before being able to lift the pallet. Got a good workout for sure!

But, yesterday was still successful.... Max got his summer cut at the groomers, a small grocery run completed, bird feeders refilled, stop at the bank and PO, then a short afternoon nap..... all good!

Today's agenda is to unload the third pallet of mulch, then heading back today for a fourth one. Wifey said: "Well, the prices will only go up, and the sale only happens once a year, get some extra."

Dennis, I saw the bulk mulch prices you posted.... I wish the prices out here were that good....
The lowest bulk price here is $48/yard for double shred. The highest price (from the most reputable place) is $65/yard.
A pallet of bagged is 130 CF or 4.8 yards. A pallet is costing $130, about $27/yard.

I have contemplated buying a chipper for the tractor, then running the "free" mulch from the transfer station through it to improve the quality. But, (there's always a 'but'), I could buy 6-8 years worth of mulch for the cost of the chipper..... then there's the work of putting yards and yards of mulch through the chipper....
mmmmm --- think the bags are easier.....

Need to get moving.
Everyone have a great day!

went for a nice drive and did not find the Farmall H
did find an M62 Kubota on honeydipper duty
stream was down pretty low and not much rain in sight
miniature golf looked very nice

30 bags of mulch Ted and they are all attached to your knee.
be careful. Hoping you do not wake up tomorrow
with a knee of new proportions.
but then what to do when docs do not provide successful guidance.

so your TBN doc of zero merit hopes you wear a brace or whatever.
you have medical training, you know better. Pretty hard to fix yourself isn't it?...

if you look North of where I am at in this map you will see a place along the Delaware River called Ringing Rocks. While I always thought the name was interesting, I most associated with the Ringing Rocks fire/rescue squad that had a specialized mountain/cliff climbing crew.
Almost always to rescue someone who fell. I listened to their calls on home scanner for more than ten years.

the interesting point of Ringing Rocks is the name

The Sonorous Stones of Ringing Rocks Park - Bucks County Free Library

The Atlas Obscura website notes that in 1890 J.J. Ott gave a remarkable concert for the Buckwampum historical society. What made the concert remarkable wasn’t the music being played but the “instrument” Ott was playing. The instrument consisted of stones that made clear, bell-like tones when...

that would be a good day trip with a kid, take a couple of hammers and go bang on some rocks. One out of three will ring in a special way

street view of google maps is super helpful
I think I found the ringing rocks, what a field of them

LS, where did you get the mulch? wife wants me to run into Lowes and get the 1.5cf scotts mulch 5 for $10 on sale.

I'm also shopping Flail mowers for Dad to use, at least 73" one.

65°F and .45 inches rain.

Get started on my last 2 walls today, but I don’t anticipate getting them finished. This is the active space between the living room and garage boxes. 2 walls 8 ft apart fully covered by the overlapping roofs. A natural catch all for all sorts of things that will have to be relocated first. Actually a pretty tight area to be wielding a pw wand. I expect a lot of blow back. Both walls are gable ends so 2x10 support Timbers.

Didn’t make it to PO before it closed, so still on my list.

We host H&F this afternoon.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

often in your face.

hi honey, what were you working on?
oh, I can see.

finished waxing rv with a spray Meguiars wax that went on super easy and almost self polished. But I went over with a fluffy microfiber anyway. Have to complete the wax on wax off to maintain my zen state. It was just nice to be outside, until the weedeaters came back.

took the golf cart up to where the pump out is, got familiarized with that so I can get in and out tomorrow. It was only ten bucks for the honey dipper to do it today but it's tomorrow morning before I come home I need it. I don't care what the gauge says, not full.
proverbial famous last words

might watch a movie later, have one more dvd I haven't watched yet.
with no one around me, can turn up the sound a little

Drew, pull up a chair and watch like in RV when he tries to empty the tank.
