Good morning!!!!

Good Morning!

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

34.7F going to mid 50s, sunny day forecasted.

Fired up the sauna for the first time this season, it felt good! Kept it on the lower end to ease back into it, 125F at start of session 130 by time we finished. One of the battery packs for the LED lighting finally died, I ordered a pair of lithium rechargeable 7AH packs so I don’t need to keep purchasing D batteries — but I got over a year out of them and they sat unused all summer.

Dogs went up the mountain for a good walk test of the day was spent puttering around the house. Mrs wanted to do some cleaning with the little Shark handheld steamy sprayer but it wasn’t working, so I went out on the porch and disassembled it and cleared a blockage in the check valve on the pump and got that back into operation, much to her surprise…

the rest of the afternoon we were watching/listening to a podcast from John Rich’s Redneck Riviera with songwriters performing. As one guy put it, “I am a world-class songwriter with a bunch of hits and all sorts of awards, which means nobody knows who I am”. Made for a reasonably good energy conservation finish to the day.

Today is a Mom shopping day.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!!!!

I wonder how many things I could back up into with that...

All of them?

25 outside right now, heading to - may touch 60.

Looks to be a nice day.

Needless to say, burn ban into effect until further notice. Yesterday while traveling the property scavenging firewood came across a lot more ashes from the neighbors barn fire. Their place was one and a quarter mile away from ours. No cause as of yet.

Today is reclaimed barn wood day. I'll be searching for boards on the property (LOL) for a wall in the Milk House that the SO would like. Should be fun.

Hope all have a great start to the work week. Safe travels and quicker healing to those in need.

Good Morning!!!! 53F @ 4:15AM. Partly cloudy skies. High 69F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Looks like the rain will start by mid morning tomorrow, but much less than originally predicted, and just for the day. I'm a bit relieved it's holding off, as I don't like the idea of trying to get the loaded van and trailer up a wet driveway. But I'm hoping for some substantial rainfall to end the fire season.

Neither the BMW Rider's Association nor the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association hold much attraction for those of us riding the older bikes, Paul. Neither do the newer BMW motorcycles. BTDT, and now I have lots of T-shirts to wear for dirty jobs around the house and garage.

I like the idea of using epoxy to fix that broken bowl, David. Brownell's sells a paste that can be dyed, and that won't flow out of the crack before it hardens.

Managed to get the rest of the hanging shelves taken down out of the garage yesterday. The place is a shambles with wires everywhere and stuff that's not making this trip stacked all over the place. There's still room in the trailer, so I'll pack up one or two of the shelving units and take them along, too.

Hope everyone's week gets off to a productive start...

RNG when you make your final load are you putting the place up for sale. It is nice to be able to have both places at the same time during a slow methodic move.

Good Morning
27 and won’t see 50 today. Clear blue sky.

Nice trip to the Vineyard yesterday, great lunch at Mission BBQ afterward. Did some RC flying with son, puttered around shop, friends stopped by with a pizza unexpectedly, so we had a relaxing dinner. His wife is interested in my “old” Prius v, they took it for a ride and came back with a pizza.

Neighbor texted me that his garage is 68 inside while it’s in the 20’s outside. He is real happy with his new mini split.
Today I’ve got to pull out the dump trailer and put the loader on the tractor, the manure bin is full. I’m guessing at least six loads to neighboring farm where they prize it. Apparently alpaca poop is the gold standard for soil enrichment.

Not a lot else planned for today, but something always seems to pop up.

Good Morning! 54˚F overcast, chance of rain 10-30% today, North breeze, high today 60˚.

PT later today. One of the test she had me preform was going from a sitting position to a stand up position without using hands. She timed me as I did 5 stand ups and sit downs. My time was 11 seconds. At the end of PT I get tested again to see improvement and I really don't think it's possible to get much faster.

How fast can you do 5 stand ups and sit downs from a sitting position (no hands)?

One reason it is a prized soil enrichment is because the alpacas digest their food so completely it does not need to be composted first, there are no seeds left to sprout unlike horse or cow manure.

You may want to consider selling bags at the markets where you wife sells the socks. Nuggets of gold!

Why should you fertilize your garden with alpaca manure? Great results! Alpacas highly efficient digestive system produces manure that has the ideal balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micro-nutrients that plants need to thrive while also being low in organic matter.
