Got some prep work for serving table done. Bridges for end alignment, cutting 2 x 4 to size etc.
Today some more of that.

Son's friends stayed over last night, pool was occupied until I sent them to apt at 10pm.

good morning, 73 already going to 86. Not sure if the rain will come in later tonight

Wife had her infusion yesterday. Swelling is already starting to go down

Continued to work on the tree planting and cleaned up shelters and set 30 new stakes for downed shelters. I think some of them are pushed over by bears and deers. Bears looks for bee nests and honey and destroy them. The Paw Paw trees are starting to come in and this picture is what is look like today after starting life as a small seedling.

The farm diesel tank was filled up this morning. Should be good for the rest of the year.

Had coffee on the balcony early this morning looking over the South Mountain and our forrest areas. The sun changing the look from shades to bright lights always fascinating. The bird life is all over with chipping and flying. Swallows have returned and doing the job on insects.
Looking up the trees closely discovers so many birds. Rabits are all over this year.

One on the neighbors has been doing dirt work for weeks now with equipment taking out soft dirt, putting in driveways and bring in fill, apparently to build up a pad for some kind of building.

Good morning! 73˚F heading to the 90s, partly cloudy, SE wind.

Boxes boxes boxes to unpack, lawns to mow and need to meet the electrician at the new house. Full day.

In my house, where things first got placed became its place. If I move things, I get the “that’s not where it belongs”.

Concrete is now scheduled for Tuesday morning, so this rig won’t have to hold up for long.

I had a piece of PVC sticking out of the forms for the footers they poured for the porch cover posts. The PVC was supposed to protect a water line from the concrete. The contractor told me to wrap the PVC with 1/4" foam to protect it from the concrete. Belt & suspenders?

good visit with cardiologist office, other than slightly higher BP, was cleared of
all major heart issues. But they are putting me on a new pill.
She also wrote me a scrip for Wegovy, something I sure need but doubt insurance will pay for it.

Bill, you and I are 40 pounds over. I really, really want to take 20 of that off. Hope you have good luck.

now to push the mower and sweat

read an interesting article on impossibly expensive cities, from a housing standpoint.
California led the list for the US, interesting that Australia was noted:

Australia is the only other country besides the US to dominate the “impossibly unaffordable” list,
led by Sydney and the southern cities of Melbourne in Victoria and Adelaide in South Australia.

even more interesting was the most affordable list for the US, and I think most affordable has a connection
to desirability and maybe urban blight
St Louis
Rochester
Pittsburgh

As of November 2022; The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto costs $2,502each month, while a two-bedroom is $3,353 per month.

All the grass is cut for another 2 weeks. The wind was up a little so I figured now was a good time as most of the bugs cannot fly in windy conditions. I never broke a sweat, temperature was 63°F. It felt warmer in the sun. By next Thursday they are talking 84, down from the 90 they were talking about this morning.

Scott, I was tooling along doing the limit in a construction zone with my right front tire sidewall rubbing against the bottom of a New Jersey barrier and a guy with a fancy truck with those $600.oo mirrors went blasting past me and clipped my drivers' side mirror. After the zone I reached out and pulled my cheapo mirror back in line so I could see behind and he was on the shoulder of the highway (401) whinging that I broke his mirror. I told him that he broke his mirror on my truck and there was zero damage to my truck. "Have a nice day". I could've called the cops, but why get him in any more trouble than he was already in.
I'm doing the limit in a construction zone and you blow by me and screw up busting your mirror on my truck and expect me to pay for it, you are on drugs!

Both Vancouver and Toronto made the list of the cities that are “impossibly unaffordable.”
