good morning all
CRASH! at 1pm. BOOM!
thought I was under attack
line of thunderstorms went through shaking the house
.67 rain, helps, but could have used more
now I'll just be mowing more, I look out now and lawn has already greened up again.

Mostly, maybe we'll go out and look for cuties together. It's been 11 years for me, kinda rusty
Kinda like catching a fish and then not knowing what to do with it...I've had three wives, understand
the basics by now...but i'm a fall in love person so better I stay out of play. I've had my at bats.

had to chuckle, was at supermarket over last weekend, not usually in there then, and two older ladies
gravitated over to me, saying hi, then one's hands lightly started to rub my shoulders and oh boy, time
to check for spilled pickles on aisle three...

visiting step BIL this morning at his farm locally, the one I went to when I overheated at that party.
He wanted to invite me back on a cooler morning.
then home to a little cooler day and will see what I get into.
More rain coming tomorrow

this afternoon taking saw to that storm door so it can fit in can, that was a good idea I was given.
trash company called back, no they won't take it due to glass without a special trip and 5 dollar charge.
Well that's not much for a special trip, but I'll try chopping it up. Aluminum is easy, dealing with the glass
will be a question. Not sure it fits and it sure doesn't cut in half easily....

Good morning, the low is 61 and going to a high of 79°F. Wind N 9 mph. 60% chance of showers. Raining now.

After I found out that I could be penalized for taking the z-turn to town on the road, I cancelled all plans of that. Junior did all the town runs on his trike. Three so far this week.

Another energy conservation day. While I burn up the time I am being punished by the MTO for having a medical 'incident'.

Have a safe day all

Good Morning,
Ct, 74 to start going to 85 or so here, very humid but that is supposed to drop later ! Only about .1 inch last night ! We will leave around 10am for Vermont to host are neighbors across the street ! Hopefully weather cooperates!

My wife thinks this house has some sort of blocker blocker in it maybe was once owned by a spy.
Don, possibly Russian collusion! 😉😀
in there then, and two older ladies

Drew, you owe me the price of my morning paper ! 😉 Where the coffe in my mouth is now on my paper ! 😂 The Waterbury Republican now ruined !
You did it again ! Have you ever considered a career in journalism? 😉

Hope all have a great Thursday! 🙏

good morning, 69 going to 87 and cooler today. Looked like a rain storm was moving in last night but fizzled out and nothing happened. Need rain badly

The Mitsubishi mini split is not cooling as much as before. The company that installed it is coming out this morning to check it out. Maybe a small leak and low on freon

Scott, in second grade they wrote on my report card
Talks Too Much

I love to write actually, thankfully having learned to speed type early on.
Always thought I would be a college professor but no jobs in that field during Vietnam.
Later on when I taught insurance at the Education Center in Hartford at Travelers, i really enjoyed that.
well paid cushy job, not like teaching publicly at all. But I always wanted my own business, perhaps to avoid having
a boss anymore.... pretty sure most of us understand that feeling.

I could write a fun novel about farming and implements. Lots of ideas from NC.
Filled with sex and intrigue, bad trashy neighbors walking topless down the country roads drunk as a skunk.
hydraulics failing trapping our hero underneath, his dog running to the neighbors for help.
Soaring temp gauges on the combine just before the storm comes, can they make it?...
Swarms of locusts erupting and a daughter who has bad taste in men.
two feet of snow and the power is out for days. Will the gen last?
will the chickens freeze?

Tales of the Dirt.
or perhaps
Tractor Tales
preorder now on Amazon...

Good Morning
73° and a high of 85 today. Humidity is much lower than it has been, should be a nice day to be outside.

Yesterday was hot and humid, started with breakfast with the professor, then back to work on the old folks home. Met with the mason and picked out the stone. I asked him for his suggestion, he showed us a picture, and my wife and I agreed that he nailed it on the first try.

This was a barn that he did recently.
So with that out of the way it was back to the gas pipe. More cutting and threading-

But finally got it all done and pressure tested.

Got the air handler up into the attic along with the drain pan, air filter and line set. (All still in boxes for now).
Got a shower and was ready in time for the airport authority meeting, back home by bed time.

Today will likely start with a trip to Home Depot to pick up the bakers scaffolding that I ordered a few weeks ago. Then back to work on the old folks home.
Meeting tonight at the RC club field, I’ll charge up a model and bring it over to fly before the meeting.

Dang it sounds like lots of thunderstorms, and some rain, in so many places. Oh, for some rain! It's so, so dry here ...

103F again today. We stopped the days of 105F or higher at four. Still a couple more hot days then it cools down.

Everyone have a great day!!

Morning all, 76 going to 90 and we did get a few drops of rain last night.
Got first coat of varnish on slab table, 2nd coat today.

Hope all have a great day.

Be well,

At our front door again last night:
