good morning all
71 out now only going up to 74 today in clouds, more rain this afternoon.
1.67 on rain gauge for yesterday

nice job on the bracket RS. Maybe you can coat it with something that won't corrode in that environment?

another Aussie word to look up
Lucerne is a nice city in Switzerland and a Buick I used to own.
But this lucerne is another name for alfalfa.

busy morning today, three stops and then home.
need to start getting serious about cleaning house for guests this weekend.
no excuses since it will be raining


hope you all have a nice day
Never put off til tomorrow what you can do the next day. ;)

72 and super foggy/mist. Looking forward to the needed rain from the tropical storm. Should see 87 later.

Real nice job, mpham. Better than new.

Sodamo, good news on Sophie.

Wife's mom fell and broke her hip late yesterday, soon after my wife left from visiting her...so back she went. She is already in hospice care, and the doctor said surgery was too risky. So pain meds may be the only answer.

I got some string trimming done...the battery outlasted me this time. Then took Della hiking at the park for her exercise.

well, well well
isn't this interesting
after I noticed I/we had disappeared off the "reaction" board, which we all call likes,
now it's been redone.
Good Morning rocks!

no wonder Muhammad had some issues with this...I get it now.

Yep, stats aren't kept on the front porch. Maybe it was just an experiement to see how post counts change without GM thread since it dominates the site. Also look at members vs guests, 359,593 members and there are 40 members and 1,821 guests online. Only those 40 members gonna see you if you post on the Front porch.

I would think keeping track of how many post and views in a thread would be a more accurate way to get a good count of forum. But how do you do that with 2000 guest and 40 members viewing all of TBN this morning. How many of those guest are viewing GM?

I'm ok with that.
no desire to be an influencer and my thoughts to this group
aren't designed for a wider audience.

but I'm really ok with those who want to go wider.
so now I'm confused.
I didn't check that page very often, but I think it was very different in the past. I wasn't even in top 5.
not that I cared.
It's more like a lot of other folks were cut out and our group surged forward. Though I think Hay Dudes count come
from another place.

it is considered inappropriate to discuss the site's operations after some point.
So far I think Muhammad has been very responsive to input.
But it's his bus to drive.
nothing is perfect but I think this is very good.
enough

Good Morning,
Ct, 61 to start going to 71, with heavy skies and rain this morning ! Most notably is the cooler temps this morning, I’m not complaining! 😉

Ron, that’s quite a flock this morning, your obviously feeding the whole army ! 😀

Drew, interesting observation on the post and thread board ! Kudos to BEF and you !

David, great news !

Looks like some inside time in the computer and hopefully some hiking time later today ! Need to get myself re familiarized with my rocking chair project.
I’m heading to Vermont on Sunday morning and will come home on Thursday. My hope is to get some much needed shop time on this project ! Will also need to get the lawn done but the primary goal is rockers !

Hope all have a good Wednesday! 🙏

For whoever wants to know, There is a thread on the Front Porch that explains why the numbers changed, go there and read all about it. You can even let the bus driver know if the brakes are on fire, but do it there. All I'm gonna say about it here, just a public service announcement.

70 deg, very little rain over night. might get the tractor out today and do something, but then again, as the leading procrastinator, I might not. need to eat first.

Good Morning.
70° and grey, both the sky and the temperature aren’t going to change much throughout the day, with rain likely.

Progress continues on the old folks home, yesterday got lots cleaned up for the insulators, but the big news was I got the heat pump fired up and making cold air.

I’ll be powering it down and removing the thermostats before the foam gets sprayed, but I wanted to validate the system while everything was accessible.

I was supposed to get an excavator dropped off yesterday, but the truck that was going to haul it had a brake failure. Fortunately it was in the yard where they loaded it up on the trailer.
So today, I’m borrowing a truck and will haul it here myself and return their trailer.
I’ve got to dig trenches for propane, sewer and electric from the generator. All of which will keep me entertained.

We have gotten over an inch of rain in the last 24 hours, that means I’ll have to mow again soon as well. So between the excavator, tractor and Lazer, I’ve got some tractor related content.
