Outside chores done E muffin time.

Enjoy your day all.

71, wet to 80.

Plow, that sounds awful. Really hope you get better today.

BEF, neat looking lumber store. I'm guessing in Michigan.

Need to do a dump run yesterday, even though it was drizzling...Took Della and we did the fun hike to the river on the way home. Met one hiker out in the wet woods...had a Bernese mountain dog/poodle mix. Nice dog. Wife made homemade vegetable soup...so good, with a couple of those Cheesecake Factory brown rolls.

Good morning! 60˚F , up early to welcome Fall, it feel like it's really here now. only heading to the mid 80s.

After striking out on Ebay and the previous owners I ordered two wifi plugs for the outdoor landscape lights. I had to look around a bit for a physical connection that was to the side of the plug or bottom and outdoor compatible to fit in the stainless steel box. Didn't need an expensive control box, technology has an app for that and a $17 plug.

My above water robot skimmer came in yesterday and I charged it up last night. I still need to put a pool noodle vertical at the pool's skimmer so it won't get stuck there as recommended by the manufacture. It is also solar powered so I'll see if it will run all day on this full sun day. My neighbor, who is moving to Alaska gave me his pool noodles right after I ordered some from Amazon so another Amazon return. With the next-door neighbors house sold there are now no custom homes for sale in the neighborhood. The new neighbors will move in in the middle of October, can't wait to meet them.

PT was very strenuous yesterday and I felt a little sore last night but an Ibuprofen helped, still no narcotics needed. The physical therapist who helped me before the surgery said that my range of motion has surpassed the pre surgery limits that I had, now I just need to get my left arm stronger while continuing to push the range limitations trying to match my right shoulder. I started on weights in PT yesterday. Today is 4 weeks since surgery. Next milestone is 6 weeks when the limits are tested and all healing is supposed to be done.

Today's project, in these mild temps, will be to scrub/wash the outdoor furniture cushions and maybe my first time to mow the yard after surgery to give my wife a break.

Good morning, the low is 51 and going to a high of 68°F. Wind NW 5 mph. 30% chance of showers. Scotch mist right now.

IF it doesn't rain, then the lights will get done.

I got my new filter wrench and drill pump from amazon along with the genuine Kioti oil filter, all I am waiting for is the oil.

I just heard on Sirius-XM that you guys on the east coast of the U.S. are in for another hurricane. Stay safe!

I am going to wait and see what the MTO is going to say about my license. It is in their hands now. My 'A' license is spotless and has been for the past 20 years. The only accident I have been involved in was two labour days ago when that guy hit my trailers. He was charged with careless driving (admitted he 'fell asleep' to the cop). I am still dropping the 'A' to a 'G'. The A is for big trucks and dump trucks. The G will allow me to drive a car/pickup and pull a trailer up to 10,000 lbs.
Tickets and accidents have a bearing on their decisions, too.
My son has survived the past 41 years without a drivers license (never had one) so I think I can too. Cancelling my car insurance would save me $1471.oo/year. I could probably get 5 grand for the car. I WILL ask 5 and settle for 4500.
But first I need to hear what the MTO has to say.

You all stay safe if you are in the path of the hurricane. The rest of you stay safe anyway.

Paul are the painters going to put the poly on as well?

Yes

Last 2 days were 99% in bed sleeping due to cold/flu. Not used to such severity of symptoms. I'm guessing for a repeat today.

Everyone have a great day !!!

Oh my, hope you feel better soon.
Being that sick is no fun.

PT was very strenuous yesterday and I felt a little sore last night but an Ibuprofen helped, still no narcotics needed. The physical therapist who helped me before the surgery said that my range of motion has surpassed the pre surgery limits that I had, now I just need to get my left arm stronger while continuing to push the range limitations trying to match my right shoulder.

Hope it continues healing and getting stronger. The new 6 million dollar man!
Prayers for our team.

Good Morning.
65° with a high of 75 and a chance of thunderstorms.

Yesterday it drizzled on and off throughout the day, but we got less the .1 inches overall.
Painters are continuing to make progress, the backsplash got grouted, and the range got fixed. My only concern with the repair, is that he didn’t find anything wrong, just methodically unplugged and reconnected all the connectors, and it worked when he was done. He didn’t notice any that seemed problematic, so I don’t know where the problem was. But it works! I cooked lasagne in it for dinner last night. Wife thought I was nuts, walking over there to cook, until I explained I wanted to use it for a while to make sure that the repair was permanent.

Not sure what today will bring, a Costco run might be in order, I need to check the kitchen sink drain in the old folks home. It was dripping from where the basket seals to the sink. I went against my instinct and used the gasket that came with the basket instead of bedding it in putty like I always have. It’s now bedded in putty and didn’t appear to leak last night, I left the sink full and put a dry bucket under the drain, my guess is that it’s still dry, but we’ll see.

Tomorrow morning I’ve got to leave the house by 4:15 am to take a trip to Akron. Good news is that I leave Akron at 11am, so I’ll be home in time to get into some mischief.

Good Morning,
Vt,54 to start going to 64 ! Yesterday it never made it out of the 50’s even though they promised 64 ! So today we shall see !

I did manage to get the rest of the field bush hogged yesterday ! I’m glad I did because it’s pouring now ! Rained most of the night and looks like it will do more of the same today. We are heading back today, I have to work tomorrow!

I was happy to get at least some shop time in yesterday, and will go out there this morning and clean things up before we go.

is some way to store it to minimize coffee drying out

Mostly, could you just put the coffee in a sealed plastic bag ? Or better yet if you have one of those machines that sucks the air out of the bag ? Just a thought!

Bill, so I have to tell you what happened at my drug test last week. I was told that I didn’t need an appointment at Quest Diagnostics ! I arrived at 9:30 and checked in at their kiosk and sat down. About 20 minutes later a girl comes out to tell me I either have to wait until 1:30pm or just go home and then come back! I finally had to agree to all of this nonsense! The only plus was that my employer had to pay for all this wasted time, so I made a few extra bucks !

Hope all have a good Thursday!
