Good morning!!!!

Ron give Sassy a pet for me

me too!
I wonder if any of those chew toys I left off there survived.

I think the fire company had 32 foot ladders early on, so heavy it took two people to use them and you had to coordinate
your efforts. Wood ladders were seriously heavy. Then no more wood and fiberglass and ? came in.
being nonconductive good quality for ladder.

I've restricted myself to a six foot stepstool.
always had weak knees on a ladder

still not very warm out but the garden is calling me.
tonight looks like last day in the ten day with night temps below freezing.
time to turn the water back on.
I really want to clean the outside windows after the winter.
when I windex the inside shows how much dirt is on outside.
I use the same brush I use on rv on windows, synthetic stuff works great, hose off.

enjoy your day

I agree! My 25 ft doesn't get stretched out very much anymore. Bought an 8 ft so I can get to garage doors and slightly above. Anything more then that and I will get a young buck to help me out

Buppies, Sassy got her pet. Now she wants more.
Drew, Sassy plays with one of the Toys. Another got destroyed by my son’s dog when they visited in October. Took her 3 days and lots of chewing. Still 3 left in the package.

Texas does not like changing clocks and in November we will probably vote on it.
The problem is what to leave it at Daylight savings time or regular time this is where the people divide up 50% one way or another. I prefer regular time.

I do early to bed and early to rise. Regular Time. But either time will work. Just stop changing it.

Drew we had a 35' wooden, and a 50' wooden Bangor ladder that had outrigger poles for raising it. It required 6 people to raise and lower it, by the book. We have done it with 4 good men. They both left with the 56' LaFrance Ladder Truck if memory serves.

learned something new today
but then I haven't driven a motorcycle in 50 years.
tapping on your helmet means police or danger ahead.
probably obvious to bikers but kinda like learning your ten codes for CB
that's a big ten four

got the last of the rv stuff out and packed in bins, now waiting to move all the gardening seed trays to
garden shed so the resulting garage space can be used for rv storage.
I have a 14 yo who will be my helper on that.
unless I get bored and do it myself

I made sure to leave the rv fully equipped, even with tp.
a whole crate full of spares and motor oils, spare power cord, power cord extension, surge protector, etc.
using disinfectant wipes cleaned out all the bathroom shelving and installed a new shower head to replace the one
that blew up from freezing. Rv is now ready to get plumbing fixed. Maybe I'll connect the water system later this week and see
if I can get something to drip.
hoping to get that 14 yo down there to work on this, not sure of his mechanical ability, he's smart
and uses tools so should be ok.
1. identify leak 2. take a picture of it 3. tighten clamp or install new clamp

had to laugh when I thought about rv shower head exploding from freezing, flinging seven different parts everywhere.
back in the day dragsters used to have to have safety cages of some kind around their engines to keep them from
rocketing out in an explosion.
easiest solution vs Popgadget 3D printing a safety enclosure for the shower head
would be to drain the line next Fall...

Good Late Morning Don and Ron,

I prefer regular time

I am totally on board with both of you guys ! I truly wish we could leave the darn clocks alone !

64°F and .57 inches rain

Minor shopping trip to town yesterday. Needed milk for the dogs oatmeal

Gas and diesel cans refilled, Tundra topped off , only $201.

Stopped at PO, but the 1 package I wanted is still on Amazon vacation. Amazing how they can split an order, ship the same day, both arrive at intermediate point 90 miles away same day, and week after getting the 1st one the 2nd is still lost.

Friend Keith coming over this morning to reboot my tiller while I’m gone. He has a deal to get fish waste that he turns into his soil.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
