Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
a cool 63 out now going up into only high 70's today in clouds.
This cool weather is such a pleasant change, but it won't last.

headed out this morning to find some mums to plant, not sure they are in yet, then home for the afternoon
while cleaning ladies come. 900sf cottage not a lot to clean and they aren't allowed in my office.
Last time that happened one of them knocked a wire loose and it took me a while to figure out
what was wrong. So perhaps today I'll clean up my office a bit. Has a few new piles that got moved from
elsewhere

Bill, glad you got your lawn mowed; no rain here for awhile, maybe that cut will last a bit

slowly waking up
may the 19th of August be a good day for all

Good morning TBN!!
68 this morning with a little bit of clouds this morning. Slim to none chance of rain and a high in mid 80s
Should be a bit less humidity too

Yesterday was spent on the bridge again. I have another section done for Sat concrete (I think)
Plan on getting the pump and hose out to clean up some of the mud before pouring. Just a few things left to do I think.
That's the plan for the rest of the week unless I tackle the hot water flush kit I need to install.
More bridge, puttering and sorting too.

It's time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Good morning, the low is 55 and going up to 68°F. Wind ESE 8 mph. 30% chance of showers.

Chainsaw resharpened, may get out today and set the second log. These logs are elevated off the ground by concrete blocks. They are the sides for the foundation of the portable shelter (10X10X8') that will go over and around the oil tank. With the shelter elevated an extra 16" there will be plenty of ventilation. We are talking colored diesel here, not gasoline.

That is my day planned out.

Have a safe day all

67 outside right now, heading to mid 70's.

Not much accomplished yesterday. Started moving a mulch pile from a stump out of the front yard. From the tree work. Still have about 4o rounds out there too that need someplace to go.

Wife took MIL for a trip to Shenandoah yesterday, so I had some me time. Concentration returned enough to do real job work. LOL.

Will see how today goes. Lots and lots of meetings.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

.....

Then headed around back to start trimming limbs.

All it took was one trip up the ladder with the battery-operated chainsaw to decide I wasn’t going to be doing any more of that:
....

Not giving a good post score for the ladder and saw.

rswyan, you should be reported to the safety police. SMH. LOL.

Ran the steam boost cycle on the Speed Queen dryer to freshen up a load in dryer that had been sitting

we really, really do not bounce well any more.
falling off any ladder or roof will likely do serious damage
just need to be extra careful and hopefully have an assistant at bottom of ladder making
sure ladder doesn't move

I have a long very high quality manual pole pruner that is too hard for me to use for more than a minute
or two, too hard on my arms and wrists. So I'm admiring your variety of powered ones

M7040, may your undies now be extra fluffy.

Abut 60 here in Houghton MI this am with overcast and NOAA says we'll hit 70 today. Hopefully no rain but I'll need to mow again with the b powered mower. This is the most time mowing I've every done here over a summer. Need to complete my snow roller updating.

Ladders and limb sawing = trip to a ER.

Arly, just looked at a map and I thought my brother's place in Cedarville was far away, but Houghton is even further
out that peninsula to the West. You are almost in Canada.
looks like a wonderful spot to have a boat
and a beautiful area in general. Town of 9000 should be just the right size.
