Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.3C and it's presently 19.2C, mostly clear with a gentle breeze.

Yesterday's dhobi done, plus I gave myself a haircut. Exciting times, for sure. 😐

Looks like I'll get out there and do some more clean-up. The 'Liars' are predicting a windy day on Sunday.

That's about it, take care all.

42F and clear @ 21:30, calling for a low of 35F overnight. Yesterday's Frost Warning has been extended until tomorrow morning.

Woman and I tag-teamed on the tamping which went very well.

Got 2 more empty holes completely filled to within an inch of grade and tamped. Also filled and tamped another that was 3/4 full.

After that did a little pumpkin and winter squash harvesting.

Clockwise from left: 1 Honey Baby (the small one), the Guatemalan Blue, another Hubbard Golden, 2 Kentucky Field pumpkins and a pair of Mammoth Gold pumpkins:

Still have more Honey Babys and the Small Sugars to harvest tomorrow.

More egg foo young for dinner and then a quick run over to Home Depot for a couple fittings.

Another Watham Butternut was out of the oven by the time I got back so had that with butter and brown sugar for desert.

Heading down to the basement after this post to see if I can finish the plumbing on the new water heater and get it up and running.

imagine though, what would you do knowing a neighbor is on the fringe like that.

One of the neighbors that moved out a few years back before we bought here was known mafia.
Let's not forget your other neighbor, Cosmo DiNardo! :p

We have one other member on this forum who was much closer to ground zero on that one, IIRC.

Coffee is brewing. 34° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 63° with lots of sun. Yesterday's rain got us .01" of rain. Neighbor want to know if I wanted to go with him to Cabela's in Dundee MI. Of course it did. Haven't been there since I sold my boat. Then we stopped at TSC across the road. Had a nice lunch while out. When I got home another neighbor needed some large rock moved. Got some seat time. Grocery shopping this morning. Then back to yesterday's projects.
Doves are not happy I covered pond with nets.

David, (sodamo) nice tractor. 🚜 Is the LS gone?

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.
Not yet, goal is to get it spiffed up along with my old flail and available by end of month.

Morning all, 42 going up to 62 and sunny.
Needed to put in 2 t-posts, ground is so hard and dry that using the tractor they were starting to bend vs. go in. These are the thick metal ones. Last time I tried to use the tractor they went in easily. Ended up on a ladder with my 4lb sledgehammer to get them in a bit more.
That ground is dry and like a rock.

We were able to get tickets to see John Cleese at the Keswick theatre, I have always wanted to see him.

Happy birthday Buppies , hoping you and Holly get some more good memories.

Wow Sodamo, a cab, so does that mean you can mow in the rain :)

One of our neighbors had a big party last weekend. For the weeks leading up to the party they set up a couple of huge tents, then spent a few weeks building a large aluminum platform which looked to be about 100' square. Then came the walls and ceiling, all clear plastic panels.
This thing was larger than most houses around here. On the day of the party, they had 4 tour buses show up with the guests and had a live band. The spread had to be over an acre and lots of trucks in/out for weeks to build it up.
I have to check and see how fast they break it back down.
Bet that cost more than most people make in a year. The guy that owns that land is pretty famous in the medical world.

Be well,
No Ken, at least not on purpose. Mowing wet grass, wet slopes - not my thing. Shoot, my tractors & riding mowers have had lights, but don’t do after dark either. Privileges of the retired. 😁

Happy Birthday Buppies!

Personally I only celebrate the decade birthdays. #8 is coming next year.

Cat litter dealt with, tractor started as it should, on all three. Resistance on two of the glow plugs was 70 ohms and on the one 1900 ohms. He only replaced the one that was bad.

David, it is my understanding that Bobcat is made by Kiotis' parent company Daedong.
Ya, some sort of a relationship there. Seems my CT4545 is closely related to the Kioti DK series. I was aware and part of my decision process as I was quite pleased with my Ck30 years ago, to the point I sometimes wished I’d kept being pre emissions and all. We sorta have Bobcat dealer presence locally, but not Kioti. The Emissions warranty document in my owners packet is all Kioti.
