Good morning!!!!

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!
70 this morning with high in the mid 80s, cloudy with a chance of rain.
Yesterday they were calling for spotty showers. We must have been the "spot". Ended up with a little over 4 1/2"!!
Spent the day in the shops bathroom doing some reconfiguring and much needed cleaning.
Have no idea what todays holds. But I should get started.

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

good morning all
looks warm and steamy out there, temps are on the rise,
going into 90's today. A sweaty day for many folks.

I guess I got the hummingbird mixture right because fun now that two or three hummers
are flying about. Birds don't know how to relax...either going full speed or fighting with others.
not exactly the kind of birds that sit around at a Cheers bird bar and yack together...like my little birds, where
they like to get six birds on one feeder, all chattering at each other. Hummers are more like jet fighters on patrol.

Ron, what tractor show are you going to?

lawn is starting to dry out a little here. 4 inches of Happy's rain would have been a flood here.

My township insists that we pay our taxes in two to four installments. I tried paying them all at once when I was working and the excuse they told me was the adjustment comes out in June and they never know how much they will go up. So it is the first 6 months and then the second 6 months. The only reason I split this bill up into two payments is because I didn't budget enough and came up $300.oo short. I've increased the property tax holding deposit (comes out of my pension check automatically) to $125.oo/month. In 6 months that'll give me $750.oo minus about $647. = $103.oo extra/6 months. The front struts on the Dodge are what put me behind the 8 ball. The tractor repair didn't help either.
The temperature at noon today on the East wall was 92°F. Didn't do anything except put the A/C (furnace blower) on at 8 P.M.

Yep.
I pay my taxes twice a year even when they're only due quarterly.
Somehow I got it mixed up this summer and when I went to pay I had missed the first quarter by a month. Summer, cottage visits etc. Dinged me just over $80 extra.
Hot today and the heat warning goes on. They're threatening us with a chance of rain this morning, but I doubt it.
It's like this spring. We didn't need any more rain. It rained every day or two.
They'd predict 10% chance and it poured all day.
Now this summer and we could really use some moisture and they predict a 90% chance and we get blazing sun and extreme UV.
Best job in the world is weather person.
If you messed up like they do you would be fired by Wednesday morning working any other job.

Good Morning,
Ct, 64 to start going to 90. Clear skies but the heat is coming in shortly.

Thomas congrats on the new job. Hope it works out for you.

I forgot to tell the guys on here that when we were at our friends beach in Sound Beach that my wife misplaced her watch and we couldn’t find it. She does this a lot We looked all over with out much success and finally I asked our friends if they had a hard tinned rake and I would come back to the beach and take over the area. On the 3rd pass I found the watch
Kathleen was overjoyed Of course I was quite proud of myself for finding it when I really thought the odds were against us

I listed my 1949 Super A a week ago and it appears that I have a buyer. He is supposed to come by Friday with the money. I hate to give it up but it’s sitting in the corner of the garage collecting dust.
Let someone else have the joy of owning it. I completely went through and rebuilt that tractor back in 2006. It’s never really been worked very hard. But I think it’s time.

Swim lessons today, so we only have 2 sessions left after today’s lesson weather permitting.

Hope to get out to a park this morning and make some contacts, the rest of the week looks busy and on Thursday a chance of some thunderstorms.

Hope all have a blessed day

72 and maybe T-storms as we climb to 89. Fully back to August weather.

BEF, nice to see the 611 is coming back. Our son and DIL want to take their daughter on the Christmas train this year.

Went to Kubota dealer and bought some filters and Super UDT2...a 2.5 gallon jug is now $74.53.

63 in Houghton MI this morning with a high of 76 predicted which is close to normal temps. Might mow the yard again for the billionth time with all the rain we've seen this late summer. Do love the ego mower.

Good morning, the low is 71 and going up to 86°F. Wind SW 7 mph. 30% chance of showers. Rained about 01:30 this morning.

A few years ago when I would be parking in blackfly and mosquito infested gravel pits all day, I had Permethrin treated shirts, well now I cannot get them anymore. Now that I am parked at home I don't have a need to go out and feed the bugs.

I think today will be another day of energy conservation.

Have a safe day all

good morning, 73 going to 88 sunny conditions

Pushed the rounds into a pile with the blade on the excavator. Now if I could arrange some help for splitting? Maybe a splitting party

Chimney was swept. Interesting how they used a cordless drill to run the bush up and down the 35 ft high chimney. The bad news was that there is deterioration the mortar and joints on the 3 chimneys that need repairs. Reviewed the drone videos of the condition. Repairs scheduled for next month

Took another look at the damaged ramp. It was likely damaged because I drove up too far and pushed the end stop
