Good Afternoon David, We are all curious how you made out with your tractor ?

Good Afternoon Dennis, Dennis, I think I got it straightened out. I also sent a PM to Muhammad explaining what happened, he said he might be able to change those posts back to Scott_vt. Anyways, I’m back again as Scott_vt !😉

Good Morning, Oh Boy !o_O

Good Morning Again, I am having problems with logging in under my Scott_vt user name ! This was my original post this morning! Ok, admittedly not good with computer! 😉

Good Morning, Ct, 64 to start going to upper 70’s. Cloudy with some drizzle now but clearing later this morning. Plans for today is bring Kathleen’s car in for service then come home and go for a long walk ! Pool needs to have a robot vacuum job. Also need to put in weekly chemicals since I...

Good Morning, Vt, 67 to start going to 72 ! Cloudy skies with afternoon rain and thunderstorms possible! Don, we have Prime and we still get delays ! The kiddos are gone, and we are cleaning up the aftermath! We would have stayed through the week but I have to bring Kathleen’s car in for...

Good Afternoon, Vt, our grand daughter had a melt down on the lake, major tantrum because she didn’t want to wear her PFD ! Had to turn the boat around and bring them back ! 😒 Then Kathleen and I went out for a nice ride ! Ted, there were people in the water, but I wasn’t one of them ! It was...

Good Morning, Vt, 58 to start going to 77 or do ! Another sunny day, some high clouds but not too bad ! Today will take the whole crew out on the lake. They just went to the children’s museum in Rutland for a couple of hours ! I need to make a dump run this morning, this crew produces a lot...

Good Evening, Vt, nice sunset this evening ! Mixed up some Ortho Ground Clear for my sprayer , hopped in the Ranger and drove up and down the DW and sprayed any grass or weeds coming up ! Have a good evening!

Good Afternoon Lou, You are 100% correct !

Good Morning, Vt, 45 to start going to mid 70’s. Another beautiful sunny day ! Kathleen and I got out on Lake St. Catherine for a short ride later yesterday afternoon, but had to get back to the house for the youngest son and his family ! It was quite windy but still nice out on the water ...

Good Morning Again, Here is the lawn, and our rhubarb has gone to seed, oh well ! Lots of work ahead ! 😉

Good Morning, Vt, 53 to start going to 76! Beautiful sunny day, low humidity but I have a lot of work to do before the rest of the gang gets here. The front lawn could be baled as hay its so high ! So it looks like I will end up cutting it twice. Thomas, I truly hope everything goes well for...

Good Evening, Vt, beautiful evening !

Good Afternoon David, Hoping for a good outcome on your tractor!! 🙏

Good Afternoon Fritz, Frits, I have mine on the back of my Polaris Ranger and pull the splitter around with it ! Very handy, I’m sure your splitter is much heavier than mine !

Good Morning Drew, Drew, I got caught again in the rain this morning about a mile from home ! That makes it twice this week ! The good news is that everything got watered around the house before we leave for Vermont ! ;)

Good Morning, Ct, 64 to start going to 77. Sunny now but increasing chance of thunderstorms later today ! We will be leaving for Vt later this afternoon. Mostly, right now filter still lower pressure but the water looks good other than the large amount of pollen on the surface. Nothing I can...

Good Evening Thomas, Excellent story Thomas ! He is like a family member ! 😉😁

Good Afternoon Drew, Thanks for all those great pics Drew ! Very cool ! 🙏

Good Afternoon, Fiddlearound, I forgot to mention what company I’m using ! GEICO for both my truck and Kathleen’s Honda CRV ! You might try shopping around a little, you may get a better deal elsewhere !

Good Morning Bill, Here you go! Bet you can almost smell it ! 😉😂

Good Morning, Ct, 60 to start going to upper 80’s or beyond ! I’m working today and hoping I will be done by early afternoon because of the heat ! When I get home will try and cut the lawn before heading out to Vermont on Thursday! Will also try and pack some stuff into the bed before it gets...

Good Afternoon Ken, Thanks Ken, the water looks pretty good but I’m confused by the filter pressure reading ! It usually starts around 20 lbs not 10 lbs ! Anyway we will let it run and see what happens ! 😉 I did put in the drain along the side of the pool so just in case we get another...

Good Morning, Ron, that is very sad to hear indeed ! I had many pleasant conversations with Bird through the years ! One that I remember in particular was about Quantico ! He took some law enforcement courses there and he answered some of my questions when my oldest son was accepted by the FBI...

Good Morning, Ct,55 to start going to 80’s ! A little fog now but burning off and the temp climbing fast ! Got pool cover off and pump and filter running ! Something is not right on the filter pressure reading. Only reading about 10 lbs in the filter gage and should have a start reading of...

Good Afternoon RS, RS, that happens to be my favorite pie ! That reminds me, my rhubarb should be ready to pick up at my Vermont house ! We will have to bring some strawberries along I think !;)

Good Afternoon David, David, Spot on ! My feelings exactly, do whatever you want but dont get in my face looking for me to endorse whatever activity it is that your doing or persuing ! JMO !

Good Morning Paul, It looks like you have a little rot on that lower corner ! I’m guessing too much shade and a lot of water was the contributing factor ! Now that the sun can hit it, should be good after being replaced!

Good Morning Don, Don, I pretty much echo what Mike and Paul have said ! I use a Polaris also, I forget the model number, but I have been using this unit for 6 or 7 years. It has two different programs. I use the 90 minute program, and it won’t go up the entire wall, only about half way. The...

Good Morning Dennis, Dennis, I try to keep it no more than twice a year unless I am really sick ! I hate to pay unnecessary copays if they aren’t needed ! 😉

Good Morning, Ct, 54 to start going to 71 ! Cloudy now, hoping for some sun later ! Yesterday they said today would be sunny and nice, looks like they missed the mark ! 😉 Drew, nice pic of spinach the other day, wondering if you eat it in salad or fry in a pan with some oil ? Did look...

Good Afternoon, TBS, we have talked about it but it seems we are leaning towards a property that is a little easier to manage without giving up our privacy and or not being told what we can and cannot do ! My dream was always to move to Vermont and spend endless hours working out in my wood...

Good Afternoon, newbury, this is the Ct lawn not Vt. I am one of those people that think they should own and maintain two properties !;);) So I am definitely on board with your thinking, because I am becoming painfully aware that it is very difficult to take care of both properties properly ...
