Want some of mine, it's unusual not to see deer here every day. Usually eating my plants and ignoring the weeds.

The Stack Stacksocial has the full version and is cheaper. It;s what I run on home machines. https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/microsoft-office-professional-2021-for-windows-lifetime-license-5

Our dog goes into stores which openly allow pets. She is small and super friendly, but if I see someone giving me the look, I make sure she is restrained properly. It's good to socialize dogs, but I understand why some are scared. I got bit when I was pretty young by a German Shepard, yet we...

Did he change the oil on the bicycle too ? :)

Stacksocial sells office install pretty cheap, not the subscription. I need office unfortunately for some more complex macros and formatting.

Morning all, 76 going to 94 and sunny. Dog walk in town in the morning, some errands and afternoon in the pool. Passed by a neighbor who has a company doing his haying. Fixed leak on new sprayer. Needed a real washer, not the hard plastic one already installed. Nice to just drive around on the...

Morning all, 70 going to 90 and sunny. Will need to water a lot of stuff today. Unsure what will happen afterwards, maybe pool time? Happy birthday Ron ! That storm door took a two man team, the plastic brackets they give to do alignment did not help much. Was surprised how well it went in...

We used to have buckwheat "kasha" with noodles. Actually like it, for the one time a year we used to have it.

It's more expensive and crowded but still worthwhile. Snoopy rock. 4WD jeep tour to Broken arrow (Pink Jeeps). Lots of crystals and weird stuff too. And McDonalds with a different color sign, only place I know of that got them to change.

https://www.cruisers66.com/ Diner in Williams AZ Bryce is our favorite park so far. Monument valley, get to hang with the Navajo. They have the best teamwork I have seen anywhere in the world. Cave Creek Antelope Canyon, crowded but amazing Bryce

First time I saw those crickets was on my first work trip to LA, they look so weird with those smooth round heads. The hotel was really old and could not find anyone to restore it, shame though. For us the crickets get under the track in the sliding glass door, so when you open it, the "pop"...

Morning all, 74 going to 92 and sunny. Starting to feel hot, out watering everything. Got jig setup to start ripping the planks for the serving table. LS hope GD recovers quick Sodamo - home at last, back to day job, Be well,

Vinyl liner, so anything that might rub on the liner would cause damage.

My dog loves the pool. Trying to figure out though how to make a ladder or something so she can get herself out. Gets old fast lifting her every few minutes. She does not like to stay on a float either as it does not satisfy her herding instinct. She wears herself out, so we attach her to the...

good morning , 69 going to 90 and sunny. Got Diesel at $4.09/gallon, gas and propane. Good for another month now. Spent some time in the pool relaxing with the wife and dog. Then off to a local place for dinner. Son's friend was working the host desk. Rented the beekeeper and watched that till...

Trench cleaning time yesterday with Piranha bar. About 40 bucket loads of grass and dirt from about the last 100' of trench, leveled a bit, cleaned out more rocks. The raging river is ready for the next big rain. This gets very full, very fast in 2"/hour deluges

Morning all, 69 going up 83 and sunny. Happy fathers day! Spent about 4 hours yesterday removing silt from trench. First had to remove the grass, and found many more rocks (no surprise there). Dad still can't use his arms, and can't walk, so progress is slow. Out to dinner tonight. Might try...

We have about 20-30 feet of Asiatic lilies along the main road. Only one is left, deer ate the rest...... I have a few by the pool that they can't get to. back from shopping.

Morning all, 69 going to 83 and sunny. Storms were loud last night, but produced little rain here. May get out to use the tractor to finally clear up the silt/build up in the trench and take it back to manageable. I have a lot of coworkers around Toronto, they tell me even the suburbs are big...

In Philly, truck burned a bridge out, unfortunately the driver died. Seems like no one, including the driver checked the top hatch, or he may have survived. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/report-unsecured-tanker-hatch-spilled-out-gas-crash-destroyed-i-95-bridge-philly/3885117/

Sorry Pix, May Molly rip

My dog can certainly chill:

Morning all, 74 to 89 and sunny, thunderstorms later. Got some prep work for serving table done. Bridges for end alignment, cutting 2 x 4 to size etc. Today some more of that. Son's friends stayed over last night, pool was occupied until I sent them to apt at 10pm. BEF - pebbles needs a hockey...

We have similar warnings here now for tomorrow, and it's going to be a heat wave after. What are y'all doing up there sharing weather like that, :)

Seems like a good Idea, but I would probably bang my head on them getting on/off the mower. Maybe a slight backward tilt to the ROPs?

Would think it uses pretty available seals, taking it apart would be interesting. See quite a few people complaining on popping when temp changes a lot, but not squealing.

I put an 18K head on a 24K usable mini-split for the garage. I have a smaller head for supplemental, for in the house. Mine is a 22 seer, trying to keep running costs down, more money up front though. I still need to seal the garage doors better (2 standard wxh) but the 18K keeps the 900 sq ft...

Welcome to TBN, sounds like a very nice ride.

I use powerserve every container, I have 2 yellow 5 gallon containers and cycle them. Agree on the area or box for tractor parts and maintenance bits. Pins/filters etc. . I also have an ammo box on the loader arm for some tools and spare pins.

Drew, this you on your way ? Stolen from another site of course :)

Morning all, 73 going to 87 and sunny. Just re-potted some roses, some watering. Dog walk at peddlars village. Phil - your woodworking is amazing. I have trouble just getting a flat surface. Brother is out in Cali and visited my dad. He is in good spirits, but can't move around or eat solid...

I allow the ads (add blocker not enabled for this site) to generate revenue to keep the site up and functioning. With so many of my basic services and costs going up each month, no subscriptions for me. a yearly fee might work though as long as it's not crazy.

Morning all, 61 going to 79 and some sun. Got the mower deck hammered back out and finished mowing. Trimmed back the fig tree, it's a bit too happy. Son's last final for the year is today. Dad is out of the hospital and in Rehab. The rehab we wanted would not take him since he needs more help...

I just got the 16 gallon spot sprayer from NT and put it on my gorilla cart and wire to my lawn tractor. That size fits right in the cart, so worked for me,

Morning all, 57 going to 76 and sunny. Did get in the homedepot run, was about all I had time for after work. The twin fawns were playing out front while I worked yesterday, they really have fun playing tag. Be well,

I have a Betstco 48" Heavy Duty Flail Mower, FH-EFGC125. Works fine on the GC1720. Built ok. All I could afford at the time and works for my needs.

Morning all, 63 going to 78 and sunny. Got most of the lawns mowed, then bent the deck, again, will need to hammer it out a bit, but weld held. Dog walk at peddlars village after. Did some initial sanding on ash slabs. Hopefully today to HD to pick up rest of items needed for serving table...

Sorry to hear David, but unless you go the hard route, nothing will change. Unless you can get them to think this is what they both want.

Morning all, 69 to 80, had rain overnight. Got a lot of weedwacking, along the trail and cleaned out the trench, again. Got the pool ready for the teen invasion. They were in there until 12. I had them go to quiet mode at 10pm though. If grass dries out then will mow the side fields. I did...

Since we have so many dead ash along my short trails, it's been to dangerous to maintain them. A few already dropped onto the trail and still a few more large dead trees shedding limbs. But the trail from my garage through to the shared road is in good shape, so I went along it and knocked down...

I use Deer Out, but after heavy rain need to respray. I bought some peppermint oil, was thinking of trying that. They also do not go near my sage (the spice plant, not the fancy ones) . They avoid it by a few feet at least. Some people like the Irish spring soap, but we had a problem with the...

Morning all, 72 going to 81 and sunny. Did a dog walk early in town, day job, over to Drew's for door measure. Spent evening going over game plan for dad. He is now joking and hurting, he still forgets he can't just get up and walk. GF is angry with us as hospital etc. calls my brother not her...

Rare around Central NJ, I avoid the area as much as possible. Always see car parts on side of road.

PA does inspections and it's fine with me. NJ used to do full inspections, when they stopped, the change was very visible. People with bumpers taped on, visible rust. Crabbing, bald tires. Actually had someone skid into a curb in light rain as they had 0 tread on their tires. We have steep...

I use traps and bags. Place at least 20-30 feet away from what you don't want them to eat. Works pretty well for me, usually 2-3 traps, replace bag every few weeks until they disappear.

I didn't see the site that comes with it's own chef and butler :cool:

Morning all, 67 to 83 and cloudy. Drizzled a bit yesterday, as soon as I went out to do raking. But did get the raking done, filled up the gorilla cart a few times. I use that thing almost every day. Lawyers told us to back off the decisions for dad, up to his GF, since largest source of funds...

We still have maybe 2 , just cleaned and refilled the one feeder. It still was 1/4 full, but getting too old , one of the HB flew over to the window multiple times to let me know.

ever been to Dysart, Dudley, Harcourt, Guilford, Harburn, Bruton, Havelock, Eyre and Clyde . Understand it's about 4 hours from the shores. Looks nice there, but how do you say the name ?

Firefox on Windows. Screen print just shows the page, not the motion

Morning all, 73 going to 84 and cloudy, rain later. Got about 1" rain yesterday. Started raking up the cuttings from the bushes, managed to at least get a few piles before the rain started and I got soaked. Now it's a mess to clean up when it gets drier. Dad finally got his operation, seems he...

I keep getting adds that make the whole screen shake and I have to close the page. I would tell you what the add was, but the screen is moving up/down/sideways and can't read anything.

Could be in PA, Middletown station (Pennsylvania) - Wikipedia Or NJ or ...

The person hosting this video is in Western PA, but I can't see anything in the video that would say where this is. I don't remember seeing one of these when they redid the Amtrak tracks through Princeton Junction. They had 3 or 4 machines to do that change out. then they came back to replace...

as a little kid I thought coffee cans were invented to hold bacon grease :) My mother always had one.

I would think for EVs they broadcast their data back home. Maybe the thinking is to somehow change laws to get access to that data to charge for road use. Then would also need to know the road use is within CA, so they would need location data too. Could see a lot of "feedback" if CA charged...

Morning all, 64 going to 85 and very cloudy/foggy Got the bushes trimmed, need to clean up the mess today. Another dog tick on me, the premethrin certainly slows them down as it was still wandering around slowly. Fathers operation was moved as Dr. had an emergency. Need to call up nursing...

My son at the drum game. Some of these games are room sized, with dozens of them lined up.

For Microwave popcorn, I just buy bags of kernals. Put a tablesppon or so in a paper lunch bag with a little salt. fold over top of bag. 2 minutes (YMMV) and popcorn is ready Can add other stuff as needed. Tokyo - Robot restaurant- love the Shinjuku area at night. Akihabara for...

Morning all, 67 going to 87 and sunny. Got the fallen tree bucked and stacked. Did some watering. My father tried to escape the hospital, tore off his collar and started going crazy about people stealing his things. Then he fell and was put back in bed. He goes in for surgery this morning...

I have the M18 quick lock pole saw/string trimmer. Been happy with both. Need at least 3 batteries for me to do each section with the trimmer, about 2 x 150' x 6' wide slope and trench. Not sure if it's up to your task as I run the 3 batteries and do the next 150' section some other day. Pole...

I use the 5/8 bull line , but use a throw rope with weight to go over the branch. Bull line is too heavy to throw. What I have, but got on sale: https://www.bartlettman.com/products/deluxe-folding-cube-set?_pos=16&_sid=5011efac8&_ss=r

Morning all, 70 going up to 86 and partly cloudy. We've been having quite a bit of lettuce here, thank you Drew. Trees planted, bug balls got the sticky treatment to reduce the horse and deer flies, ouch. Then took dog into town to visit son at work. BBQ the ribs, quite a lot for $20, will be a...

Morning all, 74 going to 83 and sunny. Started yesterday cutting 7' ash planks, after that went to sams club and picked up a rotisserie chicken for dinner and ribs for tonights dinner. Son went with friend to see friends dad's band. Cocktails on the back deck while watching the sun set and the...

2 apple trees, will plant today. My Echo 620p started right up this morning, canned gas, sitting a few month.

Fuddy is a grandpa - Congratulations! Drew stopped by and dropped off lettuce, huge bag, but I was out back with the chainsaw milling planks and never heard him. 2 apple trees showed up, so that will be on the schedule for me to plant tomorrow. Tired from making the planks, close to 8' each x...

Morning all, 63 going to 82 and sunny. Son is off to take his SATs. Garage door is reset and working fine, once I got the little gear that controls the limits back into it's clip :cool: Then went into town with wife for drinks, crowded, but not too bad. Today , time for the weedwacker, car...

at HD, I watched a guy forklift a load to a high shelf, which touched another pallet of goods and landed at an angle. So now 2 pallets of heavy stone with one resting partially on the other. I got bored and left after a while of watching him smack into the one pallet to try and shift it. After...

takes longer than my old brushcutter that has the 10", but my Stihl FS110 specs that size. YMMV. The FS110 has a nice metal shield, and is a lot lighter that my old bc, so can use the shoulder strap vs. the full harness, and I last longer..

agreed, what I use...

let me know if you need help.

Morning all, 53 going to 77 and sunny. Just worked on the pool yesterday. fawns are back today. Drew - Hope the new doc works out. my radishes have great leaves, but super tiny roots. Who knows what'll happen today. Be well, Seems I am now raising micro radishes The fawns that snuck up on...

I try to keep some of the brush for wildlife cover. My hope though is to get the rocks and chunks of fallen ash moved so I can use the flail to cut this down without using the brushcutter too often. The smaller trees, autumn olive and the like don't get damaged by string, but the blade works...

Morning all, 55 going to 73 , had 3/4" rain last night. Feel like spring is back. Did get the cable replaced on the pool robot, not too hard. Wife wants me to make 2 Ash slabs for a serving table. Chainsaw, circular saw and router all ready :) Don - Homemade hotdogs, sounds like I could use...

I lost one of my sprinklers, could not find it anywhere. Went and bought a new one, and thought, hey I'll put this in the garage until spring. Put it on the shelf, right next to the old one, which had been sitting there the whole time. The funniest was still the missing bolt from the other...

Working in NYC for 30 years, rude is an interesting way to define this. Most people are nice, but want to get on with their life. I spent a lot of my childhood between western rural MA, NYC and LI NY. I like rural and City, suburbs can be a drag. Getting to be in both to me makes the other...

People are not rude in NYC, they just hate other people :cool:

I've had the Stihl for 6 years. Always a pain to start. Even new air filter/plug changes nothing. It is finicky on gas/oil mixture, even after tune up. it hates 40:1 , loves only 50:1 canned gas. even when I mix high test at 50:1 it does not like to start. I do the choke on until I hear it...

I have a 620P and 490 chainsaws, a handheld blower and an extended hedge trimmer from Echo. All start easy and run well. The 420 has quite a few hundred hours on it. The Stihl FS110 is the hard starter and is super picky about fuel. Once it starts it will run well all day. Next day, back to the...

We use swales here to move water around the house since I live on the side of a hill. Trenches where we need to move a lot of water fast.

Morning all, 61 going to 77 and sunny. Got some fallen flowers/leaves blown off the driveway. Got the gear replaced in the garage door opener, now have to do the reset. Old gear was mush. Lou - glad the Mrs. is home and recovering. Glad you got the tree sliced/diced, just be careful not to push...

New gear assembly for my garage door opener.

They tried red light cameras in NJ. One company I worked for got 72 tickets, for a backhoe working and intersection, with a police escort at the time. Seems the company was sending them out instead of the police, which in NJ was against the law. Eventually this died on the vine there, and in PA...

Morning all, 68 going to 80 and sunny. Got the lower deck , benches, tables etc. powerwashed. Pretty much done with that. Then the rain started, good time to chill wan watch war movies. Saw tigerland for the first time, good, but depressing. Yesterday a bunch of Turkeys wandered through, they...

Morning all, 72 going to 79 and rain later. Strong storm last night, but don't see any damage, yet. Got the upper deck pw , then did chairs tables etc. and started the lower deck. only a small part done after I cleaned the stairs. Then finished cleaning the pool and hung out there with the wife...

I got a best buy yesterday which was half screen middle of page to right side. Other than that it just slows down page load and scroll.

Morning all, 76 going to 82 and sunny. More work on pool, now in good shape for use :) Started upper deck PW and water hit the outlet on lower deck tripping breaker. Waited for outlet to dry and just took a break instead, will do upper deck later. Ordered new cable for pool cleaner. $180 is...

Morning all, 72 going up to 86 and sunny. Early morning run to pick up salt and chemicals for pool. Swapped out to heavier springs on garage door opener, ordered new gear kit, that was <$20, much cheaper than 200+ for a new opener. Not sure why the last set of springs lost their spring. :-(...

Morning all, 73 going to 86 and sunny. Powerwashing the pool deck continues. Found 2 hornets nests, hopefully deactivated them last night. Need to mow after I finish pool deck. Back deck PW will need to wait so my back recovers! Also need to change out garage springs and see if I can fix the...

We are up to over 8 billion people. In 1970 we had half of that. This doubling has caused untold starvation and damage to water supplies and led to deforestation for farming in Asia and South America. We are already getting closer to Soylent green. While net change is lower this year, it's...

Cicadas don't bite and are harmless to humans and pets. Provide food for all sorts of creatures.

Along the same line, though not framed too well as I did not want to disturb the nest once I saw the babies:

Well, on the wifes car I got the drivers side switches working again and sealed off with silicone the open door mirror pivot that caused the issue due to the mirror being knocked off. Fold back mirrors do not like hitting garbage cans sticking out in the road. That upward hit certainly made a...

I use plain water since some will get into the pool. Could use mild bleach if I wanted, but then that would get into the grass. That' why it takes so long. Don't even use the high pressure head as it has a tendency to tear into the concrete of the pool a bit. Grit in pool is not good. On the...

Morning all, 68 going to 82 and calling for rain/thunder Spent a few hours powerwashing the pool, the rain + pollen really put on a thick layer. But plowing through, a but over 50% done. Didn't get to anything else. The garter snake that lives under the cement umbrella weights got fussy with...

Morning all,64 going to 87 and sunny. Got the pool cover stowed with my sons help and started powerwashing the pool surround , that will continue today and then off to the rear deck powerwashing. Still need to fix garage door springs/motor. Kyle - with our son it's all about earning rewards...

I think I saw 3 cicada killer wasps and one cicada. Last year not many cicadas either, but lots of the wasps from the previous years cicadas, which still weren't that many. Those cigars with stingers look menacing, but never seem to bother us, just don't step on their nest holes.

We try to book in country where available. Usually saves a lot of money, but watch conversion rates. Our South Africa trip booked through my companies local travel agent saves us close to 50% over US booking. Watch also for different taxes on rooms local vs. remote. Right now dealing with...

Morning all, 60 going up to 84 and cloudy. Got pool cover folded and diving board installed. Will get son to help finish putting cover in bag for storage later. Pool cleaning still ongoing. The nest when I got close is not YJ , it's bees, no wonder why they were ignoring me. Now have to see if...

Those borders won't close themselves. There are literally billions of people waiting to come here to get away from their failed governments. Think ours is corrupt, this is childs play compared to some countries. Cheap labor,

Have fun, we have friends from Philippines , Big family, all really nice. Just don't push yourself in that heat. We learned to have a bottle of cold water with us to pour over our head if it got too much. Towel is a great idea. pictures of Baguio please, sounds nice.

Wouldn't that be people without color :) I sometimes think DEI, the E stands for Exclusion :) Don't let it get to you, just another day of wackiness in a wacky world.

The US population is up 53 Million from the year 2000. That only includes what the census found ( who knows how much more it is). That's why we have housing shortages right now.

For Jews and Muslims, beef will do, but fish is easiest. No pork etc. For Hindi's , no meat only veggies. I have friends of all the above (plus one of cousins kids is vegan), and usually just make something neutral, like plain pizza. They can stop by the grill if they want to, but that will have...

More road taxes punishes the people who can least afford them and squeezes even the middle class. Better, cheaper mass transit helps more, but we get more and wider highways instead. Seems like the oil company profits are up quite a bit, wonder why :cool...

Importing and then making it unnecessary to integrate, by providing free food/housing/education is not how my great grand parents were welcomed here. They landed in neighborhoods that were welcoming and then spread to multiple states after learning the language and how to get along with others...

Third world uses left hand.

We are going in that direction with my dad and his GF. He is doing the random memory thing and can't get into/out of a car easily. His GF has heart and drinking problems. My Uncle, his brother is also going downhill at the same time. Both on opposite coast from me and my brother. I hope you can...

Tolls in NJ and NY went up while saying how the poor should use Mass transit, while reducing the funding to Mass transit and building wider roads and working to raise the cost of mass transit. All while raising the gas tax and parking at the train stations. Being working poor in this area has...

I am sure the people in the third world having no money and 6-10 kids will fill in any gaps in first world population. Instead of integration, we will see more groups trying to change to what they came from. Well that will at least reduce the need for toilet paper.

Morning all, 55 going to 78 and foggy. Got the pool area cleaned up and then opened the pool. Still need to get the cover folded and the diving board installed. Yellow jacket built a nest under the cement, so will need to take care of that since it is right where I need to work and by the bar...

This fawn is quite happy running around.

Morning all, 66 going to 75 and cloudy. Did get most of the vines removed from the bushes and got 2 bags of mulch down before the rain made everything too slippery. My son works in New hope he had to park past the high school, as even there they were charging a $10 fee. Told him to leave...

Morning all, 63 going to 67 and rain. Picked up another 10 bags of mulch this morning. Lawntractor deck welding went well, if it ever dries up out there I will go put the deck back on the mower. Still have to clear out the trench from all the flooding debris, but at least I cut back the growth...

Don;t see any income ranges for this, I will look more later.

More mulch, seems the side garden eats this stuff.

Going to HD tomorrow, maybe will see something interesting for this thread :)

When a portion of the woke keep terrorizing and stepping on others rights, it's not easily corrected. Look at the KK K and others who marched down main streets for decades. We seem to have a lot of "movements" now that want to use fear and riot to push their point on others. Not an easy fix...

Morning all, 60 going to 72 and cloudy Spent a few more hours playing catchup with the trimmer. Then off to the son's choir concert, also had the bands and orchestra, so a long night. Great ending music with all of them on stage, and barely room to move. Today need to get more mulch, finish...

in Europe those little trucks are used everywhere for delivery, mostly crates. You see them all morning long. They don't go on the highway. Workhorses.

looks good, does it affect pressure at all?

i think it was focused more on the urban truck owner whose truck bed has never been opened no less used. Unlike most people on here whose trucks are used as trucks. I have a jeep GC, most others in my area are surprised when they see it out in the field, or filled with mulch or plants or scrap...

Morning all, 63 going to 69 and cloudy. I got the deck on and mowed the areas I missed the other day. Then took the trimmer out and went through three batteries the grass was so tall and wet. Still have more to do, but at least it's neater by the the shared road now. Grilled some salmon for...

Still only have one or two, that I see. One does come close and interact when I am out on the deck where the feeder is. It even visited me when I was gardening hoping for a shower when I was watering the veggies. Hovered for a minute or so. I have found nests at the end of the summer, so I know...

Lunch is ready for the babies.

When I worked with my dad, I had to fix the screws he stripped :)

I had tulips, deer love to eat them. However, I will say some do come back even after being eaten! Good luck with them, might be able to check the bulbs once the green is gone, see if they still look healthy, that is how I know they are still viable. Should not be too shriveled up. I moved 5...

Morning all, 59 going to 63 and rain. After work went and took deck off mower. Sharpened blades, greased spindles. Deck has a rip, will need to do some more frankenwelds. Drew - great news. Good luck on the ENT, we have had some pretty bad ones locally. Don - congrats on the new place, hope ti...

I had to staple my fence down as the ground hogs would get underneath...

morning all, 54 going to 76 rain later. Got the new plants planted. Spent a few hours mowing. Forgot one area :unsure: Will see if I can do that and get some trimming done before the rain starts. Peach tree still shows no sign of life..... L4N best news for a while-glad you went in and still...

Seems like it would be messy, did find out the mice here like to eat the soap :unsure: Might try this on edge of the garden.

Maybe a review on the solar one when you've had it for a while? Cost for these?

Sad stuff

Morning all, 50 going to 73 and cloudy. Mothers day went well, if a little quiet. Off with son to get flowers. Then later with wife to get plants which I will need to put in, hopefully today. I also bought a few tomato and pepper plants as mine are not doing well. I am a bit out of sync right...

Morning all, 49 going to 55 and rain. Got the oil change, fuel filter and air filter all changed out on the tractor. No issues, all went as expected. Then took the dog to peddlars village to socialize. She got mobbed with kids. My father moved to San Diego right after my son was born. My In...

Welcome to TBN Taryn. Lots of Kioti owners here for you to ask questions. Have fun with the tractor.

In my field, most of the employment sites are automated and ask if you have a degree and in what. This is used to put you into the bin if you don't have at least a bachelors. Sad, but automation doesn't care how well you would do at the job, or how qualified once you click on no bachelors...

Morning all, 56 up to 63 and sunny, yeah it finally stopped raining. Not much done yesterday, too tired after work. Mostly - hope the estate work finishes soon with no glitches Wngsprd - Puppy ! Pictures needed please. Buppies try to watch a happy movie or read a funny book before bed, Be...

I have wild raspberries which shoot and propagate by birds and animals. The blackberries I planted in chicken wire cages so they just run up the wires. I only have 2 of the blackberries. If I want raspberries, there are so many I just grab a few, so does my neighbor. They have a tendency to...

I have not seen that on my two blackberries, but birds will spread them quite well. YMMV

We have at least one mating pair who talk to each other across the woods. They are really great at stump removal too!

Woody Woodpecker time - Pileated version

My dog hides under my desk during heavy rain and thunderstorms. Here she is investigating something smelly.

Morning all, 50 going to 56 and rain Since the rain watered everything, I just took a walk around and didn't do much else. Scotty - I started with an 18" wide by 12" deep trench, it's now 4 feet wide by 2 feet deep and 150' long to keep my pool from looking like a mud bath. It held during 7" of...

Morning all, 61 going to 72, WU says sunny , clouds say not Got most of the mulch put down in the front beds and the side garden, certainly could use more mulch. M7040 sorry to hear D has a torn meniscus. How long to heal ? Drew feel better. Buppies did you get any sleep? Rhododendron just...

I think my neighbors spent 40K on theirs 4 years ago, labor is high around here. They did a crappy job on seeding in, so we went over and fixed it before it turned to a mud mound.

:cool: Probably medical, but we do have some politicians and big wigs in the area. takeoff was within 4-500 feet of my house in the next field over. Maybe 10 min from landing to takeoff. Former President came in by Helo when he did a speech, that was at the end of my street. I am just the...

Just had a Sikorsky S76c land and take off from a house behind me. That was loud.

We got 7" a while back and it caused lots of damage, can't even imagine 10" no less 20". Even when I worked in South America, they usually got an inch or 2 each day, for months. 4-5" would be normal on quite a few days. Glad you all are doing ok with all that water coming through

How do you stop the soap from getting wet and breaking down?

Morning all, 66 going to 86 and thunderstorms Yesterday got some veggies planted and some new flowers planted. Cleaned up a bit and ran out of energy. While watering the garden, a hummingbird came over to try and get a shower. Funny birds. They will stop by the window and hover when they want...

The deer just stare at my dog and don't run until she chases. Her smells don't bother the deer or fox.

Morning all, 58 going to 80 and mostly sunny. Got the peach tree and some other plants planted. Found third tick of the year. seems to me lots around after another mild winter. Sorry about the car gstrom99 - glad you are ok Happy birthday M7040 ! Drew - if you need anything let me know...

Good to see you back LS. Sorry to hear the troubles are still going. Hope they resolve soon.

Pretty depressing so far. Though some of Jezz antics are certainly entertaining.

The deer love our sprinklers, nice bath on a hot night. The motion lights seem to help them see what they are eating. The deer off seems to work, but does not last long. Lavender and lemon balm also seem to keep them away, but only maybe 10-20 feet. The mice did chow down on the soap bar. I use...

Morning all, 55 to 74 and rain. Got garage cleanup done and son readjusted drums. Got LEDs wired into fluorescent fixture after getting it back up on ceiling. I even vacuumed the floor. Old shop vac still works pretty good. Then got brushcutter tuned up and cleaned some saws. Not much else. Back...

Morning all, 51 going to 58 and rain. Cinco De Mayo today. Also, last frost chance according to local farm stores. Did not go to brewfest or the derby party. Did not feel well after breakfast. Still not feeling well. Wife went to brewfest and son and friend stayed at our friends house and later...

Tank of gas at $4.17. Another $80 I'll never see again.

Adding my son to my car insurance was $300/month. During the school year he does not get many hours at work. School lunch is $200/month. Supplements for him going on dates/out with friends about $100/month. Food, well that is expensive, he's a teen, so that $1450 does not sound so far fetched...

spark plug and filter for my brushcutter. time for a tune up.

Morning all, 52 going to 62 and rain is slowly coming in. Too bad as we are off to beer fest with a big group of friends later. https://www.washingtoncrossingbrewfest.com/ Too bad I can't drink anymore :-( Did get the tractor out and moved more fallen ash to the pile. And got the brushcutter...

Morning all, 56 going to 65 and see some sun. Gonna feel chilly being under 80 degrees. Got the weedwacker out and did some of the back area, went through 2 batteries and came in to start dinner. Brush cutter wouldn't start, ordered new plug and filter, plug looked pretty bad, so hoping that...

Morning all, 56 going to 86. Got more sanding/mud done on ceiling in basement. Should be able to finish sanding today, and hopefully paint and clean tomorrow. Trim piece stained, not need to cut and fit black backing trim and install for Dishwasher. Moved a few large branches and bits from the...

A little woodwork, this is just a few branches off a larger fallen Ash. Moved the bits above the crotch earlier. Forks are so useful, but wish I had a grapple

Welcome to TBN!

Morning , 58 going to 79 and sunny. Last nights rain took about 3 seconds to finish. Did get 4 side areas mowed. Wifes new tire was $250, run flats are big money. Today hopefully get back to sanding and finishing the ceiling in the garage and finishing up the trim and skirt for the new...

We have no real E0 places in this part of the state or the next state over, unless you want to fight your way into an airport. For my 620p I use canned gas. For everything else E10 high test with Stabil.

I have to cage the roses here or the deer will eat them to the ground. Mine are still on bud stage, everything getting ready to flower out.

Morning all, 57 to 82, calling for rain later. Gotta mow 2 of the side areas before the rain, hopefully. Need to plant the new peach tree. Did get the sanding and second layer of mud, to sand tonight. Buppies, hope they got everything so you don't have to go through this anymore. Heal quick and...

While that is very cool, I am imagining this like NJ transit. Trains breaking down on the tracks, trash everywhere. But at least their won't be fires happening all the time on the old tie piles. I always wondered if NJT started the fires, since it's so hard to dispose of the old creosote ties...

I have not eaten at McDonalds in almost 50 years. Not sure I ever missed it. Probably been 35 since BK. I think I had 5 guys 3 times lat year. Usually make my own burgers. Can't think of any fast food burger or chicken chain that I have been to in decades. Going to buy a new tire for wifes car...

Morning all, 63 going to 87 and fog clearing to sun. Got the new insulation up in the ceiling, and a piece of sheetrock up and taped. Now the fun of sanding and smoothing, something I am terrible at. Usual dog walk at peddlars village. Then we got a flat on the wife's car. Tried plugging it...

We have had at least one on the feeder for the last two weeks. Their nests are kind of like little round balls of sticks and moss here. I have found a few over the winter. We usually only see a handful each year.

Morning all, 55 going to 82 and sunny. Opened ceiling in the garage, other than some water stains and the sheetrock needing to be replaced, not much damage at all. Will try to close it back up today. Did also get the trim cut for the new dishwasher, needs to be stained now. 10 bags of mulch...

Today's alarm clock:

We had tars at most of the bases I worked at. They usually stayed tethered to a pier or secure area and I don't remember seeing them move.

I miss scuba. Went on a lot of great adventures:

Hard to imagine this was a thriving Rail line along the Canal in NJ. Picture at Lambertville Station Restaurant looking up the Canal and the last bit of rail left.

Morning all, 55 going up to 61 and sunny, will be getting warmer going forward. New Dishwasher is in and works great, thanks for all the feedback on that. Went and finished trimming the bushes along the road and in the front of the house. Took down another small dead ash, and with it a few...

Just make sure your neighbors don't see that :-(

I can take off ads easily, but that cuts into tbn revenue.

Thank you :)

California has a new ADU law for rentals. https://www.californiafoundationworks.com/can-an-adu-be-rented/ We are already seeing them advertised.

Here we go again, not easy to get around:

Morning all, 34 going to 64 and sunny. Feels even colder Went and trimmed most of the shared road. Dropped a few smaller dead Ash 4-8" with the pole saw. better than letting them fall into the road. Then cut up a few more than were already on the ground. Hedge trimmed the bushes and pole saw...

Would love to see a review when you have put it through the paces.

Morning all, 45 going to 56 and partly cloudy. Ended up buying a bosch 800 dishwasher, hoping it shows up soon. My brother went to Cali to visit my Uncle and see what is up with my dad. Seems dad is in bad shape, house is a mess, he is having trouble walking and is losing coherence, doesn't...

Bought a dishwasher, current <5 year old one decided that holding water was optional.

Do not park near any Ash, this is so sad.

Morning all, 48 going to 71 and rain. Just as things were drying out.... Got some more weed wacking done around back area and trench. That was about it for yesterday. My transfer at work finally came through, May 1st official in my new group at same company. Though I have been working that...

Get well David!

I guess nothing dangerous on board, or it would have caught fire ?? :cool: What a statement.

Look at this from both the place to live and as an investment. Paying down a loan contributes to the funds you have in retirement. Calculate the payments you can afford and that can tell you what you can comfortably buy. Include tax, insurance, some money for upkeep, HVAC costs. and importantly...

Should be somewhat easy to check. Call another WV RE office and ask them what their basic terms are if they show you a property. In NJ a lawyer has to be involved, but not a RE. In PA a RE has to be involved, but not a lawyer. Someone should be able to tell you how this works in WV. Good luck...

I have many little rolling hills, when carrying something heavy, rops up, set belt on. When light and flat, rops down. Rops has already saved me some head hits with falling branches and side swipes when the slope was muddy and I slid a bit. With hills and rain gullies, the rops are required...

Morning all, 38 going to 69 and sunny. Got some weedwhacking done, new spotsprayer/waterhauler arrived. Filled it up, connected to lawntractor and drove around watering things, so nice!. Welcome back Mostly, glad the trip went well. BEF - I hope the RE agent issues work out ok, some agents...
