good morning all being among the living is a good thing Bill (y) hope you are feeling ok another cloudy day, a friend coming over after lunch to help me with my laptop, which on email got zoomed in all the way and I can't get it back. I'm sure it's something simple but I need the laptop in...

one of the most helpful things I take along on rv trips is my small Makita blower. I love the shore but the sand tracked inside is a problem. so I keep the steps blown off and it helps. staying at Cape Henlopen park, which looks like a lot of sand here, will definitely go for walk over to the...

this young couple are farming and videoing like mad. She is very articulate and just believable. Having planted row crops and waited for them to come up, when "that first hint of green" is seen, like I saw today driving through Solebury looking at the fields. The first of the corn was popping...

Ken, full grown tulip poplars are beautiful. That was the memorial tree my family got to be planted along the graveyard in Wrightstown. spent half an hour on phone making doc appts. Went back to first place, whined a little more, and turns out the day my nuclear stress test is given, the...

first I thought it was the Northern Tools one, always lusted after that sold by Messicks fine looking machine with a run forever engine

Boy that looks nice Don. Soon you will be barbecuing away there. is that a fridge, freezer or ice machine?

speaking of dead people... not sure we'll ever know but something was sure fishy about that JFK shooting. what a horrible time for our country. I was 13 and it was the first time I had understood what danger there was out there. Someone killed our President! Worse it was my sister's...

good morning all a cloudy 61 going up to 68 today, cloudy all day picking up some cheese steaks from NJ Mikes later this morning and taking them over to BIL who is home with his new knee. I hope this second knee works great for him. Once his wife said they had already talked to someone about...

the current was very strong the tide was high he just lost it Tug boat operator pushing two fuel barges from Galveston dock, lost control and barge hit a bridge, spilling oil. Not a good day on the water today. Do they eat shrimp out of Galveston Bay??? nice quiet afternoon. Decided to just...

Groin vault goes back to Roman times, two older barrel vaults joining at right angles, cool way to strengthen the roof. that receptacle could be used for a welder, washer/dryer and for sure an EV charger. Would be interesting to see what breaker is rated for. Don, how exciting. Enjoy

good morning all raining lightly here too, all day looks like, .36 on rain gauge Bill glad you are feeling better. You just had a serious wake up call. CT scan said my heart had partial calcification. Makes we wonder about the calcium in the vitamins I take and the Tums I eat. Not sure...

checked out local hospital online, radiologist report posted, no new cancer, some heart calcification but ruled out worst case. Now I have to find an ENT that knows something about Menieres. guess you're stuck with me for a little longer...

productive day, got the mower blades sharpened and the deck lubed, and the lawn mowed and trimmed. I think the mower sounded quieter after servicing and perhaps my imagination but it sounds less strained with super sharp blades. Nice to get that done since looks like wet weather for awhile. and...

nice peony RS, pretty red one woodpecker must have miners in family dna, still going to town on stump he almost disappears into the holes he's dug, comes up with head all covered with dirt and bits he picks up small stuff and chucks it to the side like a little excavator working I'm going to...

Rip, looking good, when can I move into the Milkhouse? decided a good day to sharpen blades on mower, grease it, etc seemed like it was noisier last time but might have been a plastic cover from the leaf bagger vibrating. I really need to wear headphones while mowing. otherwise quite the...

well you got a laptop in there quickly, good man. hospital tv is pretty bad...but sounds like you have some serious YouTube time ahead. along with getting fixed up try not to stress

actually this brings up the real point, did we remember to take our phone with us to call for help? I try to take it everywhere, part of living alone. No one will know if I fall down the stairs in my basement and break my hip, and no one will hear it's almost like seatbelts with me, never used...

ok, as long as Sassy was watching. I know who's boss around there

good morning all up early, should be a nice cloudy day until rain tonight. Lots of clouds and rain in ten day. Ron, you crawl around on the roof of your barn? by yourself? :rolleyes: worry about you up there BIL chatted with me from hospital yesterday, had his Zimmer knee replaced under a...

remember the Chinese guy with the nice family who was asking our help with understanding the american market for implements? I was amazed how long he was up, before he disappeared, hopefully not literally. maybe I should reply only with question: are you legitimate and can you identify...

came in through our email here, the avatar up top with a 1 to show you a message has come. I went for years and never knew to look up there... sorry I had the name wrong....sigh. birds outside squawking and squawking, maybe not peahen volume but something has them riled up. he sure sounds...

did anyone else get a private email from FS507 asking for feedback about a tractor buying site? trying to figure out if spam long afternoon, glad to be home

now full of citrus barium I wonder if you put a geiger counter near me if it would start clicking... ate a small chocolate brownie first, then started to drink the thick stuff. The chocolate hid the flavor for awhile but it's not terrible. There is much worse stuff to drink. certainly full...

we all send our prayers this morning for Bill hope he is all there, all good, and recovering well he probably doesn't have a laptop and if in IC, they usually don't allow them anyway. So let's just send lots of good karma his way.

good morning all 49 going up to 74 today, mostly sunny day. will be doing wash at home this morning, kinda killing time til I have to go get a CT scan this afternoon at 2pm. At least I can eat breakfast and have my coffee. that wood wall looks wonderful Riptides

I mean in California right it could be one tenth of a cent basic but add on 13 different taxes and levies for righting ancient wrongs of all conceivable types and you now pay a nickle a gallon... Those commercial growers sure don't pay that.

I can remember paying 50 cents per gallon for water. Abacos, I forget which one island. My bucket list trip in my own boat with just my wife and I at least fifteen years ago. and what terrible water it was, full of sand that I spent three or four years getting out of my boat's systems. Finally...

RNG, not sure my decimals are in right place but does mean a range of 5 to 7 cents per gallon? Or one tenth that? I'm hoping one tenth

time to pick some spinach and lettuce

glad you chilled out yesterday RS you really need to pay attention to the weather there, those systems seem to keep sweeping across. I personally think tornado shelters are a very, very good idea. tis the season. happy to report I fixed the last plumbing issue on rv, the bidet supply line...

may they all be chatting together over iced tea in a heavenly spot

there seems to be an adequate supply of tin foil hats on Amazon. most of them are used in lady's beauty salons for some process. 85 cents apiece in dozen quantity for your own tin foil hat. hand them out to your friends. But this one looked a little better. Frankly, I think a Stetson made...

good morning all Happy Mothers Day to all moms. 50 and drizzly now, looks like rain clearing out later I hope Bill is waking up in hospital in telemetry where he belongs. And that whatever took him down fades away. Prayers for our friend. I had a great sleep last night and feel good this morning.

choose from bad, worse or awful? prayers sent your way for a good outcome one of the upsides, among all the downsides, of not having had children is I can freely make decisions about my health without the input of children I am responsible for, and who always want you to utilize every possible...

good morning all rather chilly at 43 out now, was very foggy earlier, now clearing to be a nice day with highs in 60's. lots of errands this morning delivering lettuce to a friend, then trip to hospital to pick up barium for CT scan on Monday, then food shopping. feeling better, still about 10%...

that doesn't surprise me, you deal with pretty heavy duty stuff. Strong metal wires. Thick posts it's the MOSFETs and IC's and who knows what that runs on microvolts that aren't always well armed against these events. I think this is more a telecommunication issue. Guess we will find out if all...

off Muir Beach CA this morning

you're very welcome. But I'm not done being a pita What about your hydraulics? what about a burst fitting? isn't that a single point of failure? more than one way for something to fall on that squishy head of yours. and I wouldn't want half of Popgadget's gigundo mower swinging back at me for...

ding ding ding ding massive solar flare tonight some of you have walls of electronics might be wise to take a defensive posture. if anyone is a ham radio operator, boy I bet this will be a noisy night wish there was software that would show where solar flare will hit Earth and when maybe it's...

David/Sodamo, you are up pretty high and have walls of expensive electronics. perhaps a defensive strategy? could be hyped, but biggest in 20 years is pretty big but maybe it's on other side of world??

speaking of tonight, massive solar storm coming, biggest in 20 years, better turn down the headset volume if you're a ham operator. And I hope Popgadget gets home before the GPS goes out. Apparently you can actually see this thing, though without a filter, sounds dangerous to look at. We are...

Mentions of politicians or political parties or governments will get deleted. Politics are not allowed. I found this recent quote of Muhammad's. Going to be a hard year to self police with so much drama going on. most of us want no part of that drama either I'm pretty sure perhaps a new thread...

But Scootr, isn't that still a single point of failure? I'm just asking... no matter how oversized chain, could anything possibly slip off, come unhitched? You are much too nice and squishy to find out the hard way

fix that porch before you have the neighborhood dance party over RS... Burpee order showed up, got them watered, sitting in windowsill, raining pretty good out now though a gentle soaking rain which we needed. friend coming over to drop in a little while with my favorite carrot muffins she...

back from oncologist, he is sure my cancer has not returned but he ordered another CT scan anyway. thinks the GI bug from two weeks ago may have set off my Menieres and brought on vertigo. hopefully will feel better tomorrow. thanks for the good wishes. I hate talking about disease, rather talk...

good morning all 55 degrees in fog, going up to low 70s in clouds woke up dizzy again, room spinning, but no temp, good thing I have appt with oncologist this morning. these symptoms are what I had when I was first diagnosed with cancer Drew sorry not doing well, you taking meclizine for...

good morning all light rain all day,pretty grey out Phil, that soup looks awfully thick! Ron nice flower. Tiny little bug in there have some light housekeeping to do this morning but otherwise no plans til later. This afternoon I go back to my childhood home to talk to the new homeowners there...

I really am hoping to be well schooled in American barbecue by the time I get home this Fall. I'd like a really tender steak, but not a filet, maybe some short ribs, then some barbecue. I also love German food, bet there's some good places along the way. my biggest challenge is getting out to...

had a funny chat with nice lady at rv campground on East Shore of Virginia, Temperanceville, where there's a big commercial campground there right on the water. Which I had my eye on, and when I called for a reservation for week after next, she tried selling me the least expensive back in...

you'd better deliver that with a box of chocolates RS just saying

honey, could you build me an electric arc furnace please? where do I plug it in?... I've never heard of a Mack engine running a generator. that is very cool. if you need a serious amount of juice. maybe if you own one you have to build a smelter to test it... ;)

I'll be looking forward to some of these in my salad tonight rain just starting to come in, should be light I'm not much on battlefields, never have been, but understand the history and the importance. mass graveyards take my breath away may we never have another civil war where we are pitted...

thanks, sounds perfect except for timing. My brother is coming to pick me up for lunch on the 13th and asked me where to go, due to how rural this place is. Just a little river town on the Shenandoah, has a post office so I guess it's a town not a lot there for sure but I try to find places...

bummer lab tests come back quickly AIC crept up to 6.1 from 6.0 sugar was 115 both too high Nortrac, for some of us, even eating properly doesn't work. I admit I don't all the time, but I'm not bad. yes I eat whole grain bread. yes I have ice cream a few times a month. I have to take steroids...

tried to plan an rv trip over Memorial Day and gave up, most places booked up. So this evening I worked up a trip down to Washington NC week after next. Stopping at a Watermelon Park along the Shenandoah River in Berryville VA on the way home, Monday 13th. may stay another day if in no rush to...

San Jacinto River flooding in East Texas, roads closed running loads of wash, lots of good steps up and down from the basement...

David, hope the procedure goes well back inside for good, did some push mowing for exercise, then trimmed the shrubs along the lane and did not get to rv project. time to conserve energy while running loads of wash better keep moving RS or the buzzards will carry you away...:cool:

plans changed, my cohort in crime cancelled due to not feeling well. So change of clothes and time to get something accomplished. watered all the gardens, pretty dry out now, waiting for this weekend's rain

Popgadget, may all your landings be smooth for a very very long time. I think you have a retirement most of us would be delighted with. You are surrounded by family, critters and tractors. Ken, I'm an ok painter if you want some help. Don't forget to put your initials on something for someone...

Hawley Texas yesterday downright frightening, if I lived in the middle of this country I would sure want a dedicated shelter in the basement. They sell those shelters at Lowes and TSC btw.

good morning all much cooler day in the sixties in clouds. woke up with a small stomach upset, hope that goes away. plans for today are just screwing around, with my brother's Corvette. picking it up at 10am and driving to Lederach to pick up a friend and blast down 309. I kidded him we would do...

ice cream with the tiny tornado sounds like a fun time. got lawn mowed and trimmed, needed to rest, now headed out to futz with rv

nice pics Ken. reminds me I need to get the cordless shrub trimmer out, with the limbs leafing out branches are drooping into driveway. Time for a haircut.

was at hospital at 6am for annual blood lab draws, including AIC should know that next week. primary doc ordered a nuclear stress test to check my heart, didn't like my elevating bp. and a lung function test I'm sure they'll find something billable in all that... every three or four years...

good morning all a very belated cup of coffee and breakfast since I was in local hospital at 6am getting fasting blood labs drawn. 5 tubes, what a vampire. Scott, sounds like you are having a ball, don't forget sunscreen, not like the Vermont sun... Ron, oops, lumps and bumps of life, good you...

no, I've been vacillating around because I realized it wasn't her fault I put an electric garage door opener on the door. She was happy to have it but not the cost of the door. So since I made this problem, I've been thinking how to high tech this but making sure the battery backup on the unit...

good morning all I wish my teeth were as tough as that squirrels...bet he doesn't need expensive crowns... :rolleyes: looks like a nice day today, full sun up to 80 degrees. 134/79 having first cup of coffee. Bet that shoots up... I'm signed up for a four hour nuclear stress test. pretty...

cracked, dead, flat, on the fritz, stripped RNG, I'd go back to bed headed out to sharpen blade on push mower and give that a push before it gets hotter

same glitch here too Phil must be earthquakes in California?... prayers to the families of the four police officers killed in Charlotte NC trying to do their job getting very bad dangerous people off the street. I wonder if more protective equipment would have helped. I hope the city of...

good morning all woke up at 3am and wide awake, read my book, enjoying cup of coffee I started a Word doc with a running log of my BP readings. I have a cuff here in my office. Currently on my arm. I've gotten as low as 125/75 last night just sitting here, and 160/90 when I apparently have too...

besides David you aren't allowed to get sick in Paradise 🍍🥥🍍

worked steadily in garden and got tomatoes, cukes, melons and beans planted. Garden is now full, I did spring for a small flat of their own tomatoes, 6 for 5 bucks, that's a good deal. BP is 140/80. Going to keep watching it and see if it slows down. Took a shower when I came in to get all the...

I can see the shareholders of Heinz quivering in their dividends thinking of all those tomatoes RS is growing, will put them out of business! just got home, actually hot out there now, I was in plant nursery without a hat and didn't feel good. So now headed back out to plant tomatoes, green...

that's a mighty hard hit. thank those missing door reinforcers for helping, bent front pillar back, though don't know what the extractions jaws also did Subaru has always gotten good safety scores. if you have a closing speed of 100mph combined, that's a lot of energy to get rid of ok if car is...

RS, full pics required! The more embarrassing the better (y) just got home from my closest Quaker Meeting, literally down the street a mile, wonderful small church that smells just like the old wood in the one I grew up in. 220 years old vs my old 300 year old building. Went for a...

not good at all Scott, little failure to communicate I'd say. finished planting all the daffodils I was given, guess about 60 new ones, they will be a different color than what I have now so looking forward to next Spring. Reminds me I have to deadhead some. mowed the lawn and pushed the...

great alpaca pics Popgadget That's a lot of socks! or perhaps a four legged sweater? not a good morning had run in with unpleasant owner at local nursery, which my favorite helper there apologized repeatedly for, but he was repeated yelling his instructions about why they would not open until...

great gauges GRS only issue is where the tach is too bad it's not at 1800... the output data is super helpful see honey, it has to stay in the green I used to have a 50amp boat with a 100 amp wife...

64 degrees with the sun going down, freeze warning out tonight hopefully the last. I have five tomato plants in the living room and three more coming from Burpee. that's plenty for me. next year I'm buying from the RS Tomato Factory

sounds like fun, let's meet there, we are a triangle. I could go to Costco nearby afterwards.

Don, any flowers on the potatoes? what else are you growing this year?

had a fun day outside on a 65 degree gorgeous blue sky day, though when I come in I always have to wash my face to get pollen out of eyelids, etc. good trip to local nursery, but no new veggies, so I picked up some Irish moss in alternating colors and planted that in a partially sunny spot along...

and I knew Popgadget was working hard when I went by his place yesterday morning in the rv going home about 9:30 am and honked three times. I bet he wondered who that idiot was honking. as I go off this morning looking for commercial veggies, Bonnie plants five bucks each?? I sure will be...

I looked up the company at the very bottom of the screen. interesting, they almost imply they own TBN https://www.imcuniverse.com/?page_id=233 I wonder how TBN compares to other large tractor oriented sites. Not that it matters, but now that we are part of the IMC digital universe, who knows...

nicely said Rip. worked out a solution for the bidet seat electrical plug. only outlet in bathroom competing for space with my right side. Plug the bidet cord in and it sticks into my side while trying to do my business. Just too tight in there for a moderately large person. so I looked at...

good morning all a chilly 41 in Quakertown PA going up to low 50's today and much colder tonight. Winter has not yet left... rv stayed warm with one electric heater on high so coffee pot dinged and time to wake up I expect to head home around 9am. great moon pic Ron

3 hour school board meeting by zoom, definitely put my needle on E hope you all have a good evening now i know why this campground is so quiet, there are no people here. Lots of full time rvs but no transients at all. I wonder why

I never threw a code for anything, I think.

I absolutely agree, just quoting I wonder if they meant circumference it looks like a two to three footer in that pic update I went out and measured average tree 30" some bigger ones 42" a few larger, but mostly straight and tall 42 near me has a worrisome crotch in it

this is a lesson that will stick with me will now have to start planning based on night winds too these rvs are built with matchsticks and glue zero requirements for strength other than not falling apart in the wind. My rv allegedly has a solid fiberglass roof; hoping that might be a little...

Buppies, hope you are feeling good this morning and that all things go well

I had the same wonky 3 pt hydraulic issue on my 4707. Truly had a mind of its own at times. I fiddled with the draft lever, fiddled with everything, really surprised four + years later this model is still having issues. Maybe it's operator error, but they sure need to make this more intuitive...

good morning all 49 in Quakertown PA going up to low 60's in rain showers this morning. Too bad it's cloudy out, supposed to be a pink moon this week, would look cool coming through all the trees here, which have not leafed out yet up too early, but woke up wide awake and feeling good. enjoying...

good morning all 46 going up to 60 today in clouds geez five nights in the 30's in ten day, not going to be good for the veggies. no wonder Burpee does not send out tomatoes to first week in May. hope everyone wakes up feeling good this morning. Dennis, that lot is lovely. Bottom line is...

the pics coming in from the indonesian Ruang volcano eruption are very cool they had to evacuate all 800 residents off this tiny island and took them to island next door, where stuff is still coming down on their heads. what a view to watch across the water

is that Indian lore Buppies? very cool btw, I told you about that vision I had where my wife came to see me six years after she had died. granted I was in hospital and on good meds. But I think that's what let the vision come through. So I'm warming to the idea there is a spirit world, and...

3 years of South Florida showed me what tropical weather is like, and pretty likely it is coming North more and more. South Florida can have crazy lightning too. Just not used to that further North. all that heat just makes things fizz and pop yes, right about now is the best time. on the NC...

doesn't here now either one likely disappeared minutes later over my pay scale

the rain may be coming in for us but not like in Dubai something pretty crazy happening there in the desert, they just got a year's rain in 12 hours, one place got ten inches. Simply unheard of, never happened in recorded history. looks like storm water management was not high on their high end...

when I bought my town's Radio Shack, the old guy who had it used to be a tv repair guy. He had more outdated electronic junk in boxes and thought he should get retail for them. Uh, no.... So I put a lot of stuff, electronic components, outdated small parts, in boxes and said ten bucks for...

good morning all 53 out now with showers coming in, likely high temp of the day, will be cloudy need to wake up before I make my list of to do's. site glitched on me this morning, seems almost every day it gives me a "can't find that". I pushed the trimming mower yesterday for a bit, mostly...

well said coffeedrinker. I was not referring to JD's Quick Hitch, which I think is proprietary to their subcompacts and compacts. I thought their "regular" hitch for larger tractors was the one that seemed simpler, smaller and tougher. but then I haven't run a Deere since the B I grew up with...

RS, at my home near here before I went to NC I had one of those cold frame setups on my rear deck and it worked great. It did blow over once so keep lots of weight down low.

100 year payoff a tad long David, silly to even quote stuff like that good trip to TSC, got the last propane bottle filled, and then bought two blue hydrangea bushes, tiny things not sure one is alive..., and some other annuals they had out in parking lot. Bonnie veggies are five dollars a...

thanks I got through about 50 and then went to the end... lot of heresay, though if they stopped advertising here, clearly they are having problems. Or are no longer. I tried to open some of the newspaper articles and they require you to sign up. No.

never got outside. Just got off phone with guy who owns the farm I grew up on. He bought it four years ago and is just now moving from Colorado to here, having spent millions more on renovating the outbuildings. Primary house is 12,000 sf Tara built by prior owner built swimming pool used to...

maybe already had the box of 30 from HF? your junk is my treasure functional stuff for sure should not be thrown away

that's a great idea Don so you don't wreck the normal chain saw chain in the dirt. Popgadget, your azaleas are going to pop soon, should be gorgeous, mine are just starting but much thinner than yours. great pics Ken, your TLB is like a swiss army knife. time to get moving time to suck up...

Eddie, thankfully my earlier 4707 had zero a/c problems and in hot sticky NC summers only had to go to second fan position. you sure don't want water leaks where you can't see them. That isn't going to end well. often issue is just chaff/dirt/bugs clogging up a drain hole, happens in rv's too...

now what tractor would be complete without a bring me a beer button? (y)

Ron, what is that horn/siren?? attached to top of FEL controls? nice looking tractor

good morning all looks like our nice warm weather has left, more seasonable for next week I got worried at 4am and went out and brought in a flower planter from outside, the one built for a Mother's Day present. Would not be good if I froze it now before the gift... So I've been up for...

gosh I sure didn't know that. ???? will search on this thanks

needed to come in and sit. got the greenhouse completely cleaned out, now I have to figure out what to do with it. then a friend came by with another super talkative friend from Vermont I've never met and we talked cars and rvs, so not hard to do. He was about to pick up his first rv. I...

had to look up the Pedernales River TwoBit not very big river, but pretty so you are in the Texas hill country since the water flows East. River named after shale rocks found in riverbed.

yes, current ones built in Brazil in similar all new high tech factory AGCO built there mine was a 2019 mine came equipped with 34 inch Trelleborg radials which they later downsized to 30 or 32 I think. 34's were sized for 100hp variant but I guess when they built mine that's what they had...

I have read a discussion that the oem JD quick attach is simpler in design and more importantly, weighs less. The less the hitch weighs, the more lift capacity you have. Plus the SSQA sticks out a little further?? thankfully easy to compare lift capacity of comparable units regardless of what...

this is a really interesting discussion, let's not wreck it with personal attacks please or maybe it's just all talked out? I wish I lived closer to Messicks, about two hours West of me, and then I'd chose between Kubota and New Holland. Maybe it's a PA thing...but New Holland is here. Though...

good morning all Scaredy, always good to hear from you. good outcome on the tractor. Ron and Scott, thanks. Trying to be very careful with what I eat, maybe I'll lose a few needed pounds... but it's starting to throb so I might indulge in a little white pill this morning. At least it's on...

coffeedrinker, when this forum started, I think it was primarily Kubota. This is primarily a site for hobby farmers. few tractors here have gps...

Kubota tractors are notorious for crappy standard seats, and only in recent years have they upped their game and offered better seats on smaller tractors. When I went from an L5740 to a Massey 70hp full size utility tractor, the jump in comfort was simply enormous. I thought I had died and gone...

with a mighty crack, out came my tooth. not so bad, though when numbing wears off. went to supermarket and got some soft food for a few days. just have to remember to chew on other side. looking forward to planting the plants and shrubs I bought this morning. getting nicely warm outside, on...

went plant shopping at Bountiful Acres today, they don't have any warmer veggies in yet, but did get some kale and cabbage plants. plus two more willow shrubs for the back yard, trying to assist mother nature in draining Lake Drew. now to read my book for an hour and then head to dentist...

JD usually do not come standard with quick attach skid steer compatibility. They have their own simpler setup, which weighs less, a good thing on a small tractor grapple, but you have to buy Frontier green implements to work with that setup. I think many JD's have converted over to SSQA format...

that hour figure seems a little low. Do the maintenance, replace the hoses, belts, tires, etc and just keep on going. properly maintained diesel engine will last a very long time, commercial farmers run 10k. at 100 hours per year for hobby tractor, I bet you could go fifty years. There are some...

RS, I am very pleased with my raised beds. What is extra helpful is having them sized for hoop frames from side to side, so you can cover the whole thing if desired. My next door neighbor's farm, whose wife is in the local gardening club, has beautiful raised gardens with those hoops, saw that...

good morning all some of you guys are up too early.... should be a nice warm day today, high in upper 70's. unfortunately my day is consumed by having my molar pulled out this afternoon. This morning going to work on thinning out the lettuce. not sure the beans and cukes will make it, they...

second flower planter built, went easily, used lots of glue this time. 4100 steps, big day for me ready for the glue factory gorgeous weather out, but my eyes are itching, headed to shower to clean it all off

after my brother's grandson built his planter of daisies for Mothers day, I got to work on the lawn. First weedeating, then pushing electric trim mower, then riding mower. in between got the riding mower all greased, lawn still wet in spots came in and had to sit, have some lunch, think I'm...

some folks think the only way to have a real Philly cheese steak is to use Velveeta. how they can call that liquid plastic cheese is amazing. Cheese product? good morning all slept like a rock, amazed to wake up and see light streaming through the windows. Scott, have fun in Florida. Kyle...

windy windy here too Popgadget, you can surely depend upon that bottle opener never wearing out. built to last

1.05 inches of rain and I think the veggies are drowning and seriously unhappy at 45 degrees. I may go sink some bean seeds down next to the plants already in, hedge my bets Rip glad your daughter is plugged in and warm. when covid was in full force and I had finally gotten out of the hospital...

Phil should be completing something absolutely amazing by now if he learns how to hand carve, we'll be seeing little tractors on his bowls...

good morning all cooler windy morning, 47 going to 57 today with rain this morning. lots of wind today, blustery. Buppies, you had me looking at weather report, geez four nights in low 40's ahead, at least not 30's. quiet day planned, then dinner tonight with 10 other gardeners for the small...

some trucker in Texas was having a bad day this morning apparently intentionally drove his 18 wheeler loaded with rebar into the Dept Public Safety building in Denham. Hurt a bunch of people doing it. sure hope he isn't driving anytime soon criminal act says the sheriff. might not be a good...

am watching the radar and another batch of rain due in, currently over RS and Ohio and heading East Buffet on the Beach! How much better can it get! a long time ago,, driving my brother's 1962 red corvette convertible through Seaside Heights NJ with the top down and Beach Boys blasting from...

friend of mine said his son was very happy with this remote propane monitor for his mountain cabin so I ordered the two pack. One for tank in rv and other for propane tank for home gen. Two that are out of sight but very important. not overly worried about running out on the barbecue. I always...

El Nino is apparently turning into La Nina, representing a periodic cooling of waters in Pacific expected result is warmer weather for central and Eastern US. this is good news for some South American cities that are running out of water, apparently La Nina brings them wetter weather. the real...

good morning all surprisingly warm this morning, about 64 which will be the high of the day, with temps dropping into 40's tonight. .65 rain so far, some showers continuing this morning. I'm off to pick up school board friend and we are off to breakfast together. local place has a ground lamb...

got most of the flower gardens planted as well as marigolds between bush beans. Beans and cukes loving this sun but I think soil is still a little cold for them. still have to thin the lettuce. I hate to throw the extras away, will try to plant them somewhere.

If I were closer to Messicks here in PA, I might consider New Holland. so many of these tractors are just rebranded something else. I can't imagine John Deere being as successful as it has been if it didn't partner with Yanmar to make so much of their equipment. Yanmar considered to have...

OJ Simpson from cancer no loss for the murderer

i think it only breaks down at 100,000 hours... just kidding how often do you change the hydraulic filter? now they apparently have a smaller micron rating and using a motor oil filter would not be the best. i think a lot depends upon the environment. A clean warehouse or living outside could...

https://www.1300starpickets.com.au/products/10-x-star-pickets-black-300mm Wagtail had me looking up what a star picket is learn something new every day Popgadget, you need another ten feet in that workshop, bet you never thought you would fill it up so much when you built it. best part is that...

good morning all what a nice day yesterday was, got a lot done, enjoyed planting my flowers all over the place today will be warm with rain coming in later Ron, you are ahead of me. I have two loads of wash to do this morning. not much planned for today other than a little weedeating and...

got a lot of plants planted, then took off lawn vac, put it away, which required moving half the stuff out of the garage, and then mowed the lawn. That one spot is so thick I had to raise the mower all the way up first pass. otherwise what a wet mess. Got it done after sliming up the mower. I...

Mostly, you keeping dry? quite the flood east of you in East Texas, Kirbyville currently making headlines got a lot of flowers planted, both bought and my own, very pleased with how it looks, and now to mow the lawn. if I still have any energy after that, always more flowers to plant I need to...

not a heat pump but maybe same circuit. I didn't go right from heat to cool. Heat had been off for hours. I just went to cool, it tried and then quit pretty sure you're right, this is not a smart thermostat

back home with my sanity and wallet intact oral surgeon apologized for his staff not giving me a range yesterday, and yes she was by herself with the other girl out. I'm pretty sure my dentist called him (just down the road) after work yesterday and put the arm on him. so, drum roll...

Glacier National Park is ALL the way up there. too far for my trip but one of the nation's most beautiful areas I'm going to spend a fair amount of time in the badlands but will not get to most of the Utah parks. hope the final leg of her trip goes well Rip. quite the adventure

homework done let's see what he quotes this morning.... I'm guessing 1000 bucks Simple extraction Simple extractions are generally the cheapest extraction procedure, ranging from $75 to $250 per tooth. Simple extractions are the easiest to perform. If a tooth is fully erupted and not impacted...

good morning all very warm this morning, 51 going up to 70 in clouds. I'm off to oral surgeon this morning. Groan. now for yesterday's post: it was so nice out, and we have more wet weather coming later this week I went back out and planted some more. Got four kinds of zinnias planted in back...
