57 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. Dry, but windy and still chances of rain under a grey sky. Last night while grilling, no kidding, a maple branch came down missing the grill by inches. Wife freaked when it hit, but I was already by the door. Driveway looks like a hail storm came...

58 outside this AM, heading to upper 60's. Under a big grey sky. And it will remain that way...probably till the w/e. Daughter out of isolation, returning to work this weekend in out-patient services. Hair is officially beyond gruffy looking. Is now below earlobes. Remainder of parts...

re .-2 Thomas, seriously..... that wood pile.... I am humbled by your work. Embarrassed at my lack of effort. re.-1 Ronjhall, I always wear seatbelts when on machinery. No more jumps offs for me. I was standing in the bed of the RTV and stepped to far while "trimming" an overhead branch. LOL. I...

57 outside this AM, heading to 69. Rain, spotty, for the week is on order. Got the grass cut, just need to weed whack the fence lines. Wiped out with the ZTR in the front, by a drainage ditch. Hit the spot at speed and right into the water I went. Walked to the house in shame to get the RTV for...

We are praying for you Drew. Hang in there. Stay strong in mind.

Sounds familiar. Our pool house is a custom Mennonite shed. Its a 12X40 with three windows, three double doors and a single door. I was fired because I was not moving fast enough. LOL. I did manage to finish the interior. Electric, heat/ac, floor, drywall and paneling. One would think that...

63 outside this AM, heading to 73. Started mowing late yesterday, stopped half-way through. Today will be finishing it off, that means the trim too. Small window before the rains come back. Daughter comes out of quarantine this w/e. Tested negative. Seems to be some interesting information...

Sounds like me...caught up for a few days...and here I am... about to go see how wet the grass is. :)

46 outside this AM, heading to lower 70's. Sky is gray, maybe a passing shower is in store for us. The grass could use a cut, but the weather is spotty rain for the next few days. The relocation worked well, close air support was overhead, but at altitude. I think those guys were just...

Why not! Need to venture out for the equipment. Was following everyone's ideas about fuel transfer. I need to stand on my tractors front tire to refuel it. That will get old quick. I'll have a toast to your health and ventures tonight! Got to go relocate another ground hog this AM. Close air...

37 outside this AM. Frosty. Heading to 70 today. Hope that is the last of the cold mornings. The garden and fruit trees took a beating to start the year. Re-fuel day. Need to find some coffee filters too. Have a great day all. Be safe.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Something like that applies to drones. :)

Prayers for you Jay.

44 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. Zero plans. Yippie. Clean slate. Just need to restart the porch demo. Shucks, that sounds like a plan. LOL. I use/used an angle grinder to cut metal, concrete, brick and stones. Trust me, when I was gutting the inside of my dairy barn...I went through...

46 outside this AM, heading to upper 50's. Rain moved through a little while ago. Parts of my fields are mush. I attempted to cut part of the back forty yesterday, yeah..I got seat time on her tractor. LOL. Made it half-way down the fence line and abandoned the effort as I was a good foot in...

46 outside this AM. Heading to mid 60's. Had the wood stove going last night. Wind just carried the chill right through me while working outside all day. Wife ended up moving the last of our cedar logs out of the pasture. And a pleasant surprise as the gold Brothers finally showed. Have a good...

54 outside this AM. Heading to 65, with a "nor-easter" type storm moving in. Temps overnight expected to go into the freezing range. Time to cover the gardens again. Got all the grass cut again, and weed-whacked. Just in time for the rain, so I expect to be cutting again on Monday. Need to cut...

45 outside this AM. Heading to upper 60's. Not much on the agenda.....grass. LOL. Think I will try a park visit today before the rain and cold moves in. Fields still waterlogged. Really could use some dryer weather. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Classic! You know the answer- bigger tractor.

Ugh...what happened to the weather? Seems we are going back to cold and rainy for the next few days. I thought I heard a weather person say we are 20 degrees below normal and inches above our average for rain. More rain coming in this afternoon. I started draining the pool yesterday, since I...

63 outside this AM, heading to lower 70's. Had some thunderstorms move through last night. Side field looks to be under water again. Driveway still has puddles in it too. But the sun is out and the grass is green. Zero on the agenda today. Need to find some more food. Stores are getting spotty...

55 heading to mid 70's today. Rainy now and will be for the rest of the day. Walked with the weed whacker most of the day yesterday. LS....your day makes my year look pale in comparison. OMG.....in awe of your talent and can do spirit. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

53 heading to 73 today. Nice to see the sun. Mostly, Eric, yeah...don't no return protocols on first responders down where she is. She should be in day 3,4 or 5 now of isolation. I'll check up later in the day. I know she probably needs to decompress and relax. We are hoping to see the Blue...

LOL. I use to know an IT guy that collected SPAM cans from all over. He had a cubicle full of different flavors. I never knew there were so many different varieties of that "product". LOL. He worked on large scale messaging systems, filtering out messages by code, for "spam". Great guy! Fun times.

About 55 outside this AM. Heading to mid 60's...rain..and rain.. Thank you all for your kind words and condolences. It's been a hard week, but plenty of good memories. And I chuckle as I type, you see that horse broke some fingers way back when, trying to get her to load. On rainy days, they...

That would be me, personally. LOL. I have an old hand grinder, and a plastic funnel for number 4 filters. My girls scream when they see it. Call me old.

Here is hoping you get well soon Drew. It's raining here again. Supposed to be a washout day....it's 63 which is nice, but there is a flood watch. Mostly- thanks for asking, the horse had to be put down day before yesterday. She had been with us for over twenty years, so the wife and daughter...

Looks like RNGs pic is poking someone's eye out. My doctors at John's Hopkins may like a word with that operator.

Agree. Still recovering from building the last outbuilding which end up fairly large. I will need at least 18x24.....but just don't have the desire to take on another project right now. Sigh....need to get motivated.

45 outside this Am, heading to mid 70's. Hope that the grass dries out, to do some mowing. Sorry to hear of the lens slip, David. Here is hoping for fast resolution. Vision issues can be depressing. Nice Tractor, RNG. Mine sits outside, no time of late to work the cover issue. I'd like to...

Been raining since last evening. Horse still not back to normal. Now no water or food intake from last night. Was alert and walked up to me this AM. Very frustrating. Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Suns up. 50 outside this AM. Horse is standing and one poop pile. Need more....one swallow in barn...not sure how it got in...at the highpoint we must have had over 15 nests in there...talk about poop.... Hope all have a good day. Be safe. I would sure like some seat time before the rains come.

My potatoes got wiped out. I took a tarp to everything just the other night again. Weather is not cooperative to gardening just yet. Barn swallows finally showed up today. Been years trying to get rid of them. Place was infested with them when we got here a over a decade ago. Mother nature takes...

Thanks Buppies...not looking good. No water intake and nothing coming out the back end. Had intestinal issue diagnosed before...just may be her time. She's 23 years with us. Wife taking it hard. Will have to see how horse does in the next 24 hours.

I wear Wolfsnout gear for lawn work...I wear hand made masks with filters for public travels.

Good day, Been dealing with a horse these last few days. Not fun. She is old, and maybe her time is near. Have a good day all be safe.

Hope for the best. Sounds like a busted blood vessel/capillary. White spots in vision, shadowing/curtain effect or dark floaters are signs to be on the look out for.

45 outside this AM. Heading to mid 60's. It's a re-fuel the tanks day. Mine included. Need to start looking for a real job again. Along with everyone else I imagine. Yeah, Daugen, dealer is best for RV winterization. I keep telling my daughter that. They know all the hidden valves and what not...

Initial allegations on DJI tech were made in the 2017 time frame and never confirmed. To address concerns based on security DJI offers a government edition by enabling data capture expectations to the drone itself.

54 outside this AM. Lower 60's today. Grey outside. Gave up on the barbed wire yesterday after one strand. Too much work and too much poison ivy. Returned to chopping cedar branches and clearing tree lines around property perimeter. Not much else. Have a good day all. Be safe.

34 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Yard work is the order of the day. That and barb wire removal in the back forty. Ls...nice project. Looks really good. Love water and stone. David...thats quite a view. I would throughly enjoy mowing. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

56 outside this AM. Grey, drizzle and just blah. Heading to lower 60's. Late start. Wore myself out on the "lawn". I really need to dial back on cutting, but it looks so good and I do a lot of walking, short grass helps. I usually do it over two days, but with the rain in the forecast - just had...

Dang ...plowing snow and I just came in from five hours mowing grass. Even avoided a big swath of the front due to standing water. Crazy weather.

30 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. The squirrel family seems to have disappeared yesterday? Very odd. After the hangout and explore mode the other day, strange. Did not get to lawn. Got a side job call. Sort of need the cash. Daughters still in the ER down south. But get this, they have...

Late start - 46 outside, heading to mid 50's today. Looks like an opportunity to cut more grass. Late yesterday, my resident squirrel introduced her babies to our trees for the first time. That's good as they had taken up residence in one of my outbuilding walls and I could not relocate them...

Wow, I just replied to a thread and got set back to 2017 in this thread when I came back to it. TTYL

Oh YEAH. Cleaned up old round bales the other day. No issues. Pickup or relocation. Plenty of omph!

36 outside this AM. Heading to lower 50's. More rain overnight. Sigh. LS- takes a day or two to dry out when that happens. I happens maybe once every year or so. Mostly - trimming these maples back requires a bucket truck and pro's. We did it maybe 5 years ago. Issue now is the branches that...

46 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Sort of breezy this AM. Need to dry out from yesterday. The big noise around this time yesterday was another silver maple shedding a "branch". The trees were planted too close to the house and are 60 to 80 years old. Seems like every year one needs work...

It was a creek. But we had over two inches in less than one hour.

Ugh. Now I have a lake out back. We had a lot of rain.

59 going to 79. Pouring for last hours. Gutters cannot keep up. Yikes. Heard a big boom a few minutes ago. Think a tree might have come down on something. Odd..will...have to venture out when it lightens up. Have a great day all. Be safe.

Happy Easter to all. Mostly - wind gusts while weed eating blows the stuff even further. Less clumping and I don't get covered. Finished up yesterday. Shoulder is quite sore. Need a new trimmer head. Does not feed line properly anymore. Have a good day all. Be safe.

48 outside...heading to 68 today. Time to finish the lawns. Wind finally exited the region. Two days of gusts nearing 50 cleaned out the trees. Pick up stick day is also on order. Have a great day all. Be safe.

45 outside this AM. Heading to mid 70's. High wind warnings still on this AM. Had some gusts to mid 50's yesterday. That made weed-whacking a lot easier. More of the same today. COVID is starting it's creep into our area now. Starting to see more of it in all the local papers. One of our local...

Buppies storm just blew through here. Lost a lot of energy though. It is 54 now...drizzle...heading to 70's. Hopped on the mowers late yesterday. Stopped two hours later. Only the front is left. That and the walk of shame with the weed whacker. Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Yes on the supply issue. Everyone is at home. I used to eat at work.not anymore....

Missed the news...missed the weather. Had some down pours here and there yesterday. Like in the front pasture...raining....in the back....sun. Hope all fared well.

54 outside this AM, heading to lower 80's today. May be a good day to finish the weed whacking and recover the broken pressure washer from the back of the barn. Should finish the property perimeter with the bush hog, but that may involve chain saw work. Not up for that, Attempted a pickup of a...

Nice find.

46 outside heading to the lower 70's. Not much on the agenda today. May just sit in the yard. Need to think about getting a new pressure washer these next few weeks when things get back to normal. Daughter came up from Richmond. Gave her my N95 mask cache. She works in an ER now. Prayers to...

Hang in there. Prayers for your family.

Rum in my tea...cream in the coffee.

As long as they get the politics off TBN and return to its roots I am good. With Friendly missing on the forum and knowing it was available...I would have to chime in. LOL.

52 outside this AM. Heading to the lower 70's. Not much on the agenda. Need to do daughter's taxes. She is in Australia. Mostly...University Maryland College Park. Fear the turtle. Pressure washers split late yesterday...yeah...I was washing wife's tractor. Bolt housing look to have given...

41 outside this AM. Heading to lower 70's. Yesterday was just yard work. The relocation of the tiger lillies turned into an all day job. Eric....I do the same manual thing. LOL. Kyle...daughter has talent. Fear the turtle. UMCP. BEF....continuing prayers for your family. Randy....hope you...

LOL. That was from the one at the beginning of the Month. Yesterdays, well no info on that just yet. Their "grasslands restoration" is PC for mortar range and bushmaster expansion.

46 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Not much planned for today. Yesterday the Marine Corp base just up the road managed to catch 500 acres on fire. I did not think it was that dry. My local Fire department was not happy. Have a good day all. Be safe. Prayers for all. And think positive...

46 outside this AM. Heading to mid 60's. As buppies said high wind warnings. Yesterday the wife drove the tractor while we cleaned out more fence lines. Dropped her first tree with it. She found low gear and high throttle. Have another nice burn pile going. Lol. Hope all have a good day Be safe.

41 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. May do more string trimming today. Need to relocate more tiger lilies too. Eric....you are a brave man. No way I would go in that muck. Have a great day all. Be safe.

39 outside this AM. Heading to 60ish. Rain chased me out of the pastures.laye yesterday. Looks like the string trimmer walk of shame today. No way around that. Finally got a food order in. Six days out from today. Ahh.....supposed to be peak around that time. I might venture out before that...

Have not checked the temp this AM, but it is supposed to be warm today. Into the mid 70's. Kyle - that's a ZTR cut. Wifey seems to have hidden the tractor keys. :shocked: I did manage to fill all available gas/diesel tanks yesterday. My great state of VA has given "stay at home" orders until...

Best wishes and prayers for your daughter and family. Healthcare workers are amazing people.

Food gathering a bust. Did pickup some meds. No beer either. I really like beer. So I came home and mowed half the lawn. Hope all had a good day.

53 outside this AM. Heading to 70's. Sun broke out late yesterday. Quickly assembled a garden plot and hopped on the mowers. Physically and mentally ran out of gas. Need to find food today. Curb side pickups are two to six days out. Trying to plan out for another month. Looks like most stores...

55 this AM. Expect 80s. Light drizzle and grey outside. May dig up some lilies and relocate today. My hair is getting long. Going for a pony tail just because I can. Have a great day all. Be safe.

Hope all are doing ok this AM. Raining here. Sorry about not addressing some questions. Yes we plan on always leaving the bushhog or rake in the back for ballast. That one pic...was one of my maples we took down over a year or so ago. Still weighty. We opted not to get the tires filled just...

Good evening. Wife did good today. Her first burn pile. I did a lot of walking. Looks like I can be relegated to just lawn work and let her do the pastures. And yeah...she found the horn on her own. Lol.

46 outside heading to 70 or so. Maybe a mowing day. Grass is splotchy and high. Rains moving our way too. One of wife's best friends tested family member positive for covid. So there is that bit of bad news. Hope all have a good day. Be safe. Stay healthy. Be positive.

Ditto weather from Buppies. Not much going on. Work is I n s a n e. Cannot complain. Most are not working. Have a great day all. Be safe. Stay healthy.

Good Morning..... Lots going on. Wish you all the best and good health these next few weeks. Rain came through. Not much else. Revamping plans at work for work. Have a good day. Be safe. Stay healthy.

l LOVE drambuie. A definite treat.

40 heading to 61 today. Wife has a delivery scheduled for the animals. Guess I will be moving stuff around later today. Left me a note if I had cash for a tip. I cannot remember the last time I used dollars. Someone is gonna get a lot of quarters today. Need to clean up around the burn pile too...

Still smoldering this AM. Need to push it over....but the tractor is too new. LOL I have two really big stumps in it. Really big...so I will just add to it and start over. Rain up here is more of a drizzle.....

41 heading to 50 this AM. Slight rain chances. Wife called in the burn yesterday evening. An hour later I see the fire marshal heading up the road. We have visibility down to the road about a half mile. Sure enough he is slowing down and turned into the driveway. I wave to him and he backs out...

Very odd they say that. Search on line images for RealID.

Thanks. Only three things left to do on the original honey do list some decade ago...... porch...floors...and fence line. It is my wife's place.. I am just a hired hand.

Yeah... days away from lawn work here. I noted your chains.......no snow for us this year.

31 outside this AM. Heading to lower 50s. Sore from cleanup day yesterday. Knee not doing too well. I hate being mobile with the body reminding you of everything. Hoping for rain so I can light the burn pile up. Need to make a feed run today..all stores are limiting orders. It will mean...

Mostly..... sorry...yes those were baby skunks. I got them last year or so.

Nice tractor Thomas. Glad the SO is happy with it. Was working on cedar trees myself today. Created another burn pile. LOL. Hoping for rain so I can torch the old one. Be safe. Have a good night and good health to you.

Congrats on the move. You will do great things with your new found time!

64 outside this AM with temps heading to lower 80's. Some say rain is coming, if that is the case and the wind is right the burn pile goes up today. Not much else happening. Trying to stay positive. Need to work on demolition on the front porch too, sometime. That's gonna require people coming...

That would be me. LOL. There were four in that trap (if the right pic attached) . The Marines have them now.

Good morning, 48 heading to 79 with rain. Not much going on, did not get outside yesterday with the wife. Need to start taking stock of supplies for the horses. Special needs. Have a good day all. Be safe. Try and stay healthy.

Yeah, eyesight seems to not be good. (That makes for both me and the skunks) LOL. But their hearing is super.

We have wild onions all over my lawn. Yes not the same, but edible and could be used for cooking. That is my mindset. Sorry as it is.

Good morning all. Should be a nice day today. 43 heading to 59. I think I will try and get the wife familiar with the tractor today and see if she can move the burn pile. That and I need to take a walk into the back. We are thinking about getting with the state and county to protect our stream...

I took my first trip into Maryland in a while. Had to do some checks on stuff. Frigging traffic sucked. On the way home I made yes, a beer run. And I scored two cases of Pilsner. That should last a few days with all this stress and drama. :) I managed to stock up on some longer term...

Stop making me jealous. Sounds like you got your stash for next year already lined up and in the works. Good for you. My oaks are still standing, have a few unidentified trees in the back that came down. I doubt I will get to them anytime soon. Wife has other ideas. LOL.

43 outside this AM. Heading to 70 today. Hope all are well. <- We all say this all the time, it carries extra meaning these days. Looking at the burn pile out the kitchen window in the pasture. Still need to work it. On the lighter side, drank my last beer yesterday. Dang it. Be safe. Stay...

Yes... that and many, many more questions. The instruction booklet was unclear. :shocked: But the label clearly says 10 rolls. So 50 into 10. You get five rolls. What you do with them would not be my main concern. LOL. Erie that I came across that.

Warning this is humor: I work in areas that use to have these. No ****.

I wonder what this will look like going forward. Like the gas "rationing" of days gone by. You are allowed to shop and get out and about by the odd/even numbers of your car tags. The stores looked to be crushed yesterday in my area, it did not look good.

Happy Birthday - Phil. More trips for you, for sure! 30 outside this AM. Yikes. Heading to lower 40's. The end of winter I hope. Good thing I emptied the hoses last night. People seem to be out and about yesterday. I have a bad feeling that it's a last run on supplies and more probability of...

Gray and drizzle out this AM. May head up to goodwill for a drop off. House cleaning on the agenda. I am a jeans guy. But I wear them out on the wallet side and knees. LOL. And I never carry a wallet.

Ya but.... I am stockpiling that for medicinal and other purposes. LOL. I should have bought more beer. I don't think a weeks supply is going to be enough. I might have to venture out to the store. LOL.

Good morning crew. I hopped on the Kubota yesterday and finished some bush hogging 2.5 hours later. It was nice not getting covered in crap. I had to turn the a/c on it was so warm. Looks like some moving of downed trees and burn pile maintenance is in order before possible rains. This might...

Get the moss in hand *before* the need arises. That's my last tip of the day.

I am a bottle of bleach user. Everything we have is white so that makes it easy. I usually wait until mid summer, the hotter the better, spray and walk. Use my pump sprayer for those higher hard to reach areas.

History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives. Abba Eban Diplomat

The end for you is near. I have a stockpile of leaves and moss. and a creek that has a nice water fall, if it comes to that.

Yes on the opossum. Which is why I put them back in the woods, the back forty. The ground hog, the marines get him, or if I have a clear LOS, well...... That rain will do you good. Send some up here.

Wngsprd, Sounds like you did OK on that tree. I could use some oak. Haven't seen oak in the stove for years. Do have some big ones about that old down by the creek though. I'll leave them for future generations. LOL. The wife and I went up to PA for the tractor. No dealerships in this area...

Good Morning crew. Hope all are well. 50 this AM, with slight showers passing through. Highs into the mid 70's today. Not ready for the warm weather. Yesterday relocated a opossum that I trapped. Trying to get the ground hog that again showed up under one of my buildings. I'd like to shoot...

Hey wngsprd, glad you are doing well. I forgot about the hooks while at the dealer when we were talking. Forgot to ask. I kicked myself in the butt a few times while we were waiting for it. When it showed up, I see the hooks and was just like - wow. I asked and the sales guy said "Well you...

LOL. The sound system is amazing. I would have thought a radio on a tractor was a non-starter. But it is actually nicely done. Since it has a Bluetooth hookup, and a phone slot, the answers are Yes, yes, yes and yes. LOL. Good to see you still in the game!

Thanks Eric. Nice picture in my head that you painted with your swans and the big pond. With all that is going on, you have to sit back and take in Mother Natures calming effect. And yes, living the dream I am. I step into the house yesterday and get grabbed to take a photo op with our new...

43 outside this AM. Heading to mid 60's today. 70's predicted tomorrow with rain chances. I might tackle the burn pile tomorrow. It's over a year old. Way too big. Played in the dark last night, the standard lights are good enough for me on the tractor. The lights changes the whole operations...

The first thing we all agreed on was a cab. That will solve the dust issue. I went back and forth over the last year or so trying to convince myself it was not needed. The wife laid it out and just said no to the no cab ideas. :) :)

Well it even has the tire labels still on it. LOL. The wife was the salesman dream customer. She equipped it out with all new attachments, and finished it off with the Kubota extras for operator comfort and safety. To our dismay, we have some parts on a cargo ship, being held up by current...

Good Afternoon. A few minutes after drop off. 1.0 hours. Got to take a picture of that. Super excited to see it work. < --- I am hopeful that the SO will do some work with it.

We had a wild fire alert a few days ago. Then the Marine base made a controlled burn. Made the news and the radar reports. People were instructed NOT to call 911. It was that much smoke. Lucky I was downwind. LOL. Personally I thought the conditions to be too dry for that burn, but it is the...

Ugh. Will keep fingers crossed for you. Trust your instincts. Isn't it weird companies always ask employees what they do? They employ us, what do they think we do? Management sometimes makes you just roll your eyes.

I am backtracking through a half year of posts. Futile at best. Tick bite? Get tested for Alpha-Gal. My daughter came down with that a few years ago. You eating meat and feeling like that hours later? And your putting your place on the market? I was fond of your stories and all that work you...

Good Morning, I hear the 5:30 freight train in the distance. Horns on all the crossings. The owls are calling each other in the back, probably sharing last nights meal plan. Today is delivery day. Wife is more excited about it than I. Kept asking me about it the last few days. I am trying to...

I left a lot of jobs undone and then decided to do a total leave of absence. That was my story and I am sticking to it. It was interesting to see her wheel and deal. Much better at it than I. for sure.

Here is probably one of the best trackers around: Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS

Passing through countries. Looks like I was one step ahead of it everywhere. :shocked: Yes, but I consider you a friend. LOL.

Similar experience on an early out that was offered to me. And I gave immediate management, customers and co-workers heads up even though I was instructed by corporate to not do that. On retirement, mine was short-lived due to medical issues faced by my SO. Basically bankrupting us to a point...

Good Day all. I have been back in town for a few weeks now. Playing serious ketchup (lol) and what not. The wife is doing good, and so well in fact, she took the lead and went and purchased a new Kubota for us. A fully dressed MX6000 should be delivered in the AM. I am trying to find housing...

Missed my morning weather report. Hope all are well. I have taken some side jobs and will be out of the country for a while. My daughter number 3 leaves for the land of oz in 10 days, so we are getting that process ready too. It will be busy and stressful here for a while. I sincerely hope you...

70 outside this AM. Heading to mid 90's today. Need some rain. I was mowing straw in spots last night. Lol. Daughter has a predator. Uses it for camping. Nice little unit. Quieter than my Honda EB. Seems ok. Likes the push start.

Was about 70 outside when I made my rounds, heading towards 95 today. The mower got started on the grasses in the back last night, didn't think the grass was that high. So today, after lots of paperwork, I plan on finishing the back forty. Front is getting baled, so the property may look nice...

70 outside this AM, heading to 90. More yard work on tap for today. Still a lot of drama here. I'll be glad to be outside today. Hope all have a great day, be safe, and get healthy.

re -.1 I am still collecting wire off my properties. I have three barrels that need to go to the dump. My issue is getting the wire out of the barrels. Which is why I have three and have not gotten to the dump with them. What do you do Ron? Throw it all away? Or rescue the barrel?

64 outside this AM, heading to 90. Very comfortable. Looks like a yard working day. Mostly, that is a real nice ride. BEF and Buppies, thinking positive about you guys. Have a great day all. Be safe.

Ugh....well if your like me....hopefully NOT...you'll run over it or trip over it....with something you should not. Here is hoping you find it with success.

sigh.... 67 outside right now. Mid 80's. Stunning morning sunrise, nice low fog over the pastures. was literally right on the edge of a rain cloud last night as the sun was going down. Front pasture bathed in golden rays, back pasture, the cloud of woe. The ying and yang over the house. Lost...

re-.1 Cool. LOL. Hey your view looks amazing.

67 outside this AM. Heading to mid 80's. Need to pick up sticks when the sun comes up. Prayers for all in need. That was one big fat spider. That would have caused quite a stir at this place. No so much me, as the SO. And well maybe me too....LOL Have a great day. Be safe.

67 outside this AM. Heading to lower 80's. Prayers for all. Have a good day and be safe.

76 outside this AM. Heading to upper 70's. Storms came through and missed us last night. Pick up sticks day is on order. That and tent caterpillars which seem to be in abundance this summer. Prayers for all in need. Speedy recovery to those ailing. Stay positive. Be safe.

The Right Stuff. A favorite book, a good movie.

72 outside this AM. heading to lower 90's. Big storms came through late yesterday evening, took the humidity with them. No rain for us, and that grass I have been moaning about looks to be dormant now. Yesterday I managed to cut and whack what was left of the lawn duties. Wife was giving me crap...

83 going to 100. Need rain. <- what buppies said applies here too. Pool level has dropped an inch over the w/e. And no cannonballs were involved. Weed whacked yesterday and more this AM. Still got the front and gullies to do. Hope all are on the mends. Speedier recovery thoughts sent. Have a...

Amazing, congrats to her and you!

75 outside this AM. Heading to 100. Yesterday I broke out the mower and did anything that was in the way. LOL. This AM it will be the weed whacker. Prayers for all, more so for BEF and Ron. Stay positive. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

78 outside this AM. Heat Index will be 105 for the next couple of days. Warnings start at 11am. Just in time for my siesta. Not much planned today, maybe grass work of some type. RNG - Safe travels, I would have brought something home from the adult store. LOL. txdon - glad it worked out for...

70 outside this AM. Mid 90's today with the danger hot and humid weather kicking in tomorrow. Just need to slow down. Hoping all are on the mends, another day to recovery! Stay positive. Enjoy the day. Be safe.

BEF, I feel for you. Stay positive, every day you will get better! Storms moved through here too. 20 degree drop in temps. Still humid though. Great for the grass. OMG.

76 outside this AM. Heading to upper 90s today. Here cometh the heat wave. Will prepare to sit in the pool accordingly. Although the grass continues to taunt me. Have a great day. Be safe. Hope all are getting better.

72 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's. Oppressive heat. Looks to be bad the remainder of the week. Got that lean to shed pile of wood under another lean to yesterday. Man did we sweat. Looks like enough wood for a nice wall and maybe two floors. Just need to clean it up a little and get...

Forbes was the first I heard of it a long time ago. The Museum Of Ross Perot Now I remember Ross through his running mate - "Who am I? And why am I here?" Both were great Americans and good people.

Hey, you have different priorities now. Health and Happiness. Yard work can wait, and with our weather...your doing the above just great by not performing outdoor activities. Get better!

And we are still cutting grass, today looks like I will be on the mowers again. It's mid July! The grass is super lush, green and growing. Take it easy is all I can say.

ditto what buppies said on the weather. Yesterday, I started early on a simple task of putting up an a/c unit in the barn. The grain room and tack room where the cats hang out has to be cool you know. LOL. I was drenched in about five minutes, and sunburned shortly after that. I figured it was...

ditto on the buppies and wngsprd weather for here. Errand day. Hate running around. Prayers for all to be on the mends today. Stay positive. Have a good day and be safe.

Congrats and get well soon toppop. Glad they figured it out BEF. Get well soon.Ok. My retirement was all paper after 25 years. My boss and upper level management did not agree with corporate. I just walked away. It was poorly handled. Hope all have a great weekend. Be safe.

LOL. You can get a nice PetaByte of storage for around 6k <-- now :) :). Sweet. <-- :) :)

Congratulations are in order! GOOD for you!!!

Well WD40 was a poor choice of products. Usually anything AG related, around here, gets a corn oil, or veggie oil treatment. But my traps, have not come under the "tripping" issues of late. So I cannot say that would do the trick. Probably a bit sticky afterwards. Keep us posted! Good luck.

LOL. I had all four in the trap before it sprung. They must be lighter than air. LOL. Good luck with the effort. Maybe some WD40 is in order.

Fingers crossed for a favorable outcome. I dealt with an electric company pushing an upgrade a few years ago. We lost. But it raised awareness of what an "upgrade" can mean. OMG.

71 outside this AM, heading into the 90's today. Took a big gulp last night as a big tstorm came through. Looks like over an inch, again, really fast dump of rain. Seems to be the pattern here abouts these last few weeks. Enough rain to where the pool chemistry is off. :( So, chemistry class...

Remember...I am the skunk MAN! Get a big tarp, and practice your mellow mood. Calm...calm...calm...hmmmmmmmm... Keep us posted!

Ditto on the weather from wngsprd. Too lazy this AM to do my own. I am sapped...I think the humidity and the outside work these past few days (weeks) have caught up to me. I have no appetite (hunger) for food and I just drink water, gatorade and beer. Can man live on liquid alone? LOL. Sorry...

68 outside this AM. Mid 90's expected. More moving stuff around today. Hope all are on the mends. Balanced diet for me. No soda and low to no sugar and salt intake. Always read the labels. Love me some t bone.....maybe once a month if lucky. Lol. Hopefully all will have a good day. Be safe.

Oh my. I wish you a full and speedy recovery. Think positive.

66 outside this AM. Heat wave coming so expected highs into the upper 90's for a while. Had flooding just north of us late yesterday. D.C. was pounded. Got like six inches of rain in spots in one hour. It was like nothing I have ever seen for this area. Hopefully all are having a good day...

Less than 300 hours, dual rear remotes, FEL, CAB, hydro-shuttle. Is very clean. I think it is pre-emissions, I view that as goodness. 38k. Opinions and price check, welcome.

77 outside this AM. Heading to low 70's. While some relish the lack of heat and humidity, I kind of miss it already. LOL. Sure could use some rain, the pool is down to where I need well water input. I don't like doing that as it taxes the well. I spent the better part of yesterday between lawn...

I think it is a 2017. I did not look at the details.....I guess I should. I am scared. Lol.

The sun went behind some tstorm like clouds....so I took my empty beer bottle and left the pool. I was sitting in it chilling after moving stuff around. Hope all are doing well.

Yeah.recovery......mode.... GMC 2500 diesel...regular bed ....crew cab.... too much tech for me. Will replace her 2010 crew cab Ram 2500 gasser. Nice truck... good for her.

Daughter needed another truck. Wife co-signed. LOL. Of course I am taking the hit on the credit. So I am in recovery. Mentally. At least I have a truck to haul some stuff around with now. Daughters gasser, 2500, just did not cut it for trailering, so she got a diesel. I got my gatorade, I go...

77 outside this AM. In recovery mode, wife went with daughter over holiday and came home with another new truck. In recovery mode...lol. Have tractor work today, but need gatorade and fuel before I start. Hope all have a pleasant day. Be safe.

Happy fourth! Ron, thanks for the link, odd the pics and link are many years old. Hope all enjoy the day and evening!

70 outside this AM. Heading towards middle 90's. T-Storms moved through late yesterday. Same the next few days. Kind of puts a crimp in your plans IF you can stomach the heat and humidity when you are working. I hate being caught out in an open pasture with the storms coming through. I always...

Here we have some programs and resources to do the same. It is highly encouraged. I could get away with a no cost option, but that would require a conservation easement. Unfortunate, but I cannot see myself doing it with over 50 acres butting up against a creek and my neighbors NOT doing it, or...

65 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's. Unsettled weather coming in for the holiday. Hope all are on the mends and have a great day. Be safe.

Wow. Just wow on the Pic. Hope you take it all in. Not much happening here. Kind of sore from the demolitions and moving stuff around. Almost got it under control. Missing some tools though, too many projects. I cannot remember where a particular wrench went. I think one of the kids walked off...

What Buppies said. On weather and Week. LOL! 69 outside, it is b e a t i f u l. Heading to lower 90's. That shower that came through to stop my day, dropped an inch of rain on us in just under 20 minutes. Then, it was a golden sunset for the evening. Today, I need to move some piles around...

Get better faster toppop. Congrats on the upcoming wedding. A shower put an end to my outdoor fun for today. It is too hot for this kind of work...but..whatever.

Bad Gateway, Bad Gateway. Sit. Been out in the heat since the sun broke out. Need to go whack some weeds after re-hydration sits in. The grass is starting to lose its juicyness. Last nights cutting was throwing a lot of dust and bugs around. I am shopping for a cab tractor these next few days...

LOL. I should mention it is barely cow high. It also had some contraptions, cloth based, that would hang down for the cows to rub against as they "loafed". Probably some chemical mix for bugs and what not. Cow high, meaning me at 6'2" has to bend over to get into it. I always smacked my head...

Got me, I was labeled a "slacker", "loafer" by the SO. LOL. When the old guys come around they always used to point to the "loafer" shed in the pasture. Guess the name stuck with me.

Hope all have a great start to a good day. For us here, looks like about 68 outside this AM. Highs will move into the 90's. Seems less humid today than yesterday. Got all the "stuff" out of the run-in, loafer shed we are taking down. Will call in a helper. Got stung three times and used three...

I feel your pain. Our RTV is hands down the most used vehicle by far here too. I had a saga a few weeks ago with a tire. Ended up ordering from Amazon of all places. I just needed one and they seemed to have it. Hope you get yours on the farm back in operations soonest.

68 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's today. More tear down time on the run in planned. Hope all are on the mends. Think positive. Be safe today.

Lynn sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.

72 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's today. Thunderstorms just rolled through so I got up. Probably a good day for lawn duties and moving stuff around. Wife wants a loafing shed down so I get to move firewood and junk out of it. It has no purpose anyway as we don''t have anything that...

That's good to know they are checking that. And pressure too. I hope her condition keeps improving and her attitude remains positive!

60 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's this week. Helped neighbor with hay yesterday. Last night the deer were looking for new bed down areas since the grass is now short. They were coming right up to the fence as we roasted marshmallows. Got the powerwasher all ready for the work week. Hope...

Get well toppop. Doing dual duties today. Lol.

Hey Buckeye....I hope your getting better. .but by your statement sounds like another dr. visit is in order.

65 outside this AM. Heading to lower 80's. After Sunday, looks like a really hot spell in store for us. Perfect for the power washer on all the buildings and houses. So I'll be saving energy up and not doing anything this weekend. LOL Day three of fresh air. Love it. Have a great day all, be safe!

Ahh... the fresh scent of air in the morning.... smells like VICTORY. Seems like day two is odor free. And a nice breeze is blowing. Managed to cut some grass late last night. More on tap today. wngsprd, yes on the location. My property sits close to the ordnance disposal area. <---LOL Ahh...

LOL. The ride went OK, used the big truck and had a decent head wind. LOL. There is an easter egg in the "relocate" picture. I figured the Sign would give away their new "home". LOL.

71 outside this AM. Heading to upper 80's. Hazy, Hot and Humid. Possible showers...it's summer time weather. Hope all are on the mends. Belated B-Day wishes, Ron. Well, I am officially THE MAN. Yeps...I have impressed the wife, daughters, family and friends as of late yesterday. Repeat...
