I killed the grass with chemicals...then raked it out. Then layered various sand and crusher mixes. All tractor FEL work.

You have a PC. Use that as the middle man. Probably a lot faster transfers using wifi.

How about just using the phone based browser and getting to TBN? That on my Android with Chrome is pretty stable and no issues with pictures or advertising.

Good info. To me, without seeing the pictures, it really sounds like the mower attached to the tractor (lift arms) are out of alignment. There should be a lift arm on the tractor that is adjustable. Turning it may require some effort. If you are on a level surface, and eyeballing which side the...

Know your customer details. LOL. Bladder size and endurance. Marketing and planning at the most basic human level. Scary and funny at the same time.

64 outside this AM. Heading to mid 90's. t-Storms moved through late yesterday evening. Body felt the change in atmosphere. Aching...aching...still. Waiting now for the morning fog to burn off. Sure looks gloomy outside. Had a few lightening strikes with the storms that were loud and bright...

Your profile says otherwise.

Dealer picked it up yesterday. They called today and it is the clutch. I had diagnosed the wiring and switch. Energizing the clutch... did not hear the click for the magnets.

20 on TBN or with your significant other? LOL. Congrats...now go down memory lane and find your first post.

The clocks ticking and **** happens. Ya gotta plan for the worse case...somehow...and enjoy each day. LOL.

I think your confusing identity checks on cash type transactions (banks) with regulatory checks to the IRS on bank transactions (Feds).

LS, that is quite some oasis you and the wife have constructed. Very impressive, very inviting. I hope you can deal with your challenges in a positive way. Here is hoping for your betterment.

BRICS dropped their agenda plans for discussing their new currency next month. Seems Mr. Buffets prediction holds true.

First, welcome to TBN. Photos are always good. In your particular case, the type (model number, name brand) of finishing mower can help us out. I am sure someone will jump right in after that and tell you all about adjusting. That would be either the tractor attach points or the mower deck...

BBQ, wasabi peas and gasoline. What more can you want? Don't answer that. LOL.

73 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's. Storms coming later according to the highly excited weather crews. May have to run around today, get some more wood, a concrete saw blade and screws. Lots of screws. Better to get than receive. LOL. Also need to get the tax papers back to the...

Sorry to hear this. Really. I hope you find peace and comfort. I will give a recommendation for John's Hopkins. Best of luck to you.

Good for you. Had a nice breeze here today. Would have been perfect to cut. But no ZTR. Dealer came and got it this AM. Grass will be challenging once I get it back. Wife has got another plumber lined up for an estimate tomorrow. People who installed new septic said no issues with hookup...

Go fast, go fast...

That's a good piece of news to hear. A company that is standing by their product. After all that time. I like it.

Good luck, RNG!

I took Home Economics in HS, great way to meet the girls. And, it "Amercanized" my food experience. Mom, being of old Europe about stroked out learning of my culinary direction. Her gift though, in time, won out. I failed World of Construction in Jr. High. We actually built small scale home...

Not a cat fan here. Have one that absolutely hates the dog. Poor dog will not go out of house if the cats on the porch. Even if you tell the dog to run fast past the cat. Dog tried it again yesterday and the cat took a nice air swip and hissed at the dog as it flew by. LOL. Dog looks at me like...

Pretty good run rate with that. I'd say.

70 outside this AM. Mid 80's expected. Maybe a t-Storm moving in later. Clean start to the day. Nothing on the agenda, yet. Boss is still sleeping, though. More yard work is in order, weed whacking, around the houses mowing, pick 'em up sticks, burn pile visits. Need to check RTV fluids...

87 outside now. Done for the weekend. Managed to find and moved all tools ro "new" toolshed. Serious downsizing in space. Shed has electric and is next to house. Needs a new window. Chilling by the pool watching the lawn ornaments go by. Condolences Don. Mower troubles seem to be the order of...

Had a microburst about two years ago. Saw it. 30 feet wide by hundreds long. Took out some trees like a new path in the woods...section of fence...half a run in shed roof 20 feet wide...15 feet off the barn roof...another section of fence and then some more trees as it left the property...

So true. Living it now.

74 outside this AM, heading to 90's. Humidity levels have come down according to my skin. LOL. Yesterday was a bust. Nothing accomplished. This AM looks to be more of the same, running around to do. If I can at least get all my tools in one place, that would be an accomplishment. Too many...

Name brand stocks like Apple..Amazon..MS...Nvidia...even Tesla...put that percentage to shame. Easily converted you say? Depends on what pawn shop you go to. Even jewlers have issues with karats.

I just think your place is beautiful. Special for sure.

In my county and surrounding counties we have designated "safe" spots that are monitored by LEO for public to public transactions. Is a great idea. I have even seen some LEO in some of these spots at times. All have video surveillance and all are in highly visible traffic areas.

67 outside this AM, heading to 90. Storm moved through earlier this AM. Nice rumble of thunder, one long loud clap. Hard rain on the tin roofs. Nice sound. Not sure what I will get into today. Still have tools to move around. Should finish that job up. No word back on the plumber for the Milk...

Happy Birthday Kyle. We got a sleep number due to the wife's back condition...after surgery. My number is between 75 and 90. Lol. Is like sleeping on the hardwood floors.

Interest rates are too high, gold will not be as lucrative to investors as you may think.

Oh I get that. I am super easy to deal with. I was watching and listening the whole time. My wife has that "voice" that can get your attention. She and I are very deliberate in how we request service. And what we expect. The people that showed up, not the problem....the process and...

67 outside this AM. Heading to 90. Nice morning fog over the pastures. Looks like a walk with the weed whacker is in order today. Found the multi-meter. It was in the house. I forgot I keep most electronics in the house. The ZTR PTO switch looks good. That must mean the clutch is out. Beyond my...

bud - why - ser

The dollar rules because of the idea of America is strong. Life...liberty...the pursuit..... The actual practice of morals, ethics and values....are not applied to the idea at some times. As long as the idea persists...the dollar will rule.

I found my multi-meter. The PTO switch seems to be fine. Guess a call to a dealer is in order. The clutch is a little pricey and well, I don't do well with things under torque.

Some people are ruthless.

Unfortunate, heat does not appear to be the culprit. If I find my multi-meter I can test the switch and the PTO. Which will come first? A new switch or me finding my tool? LOL.

Well, it was brutally hot (unbearable) while mowing. I did not think the ZTR had that feature. I will go out and check and see it it engages. My PTO switch is on the way. I hope it was temp related. Thanks for the information.

Kill the lantern flies.

Seems the recent weather is taking a toll on our equipment. That must be it. I hate it when I find puddles and drips. I hate it more when things just stop working in the middle of a job. This is not the time of year to be working on equipment, the equipment should be working. Suns up and out...

73 outside this AM. Heading to upper 80's, A little t-Storm just passed. A few rumbles, but lots of water in a short period. Should be dry for the rest of the day. Yesterday the ZTR gave up cutting grass. Blades just stopped while I was running. Took it back up to the house, without a...

I was out mowing when the blades just stopped like the PTO switch had disengaged. I checked the fuses, checked the seat safety and with the PTO engaged (blades will not engage) and the mower did stop. So I don't think the seat safety switch is the problem. Could this be a bad PTO switch? Mower...

There are a whole suite of products available in the "mobile" market, indeed off the internet, that makes the big banks look like the dinosaurs that they are. Try wire transfers for instance. With up to the minute exchange rates, internationally, no less. You can thank the younger generations...

At the consumer level, the quality and affordability consumer level, most drone components are manufactured in China. That includes Hong Kong. Various companies other than the market leader, like Exos and Autel have made claims that their components other than the flight frames are not coming...

68 outside this AM. Very foggy. Heading to 90's, the usual. Moved more tools around. The talk with plumber on Milk House did not go so well. Seems he thinks not enough fall to connect to septic system. And did not really give up info on where he would route pipes. Looks like I may be doing...

That's not a sandwhich...it is either a whole days meal or a heart attack. LOL. Big fan of scrapple! :)

I have a mile and a half of 3 rail fencing to keep the horses in. They seem to be picky about where and what they eat. In our current weather conditions weed whacking is a chore. I have to do the whole fence line, especially the outside posts. If I do the insides, that's a three mile day. Have...

The big banks seem to think we are doing well. I prefer credit unions, NFCU is my primary "banking" holder. Other banks on the National scale that I have dealt with are just not pleasant. Wells, BoA, Citi...

Interesting news - Our data center overhead power lines are back off the table. Developer withdrew them. Seems the neighboring property owners finally got wind of that proposal and let their feeling be known. The two solar plants are still bouncing back and forth in legaleese. One is a rezoning...

I thought I smelled "wood burn" last night as I sipped a cold one on the front porch. The haze sort of rolled in, too.

67 outside this AM. Should be in the lower 90's today with enough humidity to keep sane people indoors. After yesterday's attack of the walnut, I decided to move some tools around. So I cleaned out another building by the house. It use to be the hand-pump well shed. It will be the home for the...

I got the message. Lol. Was working on the pool pump and the walnut tree decided to shed a branch. Only missed me by a few feet. I ducked and stumbled away from the crack noise. Time for the chain saw....

Hey...I had one person show up with my neighbors plot. It got argumenative to the point where I walked and let my wife educate him.

Yeah, maybe now-a-days. Here, last we can tell, there was outhouse services until the 50's. At which time Billy and Bob decided to dig a tank and install some drain lines behind the chicken coup. Heck, my county cannot even get plats right between surveys. Mapping out utilities, especially...

Why the interest in finding the leach field? Most just get abandoned in place. The tank is a different story. In our county, it has to be destroyed or removed. And inspected that it was indeed done. Finding it, and the attached leach field was a follow the pipes adventure for us. There was no...

72 outside this AM. Will survey the place in a few due to t-Storms overnight. A couple of power hits, and lots of rain. Looks like the humidity is still with us. Think I will take it easy today if it clears up later. Pool will probably require some attention. Hazy and grey outside. That equals...

No, not impossible. It's just a convenience thing. Consumers want it easy and fast. In the mass of consumerism, very few let their p o l i t c a l leanings ethics or moralities enter the purchasing decision.

The rainbow over the beer store reminded me of a shot I took just before the Fourth of July. I caught a full one over the Farm, houses and barn.

80 outside this AM. Already broke a sweat and need another t-Shirt. I grabbed the wife yesterday and left town. LOL. We hiked up in the Shenandoah NP dodging some t-Storms on the mountain tops. Then hit a favorite BBQ and donuts place of ours. It tied up the day. Sort of messed with the...

You can buy cell phones not made in China. Same with computers. Same with solar components and panels.

That's good news. In my area, new lines are being proposed. Big ones. Sort of screwing property owners adjacent to proposed facilities. State has last say on them.

Airbiscuit touched on self-awareness. That is the first step. The next step in my opinion would be to seek out professional medical time with therapists. Both physical and mental. I think your "next step", transitioning to retirement is weighing heavily on you as your physical self reminded you...

70 outside this AM. Prayers for you Buppies. I feel for you dealing with what you are going through. Nothing on the agenda today. I need to start moving my tools out of the Milk House bathroom area. The backend before the renovation was my tool shed. Wife is adamant about finishing it before...

You have persevered and proven the inner self is much more than the physical makeup of the body. Your challenges are unknown to but a few. Glad and good for you that you have over come them. Both my wife and daughter now have undergone "revisions". Luck would have it that only my daughter had...

Sounds like someone wants you to chill for a little bit.

Surgical costs look to be around 400k alone. Nine hours. No issues with what was done. Leader in these type of revisions. Excellent service and care. My insurance... no comments.

Reinstalled. Before and after scans. Thanks for the kind words. Will relay accordingly.

Are they using existing power lines or did they build new ones to provide services?

Smart post. Funny the same negative attitudes are not shared about cell phones, computers and chips in general. In those technologies some American firms have become immensely if not grossly profitable.

Well I am sort of done for today. Those stings I got this AM are kind of swollen, and it's too hot outside. For those cat lovers, I think you can appreciate this Hot Cat: And those wonder what a cool million looks like: I have a house full of endoskeleton Terminator types. Attitudes and...

69 outside this AM, heading to mid 90's. Trip to NY was a "success". No issues with daughters surgery results. Doctor said posture issues are muscularly. OF course if the attitude was right, one could understand that, Seeing how half the body was sliced open and rearranged, reassembled. No more...

Deal with the paranoid feeling if it impedes your tractor work, professionally, within the medical community. Respect your equipment, think about what you are doing, tell other what you are doing, where you are doing it and when you may stop. Never work alone without a notification system in...

May I suggest locally reported weather news on the steam/snow events. It is a reported and recorded event that happens.

69 outside this AM, Grey and heading to mid 80's. Still humid. Hope all are well. Prayers to those in need. Never got to finish weed whacking, just cannot keep up with all the maintenance, projects and people needs. Road trip to NY again for daughter. Not doing to well. Will see what the...

70 outside this AM. Overcast and grey. May touch 80 later, way better than 90's. Yesterday was long. Weed whacking...ugh..more this AM. Need to run to the local hardware store, need supplies and wood. I actually ran out of wood and screws for my various building projects. Really. Wife and...

Too much emphasis on lift capacity. Grab it...lift it...too heavy....make another trip. I would return focus to that field the farmer is maintaining for you. What is the overall lot size for everything you have?

74 outside this AM...guess.....heading to - 90's. Sorry for you loss Ron. M7040, prayers for conclusive results on the positive side. Wishing Buppies well. Yesterday spent the day on the ZTR. Even in fast mode had to stop a few times to catch my breath and drink some water. It was too hot to...

Very flat surface area, and grasses less than two feet tall, known area, bucket is up.

My wife does the tractor work. I get the ZTR and other mowers. The ZTR is too rough for her. Heck it beats me up and I thought I knew where all the rough patches are. LOL. I don't get much tractor time at all. Blasphemy -> I don't really miss it.

71 outside this AM. Heading into the 90s...again. On the agenda today is mowing. I snapped this turtle pic by our koi-less pond. Need to get the wife's camera out. They hear you coming and slip away. TGIF gang. Struck out on the beer run. Will try a different direction this AM. The horror...the...

Ok...I will start looking at screws and whatnot. Lol. Thanks.

Well....good idea. But no time to do it...heck have not even called dealer. Kind of on overload for the next week or so.

Well, others have said they can get frigid in their tractors. And, two other things, the first year I had this machine, I don't recall breaking a sweat, ever. The other thing, I have water coming down the glass, and wife reported the right side headliner, upper right back, is wet. Something is...

Not seeing your link. Or is that the purpose, there is no land "confiscated"?

I saw that. Maybe better reporting, more information from sources, or the ocean is just getting more nasty. I had two friends get caught in some a couple of years ago. One made it to shore, the other had to get the Coast Guard involved. They don't speak to each other now. It was pretty scary.

70 outside this AM. Heading into the 90's again. In the pattern of Hit and Miss t-Storms and just oppressing humidity. My wife does not handle the heat or humidity. Me on the other hand, don't matter. I hydrate well, only thing is I have to force myself to eat. No appetite. Yesterday she...

Yeah...I did that at the beginning of my careers at a few places...then encryption came along....then key recovery....kind of put a blockage in place if you are not in the place you can recover your keys at. I find in some places old ideas are new again. Personnel turnover and lack of...

In some businesses there is a thing called record retention policies. And depending on the business dealings there are time limits and procedures that must be tested to retrieve said records that fall under certain policies. In one place I do business with I have over 20 years of emails...

Sounds like a communications problem. Define permanent, comes to mind. Could be a matter of time or process, or even based on rule-sets.

IT people should know better than sending any data off-site or out of clearly defined company boundaries. It matters. You should bring this to the attention of upper management.

Renewable to me is the source, not the chain. Some types of "Natural" gases are renewable.

68 outside this AM. Hard to believe that. Been a long while since it was that cool. Heading up to 90 later and yes, the humid air is returning. Rain on tap for the next six days. The Hit or Miss type t-Storms. Got lots of yard work on the agenda today. And a plumber coming by, hope for a good...

What are the IT people hoping to accomplish by installing these AI modules? Seems to be a serious lack of security processes.

I took a longer look at the parts diagrams. Then looked at the tractor. That helps. Lol. Seems I can access the area of interest without taking the roof off. It looks to be bolted under the roof outside the cab over the rear window. I hope to speak with a service manager after the holiday...

Public domain comes to mind.

Happy Fourth! To everyone. Hope all have a really good day in whatever you partake in. 71 outside this AM. Some storms moved through the area yesterday, no rain for us. Humidity still an issue. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes for the daughter. Impossible burgers and Ballpark franks...

Apple. A 3 trillion dollar company built on the backs of slave labor. And proprietary technology across its whole product lines.

Yep. It is up there temp wise. And I am breaking a sweat in the cab.. and I am not in full sun all the time. Just does not feel cold coming out of the vents...and the water dripping down the right side window tells me something is plugged....

All is clean. I get the oven part, but I should not be sweating getting out of this thing. Something is not right. I saw the parts diagrams, thanks.

I will probably return it to the dealer. I don't have the time to mess with it. And by your note, looks like a two person job. Thanks for the info,

Our MX seems to not be cooling properly. Cab model. LOL. Dealer said all was well. Noticed a water leak on the drivers right side up by air vent. What is under the roof as far as parts go? What do the drains tie into? And how best to inspect and clear if plugged?

82 outside this AM Hit and Miss t-storms moving through possibly. Been extremely dry here. Wife doing ok, daughter not so well. Seems to have taken a turn for the worse these past few weeks. Heading back up to NY, next week. Milk House mostly done. Just need to cut concrete for plumbing. And...

So here in my neck of the woods, two solar projects just got canned by the county planning commission. The developer has now started the legal process of suing the planning commission. On a similar front a data center developer courted the county on a new site. Submitted plans which were...

80 outside right now, heading to just a tad below 90. Welcomed wife back from trip last night, seeing her off in a few again. Medical issues with family members. I'll be intermittently visiting here for the next month or so. I have the fort to hold down and full time jobs that need attention...

Sorry to hear about that stress level. Always have a backup plan to the backup plan. Pays to keep in touch with old coworkers. Good luck to you. I am sure it wears on you, and management seems to forget about the trust level. An old saying "...the beatings will continue until moral improves..."

100 year old concrete. Sealing just to keep the dust down. It is an old Milk House, looks to have a very smooth finish coat. I am in the process of washing it down with a sponge just to "clean" it further. Occasional foot traffic only. No equipment or animals will utilize the space.

Wow...just wow. That's a great find. Very nice. and great pics too.

35 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's. Managed to get into the wife's tractor yesterday (she is not home) and mowed a back pasture for a few hours. It was sure nice not dressing up for the occasion and listening to tunes while doing it. Spent more time with the weed whacker too. Nothing on...

Happy Anniversary. It is a great forum. Lots of good people and great stories.

The older I get, I like the functionality and features of the new trucks. I also like the turn key and go aspects of newer vehicles. Just don't have the time, nor the tools, nor do I want to invest in either, maintaining stuff anymore. Just changed out a truck tire on the 1500 the other day...

Hang in there Buppies. We are all sending our best for more positive outcome for you. A news tidbit last night, seems the mRNA vaccines are showing promise against various melanomas. There is always hope.

Looking for a decent concrete sealer for indoor use. Around 400 square feet in a climate controlled area. I'd like to hear some recommendations and pro's and con's for application and dry/use time. Thanks!

39 outside this AM. WTH. Heading to low 70's today. Yesterday I had some running around to do. Got the postmark for the check to the Treasury. Ugh. Hope it gets spent well. Returning home I got ready for mowing duties. Yeah, I dress up for the occasion. I spot checked the yard...

56 outside this AM. Mid 60's expected today. Storm front moved through last night. Will play pick up sticks today, and finish the mowing duties. Weed whacked the good part of the day away yesterday. Step counter had me at just over three miles with the whacker. I look to be averaging a tank...a...

I have had some survive the racket hit. I am troubled that they are going into the oak. I just saw new holes yesterday. I will check your suggestion out.

I have whacked seven of them in the past three days. Light wood, dark wood, pine, oak, painted or not....makes no difference to the ones I have here. I sprayed wd40 into a few holes this AM. And have the racket handy by the door. LOL.

Depends on what is pulling them.

63 outside this AM. Heading to upper 70's. Grey out this AM, fog/mist hovering over the pastures. Finished the Milk House big room painting last night. Today is window trim and door. And need to cut some grass. Hope all have a great wekend. Be safe.

Just got public notice on a 500 acre proposed Solar Farm 2 miles down the road from me AND a 66 acre proposed data center (1.4m sq ft) 1 mile up the road. LOL. Neither will serve my community. Both sit on "good farmland". Both have infrastructure tie in. Although the datacenter may need a...

53 outside this AM, heading to upper 70's. Managed to get the shopping run done for paint, supplies and most importantly beer and brats. Started final coat of paint on Milk House, inside, also managed to plug holes around the bathroom entrance with concrete mix and parging. May need a skim...

Especially those claiming crop losses.

Have some cheetos. Crunchy are best.

Hack...cough..Mary Kay pink.... The horror...the horror...

Well Lou, you seem to be better. Take that as a positive and keep moving forward. You'd think a congestive heart failure would be more readily id'd by now. Stay well.

Doubt that, the foxes gorge themselves on my neighbors eggs and chickens. Very rare to see them in the back forty. LOL. I have "city folk" that moved here a few years back. I hear them rebuilding their coops and fence lines.....every other day. LOL.

46 outside this AM, heading to upper 80's. Need another coat of paint on the Milk House. The concrete is really sucking it in. I did not manage to get out yesterday, so today is definitely a shopping day. Fox kept me up most of the night, right outside the bedroom window. Also on the nature...

47 outside right now, heading to lower 80's today. Spent the day yesterday with the weed whacker. It's like a two day job. I really should be spraying fence lines, the wife is worried about upkeep in a few years time. Anyway, time to mow the back lawn again. We in this corner of the world have...

Sorry for you. Ahh....I'd ask for a different antibiotic. Read the side effects and take heed. I hope you recover quickly and fully.

I too suffer from $$$ signs. They abound in my driveway. LOL. I always catch a few contractors "shooting for the moon".

Ouch, how long is the driveway? Been a want of mine for a long time. But I have close to 2000 feet and a turn about area. A chunk of change for sure that I just cannot seem to part with. LOL.

36 outside right now, heading to upper 70's. Managed to get some of the lawn work done, need to walk with shame on the weed whacker around the house. Wife helped out on painting the Milk House, one coat on. The concrete work came out nice, she is very happy with it. She is leaning towards...

I spent a lot of time in countries like that. Something to be said about feeling safe.

China is in economic decline. I imagine in two to three years, India will be the number one producer of solar kit. As far as a New World Order, it has always been about the United States of America, and its allies. Everything else is nonsensical.

Accountability and respect for life. Any life, animals included.

Hard day. Hope she can recall the best of times and good memories.

Fellowship of friends. A very nice ring to it!

Following closely. Good luck to you all and please keep us posted on your progress and work.

Internet services just add another layer of complexity to the authentication process. Some people I know are challenged just to logon and then login to another account. Heck some cannot even find the power button. Most all I know can read and make a phone call. LOL.

31 outside this AM, heading to mid 60's. Yeah... guess Mr. Freeze is not done with us yet. Shame too. We really look forward to spring with the variety of flowering we get. This year it is start, freeze, wilt cycling pattern. Only the silver maples and the walnut are still sleeping. Since they...

Daughters best friend just passed at 31 a few days ago. She is helping the family clean out and recover documents, affairs and electronics this weekend. My daughter called last night and said she now understands my folder and letters in the drawer.

How are the getting the power into the "system" will new lines and a substation have to be built? That's the biggest issue we face here. The integration points for the farms traverse other people properties and well....120 foot tandem towers are not pretty sitting a few hundred feet from a house.

30 outside right now. Heading to 60 today. I think this freeze has done in the last of the late blooming daffodils. Too bad. The dogwoods and redbuds may have suffered some damage too this AM. The lawn has a nice crunch to it walking the dog this AM. Hope this was the last of the freeze cycle...

43 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Yesterday turned out to be an inside day. Grey, somewhat wet, chilly. Played pick up siticks and retreated to the comfort of the home. Today, road trip to in laws. Happy Easter to all. Hope all on the mends and staying healthy.

What locations do not allow for grid tied battery systems? Is this a locality thing or state?

We have view easements in my general area.

Nice, keep us informed as to how it goes.

Except when they come to hookup infrastructure and put towers through your yard because of you know - Eminent domain. It pays to be heard and informed in your community.

Around these parts the "losing valuable farm land" argument makes me cringe. No one that I know of buys farms to farm. Most farmers are elderly and looking for a way out because even their family members have moved on to other occupations. These land tracts that are up for solar development...

LOL. In a zoned residential space? I mean that's what I take out of suburban. Most suburban spaces around here are lucky if they have a few trees left on any lot. Green space is a patch of lawn.

54 outside this AM, that should be it for the high today. Rain moved through last night. As usual for our corner of the globe, predicted thunderstorms that get the news people all in a tissy fit, split up and went right to the north and south of us. Managed to get the mowers out for the second...

LouNY mentioned "good agricultural soil". You might want to sit in on your local governments planning commissions and figure out strategies on zoning uses. Then get with your local governments representatives and figure out which way they are leaning. This solar installs always come with the...

So sorry for your loss. You obviously were trying to do the right thing. That's what matters.

67 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's with rain expected this afternoon. Nice ride RNG. Hope all have a great day. Be well, stay safe. To those ailing, get better sooner.

Sounds like me.... My first CC tryout, the guys took off like it was a sprint. I knew I was in trouble from the get go. LOL.

My problems are with noise. Especially when one has acreage and insists on running on the property lines. We have noise ordnance rules for certain decibel output. When you hear it in your house a quarter mile away...it is an issue. Cannot imagine being closer. Very disrespectful...IMHO.

I used railroad ties to hold everything in. Some types of sand move a lot. What kind of sand? I may have missed that.

56 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. Warm. Did not get to grass as planned. day sort of just wasted away with minor stuff here and there. More concrete work in the Milk House. Pargeing and crack repairs. Time consuming. Hope all have a great day. Be safe, get well. It's hump day, already....

RNG, that's a spectacular view. Just had to say.

57 outside this AM, heading to 80. Yep....80. Looks like today is grass cutting day. Second time. Still wrapping my head around that. Daffodils remind me of the crazy weather every time I step outside the back door. They got beat, yet some are still in bloom. Mother Nature is resilient. Today...

I get that, Except in my current situation the codes submitted are the same codes submitted prior. Yet "my plan" does not cover the submittal. Why? Well "my plan" is under BCBS, and yet somewhere, somehow the provider is linking into a different BCBS "my plan". Pretty bizarre. And it takes...

Every year I go through coverage issues with my plans. Every year. I realize Health Care plans are complex. But when you have the same procedures done year after year, and you have to engage BCBS about why one visit is covered and another is not, there is a serious problem. I don't trust...

34 outside this AM. Weather people said to expect 70 later today. Hope all have a great day and good start to the week. To those ailing, heal fast and hoping for positive outcomes and results.

Never knew that. Thanks!

Lancaster?

In my area, that's about the going rate for a tree. Save a chunk and make a wall clock out of part of it. Since it has good memories.

33 outside right now, should get to 60 today. Rain moving in tonight...and probably Saturday too. I mowed my fields and "lawns" yesterday for the first time. Even got the weed whacker out. I was not ready to start this early...but it has greened up here rather quickly. On the Milk House, the...

38 outside this AM, be lucky if we get to upper 50's today. Weather patterns have absolutely wrecked our flowering plants. Our daffodils look ragged. Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Condolences Don.

37 outside this AM, Should touch 60 today. Hope all have a good day. Be safe in what you do.

42 outside this AM, may touch 60 today. Should be dry for a few days. Sorry to hear about whipper.

So true. So funny. The plane, not the sickness. Puddle jumpers comes to mind.

61 outside right now. That's the high for today too. Rain moving in shortly and will be with us until tomorrow. Yesterday we managed to get to 82. Warm and toasty. I got in a grocery run, but only came back with half of what we needed. Had to settle for favorite beer in cans. The horror. I am a...

I quit flying a couple of years ago. I just had enough of travel. I found entry and exit into the US of A to be more troublesome then entry and exits from Unions or Monarchies. I set my mind that flying would be a hassle. Anything less than a hassle was considered a great day to rejoice. I...

Every time I say I am going to get my tax papers in order....I don't. Still procrastinating on my part. I know I owe, just a matter of how much. Maybe that's the reason for the lack of interest.

50 outside this AM, heading to 78. wngsprd is one degree warmer, expected, he is south of us. LOL. Rain pushed through a few hours ago. Nothing on the agenda. Need to let hands and fingers recover from all the construction work these past few weeks. Numerous splinters and cuts. Dry too. Not...

Yes.

A stunning eye opener when you did that. Showed where I was hanging out way too much.

50 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's with rain moving in and out the next few days. Flowers looking sad after taking two hard freezes in a row. I took a break from most everything and got a haircut yesterday. Took about two inches off. I look like a different person. LOL. Got back and...

23 outside this AM, heading to lower 60's. All I can say is too bad for the flowers. The coyotes seemed to hang around the house last night. And this AM I see every light on every outbuilding is on. Guess the wife was trying to get their attention. Am sure I will hear about it later. Nothing...

I am just saddened by the number of alcoholic beverage containers I find at the end of my driveway and along the road. Then there are the meal choices to deal with. I just don't get it, how some people think it is OK to go and throw.

19 outside this AM, heading to 50. This early AM will take a toll on the flowers, unfortunately. No skimming done, was too cold, played pick up sticks and move rotting wood to the burn pile with the wife. She drove, I loaded. Tractor started right up after months of no use and the cab was nice...

Using a mortar and additional acrylic mixture. In some areas I still have original mesh showing...in others just holes...and lastly where the doors were....plywood and framing. I experimented a long while ago and this mix held up over a years worth of seasonal cycling. No cracks or loss of...

Danger...danger... That's a rabbit hole the middle class has been sucked into.

28 outside this AM, Heading to lower 40's. Need to feed the wood stove today. Yesterday was spent delivering the weasel cage to the rescue. The lady has a super nice place that she rehabs and releases wild life on. While we were there for drop-off, two adopters came for weasels. Never knew...

:LOL:

38 outside now, heading to lower 50's. I don't remember what I did yesterday. On the Milk House, I adjusted some hues on the LEDs. That required a trip up into the attic. I also noted I wired a switch wrong. Wrong side of wall to wrong set of lights. Bathroom switch turns kitchen light on...

LOL. The packaging actually got smaller. On a lot of products. Notice the size of some brands of bath soaps of late?

When others seek you out, especially in government, you should be proud. Well done!! Edit: And just a few minutes ago the ICC announced war crimes arrest against Putin.

That's a good thing you are doing.

Maybe regional. Around here...and specific to a friends business he cannot find skilled carpenters. Even offers sign up bonuses. An HVAC business moved into recently, has a sign up looking for techs, across the road from them, a builder looking for skilled carpenters, laborers and foremen. The...

Sorry to hear that. I hope you both can rapidly get better.

They position themselves under the reentry vehicle before it gives up its warheads thusly intercepting them before impacts. LOL. I once looked at a place in Montana that had a silo carved out on the property.

Feel better, fingers crossed for the wife.

The job market is still wide open. Figuring out how to get people interested in working a better job may alleviate their consumption and commuting woes.

55 outside this AM. Heading to lower 60's. Some rain expected...tonight. Yesterday was a delight. Lots of walking around the property. Lots of stick piles with the wind storms that have passed through. The burn pile needs attention, soon. With the "warmer" weather I might try mixing up some...
