OP, sorry for the loss of your dog. It’s always a miserable punch to the heart. We’ve always had several pets so we’re no strangers at the vets office. It does seem that vets today are more reliant on tests ($$$) than going on a gut feeling or intuition. For example, two years ago we took our...

Owners manual calls for valves to be adjusted at the 600 hour mark. Thought I would attempt this myself but not sure of the procedure. Specifically, knowing when the cylinder is at TDC. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Thank you! It was a long term project. Still have a vacuum 2-speed rear end to install if I ever get around to it.

I really like old dump trucks! This one has a flathead V8(100hp) and a crash box 4 speed. About the only thing it hauls these days is me with a big grin on my face.

Gotta love the old trucks! That truck deserves better than to be wasting away in a gravel pit. Do you recall the manufacturer of the dump body?

The tag on the glove box door says 12,500 GVW and the truck weighs about 5300lbs.

A little bigger and newer than a Model A. Took several years to restore but was a fun project. Driving it is like stepping back in time.

We just can't catch a break from the rain here in Pa. We get one nice day then 4 or 5 days of rain. I can't use the lawn tractor for mowing most areas of my yard and even the push mower is questionable. Irritating but not near as bad as what those in the midwest are going thru.

Hello and Merry Christmas to all of you. Very nice day today as it was sunny and in the mid 60's. I could get used to these mild winters real quick! I haven't been around the forum much lately and it is good to see most of the regulars are still here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I can't upload pics either. Tried from my macbook and no go???

Question for you guys versed in the HVAC realm. First, my system is totally electric forced air with heat pump and air handler. Is it normal for my 16 seer(sp?) heat pump to run when the outside temp is below zero? I thought that these things were only good down to about 32˚ or so and then the...

Good morning! Just brought the dogs in from their morning routine and it is -13˚ out there - dang it is cold! Hopefully Buppies can forecast a warming trend for the NE soon. Be careful everyone and have a good week.

We have Anthem but haven't heard anything from them yet. Hope that is a good sign but I may still freeze my credit report with the big 3. Frustrating to say the least.

Good morning all! What a mess out there this morning. Yesterday we got about 6" of snow till about 3pm. I plowed the drive but left about a half inch of snow on it. Then it turned to rain overnight. Now it is 18˚ and my drive has about 1.5" of solid ice on it. I guess I'll go throw some sand...

Good morning! Light snow falling and temp is 28˚. Calling for 4 to 8" of snow with some rain thrown in for good measure. I have a nice fire going in the wood stove and have no particular place I have to go. I love days like these. Be well and enjoy the Super Bowl.

Good morning everyone. It is 21˚ with snow. We got about 4-5" overnight so I was out plowing the drive before the wife heads to work. My hands are freezing and I wish I could find a descent pair of gloves or get hand warmers for the wheeler. Stay safe and don't over do it shoveling the snow!

Merry Christmas everyone!! Yesterday it was 57˚until the front blew thru and now it is 40ish. Wish we had some snow but at least it isn't raining. Hope everyone has an excellent day. Now back to the Christmas Story marathon.

Morning all. Only 20˚ here this morning. Yesterday I plowed the wet snow off the drive and today it is like an ice rink out there. I spread a salt/sand mix around so at least it is navigable on foot. I'm so not ready for this weather!

Morning all. Hovering around 32˚ with wet snow and about an inch on the ground. Tomorrow's low is 8˚ with a high of 21˚ - burrrrrr! Great looking cat JD! Unfortunately our cat Tyler is probably making his last trip to the vet today. He is 19 and hasn't eaten since Thursday. Unless the vet finds...

I have a Henry Golden Boy lever action in 22mag. Great little gun that is fun to shoot. It has a heavy octagon barrel and is very accurate. I use it to keep the ground hog population in check. Joe

Good morning! Foggy and 40˚ with a high of 60˚ today. Ordered a Cyclone Rake to deal with my endless supply of oak leaves. It should arrive some time next week. I should have ordered it months ago but why do it now rather than later. I really have to stop procrastinating. Ah, maybe tomorrow...

This was a tall (60-90ft) Tulip tree I had taken down by a local company. I had used this company before and was pleased with their work. The tree was about 15 feet from my house and several large branches hung over the roof. The plan was to use the bucket truck and a nylon rope, run thru a...

Good morning everyone. Sunny and 55˚ here with not a hint of rain in the forecast. The leaves around here are starting to turn and it seems awfully early since it is still September. One caution about using Angie's list. I signed up when we were planning our kitchen remod intending to only have...

Man recovering after getting chainsaw lodged in neck | www.wpxi.com Another reminder to be careful out there!

Buppies, I don't even listen to our local Wx people anymore because your predictions have been spot on! I'm getting tired of pushing snow. Got another 4-5" of snow today even though the local forecast was for 1-2" at the most. Look out Drew, its headed your way now!

These two have had enough of winter! Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Wow it is cold! Sunny but the temp is -11˚ with a high of only 3˚ today. All schools in the area are closed. I have the woodstove fired up and I'm not going anywhere today unless absolutely necessary. Be careful out there folks!

Good morning all. We got a perfect Christmas snow last night - not enough to make for bad roads, but enough to cover the ground. Sunday the high got up to 65˚ and today it is 20˚. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! God Bless.

I think it gives a slightly better cut than a bush hog. My flail is considered a rough cut model as it only has 56 knives as opposed to the finish cut model which has 88 knives. Never used a bush hog so I can't give an accurate comparison. The flail works fine for my needs. Sent from my iPad...

Mowed the clearing for the first time this year. I think it's time to sharpen the knives on my flail mower - not looking forward to that job. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Good morning! Currently 19˚, sunny with calm winds. Got two brush piles burned this weekend because the conditions were just right - damp ground and calm winds. Have a good one!

Good morining! Damp and foggy here with temp of 32˚. Going to burn some brush piles if I can get them lit. Great day to be alive. Have a good one!

You ride in the snow and you probably will see your name in the obits :) Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Ya, it is kinda somber when your peers start to fall. I try to make the most of every day cause you just never know. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Good morning! Currently 24˚ with sleet and freezing rain. Took the wife to work and got back before the roads got too bad. Supposed to be all rain by this afternoon. Have a good weekend!

Amen to that! Every day that I don't see my name in the obits is a good one! Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Good morning! A chilly 18˚ with light flurries here this morning. Wintery mix tomorrow and mid 30's for the weekend. Messed around outside yesterday clearing some brush. I've got about 12 piles now that need burned when conditions are right. Have a good one! Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Good morning! It's 15˚ with flurries and a high of 24˚. Big decision for the day is whether to stay inside and do some painting or go out and burn some brush piles. Hmm, I hate painting. Have a good one.

Good morning! Rainy and 35˚ here with falling temps later today. Too many projects to do with too little time. Have a good one.

Good morning! 12˚ with calm wind and light flurries. Got home Wednesday and the temp was 66˚ with rain. Thursday morning woke up to 27˚ and snow squalls. At least we didn't lose any trees when the front blew thru. Have a good weekend!

Good morning! Just came in from taking the dogs out and the mercury says 2˚ with sunny skies. Supposed to get some snow on Friday and temps in the 20's for the weekend. Looks like a heat wave, a tropical heat wave. Have a good one!

Good morning! Oh man is it ccccccccccold. I took the dogs out and the thermometer said 4˚. Have to get the wood stove fired up. Have a good one and stay warm!

Good morning! 19˚ with snow flurries and a high in the mid 20's. The ground is frozen so I may get the tractor out and pile some brush for burning. Have a good one!

Yep, those quints can be mundane:D

Good morning! Very windy here and 28˚. Lost power for a few hours early this morning. Not a good day to be outside for sure. Have a good one!

Good morning! 22˚ and clear here with a high of 30˚. Warmer tomorrow but then the temps drop with highs only in the teens. Have a good one!

Good morning! About 30˚ here and overcast. I have to find some newer style rims that will fit on a 1946 1.5 ton truck. The original rims are the old "suicide rims" and nobody will work on them anymore. The tires are 7.00-20 and they are obsolete also and difficult to find. Have a good one! Don...

Ya, who am I kidding. Your'e right:D

Oh man! Can't we just stick to local weather observations and mundane household chores to do:thumbsup:

Good morning! Currently 29˚ with a light coating of snow and a high of 39˚ and sunny. Another Arctic blast predicted for early next week with highs only in the teens. Have a good one!

Good morning. 52 and the sun is burning off the dense fog we had last night. Supposed to get an inch of rain tonight, then colder temps next week. Have a good weekend! Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Good morning all! It's 43 with light rain and tomorrow should hit 62. Crazy weather for January! But, it is Friday. Have a good one! Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Great news Army grunt! Starting out at a brisk 25˚ here with some high clouds. Should make it into the 50's today and a high of 62˚ for the weekend. I'm off for a morning stroll before the snow turns sloppy. Have a good one!

Good morning! 29˚ and overcast with a high in the 40's. The plan is to take advantage of the warmer temps and take down the outdoor Christmas decorations. Have a good one! JD, hope all goes well at the proceedings. I hope jmurray's situation improves soon.

Good morning! A crisp 22˚ and clear here this morning. Warmer temps for the rest of the week. Might fire up the tractor and drive around a bit before the ground turns too gooey. Have a good one! Nice pic Army grunt! That could be a Hallmark Christmas card.

Good morning! 25˚ and overcast here with a high in the mid 30's. Supposed to be near 60˚ by the end of the week. My yard will be a muddy mess for sure. Have a good one!

Good morning! 25˚ with light flurries here. Suppose to have warmer temps for a few days next week, then more frigid temps. Have a good one!

Good Mmmmmorning! A balmy 4˚ this fine morning with a high slightly above that. Had to force the dogs out this morning to do their business and then they barreled right back inside. I do like this cold better than the 30's or 40's and the yard is a muddy mess. Have a good one!

Good morning. It is 18˚ and overcast with just colder temps in the forecast. Got the wife out the door for her first day back and am enjoying a nice cup of coffee. As usual the holidays went by in a flash. Have a good one!

Nice pics Roy. We have about the same amount of snow here too. Suppose to be in the single digit temps later. Brrrrrr!

The tractor looks good in there JD. Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday RJ!!! Just had one myself and they seem to be coming faster and faster.

Good morning all! Currently 29˚ and cloudy here. Temps are supposed to drop today and be in the low 20's for the high. Hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year. Going to get a fire going and enjoy the Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy. Have a good one!

x100!

Anyone out there into X-country skiing? I've been thinking of buying some skis and giving it a try. Seems like it would be a good workout and a nice way to enjoy the outdoors during winter. The local ski shop has a package deal for just under $300. We have some areas close by that might be good...

Good morning! 25˚ with snow flurries. We got another 5" of snow yesterday on top of the 8" that fell on Wednesday. I spent yesterday cleaning the drive and extending the snow shelf. Perfect day to get out the toboggan. Have a good one!

This is what I use and it works great. Grizzly with a Rhino snow plow. Just plowed after an 8" snowfall with no problem. Easy, fast, and doesn't hurt the blacktop drive.

Good morning! Mid 20's here and cloudy. Supposed to get more snow tomorrow so may get some more seat time on the atv. Have a good one!

We got about 8" out of Wednesdays snow storm and I got to use the atv for the first time. It did a great job and was fun to do. I push all the snow to the low side of the driveway and build a little snow ramp. The more snow we get, the longer the snow ramp gets. Looks like the forecast calls for...

Ya, I may have to do the same thing. The cable on my winch drum is looking like a birds nest.

Good morning! 26˚with about 8" of snow on the ground. The new atv does a great job plowing the drive. I really like having a winch to operate the plow rather than the manual lift I used to have. Have a good one!

Update. Started snowing about 10 a.m. around here. We have 3 to 4" of snow on the ground as we speak and it is snowing hard. I got the plow on the atv and am getting ready for a mid-storm plow. Looks like a descent storm coming our way.

Good morning all! Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. 28˚ and windy here this a.m. Supposed to get 8-12" of the white stuff today but so far nada, zip, zero. Have to put the blade on the atv and bring in some wood for the stove. Have a good one!

I'm a bit late today, so good afternoon everyone! It was 20˚ and cloudy this a.m. with a high in the mid 30's. Might get a storm with descent snow mid-week. Hope you all have a very merry Christmas. Don, hope Santa brings you another load of pavers!!!

Good morning all! Flurries and 28˚ here this a.m. and about 2" of snow on the ground. Going to get the wood burner fired up and just enjoy the weekend. Glad we seemed to have made it past the Mayan predicted EOW. Have a good one!

Wow, glad you are on the mend Army Grunt. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good morning all. A blustery 32˚ with snow flurries. Possible 2-4" of snow today. Might get to use my new atv to plow the drive. Oh, just in case the Mayans are correct, it has been nice talking to you folks!

Good morning all. Damp and 34˚here this a.m. with heavy rain/wind predicted for this afternoon. The rain changes to snow tonight and 2-3" accumulation by Saturday night. Looks like snow for Christmas is likely around here. Have a good one! Don, keep up the good work. The finish line is in...

Good morning! Rain and 37˚ here this morning. Rain forecast for the next several days:thumbdown: Guess I will finish up the Christmas shopping. Have a good one!

Yikes, better call customer service.

Moved up from a Yamaha Kodiak to this Grizzly. I really like the bigger engine and the fuel injection. Use it to plow the drive and pull a little dump trailer for yard work. And it's fun just to bop around the property. I think a utv would be overkill for me, but an enclosed cab would be nice...

Good morning! Currently 27˚ with frost and a high of 47˚. Rain tomorrow and thru the weekend. Unless the weather changes drastically, we won't be having a white Christmas around here. Have a good one!

Here is what I use for snow removal. It's a Yamaha Grizzly 550 with a 48" plow. It's bigger than the Kodiak I used previously and it has a winch instead of a lever to raise/lower the plow. Now if we would just get some snow so I can try it out!

Good morning all! Yesterday it hit 61˚ here and this morning it is 36˚ going to the mid 40's. Crazy weather! Anywho, have to get the Christmas Tree up and do some shopping - time is running out! Have a good one!

The box had correct info about me too. Don't know whats up with this but it is kinda intrusive. Anyway, it is 28˚ on its way to 51˚ and cloudy. Hope everyone had a good week!

Thanks for the info Roy. Hope the relocation is goes well for you. I do hate to see another taxpayer leave the state. Be well!

Being that I am not very tech savy with computers, I have a question. As I am perusing various threads here on TBN I sometimes run across a box that shows that I'm using a Mac, what my ISP is, and what browser I'm using. Whats up with that?

Good morning! Sunny and 25˚ here this morning with a high of 45˚. I bought my Power Ball tickets in Pa so I guess that rules me out as the big winner. Oh well, that much money would really complicate my life. Have a good one!

Good morning all! It's 26˚ here now but should hit about 40˚ for the high. Spent yesterday cutting up a small oak tree that the wind blew down. Will finish that up today and move on to some other exciting project. Have a good one!

Well it got up to 38˚ here today. Thanks to TXDon I now know where the "˚" symbol resides on a MAC:thumbsup:

Good morning! We had a dusting of snow overnight and it is 30* with a high of 40. Might split some wood today or find something to do inside. Have a good one!

Good morning all! Sunny but cold at 28* here this morning. It is the first day of deer (firearm) season here in Pa. Dogs go crazy every time they hear a gunshot. That is pretty much all the excitement we have going on around here at the moment.

Good morning! Cold - 28* with a lite dusting of snow on the ground. High only about 40* for today and the rest of the week. Glad I got the outside decorations up before the this cold snap.

Good morning! Chilly 28* here with snow flurries. Might have to get the wood stove fired up. Have a good weekend everybody.

Good morning! 48* here and that is the high for the day. Some rain is on the way and possible snow flurries tomorrow. Time to start decorating for Christmas!

Sunny and 27* here with a high of 59*. Possible snow flurries on Saturday. I got all the leaves picked up and the gutters cleaned out - I am a happy camper! Now I have to clean and store the mowers and put the snow plow on the ATV. Have a nice Thanksgiving everyone!

Don, I think it is safe to say that many of us on the forum are anxious to see the finished product. So get your butt out there and lay some brick! Clear and 30* here this morning with a high of 50*. The weather here has been gorgeous for this time of year and looks like it will be this way...

Good luck with the new job Roy! Moving is a pain in the behind - no two ways about it. Cloudy and 32* here this morning. Made some progress picking up leaves yesterday and more of the same today. I figure it is good exercise so I can eat more turkey on Thursday! Have a good one!

Clear and 29* here this morning with 53* the high. Great weather for collecting leaves and cleaning gutters. Have a good one everybody!

Good morning all! A brisk 29* and sunny here this morning with a high of 53*. Had to have a new cap and some joints repaired on the chimney. The guy I got did a nice job and the chimney should be good for a while. Yesterday the chimney sweep came and cleaned and inspected the flu. I guess I'm...

Good morning! 22* and clear with frost on the grass. Going to do some more yard clean up today. Found some downed trees and limbs from Sandy that need cleaned up, but will have to wait till I have some time off. Have a good one!

Good morning all! A frosty 28* here and clear. Been away for a while and is nice to be back. Have to get out and start vacuuming up the leaves. Have a good one!

Good morning. Weather is overcast with showers and 60* with a high near 70*. Not going to do much outside today - too wet. Randy, glad to hear the positive news! Best wishes. Jamie, great news on the job prospect! Hope it works out for you.

Good morning! Currently 41* and sunny with a high of 71*. Rain moving into the area tomorrow. Have a good one!

Good morning. Sunny, low 40's with a high in the 60's. Gorgeous Fall day to just enjoy this time of year.

Remember, you have to account for inflation!:D

Could that be 7 fluid ounces??

Cool find Don! A little bit of history there.

Good morning. Chilly 46* and damp here with a high in the mid 60's. Rain tomorrow so I can scratch off washing the car today. Don't know what the plan is for today so I'll just grab another cup of coffee and meditate a while. TGIF!

Good morning! Sun is just coming over the hill and the light is hitting the vibrant Fall leaves - beautiful !!! It's 52* now with a high in the mid 60's with rain this afternoon. Wish all the colorful leaves would hang around for a while. Have a good one.

Good morning all! 40* here and sunny, headed to 70* later. Looks like rain for the next few days. I got the bagger on the lawn tractor so I'm ready to start my war on leaves when they hit the ground. Ron, glad your back is feeling better. You'll probably feel another pain in the backside when...

Cloudy and 40* here this morning with a high about 50*. Calling for a low of 27* here tonight - Burrrrrrr! Have a good weekend everyone.

Nice to have you back. Congrats on the "job". Hope you get some good experience.

Good morning. It's 34* here with thin overcast and a high in the mid 50's and sunny skies. Have a good one!

Just filled the car with gas and it was $4 gal. for mid-grade. Diesel was $4.30 gal.

Good morning! Dreary and 40* here with a chance of rain. Time to put the rest of the deck furniture in storage. Have a good one!

Good morning! Currently 32* and foggy. Not going above 50 today. I have to get gas and diesel today so I'll see what we are paying here in W.Pa.

Good morning all! 34* here with light frost on the cars. Not supposed to get much above 50 today. Wife is off to work and I am left to deal with the leaves. Have a good one!

Damp and chilly 43* with a high of only 50. The leaves are really coming down so I guess it is time to hook the bagger up to the lawn tractor.

Good morning! Chilly 43* and damp here this morning and a high in the low 60's. Fall really is here!

I have to start storing the deck furniture also. I still need the push mower w/bagger to help p/u leaves. Not looking forward to that. At least it seems that the stink bug attack is declining.

Good morning! Clear and 57* here with a high of 70 and rain this afternoon. The leaves are changing and the color is just spectacular. TGIF!

Good morning! Cloudy and 53* with a high in the mid-70's. TS's tomorrow and then cooler. Yesterday was a big battle with "Stink Bugs". Don't know their actual name but they stink when smooshed. They were all over the back and south side of the house. I was out with the shop vac sucking them up...

Good morning! Got the wife off to work and am enjoying a cup of Starbucks Dark Roast. Had a little rain last night and now it is just gloomy and 55*. Hope it's not a total wash out today as I still have some mowing to do. Have a good one!

Good morning! Chilly morning at 37* and patchy fog with a high in the mid 60's. Finish up some mowing today as rain moves in for Tues and Wed. Have a good one! Sorry to hear about your situation JD. Hope it works out for the best.

Sunny and cool here this morning with a chance of rain this afternoon. A good day to just relax!

Good morning! Misty and 55* here this morning with showers possible and high in the 60's. Have to take a small load of junk to the dump today. Have a good one!

Sorry to hear that Roy and you are right - it sucks. On the positive side, with your talent and work ethic you will find another position. Hang in there.

Good morning! Dreary 58* with light rain and mist. High today of 68 with showers. Good day to work inside. Have a good one everyone.

Good morning! It is 43* and sunny here with a high in the 70's. Rain tonight and tomorrow. Got the wife off to work and am enjoying my first cup. Our kitchen is all torn up for the remod. You don't realize how much you appreciate something until you don't have it. Oh well, it will be nice when...

Good morning! It is damp and chilly here at 40* with a high of only 65 later. The guys are starting our kitchen remod today so that will be a mess for a while. Have a good Monday all.

Good morning. A chilly 40* and a high of only 55 today and mostly cloudy. Got my big brush pile burnt yesterday without catching anything else on fire - which is good. Have to clean out the kitchen today as the remodel begins tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Good morning. 56 here with showers and a high only in the 60's. Planning to burn the big brush pile today as the light rain should keep it from getting too hot. Have a good weekend all!

Good morning guys! It is a brisk 37* here this morning heading to 74 with lots of sun. Chased the wife out the door and am enjoying my first cup of coffee. Finally have a couple weeks off so I can get some of my "to do list" done. Probably start with changing the oil and filter on the tractor...

Good morining all! Chilly 40* this morning with a high in the 70's. This is my kind of weather! Got some mowing done yesterday and burned a couple brush piles. Some of the leaves are starting to change already - Fall is on the way.

Good morning! Cold front moved thru yesterday with some rain. I got the grass cut and then the temp dropped 15* in about half an hour. It is a chilly 54* here with a high of 70. Went to Agway yesterday and got some dust for the ground nests of bees. Going out now to hit them before the sun comes...

Good morning all! Got the wife out the door to work and having my 2nd cup of coffee. It is 54* here with a high of 84 and sunny. Still have a bee problem with ground nests. Looks like something tried to dig up the nest because now the opening is much larger. Guess I will try dusting the nest...

Good morning from Newark NJ. Chilly but clear morning. Hard to believe its been 11 years. NEVER forget.

Good morning! A very muggy 73* here this morning with scattered TS's possible. Went out early and sprayed two ground nests of bees before they woke up.

Well I just had a close call. Was out getting some exercise and just generally enjoying the morning when I noticed some insects buzzing around me. I looked down and about 2 feet in front of me was a ground nest of bees. I think they were yellow jackets but didn't hang around to fine out for...

Congrats on the new job Roy! Your persistence paid off in a challenging job market.

Good morning! About 67* with the sun rising and a predicted high of 80. We got a good soaking rain last night which was very much needed. Got the wife off to work and now enjoying my 2nd cup of coffee. Have a good one!

Good morning everyone. Currently 67* and sunny. TS's and a high of 80 for later in the day. Got the wife out the door for her first day back at school. Wow, where did the summer go?

Happy birthday Bill. Isn't 75 years a Diamond Jubilee or something like that? :)

Good morning! Comfortable 60* with some patchy fog and a high in the mid 70's. Got some rain last night.

Good morning all! Cloudy and 60* with a high of 80. Cooler temps and rain have really started the grass growing again. Much nicer weather for working outside. Have a good one!

Our current posse consists of a Collie, a Sheltie, and a German Shepherd. All great dogs with unique personalities.

Good morning! 65* and humid here. Had a good TS yesterday with lots of lightning. More TS's possible today then cooling off for the weekend. Have a good one everyone!

Irving, nice Tri-pacer. I always liked the looks of those - a real classic. Currently 61* and sunny. High around 90 today. Glad I don't have to do much outside today. Have a good one!

Good morning. 73* here with a high going to 87 and possible TS's. No real plan for the day - good day to goof off.

It is 63* and foggy here this morning with a high in the 80's. I've been away for a while and the grass/weeds are out of control. Guess I will get some seat time on the lawn mower if the grass dries up enough. Have a good one everyone.

We currently share the house with this crew. The sheltie and the collie were from breeders. We got the shepherd from someone who had rescued her and 3 of her litter mates. All are great dogs with their own personalities. We also have 3 cats - all strays. Ya, we are hard on vacuum cleaners.

Good mornng! A very pleasant 62* here and sunny with a high in the 80's. No rain in the forecast until possibly the weekend. Been out hunting groundhogs the last few mornings. Got one yesterday. Now only 2 or 3 more to go. They can really make a mess of the dirt floor in the shed.

Good morning! It's 68* here with a high of 87*. The humidity has subsided for now thank heavens. Still no appreciable rain in the forcast.

Good morning. 76* here and humid. The high today is only 87* - jacket weather after what we had last week.

Well guys, I backed the mower into the shop today to inspect the roller bearings and they seem ok to me. Both bearings had grease and seem to turn freely and the circlips were fine. The axle stubs look good with no signs of wear. I cleaned everything as best I could and reassembled the roller. I...

Another hot one on tap for today. It's 67* and humid with a high of 97*. I don't think we have actually hit the 100* mark yet this summer.

Good morning! Currently 71* here with a high of 98* - not the 100 that was predicted:thumbsup:. Now tomorrow it is supposed to hit 103*:thumbdown:. Don't know why, but I mowed the yard yesterday. It is mostly dry, brown patches with the occasional patch of green grass that needed cut. I think my...

Woke up early this morning. It is 73* here with a high of 94. Yesterday was very hot and humid and they are calling for a high of 100* for Friday. I don't feel like doing anything outside when it is this hot and muggy.

We have a cat that is just fascinated with water. He adopted us last summer when he just sort of wandered in one evening. The wife and I were sitting on the deck and just got up to go inside for the evening. My wife had one foot in the door and heard a meow. I said " I didn't hear anything just...

Glad your cat is home safe JD. We have 3 cats that stay inside. We used to let the older (he's 16) cat outside, but he kept crossing the road so we nixed that idea. How do you keep your cats close to home when you leave them outside? Currently it is 76* here with a high of 94 - very humid. We...

Good morning! Sunny and 64* here with a high of 95. The humidity is supposed to go up today along with the threat of TS's. We could really use some rain in these parts. My yard is a lovely shade of light brown:(. At least I don't have to mow it.

Good morning! Sunny and 63* here with a high of 90 - again. We had a TS roll thru last night and got about 15 minutes of much needed rain. Hope we get a few more showers this week.

Currently 80* going to 90. H3(hazy, hot, and humid) conditions prevail. Glad the A/C is working!

Come on,lets see the pictures. You've been laying those bricks since I was in high school:laughing:.

Good morning! Currently 71* and it is going to be hazy, hot, and humid with a high in the 90's. We had some thunder and lightning last night but very little rain. We really need some rain around here. On a side note. What is up with all those posts on the F-4 Phantom? Nobody reads or replies to...

Congratulations on a career well done! I would imagine that staying active and keeping some sort of routine will help in the transition to retirement.

Really nice job on the planter. The rock in that 3rd pic is a monster.

Nice planter JD but just looking at those rocks gave me a back ache! Now where did I put that Motrin:laughing:.

Good morning everyone. A cool 62* and sunny here with a high of 84. Ordered 3 ton of gravel for the one shed with the dirt floor. Have to get that down before the heat and humidity return. The ground hogs love to dig in that shed and they really tear the place up.

Sunny and 65* here. Love this mild weather. Heat and humidity will return at the end of the week.

Excellent example of recycling. Plus, you have a place to take your lunch break after a long morning of welding!

Good morning. 65* currently with a high of only 71 for today. This is my kinda weather

Good morning. Sunny and 68* headed to 85. Very nice since the humidity has dropped. Got some mowing done yesterday and sprayed some poison ivy and other weeds. That was my exciting Saturday!

Good morning! A nice 69* here and heading up to 84. Supposed to be much cooler next week and that fine with me. Spent all day yesterday planting shrubs and that heat and humidity about did me in. Gotta do the mowing today. Have a good one.

Good morning. 69* with a high in the mid 80's and a chance of thunder storms. The humidity is much lower today and the weekend is supposed to be nice. Cool enough to start mowing grass again. Have a great weekend!

Make sure to wear a wide-brimmed hat and drink lots of water! We got some serious heat going on.

Lots of sun. Lots of humidity. Currently 73*(and humid) on its way to 94 (with even more humidity). Didn't do much outside yesterday and probably won't get much done today either. Thank heaven for air conditioning!

JD, I've never experienced a kidney stone and hopefully never will - I hear they are BAD. Glad you are feeling better and you have my condolences about your uncle. Jamie, nice to see you are back:thumbsup:

Good morning all. Currently 75* here with a high of 92. Glad I mowed the "lower forty" yesterday because today is just going to be too hot and sticky. Here is what it looked like last summer and after I was done yesterday. Still have to plant some grass in the bare spots but it is looking better.

Good morning. 65* here with a high of 85. Calling for 95 and humid by mid week. We need more rain around here as the ground is very dry. Have a good week all.

Good morning all! It is 70* here with a high of 85*. Humidity is on the rise. Glad I got most of the mowing done yesterday when it was cooler. TGIF!

Now that is not true. You're not that old!

Under the "Today in History" banner, it is the 68th anniversary of the Normandy landings - D-day.

JD, you should send these M.I.A. guys a PM to let them know that their absence is wreaking havoc on the post count of this thread:D.

Good morning! A brisk 54* with the high of only 74. Excellent weather for outdoor chores as long as the rain holds off. Nice to be able to wear a long sleeved shirt while using the weed eater as I hit the occasional patch of poison ivy:(. Odd that Jamie hasn't checked in for a while. Hope all...

A chilly 55* here on its way to 80. Have to get the mowing done today as it is supposed to rain thru the weekend. Have a good one!

Sad but true. Seems to be the new American business model. A very pleasant 60* with a high in the 70's. We get a break from the heat and humidity for a couple days then rain for the weekend.

Ya, but they got character!:D

Well I just got chased inside by the thunderstorms. Good on ya JD for helping out the neighbors. That is a sweet looking motorcycle!

It is 73* here now with a high in the 80's and a chance of TS's. Should cool off a bit on Wednesday. Stay cool everyone!

Well today certainly was a hot and hazy one. Had a nice cookout with the family and generally milled about. Suppose to cool off later in the week. I certainly hope so as this humidity just knocks me out.

Good morning all. 76* on its way to 91* humid degrees. We had severe T-storms roll thru yesterday with hail and heavy rain. We did need the rain. Remember that we can do just about anything we want today because of those who wear, or have worn, a military uniform. God bless.

Good morning. 70* on its way to 90* - yikes! Mulched a few flower beds yesterday and am paying for it today with a sore back. Good day to stay inside and watch the race.
