Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Grass was so wet from dew yesterday, decided to use the cool morning for a hike and swim for Della. On the trail, saw the Portuguese Water Dog, Kai, so had some good play time. Then split and stacked my last load of firewood. Should have quit after that, but got the big 60V battery out for the string trimmer and went at it. No energy left.

Glad to hear Della is back in action.

Scotty, it takes a while to grow a thumbnail back. Did you drill a micro hole to relieve the pressure? Ouch.

Popgadget, hope you didn't cut off too much with the peeler.

Buppy's prayers for Holly and getting your equipment going.

Ron, great pics. Love the cranes and flowers. Poor husband duck, hopefully his mate will go easy on him. Some of that morning cool air sounds good.

Hot 94F and HUMID. Sweat like a pig in just a minute outside. Wifey is cooking inside, so A/C is having to work overtime.

Our grass is growing fast.

ran some errands including dropping off some CalMag fertilizer to Ken for his garden, and getting to glide
down his beautiful smooth lane in the woods. Then it was off to check on the roses, fun to see new ones come in.
I did find two icebox watermelon plants to finish off the garden, but decided that was a job for tomorrow morning.
Going to be lazy this afternoon.
I might even go out and smell the roses, again...

Pigs don't sweat, that is why they wallow in a mud puddle.

Last fall I built a platform for the BH for overwintering. Today I moved it to its' new home, beside the fuel tank. Put the wood conveyor in the spot the BH was and the wood bucket in front. The wind picked up (10-15 mph) so I didn't feed the flies or fell any trees. Had fly dope (A mixture of Witch Hazel, Lavender oil, Tea Tree oil and Eucalyptus oil) on anyway. I works better than OFF with its Deet. Fueled the tractor when I got done.

they say pigs are very clean animals, until you get them near a mud hole.
now you inhabitants of the rust belt know all about pigs.
the ones that rust, not roll in mud:


Iron Smelting:
.
In the past, molten iron, after being poured into molds, would form into shapes that resembled a sow and her piglets. This type of iron was called pig iron.
Dew Point and Moisture: .

• As the pig iron cooled, the surrounding air would reach its dew point, causing water vapor to condense on its surface, forming droplets. This condensation was referred to as "sweating".
• "Sweating Like a Pig":

The phrase "sweating like a pig" evolved to describe this phenomenon, referring to the iron cooling and forming moisture on its surface.

so it's correct to say you are sweating like a pig. Just not the type that goes oink.

thomas you've been working hard on that firewood. Get it all nice and dry and organized by time October comes.
stacking firewood can be fun, how do you handle the lumpy ones and oddballs without weakening the stack.
And of course you can't put too many round ones by themselves as they tend to roll off the top
stacking firewood out in the open without end supports takes some skill I never quite mastered.
I always looked for a tree on one end at least.

Bill try not to be fly chow.

Wood cut 14" split down 8"dia, if odd pieces slit again.
Level ground thick hardwood pallets wood to stack on 6' high, if by chance back into stack wood it doesn't move on stack job.

Thomas if the national weather service is watching you they will be forecasting the worst winter in history with all the wood you are putting up

I have feeling soon northeast going to have old fashion winter...freezer full,fuel for generator tractor,critter food stock up etc. just hunker down as they say.

I used to prep real good, didn't last year and my salted sand pile got froze so hard I couldn't break through the crust with the loader
Not again, if it ever dries out abit. I'll get some more salt to top dress the pile with and then get it covered.

When flies etc. extra hungry I smear Woodmens fly dope on even keeps the Mrs. at bay.

 

[daugen]

a warm and muggy 76 out now, after some earlier rain.
Thomas is thinking far ahead about snow
while the rest of us are dodging summer's carnivorous flies.
think I might go sit outside for a little bit. Will take my kindle with me and
read quietly; the birds don't mind me while they eat.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.2C and it's presently 'rocketed' up to 1.8C [predicted High of 14C], mostly cloudy & fairly calm. I'll probably take my flagpole down this arvo as the wind is supposed to really 'pick up' for tomorrow. There was 3.3mm in the gauge @ 0730.

Typical Sunday with my heading out to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His. It's Pentecost Sunday (for those keeping track at home ).

That's about it, take care all.

 

[Looking4new]

Drew, I sit corrected.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Ahhh, but when I eat too much, I feel like a pig and I sweat!

Took at least 5 gallons of oil to Walmart for recycling.

Watching Pro Motocross outdoors today. Some good racing.

Celebrated oldest daughter's bday, she made travel plans for her birthday. She had some friends over. Didn't want pizza, she wanted chili dogs. Maybe 24 hot dogs got eaten, along with chips, beans, and cake. My wifey made an awesome cake at my daughter's request. Don't even know the name of it. My wifey says it wasn't "cake" but brioche (sp?). It had raspberries, peaches. One of the best pieces of cake I've ever had. My wifey has been working on it since yesterday. Double decker.

A good time was had by all.

That looks delicious Kyle I’m gaining weight looking at it. Did not get much done got oil filter for ExMark fuel filters for Toro and ExMark oil for both. Wife having really bad day carrying over to tonight. Nurse did not show up early enough to get puppy today kinda sad. She brought a little girl with her 11 years old very spoiled long day for sure. There’s always tomorrow

Nice driveway Ken

Pigs reminds me several years ago came home from work three piglets in back yard rooting up grass funny to watch lots of grunting. Owners came looking for them chase was on quite funny they did not have much success

Coffee has been poured. 55° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 75° with rain in late evening. Put some weed killer down. Trimmed shrubs around back barn. Hauled all the trimmings to chipper pile. Helped neighbor move about 10 yards of topsoil with tractor. Enjoyed time out on screened in back porch. When things dry out will cut field to east of house today.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Good morning TBN!!
61 this morning and supposed to get near 90 again today. Yesterday was Charlotte's first 90 degree day of the season.
Mostly R&R yesterday.
I did manage to separate the cut piece from the old tank and set it to go in the river today if, I can beat the rain.

Nothing else on my agenda for now.
I have been enjoying my swap from satellite to fiber. Finally the web pages are waiting for me rather then the other way around

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day
