Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all
early doc appt at dermatologist, then dentist appt for new crown later today.
Expensive and unpleasant for sure.

51 going up to high 60's in clouds today

ron, glad you had a tractor to load all those bricks.

Kilroy, I'm guessing in retirement you said "how far away from here can we get?"....having spent many years working/driving all through NJ.
Although NW NJ was always a favorite area, up in the mountains and away from the traffic and urban bad air.
My late wife was a charge nurse at main hospital in Trenton. Did mostly ER and ICU. 20 years of doing that wore her out..."nothing like a good shooting or stabbing
to make the night go by".

I'm always amazed Jay survived his profession. Being surrounded by crazy people has a toll on you.

Local dealers here starting to get inventory back on lots. I see a few Grand L's at Kubota dealer, but mostly smaller tractors.
Nice MX5400 with cab showcased. We just don't have enough real agriculture in this area to support larger equipment.

have a great day guys.

Dad on the tractor again yesterday, said he pulled a tree out.
Bought a rather cheap game cam on Amazon for my VA lot. It arrived as 2 in a box, so I got 2, I was expecting 1. Not sure if Amazon made a mistake or if that is how they were sold as a box of 2. But I thought it came with SD card and batteries but didn’t, must have been a different one I looked at.

62 going to 71. Woke up earlier to rain. Maybe more coming in later this morning.

Kil, nice addition to the family.

Ron, nice shot of that Oriole...we only rarely see them here.

Had a slo-mo day yesterday, but did a dump run and hike to the river.

am waiting for the grand unveiling pics of Ted's new planters.
Arid climate gardening is very different and I think interesting.

Exactly.

a good friend’s wife was head ER nurse at UMDNJ for a number of years - she and your wife could trade stories and horrify everyone around them. I learnedvery early that, when responding to an ER on an LE matter when all hell is breaking loose, showing up with a big box of DD Munchkins and a Box O’ Joe goes a LOOOOONG way toward cooperation with the ER staff.

bribery works

I knew we were acclimating to our new residency when, about three years ago, a lone ambulance siren on the state road over the ridge 1/4 mile away woke us up in the middle of the night. . .

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

57.6F, going to low 80s.

YAY! NEW TOY!

That I don’t know how to run…. But at least I didn’t break anything or hurt anyone.

and I even managed to get two small stumps out!

Raking is HARD.

I think i will paint the track levers red and green, as well as the visible portions of the frame near the idlers and drive motors, until I get the hang of operating in a 360° machine.

I also think I will try the controls in backhoe mode today, since I don’t have and muscle memory yet for ISO, just to see what is easier for me.

I may even get Mrs. to at least try driving it back and forth a bit later today, after pulling more stumps…

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

Zion has a cold and being treated with meds. He is feeling bad and loves to lay in front of the humidifier to get some relief.

Yes raking and scraping require coordination between changing elevation with one hand and moving the bucket in with other hand.
Be sure to use the blade to protect from tipping when pulling, lifting hard especially with the boom extended
