Good Afternoon Drew,

Agreed Drew, the owner texted us and is reducing the rate for our first 4 nights and then on Wednesday morning we get upgraded to a nicer unit with better views !
So the guy that owns these units is from outside Toronto ! I sure hope it’s not my buddy Bill, L4N !! 😂😂

We are just upset that they couldn’t tell us that the place was being renovated before we even got here ! Hard to believe IMHO !!

We need to go out for a basic necessities run , and obviously some adult beverages! 😉😂

Hope all have a great evening ! 🙏
I own one place and it is this place. There is no place like this place anyplace, so this must be the place.

BEF, the company doesn't NEED to know everything I do on my off duty time.

Good Afternoon,
Anna Maria Island, we arrived to our building under renovation! 😒 Kathleen is not happy, she called the owner and he can’t give us a better condo to stay at until next Wednesday! Our friends should arrive here in an hour or so, hopefully we can figure out what to do ! Our windows are covered in plastic and scaffolding all around ! Not good ! 😒
Sorry you had this experience scott! Hope they make it right!

Good morning, the low is 55 and going to a high of 59°F. Wind SSW 15 mph. Showers. :(

If I want 'winter' fuel in my big tank I will have to wait until next November. Which I will. That will give me time to build up a credit with the new supplier. Getting paid weekly makes it so much easier to do this. A couple of hundred every week. I still have a $1800.oo credit with the current supplier which I found out buys whatever is cheapest. So I will burn down the current supplier for the house augmented with the new supplier out of the 500. Eventually I will be burning the new stuff exclusively.
It only sounds complicated, it isn't really.

The rain came down in buckets this morning at about 2 A.M. So hard that it woke me up with its' pounding on my steel roof.:)
My BH got washed.

Nothing planned for today, so I will probably go back to bed at about 6 A.M. or so and sleep til noonish.

Have a safe day all

Coffee is cooling in cup. 59° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 76° with rain and thunderstorms. Shop and barn have been cleaned. It was a nice warm day. Sat out on enclosed porch and enjoyed the afternoon warmth. No plans for today yet. May watch some NASCAR.

55 going to 85, 90 tomorrow? Got less than 0.1 in of rain yesterday, but stayed drizzly most of the day.

BEF, thanks for the Ellicott City pix and update. Gravity and water are so powerful. Geologists say the Blue Ridge used to be taller than the Rocky mountains...erosion takes its toll.

Scott, bummer on your place under construction.

Yesterday was the first day the litter of puppies were old enough "to have company"...too early to pick, so we played with all 10. Fun. Liked them all. Took " a thousand" pix. I could tell we've been out of the "dogs make you happy" world too long. Then off to do some shopping and meal at our favorite Chinese restaurant.

Morning all!
Currently 42 going to our first over 70 of the season.
Celebrated my inlaws 65th anniversary yesterday with a cookout.
Did some work at my cousin's place this week. Designed a stairway for his deck project and got the materials ordered. Depending on the weather might start the install next Saturday.
Mostly puttered around outside this week. To wet to get things done outside. Did get the oil changed in the nephew's car and put all the winter items for the tractor on pallets. Moved most of them out behind the storage building so they will be out of site for the summer.
Spent time in the shop getting things rearranged to hopefully be able to clean up easier. Not sure if I posted this project or not. The whole thing including the hat is made by me out of maple. All turned on the lathe.

Taking it easy today with just a few visits to do. Time for another coffee.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
