Good morning!!!!

91 degrees in Giddings Texas
just polished off the last of Don's lasagna and then
topped that off with piece of home made apple pie
made by Kyle's wife and brought to me by Kyle.
I get pie and a fixed septic system, such a deal.

and what pie, lots of cinnamon which I love, and the crust, the
crust one could write sonnets about.
Kyle please tell your wife she makes the best pie crust in Lee County
of course it's the first pie crust in Lee County I've had but I'm certain
it must be the best ;)
despite Sat morning weigh in I ate that whole big piece she sent.
once you started something that good
you know you surely enjoy the moment
the flaky firm crust, nice fruit flavor

Don's lasagna was so good I asked for some to go.
Might just be some more apple pie around here...though with three kids
I can't imagine an apple pie lasting long.

It has been so long since I"ve had ice cream. Anyone make their own ice cream in Giddings? Need lots of dairy cows for that and I'm seeing more of four legged steaks around here.

I tried some almond milk at Don's. It was ok, a little thick, would need to be very cold, and I just buy organic 2% and I perhaps should feel forever guilty in not spending the extra two bucks to allow Bessie free ranging and a stall with her name on it When things come from animals, it is usually more appealing to me to not think of the exact source. But buying organic hopefully keeps me away from most of the bad pesticides. But not all.

I'd like a pill to get rid of all the forever chemicals in my body.
that would be quite the flush.

it was a fine day in Texas today.

need to ask our resident expert PJS,
what kind of organ pipes are they?
I was surprised to see an organ in this church
Might be an A M Moller pipe organ. Located in Hagerstown MD they made 1000's starting around 1875

My new office. I e-mailed the owners that I was released from the DR. to go back to work and about 30 minutes before I e-mailed Their Fall tractor driver had to go to Florida for his dying mother and they really needed me Sunday. I told them I would be there in an hour to orient myself with the tractor and their new procedures again since it has been two years. By the time I got home the Saturday tractor driver could also not work so I start a 9 hour shift tomorrow. I practiced going on and off the tractor with ny new shoulder and all is well.

Drew before you leave Texas you need to try some Homemade Vanilla Blue Bell Ice Cream. Brookshire Bros. will have it, a must with apple pie and made locally in Brenham, not too far from Giddings. They give free samples at the factory.

Good question. I know the mill is not running anymore. They may still sell some at the weigh in barn.

Don, that's a lot of tractor driving. Those big tall tires keep you up high I'll bet. Easy on the clutch as you take off.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 0.6C and it's presently 18.2C, clear with a gentle breeze.

Fortunately it was clear last evening and I was able to see the Aurora Australis... mostly shimmering white 'sheets' and spectacular 'beams'.

Yesterday's Launie trip was very successful. Good trip, there & back. Everything on my 'mental list' was found and only a couple of extra things that I didn't know that I needed. Seems that there was a 'sale' on everywhere I went. I got home by 1715.

Today will be spent washing new towels and a couple pairs of trackie-daks.

That's about it, take care all.

Trip to the farm went well. many stops on the way, Kubota to get more SUDT for the farm tractor (gotta get that fixed), then stopped by to look at land in WV, then down past Uniontown to get lunch and a homemade pie at a favorite place. Brought home a hot cherry pie just out of the oven. Stopped at Menards to look at ACX plywood. How do you think that would work for cellar door if painted? It is external grade. Marine Grade is twice the price. Unfortunately need 2 pieces, as the opening is 4'2" wide... Didn't buy it.
Almost forgot to get gas, was very low.
My brother was already here and had started cleaning the porch, but we removed the old block steps and installed my new steps. Went pretty smooth, except dad came out once and yelled at us to put the steps back. lol....
Then we tore out the rotting handicap ramp we had used for my mom. We plan to rebuild it with PT wood, another time. It has holes in it where the wood rotted thru, and dad walked down it the other day... it had to go..
Will add pics from my phone in a minute.
