Good morning!!!!

good morning, 54 going to 66

The jack posts are set up and tightened. Also set up the rotating laser on the tripod for convenient measurement of progress. Plan is to rotate screws on the jacks half a turn per week. So will take a number of weeks to get to level.
Stacked some more wood taking care to lean in so the stack when drying does not tumble over.
Aired up the tires on the tractor. 28 psi front and 18 rear. Rotated the filled tires to the top but still had fluid coming out. Maybe because they were low in pressure pushing the fluid up higher.
Blew out the gauge by pushing the middle pin with a screw driver to drive the fluid out of the Milton gauge and air valve.

good morning all from Beaumont Texas
still 70 out here, going to be a warm day
and a warm day in Beaux Bridge Louisiana where I'm headed.
heading East on rt 10 past Lake Charles and then right into middle of
Louisiana's largest swamp, next to the tough to spell Atchafalaya River.

Happy Thanksgiving Bill. Glad you are still here. 90 and humid here today, could use a little of that cold wind out of the North.
but I see it's going down to 39 tonight at home in Eastern PA.
all this heat will soon be a memory for me when I hit chilly nights last week on the road.

taking my time this morning, only a three hour drive, I push my luck if I get to places before noon. Have a lot of blueberries to eat so breakfast will be blueberries on multigrain flax cereal. Need more fiber in me so those wonderful beef leftovers I have don't wind up clogging up the works.

stopping at HEB grocery store in Orange Texas not far East of here, then heading into a new state for me. Never been to Louisiana or NOLA
been doing research on what restaurant I can uber to lunch at in NO.
I want gumbo and a shrimp poorboy. Just need to be careful it's not too hot.
not doing French Quarter or tourist places though might get uber person to just drive through that area. In San Francisco uber guy showed up with large Toyota SUV, new and expensive. Will be interesting to see what shows up here.
I found a place fairly close to campground in downtown NO near the Lake.

I'll post a map or pic of New Orleans campground later today
as I plan my two days in NO.
my family was useless in suggesting places, I think Ken mentioned a few.
but no crowds for me. I have to take two uber rides. One to get to restaurant and one to get back. I could include a "check it out" spot on the way or way back.

Happy Monday everyone

sticky out, what a change to see all this humidity, folding chairs wet in the morning.
vs everything bone dry.

Ted, you ever walk out and find dew anywhere?

 

[Happy in NC]

Good morning!!
60 this morning but the high is only going to be low 70s with lots of sun. And windy as cold front moves through. Probably the warmest day this week.
Productive day yesterday. Fortunately the Hy leak turned out to be a fitting that loosened up. Found that to be strange but I was happy. I now have about 40 tons (est) of rock sand and gravel from th And it will be windy as cold front moves through. e river for my bridge project. That is a lot of three legged butt puckering loads to get out of the river on a slight turning hill and then a couple hundred yards to dump and go back. I have no idea how many times I have done it but still get that feeling when you feel the weight shift and zero gravity.
Burned the crap out of my fingers when the temp wire for my 4 in 1 that is wired straight to the battery shorted. Really need to do a proper fix.
Gonna have to go to town today for Hyd. fluid and diesel. My steel lines are leaking on my Woods 1012. If anyone knows a reasonable source for these let me know please. In the mean time I will keep feeding it.
Lots of projects to do this winter on the tractor but I have a warm shop
Stay safe and have a great day!!

Good Morning TBN! 63˚F, wind is changing to the North but we will still be hitting the mid 90s this afternoon. Clear skies, no rain.

Working at the adventure farm this weekend went well. Shoulder was not a problem and the seat time with the nice families was enjoyable. Surprisingly the 101˚ record temps was not a problem for me, however it did thin the crowds out in the afternoon.

New this year is a Pumpkin RV for Drew.

Good Morning
It’s 52° and sunny, high of 60 and 30kt winds forecast, but no rain.

Yesterday was another day of progress on a lot of little details. Toilet is installed, there are no more remaining plumbing tasks. All the AV wiring and plates are done, just need to hang the TV’s. Continued rotating of sprinklers.

Today will be more of the same. Need to install the permanent hardware on all the casement windows and sliding doors. Tomorrow, I’ve got to take the turboprop for it’s acceptance flight with the buyers, Wednesday, I’ve got to go to Palm Beach, so I likely won’t be here when the inspector comes for his final inspection.
I’d also like to get the drain finished up on the plasma table, that’s gonna require a trip to HD or Lowe’s.

Good Morning
More bales to load
1/2 way done, but it feels like it'll never be done!

Good Morning to all who Celebrate! 56 going to a high of 58, partly cloudy and gusty. A smattering of rain on the truck this morning.

Friday after work, I took a load of firewood to one of my logging crew, understanding that his assistance and 400 C-M would be payment rather than cash. He was grateful to have ready-to-burn wood handy after last week's frost and I'm grateful to have assistance in tackling a bunch of dead red oaks. Win-Win.

The log splitter came out of its hole easily, wiped some residual moisture off of it and it fired right up after the second pull. Ran strong, split some leftover rounds that were deposited into the woodpile and enjoyed some sunshine before I threw the new cover over it. Now that I'm thinking of it, I need to make sure I strap it down...hopefully it's still there when I get home from work.

Snow-pusher was another story, couldn't get the nut lose with a wrench, so I'll try it with the impact later tonight.

Other than getting the snow-pusher set up, no real goals this week.

Enjoy the day y'all! Stay safe out there!

Do not feel right today.

Hope you feel better Buppies.

Everyone have a great day !!!

 

[riptides]

63 outside today and that might be the high.

If I have the energy, will hop on the mower.

This Covid stuff is like a light bulb, on...feel great...off...where is the bed. Oh well.

Lots to do and lots that require time management. Need to choose, wisely.

Hope all have a good holiday. In the US, of course.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Temps are currently dropping. High of 61° might have already happened.
Breezy out. Need to mow. Colder tomorrow. Back maple tree about bare already.
Buppies, hope you feel better.

I finally get Columbus Day off. One I used to have to work.
