Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 60 going to 68 and light rain, heavier rain later.
Not sure where to today.

Spent a few hours with both the gas chainsaws yesterday cleaning up some big deadfall.
Both saw worked great, but some of the dead Ash is powder by the time they fall, dulling chains pretty fast, so cleaned and sharpened up both saws/chains before I put them away.
Still quite a few branches hanging off of the tree base, will need to rope those down, not gonna get close.

Showed son how to change air filter and showed him all the fluids again so he'll remember.

Ron - whole family got a kick out of the bird pic.

Don - can imagine me in Digworld as a kid and the ambulance ride after

Off to walk dog, rain will curtail rest of the activities, maybe. Should get some grass seed out, but afraid winds will move it around.

Still a lot of trees to buck and cleanup, and quite a few big ones haven't fallen yet, EAB, the gift that keeps on giving.

Be well,

Mini gardens cleaned up and ready

Saws on their way to get cleaned and chains sharpened.

got lots done this morning while it was surprisingly warm out at 65
built a new 3x4 metal raised bed, tedious with 40 little screws and wing nuts.
have all the stuff to put in it but need to put jeans on first.

Hosed down the trailer and got all the mud off it from yesterday.
then refilled the bird feeders before bad weather comes in and installed the new one
on my kitchen window. Not sure they will see it/be attracted to it with all the competing food 50 feet away
but can only wait and see.

I know I've forgotten something, but won't find out what it is until I need it, at which point I'll have to go out and buy it, ending up with two.

Buying opportunity. Happens all the time. That's what I tell the wife. Sometimes, if the forgotten item is not TOO expensive it happens several times. Nothing wrong with "backup" tools.

67°F and .41 inches rain

Brian from Fitrite Hydraulics sent me seal kits for my Top n Tilt cylinders I bought years ago. Would like to get those rebuilt today. My gland nut removal tool is playing hide and seek.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I went back and looked at the deck picture I posted, and there was Tiger staring out the window. I didn't think I had a picture with him looking out.
I still can't find my 30 ft tape measure I keep in my tool bag. Has disappeared from a job I did somewhere. Brought up the one from the Barn for now. How something that big and yellow can disappear. Have been looking all over.
Wind has really cranked up here in the last half hour. No storms nearby on radar.

Good worship, I had songs today. Good meal after at the usual Italian place. I get a reprieve from teaching tonight.

35°F and light snow this morning, got up to 47°. Sun is finally trying to peek out.
80° and tornadoes on Friday, 35° and snow on Sunday. Welcome to the Midwestern USA.

20 mph winds today, so didn't get out and do much beyond feeding the chickens this morning. Still a bunch of limbs and sticks to pick up. 60s and 70s this week, so I'll probably do that after work, as we've recently been granted an extension of sunlight hours.

Paul/PJS, glad you are ok in bad weather. Recliners in the basement sounds smart.
visions of seeing you play a pipe organ with some grand music while the storm crashes and rages above...
lots of crescendos...

Our basement is a finished walkout basement, Drew. Our "living room" with the comfy chairs, sofa, and television is down there. The traditional living room space upstairs is a music room, with a couple of highback chairs, violins and violas on wall hangers, my cello on a stand in one corner, and The Wife's baby grand piano in front of the big windows.

No crescendos, but if it's any consolation, while we had the lights out enjoying the lightning show, I looked at her and said in a deep voice. "It was a dark, stormy night." She rolled her eyes at me ... again. It's a regular thing with us.

Good afternoon, gents.
