Good Evening,

We are truly screwed now

Yup !

The power went out at 2:45 and just came back on a few minutes ago. Everything all secured for now. Only used 2.5 gallons in my genny. Gotta refill 2 fivers tomorrow. I have 11.75 gallons on hand including the genny for the next outage. I prefer to have 17 gallons + the genny.

We will be a while yet. Hydro One says 11 PM tomorrow night at our place on Kawagama Lake.

Rereading, looking for the question.
Mowing is indeed a chore, but also can be Zen, think time. I have to be careful asI often get a wild idea in my head that morphs into a project - think $$$.

Mowing has become more of a chore, than it is stress relief. Tractors are getting old, have to spend time and money keeping them up.

What's the question?

To mow, or not to mow.

Don't mowe as often.
Go bigger.
Get quota someone will mow.
Down size acres.

Thomas got the message, without the question.

For weeks our dependable Maytag has been leaking about a quart of water. Today I took it apart and found out the seal is bad under tub which is above the transmission. A repairman I spoke with said not worth repair because of labor involved. I'm debating whether to try repair myself.
What we hate about new washers is lid locks unlike old one. Old one we could wash & start all over again for longer wash.
Anyone ever replaced a tub seal?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, SpeedQueen offers a no lock lid model. You have to specify it. They are $1500. But with hope, you can will it to your kids.

47 going to 83.

Sodamo, congrats on the new girl.

Mostly, the sheriff came and authorized the tow. Interesting that I didn't get a parking ticket.

Yesterday morning was 39F, so hauled butt to the mountains to test out my newest parking technique...perfectly between the white lines in the SNP designated parking lot. Had a good, long hike with Della, making more progress on my Shenandoah 500 challenge. Perfect weather, waterfall, huge rock cliff and surprised to see no one else...but these were 2 pretty obscure trails.

You did pay a ticket in the form of towing fees. The tow trucks often share the proceeds with the neighborhood or business they tow from.

Sodamo, that's a cutie.

Made a dewberry cobbler, well sort of, the cake part was more cakey than it was pie crust, but I spent no time preparing it like you do pie crust. So, no short cuts if you want pie crust. Well, it has been about 45 minutes and a 9x13 pan of it is half gone. Tastes pretty good to me.

Looks like Lookin4's temps are the lowest for us right now. About 75F here at 945pm.

Well, looks like Canada can still be a refuge.

Prayers for our team, our nation, peace in this world, Israel, and for Putin to come to God.

Spain and Portugal as of now are not sure of the power outage cause. I've read that some companies buy some of their really large power distibution equipment from China, and that it is computer controlled.....not sure if that had anything to do with it.

Good evening all. Long hard day today, Grief Share, mow, bike ride, nap, boat cover back on boat, weather coming in tonight. Will try and post in morning.

I guess we are getting what Ford wants to give New York.

Kyle, yes Canada can still be a refuge IF you don't mind being governed by a lieing tax dodger.

Drinking hot cup of coffee. 32° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 62° with lots of sunshine. Got gardens weeded. Thunderstorms came thru and put more limbs on ground. Some areas near me had rood damage. .09 rain yesterday. Will cleanup limbs this morning. Then go to neighbors and level out drive from winter damage.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.
