61 going to 87. Feels good outside now, but gonna get too hot later. Happy May Day!

Thomas, glad NuBoo is becoming a friend. We've had several bears pass through here this spring, including one that came up on the front porch and posed for the Eufy cam.

Finally finished the entire grape arbor project by using my tractor grapple spear rig again to lift vines and give me some room to wire a grid to the frame for support. Looks real good, according to my wife. Took Della to hike and swim for celebration.

dads grape arbor is mostly on the ground..

thanks Ken, think I'll replant/pot it and then give it to someone who wants an oak tree.

I have several oak trees in my yard that started as sprouting acorns I found on the ground. some of these oaks now a foot across in less than 20 yrs.

Now at the farm. Got yard mowed, oil changed in tractor, found bolt for loader bracket almost out, another one appears broken off, and 2 just a little loose. tightened the ones I could, the one that was almost out is stripped. good thing there are another 5 that are tight on the bracket. took blade off tractor, will put mower on tomorrow. storm was brewing, did get a little rain from it.
pipeline guys sure been busy, they already have most of trench dug across the farm, 3 more truckloads of pipe came today. see my life on the farm thread for pics of that.
the water line guys left a sxs parked behind our barn... right where we store the blade, so had to put it in another spot..

i had to unload the 600 lb of concrete before i left this morning.

Kyle I believe your story, because I went through same thing. Wife wanted nav system on SUV, we talked with dealer, They wanted 24K + old SUV (less then 10K miles) for new SUV similar options.

North Bay trip was uneventful. Filled up at my usual spot...$51.oo. Lunch for the two of us was $55.oo + tip, 10 bux each.
Got home at 1 P.M. and by 5 P.M. the lights were flickering again. Called Hydro One and they couldn't find anything threatening the lines, so they did a test of the house at the meter and found nothing there either. We were drawing so little power (we only had two computers and two LED lights turned on, plus the security system) that we had to turn on the stove so they could actually do the test. The hydro guy confirmed that we got ours delivered underground. The only smart thing the original owner of this place did.
The overhead power wires on this little 1/4 mile dead end road are from the 1960s. They have never been upgraded.
So far since they left the lights have stayed on with no flickering. Supposed to rain tomorrow, so no tree felling.

Our minority goobermint just changed to a majority, the NDP are throwing in with the Liberals and their 7 seats gives the Liberals (168 + 7 = 175 seats) a majority goobermint. We will see what happens now.

woke up too early, but enjoying first cup of coffee
today is a high of 86, long sleeve shirts need to go to storage, out come the golf shirts.
nice visit with landlady yesterday, glad she is feeling better after chemo. She loves to come and see what new
flowers I have planted.

looks like I'm going to have this motorhome for another season so I need to plan some local trips. I use RV Life software,
going to plan a New England trip. Maybe I'll get lucky in the next few weeks but looks like the market has tanked.

Coffee is brewing. 54° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 63 with clearing skies in afternoon. Got .52 rain yesterday. Grocery shopping went good. Trip to Xfinity got me a $20 monthly savings on my account. Costco was OK. Got a $10 coupon for bring in a new member. Parking was a mess and place was packed. Rest of the day was conserve energy. Need to get chipper mounted on tractor today. May get started on chipping limb pile.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All,

 

[wngsprd]

68 to 87. Hoping for rain.

Nice job on your bridge, Happy.

Nice outing with my wife...took her to dentist, lunch at Torchy's and Costco run.

Forgot to say that I got a nice email from Shenandoah NP about the parking situation, and they put a special Alert on their website warning folks.
