64 outside this morning high of 82 later with rain in the forecast again. Looks like it might rain thru the weekend although yesterday was spotty in nature. Ground is completely saturated now so any slow moving storms could cause problems

51F headed toward 80 and dry today.

More rock picking and general cleaning up is the plan for today.

64 degrees going up to 84 today, warming up a bit in advance of a rain front coming in from the West. Much of what is soaking the folks below PA has missed us here; it's been dry.

important day today, the big three hour inspection of the home prior to acceptance. I have made this house as nice as I can, and I am so, so sick of polishing the kitchen sink and faucets, vacuuming every day, etc, etc, all the stuff one goes through. But after today, I can make a big mess because the packers are coming in this weekend to start.

while I'm evicted from home, I'm going over to spend some time with my elderly MIL. My late wife was her caretaker and best friend, so I have been hoping she would move out of her big house in the country and into a retirement/senior living spot, of which there are many locally. Not yet... So I cooked up some steaks last night, tupperwared most of it when I was done, and will take that over to her. She will nibble on those steaks for weeks...loves barbecued anything, can't do that for herself anymore. She has a son in the area, but he is pretty clueless as to what his mother needs other than her lawn mowed. It will take a medical event to get her out of that house I suppose. But if that's where she's happy, fine.

not thrilled with my medical testing. Two thyroid lumps found, likely nothing, my PSA is rising, and if my chest xray yesterday finds anything, well...
getting older is such a thrill...
actually it is.

We are just a little south of Chattanooga this morning and 76 degrees. Heading to Kokomo Indiana where two of my brothers live. Supposed to get to 86 in Kokomo today. My oldest brother is now in a nursing home with Alzheimers so it is going to be sad to see him there.

I'll bet when all this is said and done you will say that it wasn't really that bad. Getting older in some respects can be a state of mind, but we are getting older the parts wear out or break but at least they can fix a lot more now than they used to. Is the tractor happy at its new home?

Drinking second cup of coffee. 62° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 79° with thunderstorms in the afternoon. Got the lawn cut yesterday before rain storms came through. Need to trim today. Back to cleaning up barn and shop. It's a never ending job. Somebody never puts things back away after they are done with a project. :ashamed:
Good Morning All.

Twas 71 leaving the house this AM. Looked at the grass last night, decided to drink beer and lounge by the pool, then I jumped in to let off some steam. Planning exit strategy now, may have to take another overseas contract, so over travel and hot spots. Thinking time for a career change, again.

Hope all is better for the older folks. I always thought if your wits are still around, one can deal with the ache, pains and other nasty stuff that may come along. I just don't want to end up with no mind of my own. Although some would argue, I lost it a long time ago :)

Have a great day.

66 going to 86. Glad to have gotten about a third of an inch of rain yesterday. Got back from the gym, checked that the dew was dry, started up the mower, got three laps done and the bottom fell out.

Drew, hoping things look okay on your tests. Nice what you're doing for your MIL.
