Good morning!!!!

When buzzards land and try to approach, it's time for your shower!

Good one! Or maybe the vulture wanted in on the fun RNG was having.

36F clear high 70F.
Blackflies were little hungry last night while stacking wood.
Well headed down off mountain soon for another 8 hours of work.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning all. Beautiful morning here, having second cup of coffee, could be drinking it out on the front porch but a little bright to read this screen out there.

Had a very productive day yesterday- picked up a yard of topsoil for lawn patching, then two yards of hemlock mulch for DW's landscaping in the front of the house. Rototilled the garden, washed some equipment, then worked with DW to spread the mulch.

Not much scheduled for today- have babysitting duty while DW goes to eye doctor, then haircut and town budget meeting this evening.

Good morning! 66˚ rain in the area, just cloudy here, and we had .7" last night. I hear no thunder but Whipper wanted inside so it must be out there somewhere.

Speaking of military generators I got an e-mail yesterday from the local military auction:

66 this morning and headed to 84 today. Chance for thunderstorms again. Maybe not as bad as yesterday. Several tornadoes around.

Took my grandfathers tractor and tiller back to him. Got run off his place my bad weather. But no damage at lunch.

Then about 5:30 we left the DW for a safer place. Tornado warnings north and southwest. Squeezed between the storms to MIL house. Then get a call from my mom. Damage at parents farm and she saw the rotation. No pictures but trees laid every which way. Can't get in one way for broken power lines. Path was about 200' wide. All tree and fence damage. Missed barns by about 200'. Will be headed up there in a bit to help dad with cleanup.

Good morning,

FOG Is the word today. 59 heading to 78. Wife is only doing a half day so should be home around 11:00.

This LapTop is running and quiet this morning after yesterday's problems. Microsoft should call in the next three hours to see what is up with the windows 10 updates not working. :mur: Was down most of the day yesterday so I will need to catch up later.

I don't know how much rain we got but it was a lot. Sump pump is kicking on about every five to ten minutes. That is a lot for here. :shocked:

Farmer, sorry about the damage and be careful out there.

Internet was moving pretty good this morning, 76 down and 8 up, or about what they advertise. Funny how the up is always so much lower. Do they limit the up for protection against things like denial of service attacks? They never give a reason...the current one said something about not wanting me to be my own POP.
Talk about killing the whole barrel to get a few bad apples. Now that TBN can handle large photo files again, it becomes an issue. I've been timed out before...
But many of you with satellite hookups like in parts of Texas would think you had fallen into a spaceship if your internet went that fast.

Gorgeous day outside, sat and had coffee with oldest brother and SIL on front porch rockers this morning, nice quality time together. Perfect temp, light breeze, birds of all kinds singing their songs. They are headed back to Virginia and I'm trying to get motivated to go out and water some more newly planted shrubs. Shrubs that would likely do just fine getting watered tomorrow. Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. That bit of nonsense goes back a long ways...

The old timers claim panther is some of the best meat you will ever taste. Never tired it, but I'm thinking young cat would be tender.

Never had possum stew, but I can highly recommend it baked with sweet potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste, wrap foil around meat and potatoes. Bake at 350F until potatoes are done.

Throw away the possum, and eat the potatoes!

You guys in the path of the storms, be careful and Godspeed. Another dreary day here.

61.7F and overcast @ 10:00 ... high today is supposed to be 72F with thunderstorms. Like yesterday and today, rain likely for the next five days. Fortunately, all we got was a little spritzing ...

Need to move Simplicity into the garage today and pull the carb so I can rebuild it with the kit I picked up yesterday.

Yesterday I finished up working on the grapple (for the moment) by adding an additional vertical bar on the lower frame to keep the expanded metal from getting mushed in.

Got bevels ground on the square tube for the 3PH frame for the LPGS, got the tube laid out and fitted up, and got it tacked together:

Probably weld it up today (so it can be moved without coming apart) and then work on cutting the angle.
