Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Just hit 70, after a low of 68, high around 81 today. Might get a storm, had at least one overnight but only .16 on the meter. My property is dry down a couple of inches.

Still loving the Gator blades!

A little tired from my day trip, but gotta go see mom, clean up the Monte Carlo for a car show and go to some band performance at a VFW That Ellen wants to see, with several of her family.
Good days and prayers guys.

Good morning! a cool 59˚F to remind us it is still spring. After 10" of rain the last week the yard is needing a mow.

One thing that was brought up at the fire meeting yesterday was to remind everyone to clean the dryer vent at least once every two years. Since this house is now 3 years old I went to Home Depot and got their dryer vent cleaning brush kit for $20 with 12' of extensions for a drill. My dryer vents out of the roof. I looked on the roof and the exhaust vent lid was riveted and I did not want to drive back to HD to get screws when I dill them out so I moved the dryer and cleaned from the bottom. I got about a gallon of lint brushed out of the walls of the vent.

Next time I clean it I'll have to get another kit just for a few more extensions because I think I was about 4' shy of getting all the way to the top.

After the brushing I hooked up my EGO lawn blower to the vent and did a turbo blow while my wife looked at the roof vent and she said some more lint flew out - about a cups worth.

40 ｰF and going to 59. Wind NNE 7 mph. Clearing.

daugen, if you connect all the hots together and all the nots together then you have parallel. If with two batteries you connect the first + to the second - then you have series. Parallel you increase the amps but the volts stay the same. Series you double the volts.
That is the way I understand it.

A town run to get my nuts (wheel) retorqued and get some lumber.

Have a good day all

Or just look at how your golf cart batteries are connected to get 48 volts from 6 volt batteries. (or is it 8v batteries?)

Farm to Table - thats what i had growing up, our farm, our table.. Lol

Right on!

65 and sunny going to 83.

BEF, congrats on your son graduating (and the $$ savings that will result).

LS, hope your pup is feeling better.

PJ, sounds like it will be fun to listen to your album.

After taking Coco to vet, we found a new trail to hike on a greenway in Ashland. Too many squirrels...oaks 200 years old...need more predators. Haven't gotten lyme test results yet.

Did maintenance on tractor after we got home. Misplaced the fuel filter housing retainer ring. I had hung it on a nail while I was cleaning the rest with kerosene...something I've never done. So, looked for a half hour in the right places before remembering where I put it...mainly mad at myself, because I've always considered myself pretty well organized. Then a ground hog came up from the bottom of the hill, across the field into the yard...Coco went nuts. Have never had trouble with them burrowing into the fields...they stay in the woods in one of 3 specific areas, so I leave them alone. Coyotes need variety in their diet.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!

A drizzly, foggy 50ºF for today’s low, 51ºF presently with conditions unchanged; hopefully later I may see some sun with temperature ~60ºF. Plan for today: Dump Run and putter around making believe I am being productive. I used the air fryer to make spiced tofu last night and wifey and I were impressed with the results.

Eric- Thanks for the laugh. I was pretty impressed with the chicken hypnosis video. I’d like to verify the results, but unfortunately for me all my friends who raised chickens no longer do so.

…. Wow, Redneck, I had no idea that it was that bad. What a scandal, and all those people who suffered as a result!- Check I am happy to read that you had a great vacation, and thanks for the sunset picture. Rather than jail time, the decision makers get raises and stock options. In the end the rate paying consumers pay the imposed fines.

….. At this rate outside work won't get done till August- Phil. I wish your wife safe travels and you survive your week without adult supervision. My lower field has had flowing surface water and the upper part of the property that is not hill is standing surface water since all the snow/ice melt this Spring. It looks like this Year will be a repeat performance as last Year’s saturated ground surface.

Drew- I hope you get the opportunity to take it easy this weekend and relax.

Randy- I hope that you and Mom have some quality time today and that you, Ellen, and family have a good time at the VFW.

I hope everyone is having a decent day and weekend so far.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all including pets.

wngsprd, if you have horses then earth pigs (ground hogs) are your enemy.
Best way for a horse to break a leg and unseat the rider is in a ground hog hole.

Hots and the nots, never heard that, like the description.

Yes, want to parallel them.

I need new battery for massey. Could not jump it the other day.
