Good morning!!!!

[KevT]

47 going to 74. Well, bit the bullet yesterday and purchased our plane tickets, rental, and room for the Mt Hope Draft Horse Auction in early March. Hmmm, that is when most come to FL to get out of the cold and we are going into it.

Eric, it's okay. I've been known to change the ground profile between the pastures and barn. I just told my wife I didn't like how it looked before or trying to get more rain water out but don't think that will work when it is not your drive.

42.2F and clear @ 07:30 ...

Wife has day off, today is haircut day ...

Got that blender taken apart yesterday ... top of base had a small hole in the housing stamped "Oil" and somebody sure did ... motor was covered in it, with a puddle in the bottom of the housing. Will degrease that with some electric contact cleaner and put it back together and see what happens. Picked up a pack of 4 rubber feet for it at the hardware store yesterday for $2.50.

Did you leave out a 0 on your square footage?

Well, lessee ... 28' x 32' ... I come up with 896 ... so, no ... I don't think so ...

Pick up Squeak, hold it (him? her?) out at arms length and swing in a circle. That's enough room to swing a cat in. You should have a MINIMUM of that area for EVERY type of job. With all the jobs you post about you need a minimum of 4,000 sq feet.

Great minds think alike :thumbsup::

Shop: 896 sq ft

Polebarn: 3024 sq ft

Total: 3920 sq ft

I guess I am a little short ... but if I can include the unfinished back room in the basement it might put me over though ... :scratchchin:

And what about your Jinma chipper mod?

Still sittin' there, patiently waitin' on me ...

Speakin' of Squeak, she has a vet appointment @ Angels for Animals this coming Thursday. Although she is growing like a weed, she's got a respiratory infection she can't seem to shake ... hopefully we can get a handle on that.

Evidently our regular vet is somehow related to the gravel haulers Drew was considering, having priced himself completely out of the realm of possibility. Besides, going to see him has gotten to be rather annoying as all he seems to want to is talk/complain/drone on about local politics ...

He should be so interested in the animals he's caring for ...

Good morning! 61˚ heading to 76˚, south breeze, cloudy.
Today I'll put a cattle panel fence around my wild plum patch to keep out the wild hogs. I'll also trim some paths through the patch and pull out the few cedars and youpons. It's a small wild plum patch and will only take about 20 of the 16' panels.

Ron hope you got to AZ before the crowds and find a good parking spot.

The Postoak trees have change color and they are a dull brownish orange yellow color this year.

Good Morning! 53F @ 5:15AM. Windy with a steady rain this morning. Showers continuing this afternoon. High near 55F. Winds SSW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.

Very windy night with little or no rain since midnight. At least I don't think there's been any rain, as there was a brief power outage just before midnight that knocked the weather computer off the network and it stopped reporting. All the wind racket woke me up at about 2AM and I reset it, but it doesn't look like the missed records will be re-transmitted to Weather Underground. Just had a 42 MPH gust, and I can hear rain blowing on the windows again, so it looks like it's gonna be another wet day. Sure hope so. Only a half inch fell yesterday, and until now nothing from the big storm that was predicted to pass through last night. Most of it appears to have gone to the north of us again.

46 this morning and headed to 63 today. Dense fog advisory out.

Managed to get the chicken coops ready to migrate yesterday and then get son to doctor for a flu shot. We had both had our already but he'd been sick enough he couldn't get his. The tubes have really helped his hearing but not his listening. Guess that will just take work. He said mama this week for first time too. So she's happy now.

Well for today it's migrate chickens and run some errands/pay bills.

Good morning, a windy 39F here with a predicted high today of 52F, certainly doesn't feel like December.

 

[RobS]

43F when I left the house. Under-dressed a bit on my bicycle as it's supposed to be 59F later today! A far cry from all the snow we had at this same time last year.

Just for kicks, a shot from two weeks ago where we did have some snow...

 

[sodamo]

68°F and .58 inches rain last 24 hours. Looking like a wet, indoors day, at least until it clears up

Be safe
Have a great day

38 right now...high of 52 today

 

[Buppies]

47 high of 68 later today really enjoying this warm weather

Christmas tree up starting to see decorations show up on the tree

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning. A rare event coming - clear skies on their way for at least 3 hours today. :dance1:



RS, Squeak may need fewer trips to the vet if you had one of these, as an alternative to swinging.

 

[KevT]

47 headed to 79. It will hit the 80's this weekend. This is December, right? Hard to be in the Christmas spirit when you are sweating. Only a few more gifts to make and taking a break from the shop today. Going with wife to look at a horse for her... my shopping may be done. Then into town to SAMS for our monthly adventure, then looking for a tree. Tomorrow we have a wedding (cart girl) and Sunday a bunch of guys are coming over to cut up trees for fire wood. They have been down for a year now. TGIF

42.2F and mostly cloudy @ 06:00 ... high today predicted to be 59F, then into the 60's on Sat/Sun with possible record high temps ...

Will be looking to get all "Get-ready-for-winter" outside chores tied up over the next few days ...

Was in town yesterday anyways and hadn't heard anything from North Hill Glass and Mirror about the piece of glass I had ordered from them for the cross brace on my old 55g (that was supposed to be in on the 8th ... ), so I gave 'em a call ... "Yeah, it's here ..."

So we swung by, since we were only about 5 minutes away, and I picked it up. Reason for them failing to call me and let me know it was in ?

They didn't bother to write down my phone number ... despite me giving it to them several times ...

Stopped by the LFS after that and picked up another Zebra Danio as a dither and a Kuhli Loach ... Squeak is now fascinated once again ...

Got the glass piece siliconed in yesterday afternoon, should be able to silicone the top plastic trim piece on later today. Also did a little maintenance on the reflector for the light fixture ... the white plastic of the reflector had turned orange from the light of the bulb (UV mebbe ?) and I found a tip online about using the silver metal HVAC tape to restore the reflectivity. Worked great. Then I trimmed out the hood for the other 55g, for the plumbing and the heater and installed an old ATI LCD stick-on thermometer on the outside glass of the tank.

Might get back to doing a little work on the backdrop today ... probably after I clean up all the styro shavings in the garage and get The Woman's car moved back inside.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and productive day.

That's cute ...

You know, it's really surprising (to me) that The Squeak is doing as well as she is - she's had this respiratory infection going on the whole time we've had her, but despite that she's managed to probably double her weight and size and is constantly playful. Although she is sleeping alot more these days.

Amazing what not being starved to death can do for ya.

Just hope she can hang on until whatever treatment the vet provides can be effective.

Enjoy your fair weather :thumbsup:

Had a nice evening and dinner out with old friends in Milton DE, near Lewes and the ocean.
Off later this morning to Plymouth Meeting PA, outside of Philadelphia to see my goddaughter. Lunch there and then on to my sister's home in Princeton NJ. And then tonight dinner out with friends.
Surprisingly warm here, had my chamois shirt on and almost had to find a golf shirt by day's end.
But then when the sun goes down the temps drop and I'll be glad to have that warm shirt.

Had a nice drive up, lots of fog, and people would just drive through it at high speeds with no capability of stopping in time if there was a traffic backup or whatever ahead. Just plow into the back of someone....so I slowed down a bit and kept going in and out of what seemed like cloud banks.
By Portsmouth it had cleared up. Took some pics while getting a fresh coffee at the little restaurant several miles out on the 17 mile long bridge. But this little Chromebook doesn't seem to have an SD slot so no way to load pics.

December 11th already. I feel like I'm on life's jet plane when I'd like to be in a slower Piper...

Wow, I took a couple days off and I'll never catch up in this thread. Anyone know if Mossflowerwoods is all married by now? My invite must gotten lost in the mail.


Going to well over 70 today so it's back to the chores I never finished this fall. I charge all batteries late in the fall, just before winter and have had exceptional results. My 2004 Kubota B7800 battery is still going strong and that's typical. If others try this, remember to turn the lights on for a minute before you start the charge so you can burn off "surface resistance' or whatever it's called.

 

[farmer2009]

57 this morning and headed to 67 today. It's so warm and humid here the gravel sweated over night. Warming up rest of weekend.

Got a call yesterday from Kubota dealer. There is a problem with getting the rear remote valves for the tractor. It's a Kubota issue, if I want tractor, then when the valves come in Kubota will pay transportation back to the shop for install. So papers are signed and tractor should be here today or tomorrow. Get up there to sign papers and he tells me he's learned it's not only a Kubota problem but a New Holland problem also. Seems like there are very few companies that build those valves. And the company had a bad run get out. Salesmen man said NH has like 1200 tractors that need the valves replaced. His dealership has a dozen to do. So I'll get my two rear remotes when they come in off back order.

Birds are migrated so I'll be doing repairs until tractor shows up. Then some seat time.

Drew safe travels.
