Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Pretty day today, around 80 and lower humidity, got another nice shower overnight.

Cooled off nice last night, house was nice this morning. Low 90s expected all week.

My mower belt is expected Wednesday so will try and sharpen blades tonight and be ready to put belt on and finish up mowing, may have to wait until Saturday morning to escape the heat.

edit: just checked fedex tracking, mower belt should be here today...

No cons that I can think of for transitional lenses except they do not work in a vehicle. You will still have to also get prescription sunglasses for driving in Texas especially if your hood is white and you can see it.

Thanks for all the tips on transition glasses. Texas driving is what I'm needing them for and it sounds like prescription sunglasses are the hot ticket.

Speaking of hot ticket, Don, tell us more about your potluck "pant" group?

Farmer, I have found that there are no simple answers for raising autistic children. It takes patience, maybe more than any of the other qualities a parent can offer IMO.

70°F and .10 inches rain

Off to Hilo, take my older boy boxer Flash to vet. Some dental work so has to be put under.
Then wife and I to Laupahoehoe for haircuts.
Should have time to replace a plumbing line at cottage before retrieving Flash at vet late afternoon.
Be safe
Have a great day

70°F and partly cloudy skies this morning, 86° now, going up to 90° today.

Guy down the road from us has had his property for sale for a couple months now. Asking too much, in my opinion. This week, flatbed trailers showed up from a local auction company, and a sign went up yesterday. He ran his own paving company, and it looks like he's auctioning off some of his equipment this Saturday, in addition to some household stuff. Wife was initially interested in a Bobcat skid steer he has, but saw some online chatter about it from construction industry people she knows, and is pretty sure they are going to drive up the bidding on it. He kept his equipment in very good shape, rumor has it, so he should fetch a good price.

I'm sure I'll stop by to check on any firearms-related stuff. You never know.

Good Morning!!!! 82F @ 11:15AM. Sunny. High 94F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Off to town in a few minutes to mount the mirrors on the van and try to get them wired. Tool and rivnuts came in yesterday for the lower mount on the mirrors; funny thing is they've been on there I don't know how long without it. If I can finish that before it gets too hot I'll try to get the battery connected and see what works, and probably more of what doesn't.:confused2:

Made another call the the BBQ outfit this morning and got the same run around around about delivery. Told the clerk this was the fourth call in three weeks, and asked to speak to a supervisor. Was told that the supervisor is gone for the day. At 10:30AM? Hey, I wanna job like that. Then I asked for the supervisor's name, which I was given, then asked for the name of the person I was speaking to. Turned out to be the same gal that told me last Friday she would call me back yesterday, and I let her know I wasn't happy. She denied ever speaking to me. I'll call one more time and if I get no satisfaction I'll be talking to VISA to arrange a refund. The local hardware store carries the same BBQ for $400 more, but it would almost be worth it to avoid another round of frustration.

No spraying today or yesterday, just too windy. Which I don't mind at all, as it has been keeping the temps below 100F for a change.

It is a really good group. This is a Plant Based potluck with emphasis on health. There was no mention of animal rights because that is not their purpose. There was one person that was not plant based that came with his girlfriend - I think he will be easy to convert he really liked all the food and the added benefit of losing weight because most items contain no fat or sugar. All ingredients are listed on the dish. Some are "gluten free" (which I feel is just a distraction except for people with celiac disease). But my tamales are naturally gluten free but more important fat and cholesterol free. This is just the second potluck for the group and first for me with almost 20 people they decided to hold them monthly. I'll get pictures next time. One person really lowered his cholesterol and was able to not have to start a statin - smart guy. Since we all agree with Welcome | PlantPure Nation we were talking about starting a POD. If you get a chance you might want to see the movie - it's on netflix.

But best of all I can eat good and not have to eat my own cooking. It's always good tasting what other people cook - that cook the right way.

They will have a 10 day jumpstart online for those wanting to try this way of eating. You can either order 10 days of prepared food or make your own from recipes.

A lot of these people are new at eating plant based and with 7 years under my belt (literally) There is much I can teach them. I can't wait to share my BBQ burgers (jackfruit) and nacho kale chips with them. The tamales kind of made them suspicious of how I could make them without masa, lard, or meat and still look and taste amazing.

55 right now...clear and a high in the upper 70's today.

 

[riptides]

65 outside this AM. Mid 80's today. Looks to be a perfect day to reclaim the fence lines with a weed whacker. Got all the grass done yesterday. No luck on the electric. Time to call someone. Have a great day. Be safe.

 

[daugen]

nice day here on East Coast, cooler, whole forecast looks a lot drier for the week ahead.
off for eye exam this morning, necessary but sure goofs up your vision for several hours.
Then back to powerwash fencing which I never got to yesterday.
69 degrees going to high 80's today.

Don, I've never seen blades worn like that. Wow.

 

[Buppies]

70 high of 85 today low humidity nice summer day. Speaking of mower blades we had had good luck with gator blades and use them on most of our mowers

 

[wngsprd]

65 going to 85. Feels great outside.

Lower humidity made doing everything easier yesterday.

Getting ready to start coffee roasting this morning and then weed trim, work in garden, and shed...put up one more set of "industrial" shelves. Was gonna go to mountains near Ed, but will have to settle for a hike nearby late this morning.

Don, nice blades.

 

[Thomas]

53F clear sky might reach 80F.
Took weed trimmer for hour plus walk last evening,after work today trimmer for an hour work and try mow side field.
Notice lot fawn tracks couple nice wide buck tracks around the house,must be coming in after we go to work....hmmm

Have good day all.

 

[Buppies]

Thomas maybe they are having a party after you all go to work. Do you leave a grill out for them

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee has been poured. 56° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 84° with partly cloudy skies. Wood bin floor and shelves are done. Put about 90% of the thing that belong in there back. Have to do some sorting on the rest. Need to take a couple of days off from the project and get some rest. Going to hook up the rotary cutter to tractor and cut the 3 acres of field around my place. This is one of the jobs I wished I had a larger tractor. Relax with what is left of the day.
Don, glad my blades do not wear like that. But I do not have sand in lawn except out by the road. Since road is treated for dust. It is hard packed and not much picked up. What does inside of mower deck look like?
Good Morning All.
