Good morning all, 55 this morning going to 81. Fog this morning and then sunny so the humidity will be up. Got a little done on the pantry yesterday, but have a good bit to do. Will try to lay low today but still plenty to do.

Have a great day. Ed

Forecast promises no rain and a gentle breeze again today, although as Bups has noticed, it could get a little rough tomorrow. Plenty to get done outside, though I am sorely tempted instead to play with a present I was lucky to be given this week, which needs a little bit of welding.



The last one got stolen a few years ago when it had been left in the top field, in sight of the road. Thieves smashed off both bearings with a sledge hammer, that's all that was left the next day. This one will be staying closer to home.

First cup of coffee has been poured. 61° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 69° with late morning thunderstorms that will drop temperatures into the low 50's by early afternoon. Not going to get anything done out side today. Good visit and dinner with friend yesterday. May be a good day to watch some NASCAR.
Good Morning All.

Eric, nice find, I believe we call that a cultipacker. I'm sure the British have a more elegant name. The Queen's Roller...

another warm day, then the weather really changes and gets much colder at night. It's that time...
Mower deck painting is on the list for today, and perhaps a little more plant watering.

63 degrees and a very light rain falling with a nice northerly breeze. Hope it keeps up all day.

64 and some drizzle. Going to 82. Haven't seen the sun in several days, but promised later today.

Great art by Finnly!

We had another fun day at the Folk Festival. Much of it is on an island in the James River. A new pedestrian bridge was built all the way across the James River across some whitewater...about 1/3 of a mile long, and connecting parks on both sides...fun to watch the kayakers and rafters as well as the geese and herons. One of our US Senators was next to us taking in some bluegrass music.

Eric, today's Bing photo is of the Derwent Reservoir and dam...not too far from you...beautiful.

61° and drizzle. Grass needs mowed, but too wet.
Watched lots of football yesterday.

51 right now...high in the mid-70's today. Bit foggy and damp right now

Not much planned...finish mowing the lawn...a little weed trimming.
Definitely pick up that check for a gun that was sold on consignment...that's probably the first order of business since it's too wet to mow and probably will be until noon or so.

Good Morning!!!! 63F @ 6:15AM. 0% Precip. / 0.00 in. Partly Cloudy. High 81F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Fire warnings drop here at 8AM. We've still got very low humidity, but some recovery overnight and lighter winds. Containment increased to 90% overnight on the two closest fires; fingers crossed for no new ones.

That thing looks pretty heavy to be sprouting legs, Eric. Those thieves must have wanted the old one awfully bad.:shocked:

Spent some time shopping for tires for the old motorcycle yesterday, and there isn't a lot of selection for 18" wheels. Nothing in the latest high mileage/good grip technology, and only a few traditional patterns with all the traditional problems (quick wearing, follow rain grooves). Maybe I should be happy any tires are available at all?

Pulled the bearings out of the front wheel yesterday and got all the grease off to find the bearings worn to the point they should be replaced as well. Today I'll run it through the bead blaster and clean off all the accumulated dirt and oil, then dive back into polishing the rims. New, smaller polishing mops arrived in the mail yesterday that should make that job easier. Also have a couple more parts that need satin black paint, one for the van, one for the old bike, and with cooler weather on the way by the end of the week, now is a good time to get it done.

One of the cable stations was playing "Tom Horn" last night, and old Steve McQueen movie. I didn't want to put up with the commercials, and "The Magnificent Seven" was already on the file server, so I watched that instead. Nothing better than a great cowboy movie where the good guys win in the end.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.
