Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning all, Roy send me that potato salad, I love it.
Is she making it with habanero sauce?....
sure you aren't eating too late in the evening, too soon before lying down?

I read the list of the ten things you shouldn't do/eat with GERD and I was doing 7 of them.
No more problems since then but must take Prevacid due to arthritis meds tearing me up.
Would you believe that breath mints can give you acid reflux?

ran out of energy yesterday despite beautiful day outside, decided to pace myself a little...
So, saved the most fun part for today, discing the field where the potatoes were dug.
Then I'm digging potatoes in my raised garden today, French fingerlings, dark blues, and some left over whites.
Can't wait to have a blue baked potato.

Feeling blue honey?, here, have a blue potato....

PJ, not only is your wife beautiful but she is seriously talented. Better keep her around...
just hope your dog doesn't pee on the statue, like a fire hydrant...wife might not like that. Hmmmm.

Some light showers expected this afternoon but not much. Sun is waking up and time to get moving.

 

[Thomas]

48F foggy cloudy maybe passing quick shower,upper 60's for high sun will try peek later today.

Dirtman so he is call,deliver backhoe last evening and will start digging about 7am this morning for water line problem....this might become interesting in the findings.
Well time for E muffin feed little 4 legged critters than pace back and forth waiting for workers to show up.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[Buppies]

64 high of 79 another beautiful day in the neighborhood no rain till at least Saturday

Ed a\c should start blowing for you soon and with upper 80s by Friday will be nice

Thomas hope they find the problem quickly and without much pain

Prayers for those in need

Drinking first cup of coffee. 40° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 72° with mostly sunny skies. When it warms up I will find something to do outside.

Thomas, hope the water line repair goes well.

Roy, I weaned myself off PRILOSEC (omeprazole) almost 2 years ago. 2 things I learned. The water at home from our reverse osmosis filters was causing most of my reflux. Doctor said not enough natural acids in the water to make stomach work properly. I still have attacks occasionally. When Tums will not help I take Nexium for 2 weeks. Solves problem for months afterwords.

Buckeye, hope rest of axle repairs goes good.

PJ, your wife did good painting dog.

Good Morning All.

Thomas I hope they dig up an old treasure stash, maybe a trunk filled with gold...,
instead of just costing you gold... good luck with fixing that easily.

been shopping for tshirts for new nephew. Tractors of course...
and he of course has an older sister. This is one under consideration.

They don't have too many hay bales and most of the roadside fences are made of stones. Drove round the circuit on one of the "Mad Sundays" when everyone who has gone over for the races just has to ride around the circuit. On the open road there is no speed limit and everyone was going like Hxxx. A Manx Norton on open megaphones going past at full noise sounded "FANTASTIC"

I attended the TT in ?5, flying over with a Norton Commando in the hold. Many fond memories of that trip, and yes, it痴 one of those things you just have to experience to believe and appreciate. If I go again, though, I think it値l be to the Classic TT held later in the year. I知 much more 妬nto the older bikes (and riders!) these days, er, pretty much always...

Good morning! 75˚ before sunrise heading to 95˚ with a heat index of 102˚. The moving truck will be here soon for the big move and tomorrow we will do the final walkthrough with the new owner if all goes as planned.

Randy your "country" sounds like a Texas downtown. It sounds like you have a good longevity plan with doctors, hospitals and family close.

77 degrees when I got up at 4 a.m., going for a high of 96. I noticed a little water on the driveway and found about .05" of rain in the gauge. And when Fox 4 News came on the TV, they were showing hail, up to baseball size, busted car windows, etc. less than 10 miles south of us. It appears that it was moving northeast to southwest just east of us. We're thankful that we dodged the bullet this time again.

Good Morning!!!! 62F @ 4:15AM. Partly cloudy. High 82F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Stuffy room woke me up early this morning, even though the glass sliding doors are open. Very still outside except for a fox barking and the barn swallows chittering after their mosquitos. That little fox sat by the pump house door yesterday and barked at me, and I think I heard her kits somewhere close by crying for her. I suppose that means I’ll have more fox surprises on the front door mat soon

Hope your well repairs don’t turn into a small fortune for The Dirt Man, Thomas.

Got a few last minute odds and ends done yesterday and I think the big dirt bike is ready for the trip south tomorrow. Didn’t get the test ride in that I’d planned though, as a fellow I spoke with last week about the new GS wanted to come by and buy it. Told him sure, anytime is fine, then he called back and told me it’s his wedding anniversary and his wife thought a new-to-him motorcycle would be a perfect way to spend the day. He came back from the test ride with a big grin on his face, handed me an envelope full of cash, and off they went. No Paypal fees, no eBay fees, no fishy scams, just a little DMV paperwork, a handshake, and an extra box of parts for the wife’s trunk. I guess it helps that she rides, too, and wanted him to have a big dirt bike so he could go with her. Guess I’m out of excuses and really do need to start putting another bike together to help fill up all the extra room in the garage now.:laughing:

The light winds last evening made for very nice soring for the buzzards off the point; I can sit there for hours watching their antics. They’re very curious birds, and I’ve learned that waving my arms at them will sometimes inspire a close in fly by, and I was treated to two or three of those last night. Not to be outdone, the barn swallows were darting and jinking by the patio as well, and the hummers were up to their usual bickering by the feeders. Even the dragon flies put in an appearance, so I suppose ariel artists of all sizes were represented in the evenings aerobatics show.:thumbsup:

Happy Hump Day folks!

59 earlier when I went outside and only getting up to 76 today...be-yoo-tee-ful.

PJ, wife did such a good job, almost wondering which is the statue and which is the dog. Speaking of painting, I see that a Van Gogh painting called "Woman Mending Nets by the Dunes" sold for $8.3MM...I'd like a new money making hobby so I think I'll start mending nets on a dune...or should I try painting? .

Ed, hope you get the A/C going before this nice weather is over.

BEF, great job on that axle...how you get that whole unit so clean on the outside?

Wind too strong again to spray yesterday, so went to HD and picked up some French drain pipes and parts, and then mowed ...took 1.5 hours on the zero to do what used to take almost 4.

Haircut today, gym, and another try at spraying. If no go, I'll take the spray rig off anyway and put on the bush hog...can't wait any longer.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I only vacuumed the outside, except for cleaning around the fill plug before openning it.

Here you can see the dirt.

I decided to let the gasket cement dry before filling with fluid. Just gotta fill, reattach, and see what happens. Likely wont happen today. Wasnt sure how much to torque the bolts, or how much fluid to add.

62°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 92° today. Looking like mid-90s here into the weekend. And the humidity is back.

Also looks like road construction season is officially open. IDOT is out in force this week, digging holes in perfectly good pavement. One area on I-64 near Shiloh IL has traffic backed up for about 5 miles every afternoon. I hopped off the interstate yesterday to grab a bite to eat on the way home, and to go around some of the backup. In all, it took me 2 hours to get home from work yesterday. Going to be one of those summers, I suppose.

Appreciate the comments, guys. My Wife is way better to me than I deserve. Artist, musician, seamstress, cook, loves tools, plays golf, loves motorcycles, ... and easy on the eye. She's definitely a keeper. :thumbsup:

Nice job on the repair, BEF. Hope that fixes it for good.

 

[sodamo]

66°F and .52 inches rain

Maybe get to run some of that diesel in my tractor but I suspect ground is still soft.

Major volcanic destruction in Kapoho and Vacationland but OK up here. Many more homes destroyed. Didn’t even feel the earthquakes.

Prayers for all

Be safe
Have a great day

 

[CajunRider]

Hi. Hot humid down here.
Some body kicks me. I need some incentive to move and do something. This time of the year keeping up with the grass is about all I can do.

David,
I pray that the volcano goes back to sleep for y'all.

 

[daugen]

tis the potato patch that keeps giving
another five pounds of potatoes picked after first pass with disc, couldn't bear to chop them up

sprayed fruit and nut orchards and almost didn't get through it, cheap hose on sprayer gave up the ghost
Am going to replace this piece with some heater hose or something a lot HD; needs to handle chemicals though

then I got my little Husqvarna tiller out, amazed it started, first time this year, and did the whole veggie garden.
Geez I hate those tillers, just bounce you up and down, lightweight front tine, but it works.

Lastly pulled down half of the peas, they were over the hill and getting some mold on them.

Never got to digging potatoes in raised bed; that's on for early tomorrow morning when it's a lot cooler out

found a big pile of small poops in the garden...rabbit? not a good sign...

Well if you stand in any part of my yard and look around you see fields and woods, feels like country. I grew up in NE NC so 8 know what country is, but there痴 no advantage to being far from what you use.

 

[toppop52]

72 and dry, feels like October. Sitting on my deck watching clouds pass by, birds are singing, it’s one of those wow days!
Going to take Gracie and head to grandson’s ballgame about 5:30. Got a Perdue rotisserie chicken in the slow cooker, Lima beans and corn ready to go with some boiled redskins.
Prayers for all.
