Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Jay, great news without the brace

 

[sodamo]

Progress, just less than I had hoped.

Subsoiler worked well busting out cut concrete


But a number of areas where depth was greater than the saw and had to be chipped out with hammer and chisel. More than I would like for this job, but as I told wife, good to know that our driveway is well built. A couple of places a couple inches below the saw cut. This particular area was near our drainage swale


You can see a lot of the chipped out rumble. I made a 4” point for the subsoiler from an old trench shovel. This was a test run.


A couple more passes should get me down to depth.
A good day

Making progress David.

Had storms come thru in the night, sunny out now, up too early.

 

[Looking4new]

42 °F and going to a high of 68. Wind WNW 15 mph. Mostly sunny.
The T-storms moved out just as fast as they moved in. Started at about 8 P.M. and were all done by midnight.

Jay, don't make any fast moves with the knee and it may be o.k. No twisting the bum leg.

David, it is good to see you finally getting the propane line in. I think you should have used the 'cut and cover' method right from the get-go.


Have a good day all

55 now going to first 80's in a long time! Still to much rain in the forecast. Tried taking the tractor out in the back yard and promptly sunk in the mud. Broke out the rototiller and started a new spot for the garden. So many rocks I popped two pins. Need to get more later. Hopefully get a few things planted today. Hope everyone is healthy and safe. Remember the fallen on this Memorial day.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 63° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72° with partly sunny skies and late afternoon rain. Yesterday was hot and sticky. Did not get much done. New 3/4" gold fish are mostly hiding or the 2 bigger fish had a good meal. Plan to put weed killer down and do some garden pond maintenance. Maybe some Indy 500 and NASCAR in afternoon. Weather permitting.

David, cut is looking good.

Jay, glad brace is off.

Roy, rest your back.

Mostly, like the head stone.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

54F clear sky upper 70's for high.

Outside chores done critters enjoy breakfast.
Plans for today...quick trip to town,shed good sweeping,check game cams,maybe watch little nascar later tonight other than that putter.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning 60 now, supposed to to 80 and likely rain.

Yesterday we were supposed to go to a wedding and birthday party. Wife got called into work on an emergency, so I went to the wedding then came home and mowed. She got home and decided it was too late to make it to the 2nd event. So she joined me in mowing. Got done just as the first of several brief showers started. I felt fried when I got off the tractor, even wore a hat and felt fried. It was hot 89) and very humid.

Need to put new blades on the NH mower. There is no sharpening left of the old blades. Local dealer had them in stock. I will save that for a rainy day.

Everyone have a safe and good day.

Keep all veterans in your thoughts this weekend........

60 and muggy right now...high in the upper 70's and calling for thunderstorms.

I did get the mowing done yesterday...trimming too. No particular plans or chores today.

 

[wngsprd]

67 going to 92. Storms skipped by near us again last night...close but no cigar.

Jay, glad you have your brace off...but don't go play king of the hill with your big new yard friend .

David, smart use of old shovel.

Oldest son and his wife came by last evening to pick up their Chesapeake Bay Retriever...we had been dog sitting for a week while they were at the beach. He was the mentor to my CBR when Coco was a puppy.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 5:00 AM. Rain ending this morning. Breaks of sun in the afternoon. High 64F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

Woke up to rain a couple hours ago, wind blowing it against the window made a lot of noise. This long, wet spring is gonna make for a huge fuel load and a really bad fire season...

Is it unusual to see bears in your back yard, Jay? I doubt you could outrun that one, even without a brace!:laughing:

So it was the deeper concrete that stopped your water drill, David? You gave it a good try, and succeeded on the shorter run, but I'm glad it'll soon be done. I bet not as glad as you will be, though.:thumbsup:

Hope everyone's enjoying the three day weekend...

 

[cat fever]

Good morning all,

45 to start the day and mostly clear. It did rain a couple times yesterday, short and fast rain showers but enough to keep things wet/muddy.

Prayers for all, have a nice day.

 

[Buppies]

75 high of 93 hot Hooter hottest up to 96 this week getting dry

Prayers for all in need

 

[CWB Wyo]

It was 31° this morning. Yesterday was partly cloudy with a high in mid 50's. Today is going to be a repeat of yesterday. The forecast doesn't show it getting much warmer for the week and more showers.

We got the dishwasher in, it took longer then I thought. There was more story telling then work.

Not sure what the plans are for today, I'll see what happens.

Hope everyone has a great day.
CWB.

 

[Bird]

74 degrees going for 90 today. We can expect miserable weather for at least the next 4 months.

 

[lostcreekranch]

Good Sunday Morning. It was 73°F here this morning and clear. The forecasters say we'll see 90°F later today. With 92% humidity it may be another day to do things in tractors with A/C cabs. . Rain is in the forecast for Tuesday thru Friday.

Poor folks in Oklahoma can't catch a break. More tornadoes and bad weather again last night ..... please keep them in your prayers.

I need to mow around the house so ..... will get busy on that before it gets too hot. The Kubota ZT ...... has poor A/C.

Everyone have an enjoyable day.

Prayers to all.

 

[toppop52]

80° with 80 % humidity, heat index is 85. High today low to mid 90s with high humidity.

All the family has headed home, it’s so quiet I can hear the dog and one cat snoring.
Had a good visit though.

Headed to the nursing home in a few minutes.

Hope you all have a great day, but be sure to remember those Gold Star families this weekend.

Prayers to all.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

A humid 51ºF for today's low; a humid mixed sun/clouds 69ºF presently and I anticipate a humid afternoon. In the mid-high 70ºF's.. I would not be surprised to see a popup T-storm/rain showers this PM. I actually turned on the A/C after this AM's walk of the lower perimeter due to the humidity. Wifey and I are going down to CT to celebrate birthdays and Memorial Day with ex-BIL's family. A lot of military in his family It will be a relatively long day with 4 hours on the road. After Memorial Day I see a lot of days with rain until next Friday.

Mr. Knee thanks everyone for the + thoughts about being brace-free. I/He will still wear the brace for climbing up my hill (which I have not done since January) and when I am carrying weight.

Bears are a fact of life here, Last year it was Momma bear with 3 cubs as the regular visitors. We do not encourage them by leaving food outside. Those bird feeders are the exception. I/we have had 5 bears here on the front lawn and deck at one time years ago when the pear tree was heavily fruiting. They seem to have a weird social system based on hierarchy, scent, and territory. IMHO they are not as solitary as people think. Bears can sprint up to +35mph for short bursts. I did have one encounter with a very agitated sow with treed cubs many years ago . She was more agitated with my crazy coondog mixed dog howling/baying and just having a good old time making a ruckus. I talked to a UMass biologist who specialized in bears after this encounter and he told me the sow would probably not have chased me far due to the dog and her treed cubs. BTW- Bonehead dog survived his encounter without injury.

David- I am amazed with your talents working concrete as well as the rest of your and Sophie's place on a daily basis.

Bruce- Thanks for sharing your rides and picture.

"Tried taking the tractor out in the back yard and promptly sunk in the mud."- Phil. I have not moved my NH far from around the house due to the surface moisture.I may or may not till our garden this week due to the predicted weather for MA.

Bird- Way to hot down in FL for me, but the T-storms are impressive. When a Floridian complains about the heat it is HOT.

Poor folks in Oklahoma can't catch a break. More tornadoes and bad weather again last night ..... please keep them in your prayers- Rick. I think we are seeing a new "normal" weather-wise.

Randy- I am happy you had quality time with your family.

I hope that everyone is having a manageable Sunday.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Good Morning,

Cool here in SoCal, should be in the mid to high 70's, maybe 80's but it is in the 60's instead and will be for a couple of days.
Weather is really screwed up all over the US, God Bless all in bad weather areas.
Need to get the Brush Hog out and go over the areas I cut two weeks ago, should have cut them last week but things get put off.

Thinking on a PHD, $1000, with Auger and free delivery, no one delivers to my area FREE, no matter what they say. Shipping companies always want the EXTRA Charge ! I got a quote from a guy on Craig's List, 30+ hole, for $750, one day operation stated by Operator... could do two days with rented Skid Steer PHD and Augers for only $250 more if we do the weekend... $1000.00 !?!
Thinking it has to be easier to have someone else do the holes for less than buying the equipment and all the labor and headaches of working PHD on a Max 28.

Coffee is bitter this morning, what's up with that !?! :thumbdown:

Maybe a Beer... no too early for that; have to get to the cutting and then start the measuring for the Posts... then need to make my mind up... will I or won't I buy and put myself through a load of work putting in some holes for these posts !?!

Must be the coffee isn't working yet, mind is still foggy !

Oh ya, need to re-install my Truck's Windshield Washer/Radiator Overflow Tank, bought a new one from RockAuto... CHINA stuff, who knew, :thumbdown: !
The first install of the Tank, when I installed it, it's a new part right, leaking everywhere, didn't check it out, just assumed it was my Windshield Washer Lines, bought new, replaced. Leaking still, took it out, tested for leaks in the container... looks like the gasket is leaking, not able to get a new gasket so a little sealer around the gasket... guess what, it wasn't the gasket. The Pump is leaking from the bottom of the unit, a little Gorilla, waterproof Adhesive and Wham-Bam, no more leaking, (part was beyond the return time, go figure). I left the unit full of water outside last night, if it is full when I check it out, INSTALL time again; 0745 hrs., could get to the fields by 1000 hrs.
Hoping for the best, but we need to address this CHINA parts thing, ok on getting parts from different places but at least make sure they are quality parts.

OK I have said enough I need to add some sugar to this coffee, maybe that is what I forgot this AM... sugar !

Have a GREAT DAY and may God Bless all !

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 46, going up to 78. Breezy to windy conditions. No rain forecast.

Did a bunch of errands yesterday...twice. Forgot some stuff that wasn't 'on the list' the first time....

Got a late start doing some outside work on the driveway, but got a lot done....more of the same work is on today's agenda.

Mr knee did not appreciate all the walking/movement yesterday, swelled up last night.... I guess the cortisone shot is wearing off.

Everyone have a great weekend, don't forget to thank a vet! Prayers sent for all.
