Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

Don,

That looks (and sounds) pretty tasty ...

 

[lostcreekranch]

You might want to consider buying one...they're not that expensive and you can use it at your leisure. IIRC, paid about $225 or so for mine...

I've looking online for pallet forks now...both new and used. Looks like most are skid steer type mounting. I don't have that, but looking into my options

Try Titan Roy.

Could you get a logging chain around the base and drag it that way? The chain will get crapped up (that's where my current dose came from), but with washable gloves and a long sleeve shirt, you can keep it off of you for the most part. Then pressure wash the chain and anything you touched on the tractor. Which is something I still need to do...

Cut off the poison Ivy vines just above the ground and stump kill with 20% Remedy / 80% diesel.

If you get it on your skin .. Tecnu is hard to beat..

47 right now...high in the mid-60's...

Dump run in a couple hours, then to Randolph to get a haircut.
After that, finish up aerating the lawn.
I brought a very heavy duty pallet home from work...posted about this a day or two back. I'll get that where I need it and put the front blade on it.

Depending on how things go, I'll get down on the field to start trimming some branches and dropping a couple trees later today

Thank you for the suggestion and link!!

36 and frost heading to 64 and rain later.

Chris, good luck with that poison ivy. I always spray with 2% glyphosate and let id die before messing with it...except this year I did chop some off at the ground with a bush axe before it leafed out. I need to go back and spray.

Eric, I can see some nice angling in your future with that fish refuge. Just hope the alien doesn't come back.

The trail I hiked Tuesday was so beautiful, I took my wife back yesterday on part of it...hiked back down to Camp Hoover and had a picnic on the deck in front of his former cabin. Then explored the whole camp where some other buildings and ruins have interpretive signs and trails. One of the cabins is named "Prime Minister's" after the British Prime Minister who stayed there when discussing affairs with the President. Even more wildflowers were blooming. I've never seen so many.

good morning all.
Warmer day today, 40 now up to 70 in clouds and then a pretty good rainstorm comes in tonight.

Frost night before last made a few plants unhappy around the edges but looks like almost everything survived.
Potatoes are just jumping up. Except in the middle where the kennebecs I planted are very slow to come in.
Red potatoes seem a lot more interested in growing. I sprinkled some fertilizer on them, watered them, and up they come.

Billy, be careful of both big critters and crazy people on your long walks. You never know who is out there with you, sadly.

Good morning

42 now highs a round 70 and sunny today. Winds WSW 5-15 mph.

Plans for now, finish coffee and load truck for a dump run this morning. Will spend rest of day playing in the yard.
Steaks on the grill and a couple of beers this evening.

Mostly- good news on your wife

Prayers for those folks in need
Stay safe and healthy
Enjoy your day everyone

39F clear sky mid 60's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.

Plans for today...trip to town for critter food,rake stones back onto driveway,finish picking up limbs and branches,might check game cam.

Enjoy the day all.

((( Ron ))) miss your posting/pictures.

Mostly...Indeed great news.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, temperature 43°F and the high will be 59. Wind WSW 7 mph. Mainly cloudy.

New Drolet Tundra II wood furnace is installed, the Regency wood stove that came out of the basement is now my new incinerator and the old incinerator is in the trailer waiting to go to the dump. Using decommissioned (unfit for the house) woodstoves have their advantages over burn barrels. I can burn during a 'burn ban'. The firebox might be smaller, but the fire is also contained. It has two sections of 7" double wall chimney on it as well. They were kicked out of the house due to not being sound enough.

I left my radishes uncovered last night, but tonight and tomorrow night they will need to be covered, the temp is going to dip down to near freezing tonight, 16F tomorrow night.

Oil changes are on my plate for today; tractor, genny, both mowers.


Stay safe all

I sent that article on the Appalachian Trail to my oldest brother, who lives less than a mile from it in central VA, borders his property since you can "come down" in that area.
interesting reply.
We may have told you about a recent incident. A 20 year old normal looking Appalachian trail hiker knocked on our front door, said he was lost and asked what state he was in. He had a back-pack only. We gave him some food and told him we would call the local sheriff who could help him. Two sheriffs showed up, frisked him and took him away. They told us they would help him. We tried to learn what happened, but the police could not tell us due to privacy reasons.

going on walkabout may be just the thing to sooth a troubled soul. The young man who showed up at my brother's
was clearly having some mild psychological challenges and was a little confused. He needed help and pretty sure ultimately he got it.
He was fed and given a bottle of water and kept outside until the local police came. They treated the young guy with respect.

Being out in nature I find usually very calming.
You forget your own problems by being happily distracted by the natural beauty around.
Nothing better than hearing birds sing in deep woods.
Actually they are out there singing now. Wish I could understand them.

Mostly, special prayers for your wife's health and both of your worry level. Hope you have a good weekend.
You too Toppop!

I don't know what's gotten into people these days. This past week we had a stabbing at a local boat ramp, and last year there were several shootings out on the boonies, one that led to a three day man hunt. The perpetrators and victims didn't know each other, it was just random violence. Then there are all the shootings around dope grows on public lands.

Good Morning!!!! 56F @ 4:45AM. Overcast. High 69F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.
The wind's been blowing all night, and doesn't show any signs of slowing down anytime soon. Rain headed in tonight, but totals are now down into the half inch range.

Finished up the gravel for the firewood pad and got all the wood moved, cleaned up a bunch of sticks and blew off the driveway. Gosh, that dual battery Makita blower is strong! Think I'll use it on the gutters this year, but I'm gonna have to turn it down so I don't lose my balance.

Treated the pad with RM43 pre-emergent before the wood went down, and used the rest of the tank on some spots I'd missed last time. If it stays dry, that might do it for the rest of the summer. Trying to see a silver lining to the drought.

Gonna have to get started mowing next week before the grass gets too dry, and too tall, to cut. Gonna be fun trying out the side shift on the flail mower for the first time.

I told myself I wasn't going to do it, but I think I'll go ahead and buck the logs the tree cutters left to get them out of the way of mowing. I'll be in the wood yard today doing that if you need me...

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good morning, with a slight haze here to temper the sunshine, it is not a bad day to be out and enjoy some calming nature as Drew suggests, only minor issue is the wind. Not that it is blowing strong, only issue is the direction - it puts us downwind of where a neighbour is spreading the slurry accumulated over the winter from his dairy herd. You are all so lucky that as fancy as this new revamped forum format is, it does not have facilities for attaching odour...

Todays project is to make 2 end supports to take straining wires for my wife 's raspberry canes. A rare opportunity to simultaneously keep her happy while playing at welding a bit of angle iron

RNG, thanks a pike bobbler is a good suggestion for a marker float - and a great excuse to look at fishing tackle !

Mostly, great to hear your wife's new medicine seems to be doing the trick.

I once heard of a dairy man's opinion of that smell, Eric: "Smells like money."
