Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

54 today, 23° below normal, I’ll be glad for warmer days. Total of just under 2.3” of rain, it’s much appreciated. Church this morning, trip to FIL’s house then home to prep my oven baked pork chops.
Kids and grandkids all went home last night, quiet but a bit lonesome around here today.

Kyle, nice job on the car.

Have a good evening.

Good evening.

The Pickle Ball Tournament is over and it was successful.

The weather was OK but cool. Great when playing but not great when watching. But, no rain.

Lots of beer consumed and snacks sold.

Over 850 players jammed into the facility. No masks. Looked and felt like everything was back to normal - except, the showers were still closed.

Now that the event is over, time to get back to mowing and tractors stuff. Actually, we got done around noon and I managed to get in some tractor mowing this afternoon.

A worthwhile trip.
Bottom cabinets need a bit of TLC, especially from the demo, but not too bad. Uppers are in excellent shape.
Got home just as the skies were opening up. 101.00 inches ytd and still coming down.
Guess I’ll be unloading tomorrow (with tractor)
Looking like energy conservation rest of the day

Good afternoon! 79˚F Cloudy 40% chance of rain (none for two days now).

Eric I was trying to see the cartoon figures on those wild boots but could not quite make them out. Looks like they found some mud.

Kyle I guess I'll just have to look for a car for your daughter now. What would be an acceptable car for her, or will she be a truck person?
Keep us posted if you work on the hail damage other wise you don't have to worry if you get caught in a hail storm like I did driving to College Station once. That's when you are desperately looking for a car wash, filling station, overpass, or an unused.

Buckeye our second Sunday without mask mandate still had 5 people with mask, probably the ones who couldn't get vaccinated.

At the Domaine in Austin (mall) the sign said those fully vaccinated do not have to wear a mask, about 75% of the people had mask on. I did not and it felt good. However I was a little intimidated when I saw 3 police officers walking the store with mask and was questioning if I read the sign right until I saw 3 more without mask, then I was questioning why so much security today, just did not feel right.

I'm hoping to keep the old Impala patched up for her, but yes, she thinks she needs a 4WD truck....

"Any port, in a storm" for hail.

43F light rain low 50's for high on/off rain all day into tonight...much needed rain.

Coffee is done brewing. 40° with clear skis this morning. Heading to 74° with clouds in PM. Got liner installed in cargo box of Mule. Had to get neighbor tp help me fitted into it proper position. Then watched spent a couple hours watching a couple of historic car races. Indy 500 and NASCAR.
Going to start putting weed killer down today.

Today is the day to Remember and Honor those that Sacrificed All.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

 

[ronjhall]

David, good load of cabinets.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, Low 44 and high 70°F. Wind calm. Sunny!

Shopping in North Bay is on the agenda today. After that, who knows? Probably nothing.

Truck wont be ready until maybe Wednesday, but I am not holding my breath.

Have a safe day all

A debt that can never be repaid is owed to those who sacrificed their lives for our country. Prayers for these heroes and their families.

one step closer to bringing this JACOBSEN home. a friend is hanging on to it until we can connect in a few weeks.
apparently it runs well, is loud, and seems to be a beast just what I was after.

went to the Church service tonight for the first time since covid hit. it was nice to see a few people.

Good morning
It’s 50 and going to 70 with clear skies.
The rain total since Friday was either just over 3” or 5” depending on whether you believe the Tempest or Davis.

Yesterday was largely spent on cleaning up and organizing in the shop. It seems like I’m always too busy when working on a project to clean up, but then I’ve always got a huge mess to deal with between projects. Got the blade changed on the wood cutting bandsaw, had to refresh my memory on coiling up the one I took off. That’s one of those tasks that takes “the knack”.


I would like to mow today, but I suspect that it is too wet. Busy week this week, trips Tuesday and Friday, big outside party for grandson’s birthday on Saturday. I’m going to smoke 6 pork shoulders for the party starting it Friday evening when I get home.

56 going up to 74 today in drying weather.
Oldest brother and wife coming for a visit after lunch, they are up from VA for family dinner tonight
at my other brother's home locally. So I'm glad the lawn crew showed up bright and early to mow the place.
Downside is grass is wet and I will have to go out and hose everything down to get the splattered grass off it, like
the outdoor flower pots. This is why I ordered a mower with a bagger, to eliminate the mess and not track it inside
which I do constantly.

got a little foodshopping done this morning, McCaffreys was fully masked, customers and staff, while Giant apparently says it's fine
for no masks. I really hope we don't find out one of them was very wrong...

taking a break, second cup of coffee, then out to pick bibb lettuce.

 

[pennwalk]

It is a beautiful day. Blue sky with white clouds. Painters are here today so I probably won't get anything done here at the house but I hope to mow at the farm this afternoon. Hope grass isn't too long.

I really hope we don't find out one of them was very wrong...

Me too! The numbers are way down here but there is still some every day. Lancaster county is behind the state average for vaccination. Fingers crossed.

a fine haul, reminds me to order a lettuce spinner
would have been easier if I hadn't had to take five minutes to painstakenly wash
the lawn clippings out of the lettuce. Next time I locate the lettuce away from the edges.

yes, after zooming in I found three pieces of grass in here, I think I caught most of them putting them
in baggie

 

[daugen]

Scaredy, good luck with the Jacobsen. Nice piece of equipment to renovate.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

67° and sunshine finally, nice cool breeze. Put down some more black plastic in the garden, which wore me out already. Going to help wife with more yard work.

 

[sodamo]

69°F and 2.47 inches rain.

Need to find a convenient place for my newly acquired cabinets. Have to get a size inventory so I can be thinking possible configurations. Also a closer look at condition. Then back to Sheetrock.

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon. To my knowledge the Governor/Mayor still haven’t relaxed size for gatherings at restaurants yet.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[sodamo]

A day to reflect and be thankful to those who gave their all.

68F and sunny @ 13:00, headed up to a high of 72F. Winds light and variable, same expected for tomorrow with a little higher high temp.

Refilled hopper feeder yesterday, saw mob of six bluejays out back.

Replanted one of The Woman's pots that the chipmunks dug up, then made up some cayenne pepper juice and sprayed it. Will see if that keeps the little buggers at bay.

Also planted about a dozen marigolds next to the Japanese yew closest to the front steps.

Collected trimmings from Japanese yew and took them up and incorporated them in the compost pile.

Added another bucketload of screened soil to depression from the water/gas line trench that had settled and got that spread out with the box blade. Still needs raked and seeded ... and there's more dirt spreading and seeding to do over by root area.

Got mowing down here around the house all done.

Ran down to Menards and picked up order, grabbed another suet feeder from TSC since it was across the street.

Also grabbed a medium iced Butter Pecan coffee and an Old Fashioned from Dunkin, since it is next to TSC ...

Picked up another 8 gallons of gas on way home for the Cub Cadet.

Had one bluebird fledge early ... saw it on the ground next to Nest Box No. 1. Attempted to corral it to put it back in the nest box and was unsuccessful. Woman and I searched for it again after dinner and no joy. Status currently unknown.

On the agenda for today will be aerating the lower front, then possibly having The Woman mow the upper front while I do some additional spraying on areas that got missed the first time around.

Hope everyone has a great day ...

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Ended up mowing the yard.

Ran gas out of little tiller to put it away. It started on 2nd pull the other day and today, but I did tear the carb apart and cleaned it last year.
I want to hill the potatoes before I put plastic between them. Starting to dry out, was muddy when I put plastic between the beans earlier.
Beautiful day out to remember those that didn’t return.
