35 and 2 inches of snow here in NW Pa.

Some tools are of sentimental value to me because having been with me for a long time. One of those is this 6 inch Bahco adjustable wrench that was given to me at 15 years old when starting my apprenticeship and I have used this constantly since then. For several years I was carrying it in the side pocket of the coveralls so it is still polished from wear. Not worth a whole lot but to me it is priceless.

Good morning, low temp was 37 and the high to 41°F. Wind N 6 mph. A few rain showers or flurries.
We haven't seen any snow yet, and for now they can keep it down in the Buckeye State. At least until all my wood is in.

More wood to put in today, then rip the license plates off the Jeep, it goes tomorrow around noon. I had suggested he flat tow it but his daughters' boyfriend who is a Jeep mechanic said NO. Buddy is bringing a stock car trailer for it.

I will shoot up to North Bay and get my trailer spring and be back here by about 10 A.M. By noon I should have the spring in the trailer and the tractor all warmed up for loading the Jeep. Yes, it runs and drives, just doesn't stop very good (no brakes), so that is where the tractor comes in.
The garage the Jeep used to live in now has the BH and Z-turn. My car insurance went down $600.oo/year when I cancelled the Jeep.
IF I ever get the privilege of ordering another new vehicle, it will probably be a new Jeep Gladiator, ONLY if it comes with a manual transmission.

That's it for today, more wood and plates.

Have a safe day all

Good Morning!!!! 76F @ 8:00AM. Plentiful sunshine. Near record high temperatures. High 91F. Winds light and variable.
Looks like we're back to having summertime again. There was rain in the 10-day earlier, but it's disappeared now. The daytime highs will be dropping back into the 70s, though. Brrrr!

Neat wrench, Frits. Looks like the end could be used for a tire iron?

Yesterday I wrote out a complaint on the hotel we stayed in last weekend, posting it on Google and the motel's customer feedback form. I'll be surprised if I hear anything back.

The folks I ride motorcycles with down in SoCal use 2-way radios to stay in touch, so yesterday I dug mine out to see if I can get it working again. First step was to put it on the charger, today I'll see about hooking it up to the intercom system that's already on the bike.

Caught this pest sleeping outside the front door yesterday. Chased him away several times but he keeps comin' back. Haven't checked when deer season opens here, but that might be an answer to his problem.

Also looks like I need to put window washing on the list, too.

Happy Hump Day!

39F and a rain shower @ 11:00, heading up to a high of around 43F for the day.

Calling for rain early then remaining cloudy this afternoon with occasional rain showers, possibility of snow mixing in. Chance of rain 90%. Liquid accumulation since last midnight was 0.11". Low temp this morning at the LWS was 32.7F, think that is the coldest so far this season.

Used laser level last night to mark out line for track lighting in the dining room. Need to see if I can locate a suitably sized drill bit today and drill the holes for the wall anchors. Also mark out the location for the electrical box and get that cut out and the wires passed up through the wall for that.

The wiring is set up for for two switches to control it (three way switch ?) and has been hanging there since we pulled the 8' fluorescent fixture it controlled years ago. Need to see if I can figure out how it was wired. It's the original wiring, so hopefully they didn't do anything non-standard. I assume it is still hot, as I didn't notice any disconnected wires at either panel.

Good bet hopper feeder needs refilled ... so probably will venture out to handle that at some point.

Other than that, will probably spend some time down in the basement cleaning up down there.

More tools that need gathered up/organized.

There's a number of pieces of wood (2 x 4's and 3/4" plywood) that need painted or poly'ed so might get to that as well.

Finish up the light fixture layout for the barn.

Finish up next Menards order and get that placed so we can get down there and pick it tomorrow before the nice weather returns.

Hope everyone has a great Hump Day ...

RNG - looks like he wants to hide out at your place until the season is over.

L4N - Just unloaded a BMW we were not using much. Put some money in my pocket and shrunk my insurance bill by $720 annually... plus $500 registration was due and new high dollar tires were needed plus a brake service due and a recall... was the breaking point for me.

Nice buck RNG looks like he wants to stay a spell

70°G and no rain

Productive trip to town yesterday
Lunch at Burger King, 1st time in ages. Even made a run to PO and the dump.

Friends arriving today from Michigan for a 2 week visit. We see Kathy regularly on Zoom Happy Hour, but not Lenny. Will be good to get caught up.

Sophie’s new iPhone came in late yesterday, so spent the early evening getting that setup. Need to box up her old one today for trade in.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Haven't checked when deer season opens here, but that might be an answer to his problem.

Hmpf. Deer season opened the third Saturday in September, and only lasted 16 days. Imagine hunting in 100F+ temps. No wonder I quit hunting.

Squirrel season always opens here on August 1st. Never feels like hunting season until we get the first frost.
