Like many I thought about my Dad who received a "V" Bronze Star for his actions during the "Battle of the Bulge."

I can not believe how long this "Rex Blocking" weather pattern has been dominating the weather with clear skies and seasonal to above seasonal temperature. And this pattern will continue through the workweek.

Yesterday was just cheeseburgers, etc. and the only excitement was when my fat @r$e fell through the camp stool during HH. It took awhile to extricate myself; for a moment I thought this might turn out to be a "911'er".

And for the first time I managed to photograph an Eastern Bluebird. Not the greatest of pics, but with this pic I have now photographed 41 different species in the past 2 years on this property.

Putter to start morning, we were going to to go to American Legion breakfast/Memorial service when wife took ill so we got breakfast and left. Getting ready for ride and found bike had a flat.

Good morning, the low is 60 and the high going to 82°F. Wind SW 5 to 10 mph. Zero chance of precipitation. Sunny!

Drew, I can be a cynical old schmuck at times. So if it sounds like that I don't mean to be. On backing up, If in doubt get off your a$$ and go look. I do that constantly when I am backing two trailers. Not so much when backing one. Backing up can and is tricky for some. It is just a skill set you need to teach yourself, or go to a driving school and learn. I did. In 1969. I could back into a spot on the left (clear side), but couldn't on the right (blind side). I will still go ten miles out of my way to back in on the clear side. I ONLY back the trains from the clear side or straight back.
Now I am going to sound like I am volunteering someone else, but I will bet that if you supplied the beer, popgadget could probably make you a bumper that would be a lot stronger than stock.


Buppies, I will add to your list a '55/56 Packard.
Did you know that Packard was the FIRST car manufacturer to offer A/C as a factory option in 1940? That was news to me too.

Kilroy, I have seen some of his stuff, but I am not totally positive where he is in Ontario. I do think he is here...somewhere.

txdon, most cats do NOT like riding in vehicles. Don't know why, they just don't.

I have a small bit of body work to do on the Dodge today. A 6"x6" patch of paint fell off. I'll get the angle grinder out with the wire wheel on it and shine up the piece and paint it with black stone guard again. I did it two years ago, now it is time to do it again.

5 days until I am gone down south, grab my big truck and then gone northwest for the summer.

Gotta get my tail in gear before the heat hits.

Have safe day all

Well, Ontario has a lot of “somewhere” that some can be, amirite?

Jay my dad was there second division Germans ran right over top of him literally Tiger Tank

 

[KilroyJC]

Kilroy, I have a pretty good idea where Sawing with Sandy may be located, but in the interest of his privacy I will not search him out.
If you are interested in log home building AND living off grid, you might try "My Self Reliance" he is in Ontario, too. He is about 50 miles away from me. I wont go near his place either.

I would never try to to in-person meet anyone without a complete set of DM’s and full confidence beforehand. Let alone go on their property unannounced !!!

But Sandy seems like a guy it would be fun to hang out with and make big pieces of wood into little pieces of wood..l

 

[Buppies]

That was funny PopG feel better soon

Jay winter time pattern for sure similar to 2009

67°F and no rain.

Let the flailing continue. Another hour or so and should finish up the Hilo end then move to interior areas. I did pu more diesel when in town yesterday.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
