Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Something of a milestone yesterday, LS turned 600 hours. delivered 7/3/2019.

 

[daugen]

needed some exercise and got it. Trimmed and mowed the still wet lawn, ate at least a dozen cherry tomatoes, yum,
moved some veggies around, trained some cukes, and lo and behold, three to come in. A baby, perfect pickle size, a medium and a too large.
But I think the big guy will still be good, hard as a rock.
Sprayed the garden down with neem oil, hope that discourages the bugs. They were all over my roses too so had to spray that.

had the nicest long hot shower earlier, even knowing I was going out to work. Just let the hot water beat on my neck and it really helped.
so out I went and got sweaty again.
But a good sweat, place looks much nicer and I now have cukes and cherry tomatoes for dinner

time to lie down. energy meter hovering on E

Dentist visit went well. We were both good for the next 6 months.
Split some oversized stumps that were in the way for stacking.

UPS was nice to deliver the arm for lifting. Should come in handy to save the shoulder.

Finally got ZT blades sharpened. They didn’t look too bad for as long as it’s been and as many sticks I’ve hit.
Takes awhile to shuffle stuff in barn to get the lift out.
Also swapped trailers on the truck. Never did get brake issue figured out on the big trailer.
About all I’m getting done today. Sitting on porch with snagglepuss asleep in my lap.

 

[sodamo]

Nice cukes, Drew

 

[sodamo]

Another section mowed. Beautiful morning. Taking a break before Happy Hour.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

79° but still humid
Got some stuff packed in truck for tomorrow.

the only place in PA to get rain and right over my head, little system dumped another .15 in high winds
temps dropped quickly which is nice

need to research brand and model of back up battery for my garage door.
It's been a weak performer from the start.
going to try to put in a larger capacity battery; need to see how it's mounted
problem is the gfi in garage keeps popping, usually because of a power outage, and the garage door of course is
plugged into that.
I can't be climbing in windows any more. Had visions of legs on that big plastic utility table collapsing with me on it, covering me in all the crap
I had piled on it anyway
one of those let's not do this again moments.

funny, the garage door came up six, maybe eight inches. I looked at it and wondered if I could slide under it.
not a chance, probably get stuck under there to boot.

have a good evening

65F still raining.

Brooks and streams roaring lot home owner have wash out driveways number trees down guess were lucky so far no damage,

Had great meet with boss and his idea 15 less working hours and more coins for the pocket,boss didn't want answer until next Monday so Mrs. could think it over.

No plans for the evening...watch little tv enjoy homemade oatmeal cookies with cold glass of milk.

Enjoy your evening all.

Sophie has decided it’t time to replace our mattress cal king. Did some research. Mind boggling, and expensive.

16 years ago (give or take a month) I bought a "Tempur" mattress and I haven't looked back. Absolutely the best mattress and it's still as good as the first night I slept on it. Very supportive.

I was even able to claim the cost on tax, with a note from my Doctor, as I have Type II diabetes = the mattress is great for 'circulation'.

Yes, they're initially expensive. However with 16+ years use and no 'end' in sight, they're actually a bargain.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low was 11.2C, however a howling wind gave a wind-chill of 5.4C. It's presently 16C, clear and calm.

Yesterday's Church Council meeting went well... seeing as our new priest is, well, 'new', I asked how he was 'set up' for regalia (cassock/surplice/stole(s)) and if our Church had a "slop chest" (Navy expression) of items that he could use. He's been in 'civvies' (the occasional 'dogs-collar') since taking over, however there are some occasions where more formal/ceremonial attire would be required. Short answer is that yes there are or can be located.

I believe that the 'Mad Agisting Horse Woman' would like a Paddock transfer this arvo, so a wee bit of tractor-fun is in my future.

That's about it, take care all.

I should get a Dr's note and claim it as a medical expense also - lots of back issues that persist after a MVA years ago. Thank you for that info

61 high in 80s no rain no humidity

Got home late last night very tired, on the way home wife forgot who I was would not let me in house or bed for two hours had to try and jog memory at 12:30 finally remembered.

Prayers for scaredy all others silent or spoken our Country

Extra prayers for you and your wife. I don't know her condition, but my wife's grandfather was low energy, hard to understand, bad memory etc. Then he got a pacemaker, and I witnessed a super improvement with his wit and communication, good memory, and also not nodding off all the time.

67F raining low 70's rain all day into tomorrow AM.

Outside chores done E muffin time.

Younger bear tested Boo last evening,Boo was laying in favor spot and youngster kept approaching slowly moving head side to side,Boo stood up open his mouth than charge younger bear younger bear retreaded on the run down the driveway,Boo might have gone 20' than stop turn around lay down in his favorite spot...Boo easy weigh 125+lbs more...interesting to watch.

Plans for today...Boss call last evening like to meet late morning he said "I got idea I think you and I can work with" looking forward to meet.PM because of the rainy conditions not sure to do.

Enjoy your day all.

Big Boo runs the block!
I'd never want to step outside, and worry about my kids coming and going.

69 outside this AM, Grey and heading to mid 80's. Still humid.

Hope all are well. Prayers to those in need.

Never got to finish weed whacking, just cannot keep up with all the maintenance, projects and people needs.

Road trip to NY again for daughter. Not doing to well. Will see what the doctors say.

Prayers for your daughter and family rip.

Almost bought a 2014 Tahoe on an auction today for the daughter, but it went just a scosche higher than we wanted to pay. She was sad for a bit, but I had "coached her up" and we had prayed prior to the event. Told her to save up some more money. Someone got a great deal.

Work was very busy, but no big ticket items punched. Lots of little things done, but have so many more to do. Spending time with my student workers, helping them learn about repairs, and attention to details.

Haven't heard from LS lately? PJS?

Hope and prayers for our team. Welcome home Drew. Prayers for rain down here.

I saw a real estate graphic that showed the increase or decrease in building permits by states. It looked like the states bordering Canada all had big increases. I can't say what that means but it is interesting.

Chris

Did it show central Texas?

 

[txdon]

I now have cukes

To make pickles, Tractor Supply and Walmart have Mrs. Wages pickling spice.

Mate, I did the same thing (Doctor's note for Tax purposes) for a 'whiz-bang' supportive computer/office chair and for the same reason = circulation = medical. The Doctor had no problem with providing the note/endorsement.

I bought it at the same time as the "Tempur" mattress.

The federal tax office didn't even quibble over the deduction.

 

[Wagtail]

Rand wife and I only got 10 years from 1st Tempur, tried firmer one in hopes it would last longer, no luck , too firm.

Well that's a bugger... as I wrote, mine's still going strong.

Yes, they're 'firm' when you first lay down. Then your body heat allows the foam to conform to your shape/contour.

 

[NHBX]

65F still raining.

Brooks and streams roaring lot home owner have wash out driveways number trees down guess were lucky so far no damage

Lucky here as well, steady rain all day yesterday with a bit of wind but no major damage. Looks like VT got hammered as well.

Stay safe
