About time you had long run of good luck Buppies.

Yep, Buppies is overdue for that!

 

[two_bit_score]

Congrats on belated Anniversary LS, and your GS!

I had to take my kid out for chicken tenders (his favorite) when he aced the Texas bench mark test last week. I still have to teach him common sense.

Congratulations!

Coffee has finished brewing. 66° with some clouds this morning. Heading to 81° with afternoon clouds. Pond cleanup went very well. But no frogs to be found around pond. Then later in day was checking how clear water is in pond. Mr. Heron was visiting. He left quickly. Will have to put wire across pond to stop Heron attacks. In afternoon decided to do some clean up around chicken coop. Didn't take long and I was sweating very badly. Back into the house.
Yesterdays Sunrise.

I don't know how those in the 100° temperatures. Survive in that heat. I have problems in anything over 80°.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[wngsprd]

65 going to 95. 30 degree increase during the day...yesterday it was 37.

Ron, nice sunrise...nice side benefit of sunrises is it's always cooler.

Kyle, congrats to your son...sounds like he's working hard on his studies.

My knee is acting up, so just took a slow stick-pick-up hike back in the woods...plus had a trail cam that needed a battery refresh. Roasted 3 batches of coffee...realized my inventory of green beans is extremely low, so will place an order in a few minutes.

Prayers, Buppies.

good morning all
cloudy day, high in upper 80's.
food shopping this morning, then need to work in garage to tidy it up.
I need to haul most stuff out of there and put it back in a better manner.
I sure could use another garage...........but then, most of you could too.

tried to eat healthy last night and had a salad made with extra firm tofu.
it's just so tasteless...no matter what I dumped on it. maybe I'll try the flavored stuff next time.
I do this once a year and that's my fill of tofu.

Scootr, glad to hear you are doing ok. Keep your feet dry.

Ted, is any of this rain making it over to you?

 

[m7040]

Good morning, 64 going to 91 no rain. Could use some of that rain from Hilary

Some further improvement with the knee. Icing and heat did help some

Not much on the agenda

 

[Buppies]

Congrats to Kyle and son. B
Glad knee is better m7040 ditto on rain

two bit score thanks

72 high 95 hot all week I hate 90s now. Several young men held door open for me in several places yesterday maybe manners and change are coming after al.

Prayers for all our Country

 

[Buppies]

Good Morning Thomas enjoyed stories of Boo 1 and 2

 

[Thomas]

60F cloudy mid 70's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.

Going to be might day...might take trimmer for walk,sweep shed out,check out recliners,etc. etc.one thing for sure will not pick on Mrs.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[Thomas]

Several young men held door open for me in several places yesterday maybe manners and change are coming after al.

Strange you brought that up,Mrs. and I were talking on the same subject last evening.

 

[daugen]

Buppies, nice that happened, holding doors is a wonderful thing. Makes both folks happy.

going to take drone up in Lambertville NJ today after shopping and get a pic of the bridge,
and then will try, and I mean try, to get to this place to take pics.
Goat Hill Overlook Trailhead - Google Maps

half a mile straight up from parking lot.
we shall see
might take e bike but means putting hitch back on car and not that motivated.
I need the exercise anyway.
how much can half a mile be?


well at least coming back is down hill. Always look on the bright side.

Frits, hope knee is getting better. Wish we were born with a grease zerk
on our knees. They seem to wear out too soon. Look at the terrible time Ted
has had with his. If you sit and do nothing (stay off it) you get out of shape and
stiff and then have more issues. The joys of the golden years.

Good Morning
66 with a high in the middle 80’s today under partly cloudy skies with a 0% probability of rain.

Yesterday was a nice day as well. I puttered around a bit in the morning, getting a few details on the P51 taken care of so it would be ready to go after lunch. Had Zoe out running around trying to use up some energy, chasing her Jolly ball.

The P51 flew well, plenty of power, but excessively touchy on the controls. Quite fast, and a handful with the controls set the way that they were. Flew it around for a while to get a feel for it and then landed it successfully. It did great aerobatics, could go almost straight up on power alone. It was pretty windy at the field, so I did adjust the setup to make it a bit more manageable, I only made the one flight.

When I got home, I put the 3PT mower on and did the pastures, then did the perimeters with the Lazer. Grandson wasn’t around for the tractor, but joined me on the Lazer. He must have been pretty tired.

He drifted in and out for a while before settling on out.
Last thing on the agenda was the access point in the barn. I relocated it, so I had to run an Ethernet cable from the switch to the new location. It seems like every time I terminate a cable on a ladder or some other awkward spot, I get a wire or two crossed, but I was extra careful this time and the cable tested good on the first try. The POE switch gave me come configuration issues, but it’s all up and running now.

Zoom call today at 11, not much else planned for the day. I managed to get all caught up with the outside and tractor chores. I do need to take a ride around the perimeter of the hedgerows and pick up fallen branches and limbs and put them on the brush pile.

Good morning! 74 heading over 100 today. My hopes for a non 100 day tomorrow are dashed. All weather stations are now predicting 100-101, and the chance of rain keeps going down. Now next chance below 100 will be in 8 days.
Maybe TS Franklin will bring us some rain.

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning Guys,
63 to start going to 74 ! Cloudy now ! Front moving through later today, then drop in humidity!

PopG, great picture of GS on the Laser ! Looks pretty tired !

All have a blessed and safe day !

 

[KilroyJC]

Good morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

64F going to upper 80s, sunny all day. Local airport weather recorder station is down for a fourth day…

running a bit behind this morning, need to call and see how pickup is doing at the shop, heading to woodlot to do a little excavator work and get it to 50 hours and change drive motor oil.

catch you all later!

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

66 outside this AM, heading to lower 90's. 97% humidity.

As of about 45 minutes ago, it is a definite Monday at the day job. Like a switch we go from auto-pilot to full control. But not in a good way. LOL.

Yesterday the wife and I ran some errands and stopped by a favorite eatery for lunch. We paid our respects to the establishment and honored the memory of the owner who recently passed. He was a pillar in the community, here is hoping his legacy goes forward.

We also managed to beat back Mother Nature on a variety of tasks yesterday. I think I managed to avoid poison ivy, but will see in another day or so. We hung a hidden driveway sign about 500 feet from our entrance on the main drag. Hopes that it will slow people down. Of course as I am out there, a person goes really fast, probably in excess of 60 mph right by me. A ribbon flew out of his car, landed on the road. His turn signal comes on and I figured he would stop and come back up the road for it. Nope. Just kept going. Hope it was not for his kids accomplishments in the local pony show.

A roofer is supposed to come by mid-week for the estimate on the chimney hole patch. Would be nice it they can do it and for a decent price. Need to do that before the plumbers do their thing.

Hope all have a great start to the work week. Be safe. Those ailing, get better soon.

64°
Wife decided to not walk the trail, she thought it would be hotter out.
Squirrel on back deck toying with the inside cats.
Snagglepuss is now with me on front porch.
The 2 hummingbirds still like the feeder, one chases the other off.
Not sure what to get into today.

 

[gstrom99]

Good morning. 73 now, going up to 93. 101, 106, 103 next three days. Uggh! I don't remember having a 106 temp, ever...

Walmart.com canceled the Wagner power roller I ordered, had to go with Amazon (same $). Too hot to paint the shop walls anyway, since the wiring for the A/C unit is on hold until the garage doors get in. The raised tracks/spring shafts will be real close to the corner, which is where the conduit is supposed to go.

I'm waiting on three contracted things for the shop: Hot Dawg heater, roll-up garage doors, Rotary two post car lift. I don't like waiting on other people and/or orders, but that seems to be the "new norm".

good trip to supermarket.
forgot to take in my paper bags in trunk so got nicked for two bags at ten cents each.
I try to get three uses out of the paper bags; if I double them up the second and third time, most hold up.
everyone is trying to get away from plastic

Other supermarket doesn't charge for bags. Of course their prices are 20-30 percent higher.
Our practice of throwing this stuff out after one use if avoidable is becoming less common, good for landfills.
but if the chicken juice leaks on the bag, I'm sure not using that again...some stuff is meant to be thrown out.
having a nice set of supermarket bags of your own in the car makes sense. I really try to hoard the plastic bags now
since I think they are going away.

would be nice if alternative to wood could be used to make all those paper bags.
how about corn, soybeans and glue? Smell like a big Dorito.
bet your dog would like it

have two pretty ripe Italian red peppers to give to neighbor across the street.
will take a while since she will give me an earful. Then off to take some pictures.
very nice day out, warming up for sure
