Good morning!!!!

Good morning
It’s 66° with a high just over 80 and clear sky. Ground is dry as a bone. Neighbor was discing a field, the clouds of dust just filled the air.

I did get WiFi in the old folks home, I added a node to the existing ASUS ZenAi mesh, all of the nodes use a wired backhaul so it’s got great bandwidth every where. It was a bit of a challenge until I realized that the new unit had older firmware than the existing ones, probably because I keep them updated.

Son went to the range to sight in the Ruger .308 he won in a raffle. When Ken or Drew comment on the deer population around here, they are not exaggerating. This was the picture my son took through his scope at the range.

He had to wait for it to clear the range. I really don’t think deer hunting is much of a sport in this area.

I puttered around waiting for the drywall finishers, who finally did show up, fixed the camera in the barn, the POE switch in the barn died, so I bypassed it, powering it from the switch in the shop. It’s at a least a 300’ run, but it seems to work fine.

Music was fun last night, grandson joined us for a while, but he has an earlier bed time than us.

Good Morning,
Vt, 53 to start going to 76 ! We are heading out to Saratoga later this morning, they like going to the track and betting on the horses ! Maybe I will get lucky and pay for the Toro ZT I just bought !

Phil, nice turnings as usual! I did go into my shop yesterday and started to do a little layout work on the rear legs but didn’t get very far before Kathleen needed me for something!

Hope all have a good day !

As close as I live to Saratoga I avoid it during track season, used to try and go over once during the season, but haven't even done that the last several years. I actually prefer the trotter track. And then this year they are going to have Farm Aid at the SPAC center, so another time I'll avoid getting anywhere close to Saratoga.

good morning, 66 going to 83 partly cloudy but mostly sunny day

Not sure what to get into today. Will depend on what wife would like to do

Considering hiring a tree company with a bucket truck to make a sweep through the driveway to get the high up overhanging branches that can be a safety issue

Did set up the helmet with the blue tooth and mike and tested it out. Received phone calls just fine and stream music from the iPhone. Still need to test out the FM radio. It is surprisingly very comfortable. Can also adjust for ambient noise levels. Need to test how that works

Morning all, 72 going to 85 and sunny.

Worked late yesterday, but did get some time to go with wife and dog to town.
Walked around, visited son at work and then sat on chairs by the river for a while.

Before that some watering and pool cleanup, so many leaves...

Phil - adding our son to insurance doubled it....amazing wood work, you really know how to use the grain to get some great looks.

Childhood neighbor just got back from Ireland tour with a stop over in Paris. Looks like she covered a lot of areas and had fun. Seems a lot of people are doing that trip this year.
An old high school buddy is off to Iceland, it was 44 when he landed, in the afternoon.

Drew - hope this is not the same Dentist I am going to to fix my broken tooth.....

So Xray shows the bones in my arm are fine. When I pointed to where the pain was, the Dr. noted that is right where the screw head sits.
Bone is calcified from where it broke, so I think it's pushing the screw head into my muscle. It hurts most of the time. Found my original Dr. from 15 years ago and will make appointment on Monday.

We saw at least 5 bucks on the road last night, and 3 on our property. hmmm, must be that time of year.

I think a new sport of grabbing a deer and hog tying it would work around here.

Be well,

Good morning! Low of 57°, going up to 87°, 20% chance of t-storms. Tomorrow the temp drops to low 80's then upper 70's next week! Finally getting near 'normal'. Rain chances go up too, 70% on Sunday.

Drew, sorry to hear about the tooth. Hopefully it will get taken care of without too much trouble. Glad you got the soft start installed.

Don, glad you got some rain and cooler temps. It's been another strange monsoon season here.

Phil, another nice batch of turnings! Sorry to hear about the knee pain.... I can definitely relate!

Scott, have you used the z-turn yet?

I can't put it off any longer.... have to finish taking the trimmer for a walk. After that, not sure.

Everyone have a great day!

I was thinking about what time I usually go to bed as I typed that. But mine isn’t mandatory…….

David, hope the storm this weekend is not too bad.

got trans/hydraulic oil changed in Gravely rider, didn't get too much oil on the floor.
Went to put on new filter and wrong part, so I drained the old one, refilled it with clean oil, and
reinstalled it. Will pick up correct filter at some point, this oil was pretty clean when I drained it.

took some bufferin for aching jaw and going to lie down
gave myself my Wegovy shot, now three pounds lighter in third week. Hope it continues.
