Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 63 going to 73 and partly cloudy.
Spent a few hours with the brush cutter in the back area taking down some brush where two big Ash trees finally shed their largest branches. Had to wait since I didn't want to get slammed by falling tree parts. Will need to get back there in the winter and move out all the fallen wood.

Started rebuilding the fire pit and later on took a trip to get some apples.

So dry I lost some more ground cover plants, need to keep watering different areas each day.

Nice Mazes PopGadget. House is looking great.

Be well,
Solebury orchards, where they make the donuts and cider

Next area to clean up. Now is almost done.

as the dead ash slowly comes crumbling down.

Good morning! 60s to 90s cloudless skies.
I painted one level of the fountain but forgot to read the instructions of 7 days of dry time. looking at the forecast I should be OK.

My driveway cam caught the turkey chasing the truck into the garage.

PT soon.

Good Morning to All who celebrate! 62 heading to 69 with sun here, some rain last night but not enough to wash the truck off.

Mowing all caught up, branches all cleaned up with the grapple. When I reached for the first one, the grapple decided it no longer wanted to be attached to the SSQA mount, a few minutes of sweating and cursing later with the help of my kindly next-door neighbor got it back where it should be. No damage but lesson learned, make sure the levers are HARD down.

Work is picking up, everyone wants to get the projects they've put off done before they stand tall before The Man (Budget meetings) to show they've done something. sigh.

The goals for this week are to pull the log splitter out from its hole and prep it for production. Need to reach out to my logging team (My buddy and his brother) to see if they're free this weekend. I have a few requests for some firewood that need to be resolved. Also need to get the snow-pusher set up to where the steel parts won't contact the new sealcoat or else I'll hear about it. Rather do that now when it's in the sixties and sunny than 28 and dumping snow.

Hope everyone has a good week! Enjoy the day y'all!

pretty sure I won't be going out of my way to see one of the major
attractions of quanah texas. The Big Sneaker

If you make it up to Hutchinson, KS you can see the world's largest ball of twine. Ask me how I know.

Everyone have a great day !!!

69°F and 0 rain.

2 out of 3 yesterday. Football and grilled pork. The mower lost out to energy conservation. No complaints registered so will try again today.

Happy Hour via zoom today. A chance to maybe catch up with some of the off island contingent.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning! Low of 43°, high today supposed to be 78°. Sunny.

Drew, sorry you couldn't get your steak dinner. I bet you can get a good recommendation in the area.

Wng, glad you got to go hiking with Della. Haven't seen the hummingbirds here since last Friday. The regular birds have decreased in numbers too, only filling the feeders about once a week now.

Ken, it still looks like a lot of clearing/ cleanup. Definitely a good idea to wait for that ash tree to stop flinging stuff at you!

Planters, drip irrigation, and mulch all done. Will probably spread some more mulch later in the week. The GS will be on fall break, so no runs down to the university after tomorrow. It will be a nice break from driving.

Dona's back went out. She felt something 'pop', now has bad sciatica nerve pain. Being stubborn as usual, won't get checked out. She has dealt with it before, just not as bad as this time.

So, been trying to take on the domestic aspect too...

Everyone have a great start to the week!

a very pleasant drive to Gainsville TX this morning and a successful trip to walmart.
Came down the back road to this campground at the top of Lake Ray Roberts.
another gravel parking lot but this is nicer.
Will get a chance to get ebike out tomorrow and check out the water nearby, trails lead to it.

going to take a long hot shower and then a nap.
Will then call Mostly and see what he is doing.

 

[daugen]

no nap but shower was wonderful
checked in with friend in Fort Meyers FL, they are going to get a hosing; looks like
worse for Tampa

not a good design for this site. They put the septic connection way too far to one end.
I parked, got everything set up and even with two hoses would not fit.
Undo everything and back up five feet, to a much less level part of spot.
That worked, though it meant bringing out the blocks for the rams.
my awning is just about in the road; thinking I might go bring that in a little.

maybe then a nap

Afternoon,
New propane tank set, piped up and in service; I'll put a couple more pictures in todays seat time,

 

[buckeyefarmer]

good afternoon.
Bad night, couldn't sleep. sat in chair most of night, finally fell asleep when it was getting light out. Late start to the day after that.

Unplanned costco run, they had water and TP this time.

Agent contacted me regarding VA land, neighbors did come up on their offer a little, so we will probably accept it and sell. Am investigating tax implications. owned over a year, so LTCG tax at 15% probably. Then need to investigate any state taxes.
Maybe I can talk wife into a cabin on the farm in Ohio.... I wish. But it's 1 1/2 more hours away than VA.

Did buy some 2x6s to build better steps for dad's porch. Right now using concrete blocks as steps, with some on boards that wobble a bit.

Lou, propane tank close to the house.

Drew, glad more safe travel.

PopG, looking good, when is move in date?

Mostly and Drew, when is the bicycle race?

found another dead tree fell down along me treeline.

Grass growing very fast.
