Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

geez, looked closely at second picture and realized I never shut the car hatch.
back out I go at least in clean clothes

I'd like a little honey garlic chicken right now too...

 

[daugen]

those of you who have rifles and target shoot,
my question is whether my neighbor's choice of targets would be considered normal.
I got a picture of him today shooting with his pellet gun, he shoots for hours.
am meeting with chief of police next week where I will ask the same question
in the context of a proven mentally ill person. He never shoots while the kids are at school, this isn't
something he does with his son at all.

The water volleyball pool group from the old real farm is diminishing quickly one had a stroke a month ago and last week another fell, hit her head, said she was OK but wasn't, had massive brain clot, she will NOT be OK even if she survives.
This neighborhood has water volleyball starting in May in the community heated pool that I am thinking of joining, will see, now that I have a new shoulder.

Since I can't be sure if the Farmall is an A, or modified B, I will abandon the signage project. It will just be a kids photo op.

I have often used a flashlight to search for something even when there is plenty of light...seems to make me more slowly focus on a spot rather than skimming over quickly.

Glad you found it.

I do not know what made me decide to use flashlight this morning. I will have to remember to do it next time I cannot find something. Even in daylight. Thanks.

great afternoon working around the trees but got the RTV stuck in mud.
It looked like grass until it sunk into the mud.
Hiked back to get the tractor and hooked it up and idled it back out

Good breakfast meeting this morning.
stopped by church to take another stab at cloning the Hard drive, out of space again. Decided to do another backup, and it was taking forever, so left with it running.
Only deck work was to carry the 10 trex pieces and lay on the deck for now.
Humid out.

Fridge is leaking water again. Thank goodness I documented what I did last time on GM, as I had forgotten. Will pull fridge out later and hope it's the same clogged line, was an easy fix last time.

Good Evening Billy,

Hope you get it fixed. That stove shape and window looks almost identical to our old wood burning stove, a Vermont Castings Resolute we bought in 1980...except ours was black cast iron.

Yes thanks Billy. It was raining heavily this morning so I dove into the Dovre stove. The glass needed to be pulled out and cleaned on the inside, so while I had it apart I pulled the log set out and lightly sanded the outside of the thermopile. I watched an online video of this type of setup and the guy suggested to clean the thermopile. Right now it seems to be working properly with the thermostat. . We will see what the kitchen temp is tomorrow morning. I’m also planning on purchasing a complete pilot assembly. Because sooner or later this one will die .

I also wish I had a meter up here so I could see how many milivolts I’m getting from the thermopile to the thermostat.

Looks like a newer version of a B-27 target, Drew. I have some of the originals left I'm sure. Not for sanctioned use anymore, but if I need a target to practice with I use them. They were the norm 30 years ago or more when certifying or shooting competition.

Doesn't necessarily mean he's gonna take out the town. But, you know your neighbor better than I do.

Good Evening,
A couple of pictures of work I got done on the deck this afternoon. I go home tomorrow but will be back on Sunday with Kathleen. So when I get back I will bring my jig saw with me because I left it in the garage

 

[Wagtail]

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.3C and it's presently 19.0C, fairly clear & calm.

Nothing really accomplished yesterday, as it turned out. I did receive notice of a couple of new 'sign sites'... at practically opposite ends (road wise) of the Shire.

So this arvo I'll toddle off to, at least, the sign by the wee town of Weldbourough.

That's about it, take care all.

Coffee has finished brewing. 31° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 54° with sun in AM. Could in PM. After finding new vacuum hose. Did repairs to old hose. Wind was bad. Made it hard to do much outside. Still have a basket of laundry to fold and put away. Will get new pond vacuum out and do some more cleanup on garden pond. Lot of leaves got blown into it yesterday.
Found a new place to perch.

Mostly, I think Sandhill cranes take turns sitting on the nest eggs this time of year.

Everyone stay safe well.

Good Morning All.

Each year he goes to his Johns Hopkins fraternity reunion and they take the train to Baltimore.

back seat. oops

Buppies, hope you have a good day.

 

[Buppies]

You as well Drew

 

[wngsprd]

70 going to 79, maybe rain later.

Scotty, deck progress looking good.

Sounds like your stepdaughter knows how to feed a hungry man, Mostly.

Caught a blacksnake under the house and took him out to the field on the edge of where I had just bush hogged. Went back in 15 minutes and it had already traveled 50 yards into the wind and pulled a baby rabbit out of its nest. Wife said the pix I sent made her sad. She is at son's baby sitting.

 

[Thomas]
