[ronjhall]

Poured first cup of coffee. 47° with light rain this morning. Heading to 66° with cloudy skies. 1.47" rain since yesterday morning. Did get garden pond maintainace done before rain started at noon. Plan to get backyard grass cut if it dries up some today.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
pretty bird Ron
am up too early also
not enough rain yesterday, only about a quarter inch
looks like on and off showers for next few days, but we need a soaker in this area

Dennis, did the pipeline eminent domain your property and force the intrusion or did they try
the honey approach first?

not sure what I'll get done today but know I have to clean the house.
Thinking about hiring my old housecleaner to come do a spring cleaning.
crawling around baseboards not easy for me.

has anyone used Facebook marketplace and any concerns?
I don't have an account but a friend does and said good place to list my motorhome. ??

David, I read your volcano is active and shooting lava 300 feet in the air.
I'd love to see that, but for sure not up too close.
I bet a lot of photography drones get melted trying to take pictures

61 and foggy. Heading to 77 and probably rain.

LS, praying for Dona.

PJ, hope the ESWL blast job took care of it. Never had a stone but sounds painful.

Sodamo, sounds like Makana is a great addition to the family.

Hike and swim yesterday and then changed the oil in my wife's Highlander.

The Apple Magic Keyboard is not so magic anymore because the bluetooth function stopped working. Plugged it in to charging cable and is working again

Plan to dig out some more 4x6 boards for the barn project and continue on the wall

Morning all!
54 and raining. Rain in the forecast for the week.
fighting arthritis still since my last post. Now my neck has decided to join in. Gave up trying to heal by doing nothing. Back to doing what I can by taking my time.

My broken egg project won the contest! Bragging rights till the next contest!
Wife's temp tooth fell off again. She will be heading there early this morning! Permanent won't be ready till the 20th.

Got a few projects completed in the work shop.
Apple box 3x3.

Tried to make a hollow form out of sycamore but went to thin. Broke off on the entrance. I turned it into a dish.

Grabbed a piece of ash and got the hollow form that I wanted turned.

Need to head to the store and pick up some mulch to go around a few outside areas. Will stop at the place that leaves maple blanks out for people to take and see if there is any available. After that will probably head to the shop.
Hopefully a quiet week for us. Don't have any appointments on the calendar. Will try to squeeze a few walks in during lulls in the rain.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

doing what I can by taking my time.

and doing it beautifully Phil.
your woodworking is marvelous.

reminds me, maybe a good day to build a birdhouse with the cedar I bought.
my nice wooden bird feeders are just wrecked by the squirrels, wish I had built houses instead.
in particular I want one on the top of my new fence near the garage. already have bluebirds in house on corner of garage.
they fly in and out constantly. So the next feeder can't be too close. Thirty feet should do.

yesterday I got out the steel wool and some penetrating oil and scrubbed the iron/steel work surfaces of my band saw, vise, drill press, etc, which
had a winter layer of crud on them. Now oiled and shiny. Ready to make some sawdust. Weather should be in the sixties, perfect to open garage door and work inside/outside in that. Looks damp and foggy out now.

monday fifth of may, let's see what it will bring us

Good Morning
60° and foggy. High of 65 with good chance of rain throughout the day.

Yesterday started with cleaning the gutters, then some puttering. Met a friend at the auto repair shop to give him a ride back after dropping his truck off.
The shop is owned by another friend that was there working on his dune buggy. He was making a batch of mounting tabs by hand.

I convinced him that let me make them for him.

I cut out 45 of them in about 5 minutes, and spent another 5 or 10 making the drawing. The plasma cut hole was accurate enough for the rivnuts, so they were ready to go.

Puttered around some more before calling it a day.

Today starts with an 8am dermatologist appointment, then not sure what I’ll find to occupy me. Probably going to be too wet to mow.
Oddfellows meeting tonight.
