53F and cloudy @ 00:15 ...

Just woke up a little bit ago ... enjoying some coffee while I try and wake up ...

Fell asleep earlier, right after dinner/breakfast/whatever meal it was ... never made it up to the shop ...

Finally had to change out the tank of shielding gas last night ... will have to return the empty in the morning.

Sodamo,

After the big one I took some statin or another for about two weeks or so ... but the side effects were so bad that I chucked the rest of the 'script in the trash. Bad, bad stuff IMHO ... good on you for getting off them. Plenty of natural remedies (garlic ?) to lower one's cholesterol that are not dangerous to be fooling around with bad drugs.

59 degrees going up to 81, a nice repeat of yesterday.
was headed out to get the mail last night when I heard this loud hammering and banging at the end of the lane.
First I thought it was the farmer across the way fixing something but when I got closer, ahhh, the pavers have arrived.
And the poor driver had a new fancy truck with hydraulic wheels that moved forward and back, really neat to watch, but some pin was stuck and he couldn't get something loose. So he was banging away, and finally got it loose, somewhat frazzled, muttering to himself about having to figure out the trailer better. Three pieces of equipment came off, a baby Cat grader, a roller and a Bobcat mini excavator.
Yes I'll take pics later.

Who knows maybe the show will begin this morning. Actually I think they will be bringing in the "fines" today and doing the final leveling for paving, perhaps tomorrow. They said I could drive on it the next day; think I'll keep the four ton Ram off it for the weekend. Interesting that he said it was the cool nights that hardened the pavement; so it should be fine the next day. I have very little experience with macadam; wish I had Buppies here...
Paving contractor out of Fountain NC, yup, like the boat, but fountain boats is here in Washington/Chocowinity; the town is further West.
I'll have to ask if Reggie came from that town.

btw, I stopped taking my cholesterol medicine, a Lipitor generic, during the move due to horrible muscle cramps; so bad in the middle of the night I'd have to get in the shower and run hot water on me to get things to loosen up. Not fun at all. Am going to watch my numbers now that I'm off; they had dropped from mid 200's to mid 100's total, or pretty good. All the deep fried food around these parts doesn't help, but as we ALL know, I'm the one who puts it in my mouth...thinking of Larro and all that healthy food he eats. We are what we eat.

Just started coffee brewing. 57° with fog this morning. Heading to 73° when fog clears, then sunshine. Bought 2 pins for 3 PH sway bars at Kubota dealer. $32 for 2 new ones. Wish I would stop losing these specialty pins. Back to working on apple tree. Would have finished it yesterday. But had 2 visitors that ate up most of my time discussing nothing. :thumbsup: Back at it today.
Good Morning All.

 

[Buppies]

56 this morning with fog high of 80 later before strong cold front comes thru. Showers and storms tomorrow then lows possibly in 30s Saturday night. Drew driveway sounds like it's coming along nicely, any questions that you have only a phone call away. One more day of work then it's the weekend. Good Morning

 

[Thomas]

55F cloudy sun will appear afternoon stars shinning tonight,upper 60's for high temp.
Flocks of geese honking and testing there wings for long flight coming up.

Enjoy the day all.

Well, guess I'm certified with strong heart and good circulation. . . . Go back in Apr for followup EKG. Guess they just love it when you have insurances. David /QUOTE]

Congratulations David, It's always great news when the cardiologist can't find evidence of advanced heart disease to suggest a stent or bypass.

Wow! 79˚ before sunrise - Summers back. A cool front is heading this way and should be here by midnight, Yea! Might try to get the fall garden seeds in the ground and cover the pool.

Buppies, have you decided on a grapple? The thing I really like about my "The Rake Shop" grapple is the curvature of the bottom tines. The depth of the rake push can then be adjusted also by the tilt so you don't go too deep and get hung up but still get a good raking with each pass. If you don't have a cross bar as a depth guide (but you still need the depth) you need the curvature.

64 and foggy now, after some showers about an hour ago. Should clear off and get to 76.

Pulled up the last tomato plants and cages yesterday, and tilled the garden using the tractor...harder than usual, since there are still some pepper plants, broccoli, collard, tomatillos, and flowers. I have to till the rest by hand (Mantis) to get around those remaining plants.

The crimson clover is sprouting nicely for a cover crop in a couple of fields...these showers and fog help.

Looking forward to those driveway pix.
