Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Ordered my NP pass, not that I'm too sure how much I'll use it. Already made one poor choice. Took wife I ordered online as the $10 fee would have been about same as driving there. Of course with barely a pause, she informed me that getting it online wouldn't include lunch. Oh well!!!!

Please with my grout work. UPS delivered the vent hoods today so those will get installed tomorrow.

Another great day.

Glad it's Friday!

Good morning all. An odd shower to come later in the day, but after that it should stay dry into Saturday, which is great because that is the day I face the EU mandated herbicide tests and the practical part needs to be done outside. Not looking forward to it, but at least for the machine mounted/towed part, I get to use my own tractor. I suppose I ought to spend some time today revising for the written part of the exam.

I think of a "fishing rod" has having a reel to hold extra line and a "fishing pole" having the line tied to the end, do you all use the same terminology ? Poles can be as simple as a branch cut straight from a tree, right up to fancy ultra lightweight carbon affairs which first started to became popular here in the 70's when they were mostly imported from France and Italy. I just checked on today's prices and saw many top of the range poles costing several thousand pounds !

Watching a local team in little league regional game, espn. Making homemade ice cream, been running 2 hrs now, not setting up.

the local team made it to the Little League finals! Greenville NC, just West of me, is headed to Williamsport. Lot of parents have taken a week off work to go to regional playoffs in Georgia; talk about a travel team...

May be showers this morning, not sure my wood chipping is going to get done. Never got to it yesterday, did a lot of mowing instead

 

[Buppies]

68 high of 77 maybe storms and showers maybe not

Ditto what Buppies said, except I am a degree warmer. Pushed the mower through some of the yard yesterday. Regular tasks for animals. Did my gas fill her ups and dump run. The lawn mowers are ready to go, as am I, but I don't think nature will cooperate these next two days. I feel at this point pretty good about the grass cutting, I am on top of it. Mind you, that post somewhere on TBN where the poor guy was overwhelmed, yeah, been there. I guess between nature and me this year, it was a detente. Odd but I don't recall the grasses going dormant like in years past. My pastures are still pretty green.

Anyway, hope everyone has a great day, and start to the w/e. Be safe.

67 headed to 83 and hopefully some rain later.

Mowed as the dew dried yesterday...same today.

Wife returns from a week in NC helping parents.

Eric, I think your definitions are good. I'm lazy and probably use rod and pole interchangeably. Although if I had bought a 4K pounds "pole" from Fosters, I think I would expect magic, so would call it a wand.

I was able to get great service, great pricing, and cheap shipping on my A/C parts from SupplyHouse.com I recommend them.

That's the same place I got my WiFi thermostat from. Great prices and service.

61F partly cloudy sky mid 80's for high.
As Roy said "Glad it's Friday!"

Finish trimming lawn last evening so after work today bounce on the rider give the lawn haircut.

Enjoy the day all.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 64° with rain this morning. Heading to 79° with chance of thunderstorms in afternoon. Got the lawn cut. Saw 4 Sandhill Cranes checking out back field. Did not have phone with me to take a picture. Friend arrived yesterday afternoon. Off to the local Art Fair today. In between rain drops.
RNG, I hear your complaints about tourists. They/we need a place to stay so we can enjoy these places too.
Eric, when I was fishing the Great Lakes I had about 30 fishing poles. Now I have to start calling them fishing ROD's. :confused3:
Good Morning All.
