Ain't that the truth. Keeps your pants up also, when you forgot a belt. Used to braid it to make ropes for swings.

About only thing I still have left over from having horses is a container of baling twine I kept when opening up hay bales. I still haven't used it all, but keep it handy.

Good morning all. 48 this morning going to 73 with fog then sunny. Wife wants shelves in one side of the pantry even before I get the wall in the other side so I will be aiming at that. Lots to do in the week before mom gets here. Glad for the cooler weather.

Top. Prayers for your friend

Have a great day. Ed

53 going to 75...feels delightful outside. No rain for 22 days, and none forecast.

Randy, sorry about your friend. Glad to read the info Ron provided.

Ed, my wife got a good laugh at your blue tarp offer to RNG.

Took wife for a breakfast date yesterday, and then car shopping. New ones are so much more advanced than her 14 year old SUV...prices more advanced, too. Looked at the Highlander, RAV-4, Outback, and Mazda CX-9. Interesting how different dealers operate...at one, it was all about "let's see your driver's license" and drive exactly here and there...at a different dealer it was...what's you first name...no driver's license, just "which SUV you wanna drive...here are the keys...when you get back just let me know...or if you want to test drive it home tonight, that's okay, too." All vehicles very impressive.

65 degrees in cooler weather, only going up to high 70s today.
Cooler weather appreciated considering that I have five more big trees to plant this morning, and the holes have to be dug mostly by hand.
I did three yesterday and almost keeled over in the heat. Decided to pace myself, watered the ones I didn't get to and decided tomorrow/today was another day. I'll dig another three today. Two foot wide by almost two feet deep holes. Thank goodness for new high tech shovels that cut through roots much easier; I'm planting along an old established treeline with big trees, and of course, big roots. In hindsight, I should have put the PHD back on the tractor; this hand digging is for the birds. Well, younger birds than me...

My Ram truck goes into dealership today to sit over the weekend, and maybe the "hemi tick" will present itself to the mechanic. Intermittent, problem with many hemi engines, I think due to complicated valve train not getting oil. One thing if I hear a tap for a few seconds on startup.
Last time the truck sat for a week, it tapped for ten minutes. No....sooner or later something is going to fail.
I have told them three times about this already and of course it never happens while in shop nor does this condition apparently kick off error codes to track.

If I get a NPF, no problem found, next week, I will sell the truck and get a different brand. Sad, the engine is marvelous despite being thirsty, but that tap will never get better, only worse, and any mechanical part that taps for ten minutes straight is not going to last long. I think Chrysler is hiding something here; lots of mention of "hemi tap" online. I'm for sure not the only one.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 53° with light rain this morning. Heading to 67° with some cloudy skies. Need to get chipper and Trak-Vac prepped. Enough leaves on the ground to start picking them up. Have a very large pile of branches to run thru chipper. From look of trees around here it may not have its usual color. Still need to put backhoe on tractor. But I keep putting it off. Because it is too much of a job. It will get done eventually.
Electric company was at neighbor's place again. Were all set to put new pole in their front yard again. New crew original drawings. Caught them in time. Explained what was agreed on last visit. Got that straightened out. But project is delayed again because wires are too close to tree limbs. Owner of 14 acres that new pole is in on happend to be by to check out hunting. Electric company got approval to drive trucks to pole for the work.
Drew, Randy and RNG, I do not think there is anymore neurological problems than there used to be. Per percentage of population. But when I was much younger people average life expectancy was in the 60's. Today it's up in the 80's. Neurological care has not changed a lot in last 50 years like other diseases. Sure hope that changes in the future. The doctor we saw a Mayo Clinic was head of the ALS Clinic in AZ.
ED, if you ever run short giving tarps away. Send those in need my way. I have a whole pile of them that I stacked up. No blue ones though. They must have blown into someone else's yard.
Mostly, Colposcopy :thumbdown: I need a couple days of naps to recover from getting one.
Buckeye, glad you are slowly getting better. Therapy did a lot to keep me from having another back ache again.
Good Morning All.
