42F partly clear sky 10 mph winds low 50's for high,today looks to be the best day for the week.
Lots of limbs/branches to clean up after work yesterday,other than that no water tree damage.
Hope to blow some leaves after work even its an hours worth.

Happy Boo day all enjoy the day.

This black and white 1940's "public information" film is one I always find fascinating to watch. Hedging (1942) - YouTube I have the same tools but unfortunately not his skill - nor a landgirl helper.

Thank you, Eric. Seems like the most important ingredient to hedge laying is a good strong back and a pair of well muscled arms! If you don't already have them, you either soon will or a conventional fence may be the answer?:laughing:

I almost forgot a Happy Halloween! Watch out for ghosts and goblins this afternoon and evening

Coffee is done brewing. 37° with rain/snow mix this morning. Heading to 41° with some rain. Got new prescription for eyeglasses yesterday. Took most of the day for dilation to go away. Got a couple of shop projects for today. First I need to get heater in shop turned on. Need to make a lock for tailstock on lathe. Threads wore out on old one.
Stuck out here in the country, 2 1/2 miles from Walmart. We will celebrate Halloween with no Trick or Treaters. Have a Happy Halloween.
Don, must be Whipper has us seen at your place enough that she thinks we belong there. Besides she likes them high quality Milk Bones. The little over 3' square thermopane window I had replaced a couple weeks ago cost $315. Glad I have a window rider on my policy.
Eric, a chainsaw and few other tools will take care of that hedge problem. When cleaning up fence I had something similar. Chipper finished the job. When I visited England in late 70's it was a joy to drive along country roads with hedges lining both sides. Better than the miles of wire fence we have here. But way to much work for me.
Roy, hope truck repairs are quick.
PJ, nice comfortable looking home.
Farmeratheart, :welcome:
Good Morning All
Forgot ED. Glad inspection went well.

I think that's common with us that live more that 100' apart.

38 and clear going to 63.

Don, hope you and Whipper are feeling better. You, too, Randy.

Hope everyone gets treats, not tricks.

Happy Halloween, may everything today be a treat for you all.
Lot of sugared up kids running around...

am sore from bending over a gazillion times yesterday. Which of course means the landscaper helper calls after I was done saying he'd be here today.
And when he is here, I need him for all kinds of "can't do this by myself" jobs, so today will be busy. First starting off by powerwashing the rv, gently, and then winterizing my good
powerwasher. And then I'm putting my small phd on the back of the little Massey and I'm going to dig holes for a few final border trees. The good news is I cleaned out all the nasty
briars along the treeline; the bad news is I can now see through the tree line and vice versa. Am looking for evergreens and large hosta.

This was my second load of storm cleanup junk in a few days. In between I painted the rear of the tractor, which thankfully came out fine. But the front, oh the front is so ugly
in its wrinkled surface. So tomorrow, when it's supposed to be 75 and sunny, yeah, I'm going to paint the front again now to match the rear paint. Hopefully the oem paint will happily go over the Rustoleum paint I had underneath. Which clearly did not go happily at all. And I will clean up all my red overspray. Some of it isn't likely to come off so I need to do some touchup.
I did manage to get quite a bit off using a rag and the no smell gentle version of paint thinner. But some of the old porous plastic surface sucked up that red paint like a thirsty man in a desert,
and isn't giving it back up.

these pics are backwards in time

30°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 46° today. Expecting near 70 by the end of the week.

Wife took our latest foster dog, a larger-than-normal Australian Shepherd named Max, to the airport in Chesterfield, MO early this morning to fly him to his new home in Bozeman, MT. She just sent me a text saying she had to turn around and go get him again, as the pilot was apparently having some mechanical issues, and never made it out of the hanger. Hope that gets resolved quickly, as the schedule for transfers on this trip is a bit tight.

That new MF looks nice, Drew.
