Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

The early Thursday morning breathing problems call we went out on did not come out as well. Once you go down in a county without a hospital your chances of survival go down.
Glad you are feeling better.

That’s the down side of deeper country living, though I love it.

Good morning all. The weather is playing mind games this morning, I had it all planned out for the predicted dry day and then was woken by the rain on the roof. The clouds offer little clue about what is coming next, they have a will-it-wont-it look about them that almost guarantees whatever I do now will have been the wrong decision by the end of the day. :confused3:


At least I managed to pump a fair amount of water into the underground water tank yesterday. The ground up by the little pond was just firm enough to get the generator near enough without the Iseki sinking up to it's axles. For this first fill I was using a Tsurumi LB 480 water pump, which was filling it nicely at a rate of about 40 gal/minute until the generator started to cough after a couple of hours - I hadn't put in enough petrol. If a ewe with twin lambs drinks 1.5 gallons per day on a hot day and the field has 30 ewes, someone good at both maths and weather forecasting will be able to tell me what date I need to think of refilling again.

Thanks for the info on the zero turns, I can understand the appeal of joystick controls a little better now, although having said that, I don't find mowing the lawn with a wheel steered machine hard work at all - my wife does it !

That sounds a great day out riding Mostly, I bet sleep came very quickly last night.

Are these Imperial gallons?

Happy anniversary Bird and wifey.

Prayers for Randy, Rip and wifey, and those who need them.

I was in Bird's area last night. Went to American Flat track races at Texas Motor Speedway's dirt track. The track was in sorry condition for motorcycles. Too many ruts down low, and too dished to provide a wide "groove". But we had a good time. Got home at 2 am this morning. Tired today. Absolute couch potato.

So many tasks that will have to wait...

Have a blessed day all. One day at a time.

Kyle, I've driven by the Texas Motor Speedway many, many times, including this afternoon when we went to our daughter's to visit, but I've never been to any of the races there.

Put up both my motion sensor lights.
The direct wire replaced the next to the door lantern style which quit working, just flickered was even with new bulb. While perhaps not stylish the light definitely seems brighter.

2nd is a solar version and at the entrance to my Tractor shed. Mounted just over the primary door and solar panel moved to edge of the roof. Not as bright as the direct wire but plenty bright.

Both may need adjustment after dark.

As got the Little Giant Megamax ladder on sale at Costco yesterday. I have 2 no name brand that I’ve had for years, both being very helpful when we built the house. While still functional they are in somewhat rough shape, but suitable for exterior use. The locking mechanisms stick and get bathed in WD40 regularly. The new one will be my inside ladder. It got it’s baptism today when used to clean windows and screens that are on the table end of kitchen about 13’ from floor.

Do much more on my iPad then my laptop anymore, even more than the iPhone. When I find my finger tips to be problematic I’ve found the Apple Pencil to be great.

The IPad works well for me as well. Have not used pc in several years

Been watching Peter Gunn I really do not remember that show but the music is to die for

Pretty cool and breezy today, should warm up now though.

I remember Peter Gunn from around the early 60’s.

Long day. I delivered the sermon at worship this morning. Then went to a memorial service for a friend who died from bladder cancer (my age). Service was at a church we attended in 1980s before moving away, so still a few friends there to catch up with. Then hr back to our pm service. Longest I've worn a suit in a long time.

Good evening all. 56F this morning clear, calm. Wind picked during day gusts 15+ in afternoon, sky stayed clear and high 84F. Chapel this morning, made breakfast putter till Stepdaughter left, put wife's new pedal toe clips on her bike. very low keyed day.

Rick not so good at fund raising, and have scheduling conflict with our VFD next event at Frisco.

LS I do get restless, but rarely have trouble sleeping.

Ron most of the hills are away from Muenster, drive home on 82 is very flat. When you are 3 or 4 miles north or south, differnet story
