Good morning!!!!

Think I'll keep her as long as I can.

words of a very wise man :thumbsup:

Looks like a wonderful creative tool to use in smaller spaces, great job of shifting gears figuratively Ed.
It's good to see you and Don doing so well. Don't think I'm too many years off from doing the same thing.
Except I'd be building birdhouses in a little wood shop.

It's almost like a painter getting a new set of oils to work with. Ed gets to start making all kinds of cool stuff at home, and there's a thread here
for that, Shop Time. Lot of talent in that thread, I'm really out of my league there. So I watch and drool at the neat machinery.
Plus just learning about new tools is interesting.
Once I stop learning, I'll probably take up watching tv again.

Poured first cup of coffee. 62° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72° with some rain in afternoon. Got most of my shopping done yesterday. Trip to Menards this morning. Garden pond maintenance. Then cleanup in yard from rain/winds last few days. Some NASCAR in afternoon. With over 1" of rain in the last week grass has turned from brown to green.

68 and sunny going to 91. Very quiet outside this morning...very nice.

Ron, that's a real pretty place. My grass is green, too, and growing so fast you can watch it...my yard has lots of clover in it, and glad to report the honey bees are about.

Phobes have nested again in the same nest...5 more eggs.

Road closed nearby, river washing over the bridge...makes for a very long detour for folks living over on that road.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of roasting my own coffee, so I'm planning a special Wingspread Blend-o-licious roast. It will be roast #613.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Thanks for all the praises! I try not to be a "proud parent" but do love this place. It's going to be harder to go back out on the road for my job in a couple of weeks.

Got all the doors cut and rehung in the cottage and a washing machine drain installed in that garage. Smoke detectors replaced.

Have to start working on the internet thing now. The xfinity rep installed a XB6 cable modem which turns out to be on a bad modem list.
The house is 69 ft long interior 2 story's and the cottage is 60 ft away and the signal wasn't very good where the tech located it on one end of the house. I moved it to the central area and seems to be better but not impressed yet. Anybody recommend a good router/modem? And a broad view of setting up full coverage?

Enjoy the day all.

I got my own Xfinity 3.1 modem and a high end Tri-band router from Netgear. Works great and easy setup. I have 2 Netgear extenders. One in shop and other in barn. Not as fast as from router. But works good for iPhone stuff.
I looked, my Model router is R8500. Current model is R9000.

Good morning! 76˚ heading to 90s windy.
Drew you need to drink more water during the day if you are having leg cramps at night. Farming is a battle, you fight insects, wild critters, weather, dust and dehydration - and none can be fought with a tractor. But the tractor is excellent for reshaping the land and vegetation control.
I took a walk in the community garden yesterday to see how it's operated. Looks OK it all organic with a water spigot at each bed. Lots of veggies growing and one lady even gave me a handful of tomatoes. All the equipment used in the gardens is in a large building and is used by everyone. One downside is that it is on the other side of the neighborhood 6 miles away but it would make a good bike ride or golf cart ride. (Can you go 12 miles on a charge?). Most people have a timer on their drip irrigation so they can go on vacation. I think there is a waiting list to get a 20' bed I'll have to send out an e-mail today.

Got the new locks in - coded push button or key.
While I was weed eating the gate Whipper escaped yesterday. She just ran to the front and then went to my wife who caught her and I carried her back to prison.

Ellen’s son in law had a birthday party yesterday, I missed the off shore race boats in OC, to attend, I came out on the short end! LOL
I’m sitting in the church hall now at someone’s 50th anniversary whom I don’t know.
Prayers for all, have a great day, hot and humid here.
