Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

We had a party line until I was a Jr or Sr in HS.

I can remember being enamored of many thing at both grandparents houses growing up, stuff inside the house and other stuff somewhat discarded and relegated to an out building. I particularly remember my granddad’s brother, Uncle Harry, always had a growing collection of old tools. Often I would be gifted with one, old hatchet, a saw, maybe something I didn’t even know what it was. Of course, none were deemed items of value and since disappeared along the way. My granddad had been a blacksmith and I suspect many of those odd pieces of metal were really tools. Even some of the kitchen items that you never see anymore but we just took for granted. If we only knew....

The tiny screw that tightens the clamp just wouldn't reach the hole it's supposed to thread into.

RNG, after what you paid for those bearings before, dealer must have thought you'd already been screwed enough. :laughing:

Good morning. I'm up early to try and get an extra hour or two of cool air into the house. This hot weather is really dominating everything.

I've had plenty of exercise these last few days from walking around with a knapsack sprayer. Only trouble is the many hundreds of squirts at individual weeds now has my right forearm playing up, it doesn't even want to hold my hand above a keyboard. Ron, I could do with some lessons on what to do while arm heals.

Kyle, I take a few pictures occasionally but I've never kept a journal. What do you record in yours ?
I suppose yesterday I would have written down that our 9 month old grandson has just learned how to crawl. The week before I could have noted that his 8 year old brother learned how to sulk. Ok, that may be fun.

Good morning all, 65 going to 87 with a 30% chance of T-storms. Need to mow the grass today, it is over long and will likely make a mess in places but :confused3: that is life. Nothing else planed.

Don, your pic of the phone made me remember the thing I played with when I was a child. The gen with the crank hooked to it. We had one with no phone and I never knew what it was. Where we lived the phone co. would not put in a line because we were so isolated. My dad was the county republican party chairman and one of the big wigs made a call and we got a phone that week. It was about 1963 or 64. We had a party line with 3 other people.

Have a great day, prayers sent. Ed

70 going to 92.

Cool phones. Never used one like that.

LS, very nice lightning pix.

Son and GF brought their dogs for a visit...little 10 week old Brittany was a blast. Got hit by a t-storm while I was grilling chicken and squash. My wife tried out a new dish with the chicken that was dee-lish.

63F clear sky mid 90's for high...3 H's have return.

Mow the lawn yesterday and that was about it.
Last evening lucky enough to watch small spike deer drink from the over flowing well...think he might have gotten brain freeze of sort couple times. :laughing:
E muffin feed little critters slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

70 outside this AM. Heading into the 90's. Could use the heat and not the humidity to dry things up. Managed to work the run in and the grasses yesterday for a little. Unfortunate I have a few "low" spots, due to the rain, the grass has completely died off. I will see about moving some dirt around to solve that. I hope to start the front "lawn" today, when it dries from the humidity. That should be around 3PM.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 72° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 87° with thunderstorm in afternoon. Got lawn cut yesterday. Was inside by noon. But did run down to local vegetable market to get a couple ears of fresh corn. Cooked on grill. Very good. Got some garden pond items cleaned up and ready to put on EBAY for sale. Not much planned for today. Ortho Dr appointment in afternoon.

LS like the lighting pictures.

Don, nice old phone. While we never had one like that. Family we visited in the country had one into the 60's. My mother worked for Bell Telephone. So we always had the latest phones. But were on a party line. When we moved to our place in 72 we had a party line until almost 1980. Now we do not have a wired phone at all.

Eric, when my arm is in real pain I do a exercise that PT taught me. Lay or stand on a flat surface. Then tuck your chin in toward chest without moving your head off the flat surface. Not sure your pain will go away. But ti works for me. I have some neck nerve problems that go down into my arm. Helps with shoulder pain also. Almost forgot. Give it a rest.

Kyle, hope you get your equipment repairs straighten out. I remember your JD tractor from a visit we made to your place. It looked so clean and green.

Good Morning All.
