Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

productive morning on a beautiful day. Got a great number of zinnias and marigolds repotted, worked on them since before sunrise,
then went to spray the orchard.
As usual the sprayer had some issue. This time both plastic fittings on the end of the spray hose had given up, one I salvaged and one
I had to replace. Then it worked without issue, sprayed all the fruit and nut trees and ran out after the last tree. Then back to clean out sprayer and put pink antifreeze back in for next week.

I guess from the machinery running, ear is roaring away, loud as ever. Sure hope this is just a nuisance...

Lou- Not that I cut much anymore, but that is a great idea. Thanks.

David- You need another day of rest and chicken soup. Take care.

Jim- I am happy you are still amongst the living and thank you for your shared experience. "Learned helplessness and dependency" is common with any life changing medical/physical event.

L4N- Thanks for the pictures.

I don't get cabin fever. I am the ONLY driver in this house. So when the mail comes to the end of the road, guess who gets it? Me. When the DIL wants something from the store I am the one that gets to go get said item/s. Most weeks I am outside 3-4 hours/day, every day. Of course, when I am not outside or sleeping I am on the computer and conserving energy.

Confused about the wood cutting comments. I was sitting on my couch watching them work out my back window.

Here is the tree that caused the outage. My property follows this road to the right. Tree was in ROW, not on my property. It broke a pole also.

I grew up in South Mills, NC. Current population 454. When I lived there it was about 1200. Nearby Elizabeth City has around 18000.

I grew up in Sterling Township, Michigan. Mostly a farming community. Maybe 1000 population in the late 40's. Then GM, Ford and Chrysler started building plants there. By the time I moved from that side of town. Population in 1972 was close to 100k. Today it is almost 130k. 4th largest city in Michigan. Not much left of the little farming community I grew up in. 14 miles north of downtown Detroit. At one time it was known as the Rhubarb capital of the USA. Mostly grown in dark hothouses. Most of the area was settled by English and German immigrants.
Today it is the city of Sterling Heights.
