Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 56F @ 6:15AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 87F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

It's wonderful seeing all those nice veggies popping up out of the ground, Drew! Just marvelous!

Found a video recapping this past weekend's camping event:

The tribute during the last third is touching if you've been part of the community for a while, but not very entertaining...

More time tracking down tools and parts yesterday, but making progress. Chewed on the insurance agent as well; says adjuster "is working on the claim" now. :irked:

Got the tree remains moved and the side meadow mowed; it's another steep one but I learned that it's safer to move up hill if you slip because you've already traveled over that terrain and there are no surprises waiting. Didn't get any pruning done, though, but it's better in the cool of the morning anyway.

Wednesday already? Happy Hump Day!

Can you rake the rocks with landscape rake?

Maybe if I had one. Biggest problem is this is a mature alfalfa field and the growth is up 3-4" now. I don't want to tear up to many of the plants.

Running the harrow over it really brought up a lot of the rocks that had been pushed in with a land roller. I'm just trying to get rid of as many as possible then I'll roll it again and push them down. Repeat for the next few years and hopefully at some point there'll be very few.:thumbsup:

PJ,
I heard a woman attacked her husband with several of his guitars. When the judge asked " first offender?" she replied, no, first was a gibson, the second was a fender.

62°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 83° today. Had a brief shower pass through early this morning, and some potentially severe stuff expected overnight tonight.

No ticks seen yet this year. Last year was a bad year for ticks around here. Well, good for the ticks, bad for the rest of us. No rattlers around here. I did almost run over a young prairie kingsnake while mowing behind the barn Sunday. Stopped just in time to let him get away. Lots of frogs this year as well.

The Big Boy locomotive even made the local news here yesterday. One of the voices on the radio said of the 25 made, only eight still exist, and this one is the only one still functioning.

Is that your stool sample?

You got the address for Cologuard?

You got the address for Cologuard?

No, but a nice job on them.

Wife found a nice oldies station, yakety yak playing.

Just watched a crow harass a hawk twice his size, until the hawk finally left.
Beautiful morning, but a backdoor cold front is sliding south to muddle up the afternoon.

Drew, nice work you do for others.

A friend of mine that has a small chain of local pharmacies and related concerns, stopped by this morning. Hadn’t seen Fred since fall, he’s mostly retired now and he is moving from a 4000 sq ft house to a 1600. He asked me if I needed or wanted anything on a long list, I guess I better check it out, his old wood shop is bigger than my biggest garage, and he is getting rid of all that plus his scooter and motorcycle collection.
I would look good on a Cushman!

Have a good and blessed day folks.

Ron, happy birthday to your boy.

Buppies, down in your area now. Passing natural bridge. Hope all is well.

Drew, cabbage little small, but watch for bugs.

Good morning to all! Low of 45, only going up to 64 today with a 60% chance of showers / storms. Got a brief shower last evening, only 2/10ths in the gauge. Hoping for some more today. I haven't seen it this green here for about 10 years.

Today's agenda will involve fixing 2 gates in the backyard (about a 1 1/2 acre fenced corral). Shouldn't be hard, just the opposite side of the far away from Garage / shop where all the tools are.

BEF, that was a good one! At first I thought it was a real news story!

Another school shooting in Colorado, only 12 miles from the Columbine shootings. Can't believe that was 20 years ago already! What is in the water in Colorado? Something seriously wrong with today's kids....

Dealer emailed me about the delivery....supposed to have another shipping company willing to do it, but has to organize the "rest of the load" and rest of the trip, so no timeline given. The dealer said if it doesn't go out by tomorrow, they will personally deliver the tractor using their truck / trailer on Friday. At least they are stepping up to the plate... It would probably be cheaper for them to do it anyway.

RNG, that looked like a really cool gathering. Lots of folks with the same interest.

David, enjoy your time off from the project, it will give you a clear mind to solve the problem.

Drew, garden is looking good. Can't wait to hear the "potato total" this year.

Everyone have a great day!
