Good morning!!!!

[jbrumberg]

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!

A cloudy 36ºF for today’s low; a brief shot of sunshine and now a cloudy 50ºF for today’s high temperature. I may see some measurable snow tonight (~1”) with this pending Springtime nor’easter. This morning we took Wifey’s Forester to the body shop to repair the parking lot damage it sustained; ate lunch out; and picked up some 6 packs of tomatoes and herbs at a garden center/greenhouse on our return home.

David- Good Luck.

Kyle- I hope your doctor visit has no surprises.

“…. Unfortunately, most of these fine, upstanding citizens are simply disarmed and "moved along”- RNG. This unfortunately is one of the unintended consequences of deinstitutionalization: There are rarely “vacancies” in the local hospitals’ small, secure psych units and the jails are full. I like that C232

RonJH- That cut reads “nasty.” I hope it stays uninfected and heals quickly. There was a thread in TBN a month or so ago about “Israeli Bandages.” OTC compression bandages may be a decent addition to the medical kit. Thanks for that link. I do not like cutting HDPE; carbon fiber even more so.

Hope that everyone’s Monday is manageable.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Gray 2 took off on adventure we thought. Closer inspection of the hedges showed 2 cat eyes looking back.View attachment 604544

Sure appreciate all the feedback on my pipe project. I read them all and rethink.
I also suspect a turn upwards even through that would not be a logical conclusion as I watched it go in, but then who knows where it went once out of sight. There is indeed a significant piece of concrete below the edge of drive slab that could be suspect but uphill from where I expected exit.
Here is a better pic of exit area if blown up.


Area seems pretty solid clay.

Have feelers out to friends re metal detector, but no positive responses yet. Haven’t found a rental in town.

10” may be good enough.

Think, David, think

Good that Junior has a job.

Your single axle dumpy truck probably had a 23,000 lb axle in it. They are about as useless as teats on a boar.
I had the same axle in a fuel truck, yup I busted it.
When getting dragged on a chain, the onus is on the one being dragged to keep the chain tight.

That was almost 40 yrs ago, on a ford. They had lots of those dump trucks, and used the heck out of them. Dont recall any others ever breaking, but i was only there 3 or 4 summers.

Kyle, I've heard several guesses at why bears attack the game cameras - because they don't like the red LED IR flash at night, or they smell food residue left on the cams by human hands, or just like the smell of plastic, or just plain curious. But lots of cams get attacked.

came in from mowing and watering, sky is getting an ugly charcoal grey, radar shows a nasty small storm coming this way, severe thunderstorm alert up.
Uh, this isn't my order of rain please. I ordered an all night soft soaker, not a gully washer
Was going out to pick some collards, will wait until later now.
Looks like weather is cooling off for next few days

Officially home from our trip. Had a good homemade breakfast at the inlaws this morning. FIL gets out of rehab tomorrow, looked much better last night.

49° and rainy. Feeling sick in the stomach again today. Had same thing yesterday but felt better later on.

Buppies, thought of you as i passed up through your way last night.

Grass is tall, but got 2 more mower operators now.

Oldest sons room has gotten small with all his stuff. There is small unfinished room next to it, that i had thoughts of an upstairs laundry. Maybe i should use the space and make his room larger.. Sounds like work though...

Eyes and ears. Put some catnip under the hedge.
