Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Called my dad, he was bush hogging and got yelliw jackets. Stung both ears, in hand thru gloves. He said one glove was covered in bees. He used other hand to kill a bunch.
He's 95, doing this far from house all alone. He won't tell anyone hes going out. Sigh...

A friend stopped by and is mowing now.

Ive been outside for an hr. 89° but nice breeze in shade.

Wife on way back home, going thru nashville now.View attachment 617452

Practice run for the great escape?

Seriously, Hope your dad is OK. Wow, 95 and still shredding. You've reminded me. I have an underground nest of bees I need to go spray.

Been good work day outside both BIG white birch trees are block up brush etc. clean up shower shave felt good.
Mrs. taking me to Weathervane seafood for dinner :dance1: later this evening watch some NASCAR with bowl French vanilla ice cream in which I am sure i'll have to share with both kittens.

Off in distance thunder growling call for some quick heavy down pours at time....hmmm.

Enjoy the evening all.

Is that same Weathervane as in Kittery Maine? Was my goto Lobster choice for years whenever I was in the area.

Good evening all. 80F for the start, clear, calm wind. South wind became moderate quickly, somewhat gusty, sky got a few clouds, and high temp was 99F HI 109. Bike ride this morning, and that was it. Spent the rest of the day rehydrating and 2 hour nap.
Buckeye, good to hear more progress. Also good to hear wife is having safe trip.
Ron good to hear you have family support in Betty's care.
Drew glad your dinner party turned out, after all your work.
Thomas good luck with Boo Boo
prayers for all.

This afternoon you might say we had some bonding time.
I was cutting 2 BIG white birch trees and my 2 little helpers fox pups were close by watching with interest,all once they go bounding into woods :confused3: as I putting chainsaw in bucket something caught my eye and there stood Boo Boo about 20 yards or so staring at me,with sharp voice light yell said get or I'll kick your @ss he look at me with motionless stare as if to say come down here fat boy lets get it on,min or so later he just walk off....told Mrs. all she said was can't you 2 get along. :confused2:.

The missus is right, but you knew that already. You an' Boo Boo are both used to getting your own way, both being the cock of the walk. But you're the one with the chainsaw, seems it would have been an opportune time to introduce BB to how much noise it makes, with no downside if he decided to see how sharp you keep your chain...

Thanks, it is dry and the brown condition of the weeds only stress your statement BUT the Fire Department only want to see it cut nothing else.
I will hold off the cutting, as you suggested, I think there is more sense in it than than SoCal Fire Department.

If I understand you right, the fire department is putting pressure on you to cut your field, even though it's a tinderbox? Perhaps you could share your concern with them that you could start a fire that would take out the whole neighborhood, and suggest that maybe they'd like to station a pumper or two nearby when you attempt to comply with their directive. That way you can both be seen as doing your best to keep everyone happy, and having done your due diligence, minimize the outcome if things take a turn for the worst. :confused2:

Nothing like a dumb lump of steel to make you feel stupid, huh?

Same thing happened to me with a good working blade after I'd walked, metal detected, and magnetic swept the exact location where I found it, laying in the middle of the dirt path where it was almost impossible to miss. The ONLY explanation is that it had slipped into another dimension, then miraculously slipped back just as I came along with the sun at just the right angle in the side-by-side.

I guess that makes us both lucky?:confused3::confused2::banghead:ullinghair:

BTW, I learned this morning that Peter Fonda took the big ride over the rainbow. Easy Rider and Captain America is a big part in how I ended up hooked on motorcycles. Dunno if that's good or bad, but the world is diminished by his passing.:grumpy:
