Good Morning everyone!!!!!!

A beautiful, clear 31ºF for this morning’s low temperature; a clear and sunny 54ºF presently; and I anticipate a clear and sunny afternoon with temperatures in the high 60ºF’s. The windshields were iced up and there were scattered pockets of frost here this AM. The most cold sensitive vegetation in my lower field took some frost nip, the garden (or what’s left of it) was untouched, but the squash and tomatoes are not happy. I’ll probably see more frost damage later. Plan for today- try to accomplish what I planned to do yesterday. Plan for tonight introduce two of our friends to that newly reopened restaurant that we like nearby.

Thanks for the + posts. I am much improved from yesterday and no more blood passed. I’ve known about the pre-cancerous cells in my esophagus for since my first endoscopy ~10 years ago. Based on risk factors then I had a 1% chance of those cells going cancerous. Now I have just about all the risk factors and I now am up to 5% chance. Like DABSGT this is a good time to start on the dieting, food choices, and some lifestyle changes. Other than my challenges with portion control, sausages and red meats we really eat healthily. Don would approve of most of what we eat ;). I need to work on portion control, timing of meals, and cut down on the martinis.:eek::(. The last time I did this I started having serious challenges with hypoglycemia; I needed to stop almost all the insulins that I now take. We’ll see.

Pwinters- Welcome to GM.

David- I am sorry to read about your P3’s video interference challenges, but thank for the ground based pic. I never had much problem with video signal breakup/loss (except for range issues), but I had a dedicated TV Tx and and video Rx monitor. Good luck.

DABSGT- That prime roast looks like awesome eats and done to perfection. I have a functional Weber for a backup to my BigGreenEgg; cobbled together from all the Weber grills I had prior to the BGE purchase. For the $, I think those Weber grills cannot be beat. Congratulations on your weight loss. Good luck on the range today.

BEF- Good luck with the neurologist today. I hope the neurologist can help figure out what is driving your neuropathy, and thanks for sharing your “trip.”

Buppies- I hope you feel better, get some decent restful sleep, and good luck with the basil cell removal. It’s really hard to get motivated and energized for projects when one spent the previous evening awake, tossing around, and wrestling the sheets, blankets, and pillows.:(

I really enjoy the project and life sharing from all. I much prefer to read about the shenanigans here than what's reportedly going on in the "real world."

I hope that everyone is having a decent day today, projects moving along as hoped, those on the mend and healing keep mending and healing.

My + thoughts and prayers.

RNG, I am thinking I will use the Raspberry PI with open source software to control my sprinklers if I ever get them installed..

Thanks for the thought, Hawkeye, but I once tried an X10 based sprinkler control, and experienced first hand the excitement of being awakened by a neighbor pounding on the door at 2AM to tell me my sprinklers were on. No, I'm looking for a tried-and-true system with a sterling history and big user base that has already worked out the bugs. Such a thing might not exist, yet, but I'm gonna spend some time lookin' for it...

Wait just a minute, Jay. Does this mean what gets discussed here isn't "real world"? I'm devastated!!!:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

72°F and .13 inches rain.

Much needed haircut this morning, then back to mowing.

Still no date for concrete pour. Suspect they are booked up with the good weather.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning all. The sun is shining and forecasters are still confident there will be no rain until the weekend.



I always enjoy seeing what others have been up to too. There are always things going on here that are interesting, even if I have no need to do the same, such as RNG's fire sprinklers and with others you can never know how they will turn out, like Davids underground tunnelling adventures. We get to admire Checks cladding, frown on Don cheating at woodwork by using a laser (only kidding Don!) and lots of other things, something different almost every day :thumbsup:

My project to get the house passed by building control is getting closer to completion. This last section is not as old as the rest of the house. We think it was built just over a hundred years ago to house a static engine, but hadn't been given much TLC for many years. This is how it looked when we first bought the place.

A skilled bricklayer rebuilt the far corner for me and I got the worst of the wall at ground level sorted a few years ago. With a new roof on it didn't look too bad so I left it while last. All the bricks are machine made and many have been laid with vertical joints less than 1/4 inch wide, with mortar missing going right back, so this will take me a few days. I need to get back to it now or the mortar won't have firmed enough to strike off before nightfall.

Come on Eric, can’t tease us like that - current pic of all your progress

Eric- Some "handyman special fixer upper." :eek: For its age and neglect it was still standing. Thanks for sharing.

I think this image pretty well describes this thread and its posters:

A (Wifey initiated) change in plans this PM = transporting a truckload of metal junk to the regional recycling center. I am hoarding challenged, but this junk is really junk.

Don, when my mom got her pacemaker, she kind of gave up. We saw it as a turning point. Hopefully your mom will see it as a positive, not a negative.

I will need one someday.
