Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

53 outside this AM. Heading to 70's. Sun broke out late yesterday. Quickly assembled a garden plot and hopped on the mowers. Physically and mentally ran out of gas.
Need to find food today. Curb side pickups are two to six days out. Trying to plan out for another month. Looks like most stores are rationing items now too. Ugh.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

64 going to 75, more reasonable and seasonable than yesterday's mid-80s...even the crazy carpenter bees were complaining...but I must admit it felt nice to go out in the warm wind and watch the gorgeous red sunset.

Just finished a 30 minute grocery shopping trip - online. Tried WalMart grocery for the first time other than a dog toy and first aid kit order. They knew the things we usually buy there and "suggested" them, had all my info for fast checkout, and I snagged a 11am pick up slot tomorrow. They don't deliver way out here...can't even order a pizza for delivery. No TP, and out of several items I wanted, but overall a 5 star experience.

I tried to sign up for another local grocer pickup (Food Lion) last night but their server crashed at the confirmation step. I'll try again, and then Wegman's next.

Ron, beautiful blue bird pix. They've already started building nests in out boxes here. Glad BIL not CV.

Cleaned the mower and tractor yesterday, but ran out of time and so will lube tractor today.

Caught 3 mice and put on "Predator Butte" and they disappeared, but not sure whether "our" red tail or the foxes got them.

Kyle, sounds like you had a special family time last night.

Bear got bird feeder again.
----------------------------------------
I had great success placing wind chimes at feeder keeping bear away last year.

Great idea also thought about Halloween motion activated creature with glowing red eyes

NWS shows we have 62 degrees at 6 a.m. and that's also the forecast high for today. I had some doubts about the accuracy of that.:laughing: But when I walked outside, it felt like about 62 to me. But the forecast also calls for a 100% chance of rain today. Since we've already gotten almost 9 inches this month, we really don't need anymore rain, but since we have to stay in anyway, I don't reckon it'll bother us.

Drinking second cup of coffee. 39° with light rain this morning. Heading to 43° with cloudy skies this morning. I remembered to check battery in car yesterday. 12.1 volts. Time to put charger on. Took about 3 hours for 2 amp charger to bring to 12.7. Winds and rain came in by 11am. Not going anyplace soon. Looks like 30 more days. Need to find something to do inside today.
Rescanned my TV's yesterday. New Channel. CIRCLE. Hee Haw and Opry programs. Fell asleep watching/listening to it last night. I will listen to anything that makes me feel good.
No burning allowed in Michigan. Part of the stay in place order.
Female Bluebird visited.


Riptides, nice garden.

Steppenwolfe, I think my Stanley thermos still has hot coffee in it from 10 years ago. Stays hot for a long time.

Randy, good there was lots of chicken to pass around.

Rick, I need a better dust collection system for my shop. Craftsman vacuum does not do as good a job. Table saw, metal cutoff saw and 14" wood bandsaw are on roller bases. Others are way to heavy for any kind of roller bases. 20 ton press is in a storage area that has lots of room around it. All my tractor attachments have some type of easy to roll around wheels on them.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 5:30 AM. Overcast. High 62F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.
No rain in today's forecast, and the winds should help dry things out. Maybe I'll get some gravel spread today.

Another great bluebird shot, Ron. Keep 'em comin'!:thumbsup:

Not much to be done about CoVid, except stay home and away from people. Don't need a TV talking head to tell you that.

Thanks for the WalMart tip, Wng. I'll see if it'll work on the one in town, as I really, really don't wanna go into a big germ box to shop for food.
Found an empty mouse trap in the garage yesterday, with the bait lever licked clean. Forgot to reset it, so thanks for the reminder.

Send some of that rain up here, Bird. We've only got half the rain and snow we should have by this time of year.

Spent most of yesterday fooling with the security cameras, trying to get one of them to post pics on the web. Only partly successful in that the camera also overlooks one of the hummer feeders, so it's a pretty view. But Weather Underground refuses to snag the image. Now waiting for their tech support to get back to me.

Made my first lentil dish for dinner, and it was very tasty. Just lentils in the Instant Pot for 9 minutes with a few spices, served over wild rice. I'll post the recipe here if anyone's interested...

Next Amazon order will have a large bottle of Bean-0 in it, though.:ashamed:

Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!

Good Morning! Temp range 62 to 66 cloudy 85% chance of rain.
I was surprised this morning by an invitation to assist in a cedarcide. This will be at the County level and special covid19 precautions will be in effect.
