Got no stimulus for my college kid, the one that needs it the most

The easy answer, it痴 Hump Day.

Also Tax Day if things were normal....

Was 23 this morning, now up to 38 and sunny. But weather guy in Cleveland says maybe snow later.....

Quiet morning at work so far. Working on a training/technical support project. Somewhat boring....but time does pass and I am learning some things myself.

Everyone stay safe out there.

39 going to 54 today and partly cloudy so far. Cleaned out rain runoff channels to road and did road crew work and cleared the channel and pipes. Took out about 40 sq feet of leaves, broken tarmac etc. Do I get my DOT vest soon
BEF, like the stump forsythia planter
Be well all

RNG, would you still buy your Mini Drone again from B&H Photo.

In a heartbeat! No regrets whatsoever. Sure, I'd like to have some of the more advanced GPS features, but still balk at the $1000 price tag. At less than half that, the Mini offers 85%+ of the functionality, and excels at its main purpose: Ariel photography. Even better, it hovers itself: Just take your thumbs off the controls and it stops safely in midair, giving you a chance to figure out what to do next. B&H is a pleasure to deal with, and with a PayBoo card, dodge the sales tax.:thumbsup:

36°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 51° again today. Voice on the radio suggested we may get near 70° this weekend.

Eric, our government has gotten into the habit of trying to buy our voting loyalty by taking advantage of situations like this and sending us money they don't have in the first place ($22T in public debt). As RNG noted, they are reckless with the way they spend the public money, and I assume they are hoping we'll be equally reckless in spending the portion of our tax money they are returning to us (which, maddeningly, we'll have to claim as "income" on next year's tax filings). Of course, most of the places that truly need us to spend that money aren't even open. Wife just moved ours over into the savings account for now.

Nice pictures, guys.

Wow, I just replied to a thread and got set back to 2017 in this thread when I came back to it.

Good Morning!!!! 50F @ 7:15AM. Sunshine and a few clouds. High around 80F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
In other words, a perfect weather day.

Got a scare when I drove the tractor up the ramps onto the trailer yesterday. I noticed the front of the trailer rising up, and thought the hitch had somehow come loose. It's happened before when loading motorcycles in the 5x8 trailer, due to operator error. But the hitch was latched. Turns out that the weight of the tractor was enough to compress the leaf springs holding the rear axle in place, which caused the springs on the front axle to lift. Once the tractor was all the way up on the deck, things went back to level again. Still made me nervous all the way into town, especially the first mostly downhill part, which has some sections steep enough I had to goose up the trailer brake controller to avoid over speeding. No further issues, and no word from the dealer on what they think is wrong. But I have a good idea of where most if not all of my stimulus check is going.ullinghair:

Listened in on a panel discussion yesterday of mostly lawyers covering the PG&E payout to fire survivors. Nothing new, but I was taken aback that the survivor claims have taken a back seat to those of PG&E bond holders, Wall Street hedge fund managers, big banks, insurance companies, and now even PG&E, who is paying fines using millions from the settlement fund. Worse, while all the others get paid up front in cash, survivors have to settle for more than half paid in PG&E stock, which could well be worthless when, not if, we have more fires caused by their negligent power line maintenance. As usual, those that have lost the most benefit the least. BTW, let's not forget that 20% of the 13.2 BILLION dollar settlement fund is going straight into the pockets of the lawyers that are supposed to be representing the fire survivors. Do you suppose that's why the lawyers are pushing the survivors to vote "yes" for this crappy deal?

Here's a link to the video of the discussion, just in case you're curious and have nothing better to do with two hours of your time.

Not sure how far I'll get without tractor power, but I'm gonna start putting together the solar panel rack today. Like a big, heavy erector set...

It's hUMp day!!!

Almost forgot!

Two new cases of CoVid-19 in Butte County over the past few days, but 13 have recovered, and no deaths.:thumbsup:

You need another credit card, right, Rick?:laughing:
