Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 8:30AM. Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. High 72F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.

Congrats on your turkey, Wng! Hope you and the bear can find some way to get along. I'm getting reports of them coming out further up the canyon; I just hope they stay up there.

Nice shot of the planets, Phil, and the snow movie worked fine, too. What kind of camera is it that has such a long exposure setting for the planets?

I've had escaped cows on the property a couple of times; here I've heard it's MY responsibility to put up fences to keep them out.:confused2: I find it easier and more entertaining to chase them home with the Kubota side-by-side. But I don't get the neighbors not answering their phones. Don't they even have an answering machine?:muttering:

Glad your flowers dodged the frost bullet, Drew. How long before you start seeing blooms?

More and more wildflowers are popping up here every day, and the grass is getting longer, too. Gonna need to start mowing soon, but with no word yet from the dealer, who knows when they'll be able to give the tractor back?:thumbdown:

Got the pump house cleaned out for the solar install yesterday; oh my gosh was it dirty in there. Going to throw out, or more likely, burn, a bunch of old molding that I haven't found any use for in ten years, along with a redwood 2x4 that is so warped in both directions I can't imagine using it for anything but firewood.

Aside from touching up the cut ends of the solar panel rack pipes, and pulling off the tarps from the concrete generator pad, I've done about as much as I can until the tractor gets back. Not sure what else I'll get up to today, maybe try to clean off a couple of bench tops in the garage/shop?

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Almost forgot. Pretty cloudy yesterday, so I didn't think there'd be much of a sunset. But at about 7:30 out the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of rose, and when I stuck my head out the door, this is what greeted me:

67°F and .04 inches rain

Looks like a beautiful day ahead. Guess that means some mor time mowing. The way it’s going by the time I get thru it all it will be time to start again

IRS site now says I will have Stimulus deposited on 4/22. Wait and see.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I was able to get a brief cloudless shot of the sky yesterday. Here is Mars, Saturn and Jupiter in the sky going left to right. Nice being able to see planets with the naked eye!

Just shared with wife the IRS note about about Stimulus deposit.
Her comment, “doesn’t mean you can spend it right off”
Obviously she doesn’t know meaning of stimulus.

Jbrumberg; that was the cat that I put down last November. I had already taken the BH off and put the rear blade on. I put her in the deep freezer that we keep for dead pets. She has her own little coffin as well.
2012_01_18_IMG_0002.jpg She will be waiting at the rainbow bridge for me.
The back yard is really soft, so instead of driving into the spot, I backed in and I am glad I did. I do have two ruts to flatten out, but the sod wasn't busted, so maybe it will level itself out.

On the way out of my pet cemetery I attacked the stump from the spruce tree that fell over last spring. That thing was rotten right to the crown. There is a burn ban so I cannot burn it out.

All my ordered vegetable seeds ordered through Amazon have shipped. :)

Our last local curbside produce/food order was a little short, but we did get some frozen hamburger yesterday.

Now I am killing time waiting to drive down to a local bakery for a curbside pizza and bread pickup. They make an awesome white pizza and their breads are really wholesome good.

RNG- A surprise gift. Thanks for sharing.

Bill- I hope your pack and pride members waiting at the bridge have a long wait. I have 16 pets waiting.

Good afternoon! Decent weather day here. Too wet to mow though.

We went gun shopping today. My wife has a new toy.



Roger SP101, 38/357, 4.2 barrel. She liked how this one felt in her hand. The shop had another with a full wood grip she didn稚 care for the feel. Also tried out a GP100 with 3 barrel that was a close 2nd to this one. May go get that one for myself. I liked it. This one feels pretty good to me too. Balances nice.

She also has hatched 6 Silver Appleyard ducklings from eggs she ordered. Not a common breed. We had 2 in the past, the drake lived 10 years.

Everyone stay safe out there
