Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

First cup of coffee has been poured. 60° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 55° with PM rain. Already have had high temperature for the day. Checked all eavestroughs and downspouts on house and garage yesterday. Found some painting to do . Primed and painted NG pipes to house and shop. Need to clean those area's up today. Then conserve energy for rest of the day. Did fly drone. Little early for fall color pictures.

Also had a blackbird attack at feeders yesterday.

Roy, good you sold old tractor. Sorry about tractor you wanted to purchase. Hope you find a good one to replace it.

LS, all this talk about pork rolls and spam. Never been a fan of either. My breakfast yesterday breakfast was topped off with Canadian Bacon.

Drew, I made the mistake of having a glass of wine while on Flomax. Good thing I did not have to drive home that day.

Everyone be safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

65 going to 81...last chance to get some outside work done before days of predicted rain...up to 3 inches.

Eric, I guess I got my boots fixed just in time to give them a good test. Thanks for the tips on patching. These boots are worn out, so the patches won't have to last too long. I just have to bite the bullet and buy another pair...not cheap...these are neoprene tops and thick insulated bottoms...been my hunting boots, then my everyday boots when my other uninsulated ones died. Finding a good boot and wearing them comfortably is a pleasure in life...so it's hard to part with these.

Thomas, great Boo stories...but also really cool to hear of your moose encounter. My wife and I walked up on a mama moose and her calf one time...was a scary experience.

Ron, your place is really beautiful...those trees show a lot of color potential. We have flocks of cowbirds at our bird feeders now.

Roy, congrats on selling your JD. Hope you get a replacement soon.

Well, enjoyed watching the last Oriole game of the year yesterday. Just wished they had played as well all season as my Fantasy teams...that season is now over, too, so I gain some time back each day.

Never dried out yesterday, so need to mow today...got a bit of pruning done, but need to do more today.

Yes, the salt content is high..... I am sure there are a bunch of other nasties in it also..... you only live once right?. When I was a kid, it was practically a Saturday morning staple....

Now there is this stuff called "Scrapple" .... THAT, I cannot eat.... can't even stand the smell of it cooking.... my sisters loved it.

Both my wife and late wife love scrapple, it’s like a chitterling patty to me! It is gross.
I love fried bologna but I don’t eat either anymore, same with Spam, even the low sodium version has a ton of sodium and fat.

68-82 today, then a cooling trend starts after tomorrow. Got rain much of yesterday along with sunshine, two in a row like that. My grass isn’t too bad but I know it’s fall, the wild onions are popping up in back.
Hope everyone has great day.

:thumbsup:
when I drive North from VA end of next week, will be going up 81 to PA turnpike and then heading East.
Am hoping the colors will be out and it will be a pretty drive
going this direction takes half an hour longer than going up 95, well worth it to me

63F and partly cloudy @ 06:30, heading up to a high of 80F.

Mix of clouds and sun this morning, mostly cloudy by 13:00, rain chances approaching 50% by 17:00, then 100% by 20:00 and tapering off after that. Expecting around 1/2" of rain, thunder possible.

The Woman got all the variegated hosta clumps that had been dug out from around the shop a couple of weeks ago split and cleaned yesterday. They are sitting in a bucket of water waiting to be planted later today. Need to clean up all the dirt that came off of them and haul that up and run it through the soil screen to mix it in with compost.

She and I also got some of solid green hosta we got from our friend planted as well. Still a few more of those to go though.

I also ran several bucketloads compost/dirt through the soil screener. Might do a few more of those today, and try to get area behind west planting bed seeded with shade grass.

Hauled down multiple loads of mulch and spread on west planting bed:

Have more to do on that today, but not until she gets her daffodils and tulips planted.

Pruned rhododendron in west planting bed.

Cut five bars of Irish Spring in half after we came in. Need to drill those and hang them today.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:
