Good morning!!!!

A good friend of mine is going to the Baseball playoff bubble to work the playoffs and the world series. He works for the TV crew. He's excited because he's a baseball nut. Next 3 weeks or so. He's having to use 20 days of vacation from his "real" job.

Good evening all. 48F for the start, partly cloudy, windy. Windy day again today, sly cleared off, and high temp was 81F. Warmer tomorrow then cold front comes through. Not enough rain in 10-day to forecast any amounts Bike ride later in morning because of the cold start, then weed eat and nap.

We're up to 4 days in the Ten Day now where they're calling for better than a 25% chance of rain ... and 25+ mph winds for tomorrow ...

Nap good though ... :thumbsup:

Could not handle the "debate" :mur:

I had it on ... was only half-listening though ...

RS hope you have some inside work

Always ...

RS ok I'll bite, what is it, a leaf blower?

Yup ... leaf/debris blower ...

Hope the new ladder is light enough for you, RS, but my experience is that size is all I can handle by myself, and I have to be real careful not to let it fall on my head.

Yeah ... it's quite an improvement over the 28' fiberglass one ... weighs about 1/2. There were a couple of times that one almost got away from me ... without extra help from The Woman it would have.

Hope the fires subside and you get some rain.

Stay safe.

Coffee has finished brewing. 50ｰ with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 63ｰ with a chance of some sun in afternoon. Got .16" of rain. Enough to keep me in all day yesterday. Yesterday's list is still good for today.
Let Sassy out yesterday afternoon. She found a squirrel in yard and chased it up yard light pole. All of sudden she is going to start protecting her yard. No picture yet.
Was cleaning up my file of flower pictures. This one caught my eye.

That one is a beauty ... :thumbsup:

Mostly, I sure hope they are migrating. I will not be able to afford the amount of seed they eat.

I hear ya ... :thumbsup:

I just picked up 12 lbs of nyjer at TSC this afternoon ... wee-o ...

Thankfully it should last 3 or 4 months.

RS, I know about that too heavy a ladder.

Yeah ... it ain't no fun

Is that a piece of new concrete, David?

Very handsome!

Thanks
Na, just 3/4 ext ply on 2x joists. Decided to give it a coat of deck paint to protect a bit as it will be awhile before completely closed in. Will be covered with some sort of flooring eventually.

A bit of clarification. My friend did take advantage, but not in negative way. Originally he was only getting the air compressor, tool chest and some hand tools for which she told him how much, but he insisted on paying more. When we were picking those up, she kept suggesting he take more, like the pressure washer, Dewalt kit etc. I don’t think she has much appreciation of the value. Can’t have a yard sale due to covids and understand what doesn’t go by time she puts house on the market will be donated.

... Something has dug our our crocuses and other bulbs, we think it痴 squirrels. Wife is pretty pizzed, never had this happen before.

Chipmunks ?

The place here is riddled with their holes and tunnels ...

good morning all.
Despite my best intentions to watch debate, I fell asleep reading my book, so watched reruns this morning. Oh my...

The weather however is very encouraging, I see sunny skies predicted for 8 out of 10 next days, highs in low 70's and nights in low 50's,
which is normal October weather here. 62 out now, going up to 72 today in bright sunshine.

Gave my vacate notice to campground owner, while having a nice chat with his father who was running a mini-ex. All the equipment, mostly Cat, has their name on it, so apparently the father
has had his own excavation company for many years, and together they will be doing all the site work more than doubling the size of this campground. Father has immense somewhat wild white beard, though underneath that he is soft spoken and very friendly. Truly a don't judge a book by the cover guy. I'm here on their monthly rate, which is an amazingly low 375 a month, lowest in area, and am curious if I leave half way through the month will they pro-rate that or what. Some places don't give refunds on monthly rates, am pretty sure these folks will. Father told me township was now requiring them to pave all their roads instead of using gravel, so they are going to buy a used paver and do it themselves. They also mentioned putting in concrete pads at the sites, which would be nice. I track a lot of sand in, almost as bad as being at the beach.

Going to buy a hair dryer today and go to work on frozen fins inside refrigerator. Too much food in there still to turn it off for a day,
but I heard it running and running and no wonder with half the fins iced over.

RS, good luck with that big blower, what a howl that must make, definitely wear ear protection
