good morning all. Looks like just above freezing out, fingers crossed nothing dies.
should be a nice day up into sixties in sun.
Unfortunate discussion with surgeon office yesterday who asked where my surgery preclearances were.
I thought they were getting them, as has always happened in the past. Not this time, so now I have one more doc appt this
morning at primary and another one Monday with cardiologist to clear me for surgery. Huge waste of time and money but I'm sure
insurance regs drives this bus.

Bird, you are an inspiration for all of us. Just keep doing the best you can and keep your sense of humor.

Just finished a home made apple blueberry muffin with a nice cup of coffee. I tupperwared the rest of the muffins, need to give them away,
if I keep them in fridge sooner or later I'll eat them and I'm 20#+ over as it is.

Good morning, low is 29°F and the high will be 55. Wind W 5 mph. Sunny!

The wood furnace got almost all installed yesterday, except for the smoke pipe. I need to pick up a 2' piece of it when I go and get the power washer this morning. The only reason I got them to install it was the 550 lbs it weighs and going downstairs is not my best trait.

It is a long way from Texas to Ontario, so I don't think I have too much to worry about when oldest daughter does get her license.

My neighbour across the street got her license at age 45 and the week after she got it she took her older (86) Ford pickup and drove to Denver, CO and back. I think she had a angel parked on her shoulder.

Jobs for today; go get power washer, pick up old incinerator and load in trailer for dump, haul trailer to dump, drop by grocery store and get 20 bags of black earth, set up totes for the container garden, grab the 20 bags that has sat all winter on south side of house and spread that out on the lawn where it is needed and seed with Scotts turf builder grass seed.
IF I get all that done, I will have put in a good day.


Have a safe day all

burgers turned out really good, was a 85% lean ribeye mixture for 4.99 a pound which seemed reasonable.
one of these sure filled me up and quietly seem to always clog me up in the bathroom though. Next set of burgers will
be vegan, on my burger rotation. Then salmon.
My experimenting with ground flax seed on outside didn't do much.

Good morning, I got off around the fields early this morning before the sun was fully up, most were white over with frost. Wanted to get back in good time to get the tractor out with pallet forks on as I'm not sure what time the steel supplier will be delivering.

First prototype fish refuge is ready to launch. I zip tied some old geotextile on the top, as everything I have read says the fish much prefer it to be shaded. There are a few branches of alder woven in there too to make it more attractive for them. Before I put it in the water, I need a float to show where it is. Any suggestions on what to use that would last a long time with minimal chance of sinking ? - My first thoughts were a sea fisherman's pot marker buoy, then thought I could perhaps makes something more discreet from solvent weld pipe.

Roy, you won't stop smiling for days, maybe weeks, once you treat yourself to those pallet forks. The guy in the video was real lucky to get that second load off without it toppling onto his cab.

Good morning.
36 headed to 64 and clear

Yesterday I ended up helping clear a clogged main drain for my son. Started out as cutting up an abandoned oil fired boiler to get it out of his basement when the mission creeped.

Today I’m helping my mechanical contractor friend finish a heat pump installation and chase a refrigerant leak on another.
No tractor time today.

Tomorrow is off to Marsh Harbour again.

Good Morning!!!! 50F @ 4:15AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 78F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.
Sunday's rain amount has now dropped to less than 3/4". Sigh...

I'd be tempted to use one of the quart sports drink bottles, Eric. I made a bait station for yellow jackets out of one a couple years ago, and it's weathered a couple of summers now seemingly unharmed. Or you could try some monofilament fishing line and a bobber, which would seem to be made for the job.

Good luck getting all that done, Bill. Just remember there's tomorrow if you don't.

That's some tough news, Bird. Hope the new meds work for you.

Did that SpaceX launch contain more Starlink satellites, David? The Crosstalk guy has more videos up on it.

Nothing left of the vaccination side effects but a slightly sore arm.

New burglar alarm arrived yesterday, but I didn't have time to even open the box. Might get to that this morning. Bunch of other stuff, too, with deliveries from USPS, UPS, and FedEx all in the same day.

Got the gravel spread for the bucked wood stack, and soaked it with Fipronil. Still need to give it a dose of RM43 to keep the weeds out, which will probably win out on messing with the alarm system. Need to get it done before the wind picks up this afternoon.

The Lyrids meteor shower peaked night before last, and I caught a nice one this morning looking out the bedroom slider.

TGIF gang!

RNG, any interest in a cab for your M62?

Mornin all, Sunny and did not get frost last night. happy
Got wife's new bird house up, about all I could do with the wind.

Kyle- prayers for your cars

Drew - insurance pre-approvals are a pain-especially since the Dr. already said you need this. More $ flowing through an amazingly bureaucratic system, Hope you get all your ducks lined up in time.

Stay safe and be well. Maybe will get some time to pick up more sticks, put in some plants and use the new Pole Saw.
