Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

46°F and light rain this morning, going up to 63° today. This was the rain they said yesterday we wouldn't be getting. More coming tonight and through most of the day tomorrow. Sure wish we could send some of that your way, RNG.

Had grass mowing, aeration, and over-seeding in the plans for this weekend. I guess we'll see what Sunday has to offer.

We keep a few boxes of the Velveeta Shells & Cheese in the cabinet as well, Bird. It's easy, and it's not awful. Best mac-n-cheese I've ever had was from my first wife's (late) mother. I watched her make it, but never could get it quite right myself. When I asked her what I was missing, she just smiled and said, "That's my recipe, sonny. You'll just have to come over and eat it here." Was talking with my ex- a few years ago and that recipe came up in the conversation. She told me her mother never wrote it down, so she doesn't have it either. Shame. It really was ridiculously good.

Sorry to read about your diagnosis. I suppose many of us will walk that same path sooner or later. Hope they can come through with something to slow the progress.

Up to 50F sunny. Just back from John Deere with $160 worth of oil, filters, hydraulic juice, Special green grease. May even get some mowing done later.

The itching is getting better. The poison ivy tree is a 4" or 5" tree that is covered with poison ivy. looks like a tall bush. The tree died and fell over the lane but something is keeping it from falling all the way down. I just need to get it down on the ground and then push it back into the woods. If you mess with poison ivy there is a good chance you are going to pay. I can get away with it in the winter but it is starting to leaf out now so it's more dangerous. What I need is an 11 foot pole.

RNG, any interest in a cab for your M62?

My tractoring is pretty much confined to the milder temps of the rainy season, Drew, at least for the ground engagement jobs. So even though that cab doesn't come with A/C, it wouldn't do me much good even if it did. Those same mild winter temps make a cab heater unnecessary, too, and an open station is really all that's necessary. Especially since the M62 already comes with a pretty good sized roof that covers the ROP bars. So my answer to your question is no, but I'm sure there are plenty of folks that would appreciate one in the northern states when they're using one to push snow or do other outside work in the winter.

Could you get a logging chain around the base and drag it that way? The chain will get crapped up (that's where my current dose came from), but with washable gloves and a long sleeve shirt, you can keep it off of you for the most part. Then pressure wash the chain and anything you touched on the tractor. Which is something I still need to do...

As far as the poison ivy;
I would just spray the heck out of any leafs that I saw with roundup and or remedy all season long,
eventually it will die off.

65°F and .04 inches rain. Overcast, sprinkling as I type.

Primary task today is mowing, depending on wx.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Nice burgers, Drew. Only 20#? Thinking I need to lose 50#

59F and partly cloudy @ 14:00, headed up to a high of 60F (maybe)

Birds, chipmunks, and squirrels at feeders this morning. Looks like there has been a squirrel on the squirrel feeder all day long so far. They might get it drained by days end.

Fish and cats all fed, have to dish out mealworms for the bluebirds, load those and the wheel hubs in van and take them up to the shop.

Have a look at the compost/wood lot when I'm up there ... may need mowed.

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ...

All this talk of Mac & cheese made me make a batch with
Cauliflower/cashew cheese with peas and olives and spicy crumbles on top.
