Good morning!!!!

[RoyJackson]

Roy what about a nut splitter?

Good idea...I don't own one and based upon the ones I've seen (can't recall ever actually using one), don't think there's enough clearance between the nut and housing

59 right now and a much cooler day in the upper 60's today...

We received mail from the vet that came to the house for Bella last week. I thought I may have screwed up something when I'd written her a check...
Nope, it was a very sweet sympathy card...something I'll treasure and put it with Bella's collar and favorite squeaky toy. Damn sure brought the tears back...

Good Morning
65 going to 77 today with clear skies
Yesterday we got got about 1/2” of rain according to the Tempest, .35 according to the Davis.

Yesterday, I got one speaker shipped, another is close to that point, but I’m waiting for the drivers to arrive. It is getting harder to get parts and keep them in stock. Didn’t do much outside, it was pretty hot, and the humidity was climbing.

This morning I’m off to Marsh Harbour again, so that will kill the better part of the day.

Frist cup of coffee is cooling. 44° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 68° with a few clouds. .42" of rain yesterday. Had a good visit with my Aunt. She is doing good with her recovery. But still lots of pain. Some grocery shopping this morning. Then mow and trim grass.
Hawk is getting better at posing for camera.

Thanks everyone for your great pictures.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the sun is shining, a good day for preparing outside doors and testing some sample finishes. A clear wax oil looked good at first when the oak was new, however it soon weathers away on the sunny sides of the house.


Popgadget, 60" square is an interesting size for plywood. Most suppliers here sell birch ply in sheets of 8' x 4' or cut down to 4' x 2'.

Meant to attach this up close shot...View attachment 700021

Wng, are the fungi on Fork Mountain tasty ?

I can do HDPE pipe up to about 2” or so, forget the exact sizes, but don’t know how you would do flat edges together

Thanks for the feedback. I have seen flat sheets bevelled and butted together, then joined with a fillet using a hot air gun with a special nozzle to feed in the plastic rod.

Is that a star?

The surrounding "stars" reminded me more of dandruff.

Good morning, low 38 and high will be 52°F. Wind N 8 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

DIL has a room at the hospice, but needs a negative test before they will admit her. This I don't understand, she has already had a covid poke and got it a week before I got mine. Junior is not happy, he wants her at home, but I support her feelings on the matter. It is about her needs and wants at this stage of the game, not his.
He is acting exactly the way that my blind grandfather did, he let his wife suffer for 4 years in hospital steadily going downhill with cancer, until she finally died.

I've still gotten no word on when my truck will be ready, but at this stage of the game I don't really care. I can survive without the added income, but I would do better with it.

Yes, the hawk is getting more used to you taking his picture.

I don't know what I will get into today, but it will be something.

Have a safe day all

Eric, maybe you need a 'narrow boat' scaled down? Or one of these?

I started hiking Old Rag in the early 1980's. Always went up the east route and usually down the east route. Carried 3 children up on my back when each was about 2 yrs old. Used to be a spring ritual. Stopped doing it about 2005 or so.
Fond memories overtaken by too many people. Up to the early '90's parking was easy. Last few times had to "satellite" park.

At spots like this I would tie a rope around the young kids and let them walk near the edge.

Good memories.

Great photo and glad you have good memories. Tough hike. The park Service added a new parking area a few years ago.

 

[wngsprd]

68 going to 88...hit 94 here yesterday, I think a new record at the "official" airport weather station. No rain.

Eric, they looked tasty, like something to add to porridge. Good catch on the name of the mountain.

Took it easy yesterday, but did complete a take down and thorough cleaning of my coffee roaster.

good morning all.
Looks like a lovely day, rains all done, got about .40 in rain gauge, jives with Popgadget's more professional weather station so
that is good.

Felt visit to surgeon yesterday a bit useless. Yes, it still looks swollen and here is name of PT place we recommend.
Helga the Torturer will get called this morning. I still couldn't get through the night without a pain pill so looks like this will be a long haul.

First visit with new dermatologist this afternoon. I know I have something on my ear, minor but it's the stuff I can't see that worries me.
I had a melanoma on my upper back where they cut out a piece of me the size of a deck of cards, so the first thing I tell dermatologist is
watch my back.

bright blue sky, everything greened up overnight, should be a nice day.

and RS, Ron and others in Mid West, be extra careful of ticks:

Ticks have been out since March this year. Sassy is getting treatment for them. She seems to attract them. I do a check of myself every day.

68-86 today, hit 94 yesterday. Zero rain, my yard is past dry and brown, I’m getting bare spots on the sandy areas. Looks like hell. Some chance for rain Saturday. Very cool nor’easter this weekend.
Kids and grandkids coming tonight so I have to clean the guest bathroom says Ellen. I don’t see anything that needs cleaning but I just follow orders.
Have a good day guys, God Bless.

Morning all, Sunny now.
Got 2 small fields mowed before the wind picked up and started beating me with bits of greenery.
Got the mower back in just as rain started and then lightening. Good to have rain though.
Will need to finish 2 more fields..

Stay safe and be well

You make me tear up just reading about Bella, we sure do love our pets.

Think you would need to melt each side and press it together, unless the heat gun is doing that as it also fills the gap.

It’s literally like welding and is called a plastic welder. We used them in the body shop to repair bumper covers and such. There were many different sticks for different composites as well as different settings. I bought mine around 1982. We also used it for repairs in the upholstery shop.

66°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 86° today. Potentially severe storms expected here later today. Radar looks like the front is making its way across Missouri now. Temps 20° cooler on the other side for the weekend.

Haven't seen any ticks here yet this year, surprisingly.
