Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

The last 2 days I got up with nothing special planned and then stayed busy as a one armed paper hanger until the middle of the afternoon. So this morning I got up with nothing planned and decided to go see if Carter Bloodcare wanted some 81 year old blood. I hadn't donated blood since I had my triple bypass 5 years ago. They were glad to get it.

64°F and rain this morning, going up to 81° today. Rain expected pretty much all day today and into tomorrow. Had quite the boomer pass through around 1:30 this morning. Rang the doggie doorbell five or six times from the sideways rain hitting the sensor on the door. The storm upset the foster dog enough that she whined for probably another hour after it passed. Not a lot of sleep last night. I'm seeing a nap in my near future.

Inside day/weekend means lots of studio time. I don't hate that. The Wife is spending her weekend on a new oil painting

She wants lasagna for dinner, so I'll need to make some time to go to the store at some point today. Going to make two pans so she can take one to her father. She still likes my lasagna after almost 18 years, so I got that going for me.

Happy Anniversary, Luther.

My parents were big fans of the big band era music, especially the swinging stuff, as that's what they grew up with. They also liked much of the early rock-n-roll as well. Both were big Elvis fans. Basically, they liked pretty much anything they could dance to. I remember as a teenager in the early '80s seeing my Father one day standing in my bedroom door while I was listening to a Rush album. He commented, "Those guys are pretty good. Just three guys, huh? I'd probably go to one of their concerts with you if people didn't smoke all that funny stuff there."

There's your compost!

No. 2 reasons. Too much urine/salt and it’s not organic - herbicides are used in the cow field.

69°F and .12 inches rain

Back in the caretaker unit today. Hope to get shower plumbing and hang some durorock.

Started watching an interesting series on Amazon Prime, Clarkson’s Farm. Filmed in England, even sheep, made me think of Eric.

I see my grass is growing too fast and will require attention soon.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

74F and "Fair" @ 13:00, headed up to a high of 80F, 2% chance of rain. Ten Day is calling for chances of thunderstorms over the next 7 days.

Very quiet here right now. Winds 5 mph or less.

Got upper and lower front yard entirely mowed yesterday. Still have a little bit down around the house that needs finished up from the other day ... plus, having been fertilized, it looks like it's growing fast enough that it could already be cut again ...

Also filled up hopper and two sunflower tube feeders. Need to put out some mealworms for the bluebirds today and put cleaned nest boxes back up. Also clean up sparrow trap.

Spraying on agenda for today due to no rain and low winds. Hopefully it will be dry enough to be able to get to the northeast corner of the pole barn barn and get that area sprayed.

More clean up around back, hopefully get board for shelf on Woman's planter cut along with legs for new saw horses.

Need to check garden to see what devastation the critters have wrought. Looked like a deer had busted the top off the zucchini plant when I was back there the other day. Have several zucchini and possibly yellow squash that should be ready to pick before they get too big.

Run box blade over driveway to clean up washouts from recent rains.

Need to run down to the gas station with the 5 gallons cans and get some gas for the Cub and the pressure washer. Cub closing in on the 100 hour mark.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Saturday ...

Good Morning
It’s 69 with as high of 83 forecast for today. Nice clear skies, first since Wednesday.

Yesterday was mostly spent in shop. Helped oldest son change secondary float bowl on the Holley carb on his ski boat. In the process of setting the float level, it dawned on me that the once ubiquitous Holley 4 barrel carburetor has become a dinosaur.

I accomplished my goal of getting the two speakers ready for pickup, so maybe I’ll have a goof off day today, but it’s hard for me to slow down, I guess I’m afraid I might like it. I might go look at a used excavator with a friend today, I hope it’s nice and he buys it. It would be a nice addition to the neighborhood.

The Holleys are certainly easy to set the float level and nearly any other function.

83 and sunny, got 1/2” of rain from storms last night. Grass is sure green.
Been doing maintenance on the Toro today, new plugs, fuel filter and cleaned the foam air filter surround. Filter looks new. Wanted to change the oil but somebody rounded off the fitting on the drain hose. I’m just going to replace the plug with a valve.

Not much going on outside of that.

my brand new Lincoln grease gun has a dripping problem.
first I laid it on its side on the shelf and it dropped a big blob of green grease
on the floor below. Came out of air vent on opposite end of barrel. Ok, so it's like a chain saw which will drip in almost
any position except one golden angle. So I hang it by a clip in the other direction and within 30 seconds I see a drop forming on the bottom.
Not sure what I can do, yes it's hot in the garage but not super hot. So I put a paper towel under it for now and will see if it keeps leaking, which
I bet it will. Then I'll get out an oil mat sheet, not much else to do. Messy items.

Just bbqued 11 lbs of pork chops and a 20+ pack of Nathan's hot dogs. Got some kids coming over later.
Wifey taking a nap. I sure wish I could easily take a 30 minute nappy. I can't turn the light switch off that fast.
