Good morning!!!!

[Alien]

Jobs done for the day. Fitted gas struts on the hood of the Mustang. Fueled up the tractor. Did a short video with the drone. Nothing interesting. Just giving it a fly around and learning its' quirks.

Up a bit too early for a weekend day...

64° right now...high in the low 80's today...

Got very little done yesterday since my arm was so achy, even after a couple aspirin...thought movement would work out the achiness, but that didn't happen. Much better this morning, so maybe I'll actually get something done today.

Was up at 0400...way too early for a weekend day, so back to bed for a while...

65 and thick fog...from the heavy 3.5" of rain yesterday.

Found a new leak . May need Thomas to the rescue.

Roy, I've been up since 4, too. But drinking coffee, so no back to bed.

Alien, I enjoyed your drone flight...I thought it looked awfully dry until I remembered it's winter down under. What is that big white square in the opening off in the distance?

Rain stopped late in the afternoon, and the beekeeper came with a heat sensor plug-in for his android phone...looking for the heat signal of the bees inside the tree...brought his wife and daughter and we all talked for an hour...swapped interesting bee and bear stories...coming back Monday after work to try a queen capture and hive removal.

First cup of coffee is cooling. 65° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 89° with sunshine and some clouds. Got new door for chicken coup built yesterday. Danby is recalling a bunch of dehumidifiers because of fire problems. Mine was on the list. Went to Menards and got a new one. While there bought a new battery for Mule. It's bigger than original. Got it installed. Going to get coat of primer on coup door today. May watch some NASCAR in afternoon.
Anybody home.

Alien, good flight. Today may be a good one for me to fly my drone.

Roy, like Wngsprd. I started drinking first cup of coffee. Will not fall back to sleep.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

good morning all. Wished we had gotten a little more of the local rain, Toppop got it all, only .22 here last night.
Today looks nice, sunny and highs in the 80's

trash hauler shut down business in our area, pulling back to a territory further North closer to their office, they blame it on Covid
and lack of workers. Signed up with another firm, they won't come for three weeks, now what to do with this trash in the meantime.
Our township has no dump at all...

Nice video Alien. Speaking of videos, Ken send me your email address so I can forward the pics Popgadget took while flying over your house yesterday.
What a pretty place and very nicely landscaped in the woods. Exactly where I'd want to be if not on a farm.
It really was a nice party, spent a lot of time talking to a retired LEO from NJ. Of course a couple of rum drinks helped the mood. I drink very little so two of those
is definitely my limit if I'm driving home anywhere. I took Aquetong Road home, past the farm where I grew up,
avoiding most of the tourists on the other main roads. Saturday afternoon and nice weather
in a touristy area, oh my the cars. And the motorcycles.

air quality down to 30, sky looks bluer than it has in weeks.

Makes me long for the days of a baker’s dozen for $1.

When I was little, mom would pile me into the car early on a summer morning before it got hot outside and then drive us out into the country to a farmer's road side shed. She'd sort through the ears, opening the end a little bit on each one looking for missing kernals or bugs. It was fresh picked that morning, and put that baker's dozen into a brown paper shopping bag. Then back home, she shucked it and put the ears in the refrigerator until dinner time. Wow, that was some great corn. And it only cost a doller, but then that was when gas was twenty-five cents a gallon. These days I feel fortunate when the corn is packed on ice, and there's still some ice left. I don't pay much attention to the cost, but I think last time I did, it was fifty to seventy-five cents an ear. And Diesel #2 us up over four-fifty a gallon.

Sign of the times RNG and to think I’m fussing at $3.05 a gallon diesel
