Drinking first cup of coffee. 45° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 73° with plenty of sunshine. Yesterday's visit to East side of Metro area was very nice. Met with my wife's cousin that she stood up with at her wedding when she was 16. Lived on that side of town for 30 years. Had a good lunch and did a walk in local park. Plus a drive along Jefferson Ave. It is along Lake St. Clair. One side of road is the lake. Other side is all the old homes from the early auto industry. Only bad was it took me over 2 hours to make trip home in the evening. Lots of traffic.
Going to get my Covid Booster Shot today. No other plans.
Turkeys are almost fully grown.

Roy good news. Prayers for wife's surgery and recovery.

Wngsprd, the Hawks at my feeders help to control the large amount of Sparrows that show up each day. Hope roofing gets done with no rain.

LS, hope you got pellet cleaned. Need to spread seat time out for most enjoyment.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

 

[wngsprd]

62 going to 73.

Prayers for BEF wife and Roy wife surgery today.

Ron, sounds like a nice visit yesterday...Jefferson Avenue sounds nice. Good luck on your booster shot.

RS, does that firewood dry okay wrapped up in plastic? Looks like a nice way to keep it from falling over.

Soon after I posted yesterday afternoon, felt and heard the first rumble of thunder and then lightning. Roofers got the tarps in place as the rain fell and rushed off the roof as lightning flashed...fortunately only lasted a few minutes and got less than a tenth of an inch. They kept working until sunset.

Roy, hope wife’s surgery goes well.

Last time we had to be there at 6:30 am for wife’s surgery, today’s is later.

Wngsprd, glad roof is progressing and they got it covered in time.

Pictures are working again for me after clearing the cache in the tbn app.

good morning all
much cooler morning, not even getting to 70 today, looks like temps are finally coming down, though
it has been just beautiful weather here for the last week. My time of year, not too hot, not too cold.
And the leaves are starting to come down.

Roy, best wishes for successful day today and wife healing quickly.

Might work on a small carpentry project today for church. Bottoms of wood pillars holding up porch had some
rot in trim boards, pulling them off and replacing with expanded white pvc. I took a piece over to porch and it matches existing
white paint perfectly. Pieces I'm cutting are about 6x7 inches, and I have to make 45 degree corners for sides of each piece.
Might head back over today and take very careful measurements. It's either build the "enclosure" here in shop except for last piece, or do
it all custom onsite. It would be nice if both pillars were identical, of course they aren't, as flagstone laid right up to pillar has variances so I will have
to cut to fit. Hopefully I can get good measurements and build remotely, install on site.

this project was a good excuse to buy a replacement Bosch jigsaw, which was previously sold when I moved. Top rated, medium size, not too expensive and very powerful, got an assortment
of Bosch blades to go with it. Looked long and hard at cordless Makita model, but twice as expensive for just tool. I had such good luck with prior Bosch figured
I'd stick with it. Bosch makes some really fine tools and not crazy priced like Festool. Pretty hard to go wrong with most major brands.
Skill of woodworker more the issue and clearly my issue.

I've never worked with plastic before but told it works just like wood. If i chicken out, or ruin the first one, I may run them up to Popgadget's shop for help.
I was going to take my small Makita air compressor over to church, along with pneumatic gun for construction adhesive, and my pin nailer.
Kinda wonder how a pin nailer does with 1/2" pvc plastic. Plus a bunch of clamps to hold it all together.

41F clear sky upper 50's for high cloudy late afternoon maybe passing shower.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...take trimmer for short walk and get critter food also putter.

Enjoy the day all.

Good Morning.
It’s 50 and not going to make it to 70 with clear skies today.
Yesterday we had some brief but strong showers totally a little less than 1/2”.
I picked up some $105 per sheet Baltic Birch and got it all cut up and dado’d. At that price, I definitely measure twice before cutting.
After the rain, spread some stone and leveled a pad for a neighbor that has a prefab shed coming.

Today I’m off to Manchester, NH for the day. Drew, if you get stuck, you know where to find me, but not today.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 4AM. Mainly sunny. High 84F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Beautiful day yesterday, in spite of the wind and the Red Flag Warning. Temps were low enough that jeans felt better than shorts, and the air remained crystal clear.

I like my Bosch corded tools, Drew. Their carbide tipped masonry drills are the best and their blades aren't bad either, but I try to stick with Lenox bi-metal when I can.

Got a call from someone that said they were from the county health department, inviting me to come down for a CV19 vaccine shot. I inquired about the Moderna booster, but she had no info. Sounds like they're just calling everyone, without first checking if they've already been vaccinated. Maybe they don't have access to those records because of HEPA? County supervisors met yesterday to consider a new mask mandate to help slow the spread of CoVid, but deferred to the health department instead. News story on TV showed residents speaking at the meeting, and it looked like half were for, half against, any kind of mandate. Number of hospital admissions is down very slightly, but ICU bed availability is still very tight.

Tire mounting went smoother than expected yesterday. One was tubed, and always takes more time fiddling with the valve stem, especially with the very stiff sidewalls on the dual sport tires. The other was tubeless and had me wondering if I should convert the other over, but relacing to the proper rims would be quite costly. Maybe I should start playing the lottery?

Looks like it's cooling off enough to start thinking about a few painting projects here. I picked up a larger tank for the white bike last month, so ordered materials for it. Pump house trim needs painting, as does the very rusty 5x8 utility trailer, and then there's the body stripe on the van. All they're waiting on is me to get a Round Tuit.

Happy Hump Day, folks!

Morning, chilly today-48 going up to 69-fall is certainly here.
Can't wait for the leaves to fall so I can get into building more trails.

Saw a rabbit yesterday, so fox's did not get them all...

BEF - Hope wife surgery goes perfectly
RS- nice transformation on the building and you remind me I need to screen some soil for fill.
Roy - our thoughts for your wife, and glad you are in a better place today
Drew- I found with plastics you need to run the blade slower to not fuse/melt the edges
PopG - $105 a sheet - ouch - Have a safe flight

Stay safe and be well

 

[daugen]

going to buy another Powerball ticket this morning.
How else am I going to buy you all new tractors?

Ken, good advice, thank you. Not sure I can, but will if possible.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 68˚F, heading to the upper 80s cloudy with a chance of rain. We had 1.88" of rain last night!!!!

FireWise went really well yesterday, even though the temps got up to 80˚F in the morning. We had 15 people and finished the cedar area that had a lot of dead broken limbs from last winters storm.

Got my last free oil change at the Ford dealership and did a Costco run yesterday. They were out of Kirkland TP but still did have a small quantity of Scott and Charmin. They seemed to have most everything else, except a color ink cartridge for my HP printer.

Today is the first meeting of the Garden's - Plant-Based Eating Special Interest Group. They have sent out e-mails and will be following the plant pure communities guidelines. In this group plant-based means no animal products.

Drew good luck with the powerball ticket, I'm saving my golf cart garage for that new little tractor.

Roy, hope you wife comes fixed out of surgery so she can start to heal.

Covid cases continue to decrease but the community assoc. has implemented face mask for all meetings starting yesterday.

 

[Bird]

Yesterday morning the weather forecast called for a 20% chance of rain and then we had a brief shower that produced about one tenth of an inch, which makes .22" for the month for me. And the forecast was for a 50% chance of rain today, and now they've moved that forecast up until tomorrow; just clear skies today.

But at least temperatures in the upper 60s and lower 70s makes it seem very nice. Don, I went to Walmart this morning, but since I'm well stocked on paper products, I forgot to even look to see how well Walmart was stocked.

 

[daugen]

bought Powerball ticket, who knows. Don, keep the garage light on.
shelves at Giant had some bare spots, cheapest hamburger was 5.50 a pound.
Signs up saying shortages on Boars Head lunchmeat.
Almost no employees wore masks; I did.

beautiful bright blue sky
think I'll go wash the car to keep me outside.

Good morning, my wife said, “we need to get out more, we’re acting like our house dog’s”

Last word I got from Stepdaughter (who's at the hospital) that Suzette may be kept overnight. Not sure why, since a broken ankle is normally an outpatient issue.
I may have to have a chat with the doctor...

Boy, with my stay (in the hospital) a couple months ago, and Suzette's current injury, this is going to be an expensive year for medical bills. Fortunately, as she's full time retired, she's on Medicare A and B

67°F and .22 inches rain. Finally, a sun shining morning.
Spent too much time at neighbor’s yesterday. He is lending me his trailer to pick up Mule on Friday. He wants to go with me. This price of something free . I do believe my head will be hurting after 4 hours.

Took Sophie out for lobster dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary tomorrow. The restaurant only does lobster on Tue by special order. Excellent.

Back in caretaker unit today.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[sodamo]

Drew, hope. It’s OK, the new tractor, BX2380 is on order so just a check will be fine.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Happy Anniversary tomorrow!!
