Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

28 and cloudy @ 15:30 with occasional light flurries coming down. Headed down to a low 19F overnight. One more day of cold weather in the Ten Day.

Hopper feeder and deer feeder refilled yesterday. Switched over to sunflower hearts on this last order to eliminate the mess of all the shells/husks.

More cleaning done in fish room, may continue with that this afternoon.

Worked on cleaning out emails last night ... had >8,500 unread emails in the inbox, managed to reduce it to 1,999 by the time I knocked off. Will probably have another go at it this evening.

Hopefully finish up plant/seed/bulb orders this afternoon.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday !

33F cloudy low 20's over night.

No lawn raking etc. done today since old man winter show up and his side kick the wind so good time sort clean wildlife files.

Motionless evening plan for now.

Enjoy your evening all.

Good morning And evening all! What a beautiful day here in NE Tasmania... a cool 5C at 0515 when I got up for church (@0900) and it warmed up to a calm, cloudless, 25C.

Everything is back in its place or returned after last Sunday's gathering. I'm looking to to do a mowing around the property (Z-turn FUN!) plus chain-harrow/mow paddocks 1 & 2. Gorgeous early Autumn weather.

Ah Wagtail. I know the ZT feeling well now. I went out yesterday just to trim a little area and finished up mowing about 2 1/2 acres, all with a grin on my face and a little dog sitting between my feet.
What I like is that areas I used to do with the tractor and flail, I can now do faster with the ZT, and it looks like lawn, not just a mown paddock.
Now just have to tidy my shed. Contemplating a pool table (used to have one during my 1st marriage) and a hoist and wheel balancer. Just need to check what reaction I get from a second party.

28° and snowing big flakes. Sure wish this would had been predicted Friday when I left. Light coating here, but at least 6” on the path home. Traffic cams shows covered roads in the mountains.

Wished I hadn’t come. My cold is at the many tissue stage now. Hope dad doesn’t catch it. I been sitting on other side of room from him.

Son made it back to TN last night. Other son is taking care of the cats at home.

Hope your dad avoids the sniffles mate. Grab a can of Glen 20 and spray it around occasionally. Kills those bugs.

aaaahh.
We have that saying: "prophet at his own house is not recognized"

I did't knew it's branded "Baltics" now.
Actually, it's not "Baltic", but solely Latvian. A/S Latvijas Finieris (finieris.com) is world's biggest BIRCH plywood factory. Their HQ is like 10 km from my home.
I have supplied 2 big CNC machines for their "daughter" which does further machining of panels. That "daughter" is not selling plain "panels" anymore, but already products: acoustic walls, concrete form-works (shuttering), trailer floors, etc For the latest I mentioned - normally at US you put on your trailer's decks softwood timber. Quite thick. We instead put 12 ... 18 mm thick plywood covered with anti-slip fenol resin soaked mesh film. It's lighter, more durable. For instance 18 mm thick 1200 X 2400 mm coverd with Riga Hex panel costs ~ 60 $. And it wil last lifetime

As it normally is, big whale is surrounded by bunch of smaller fishes here we have handful of smaller companies, making interesting consumer products from birch veneer.
Good friend of mine runs company, which makes bicycles out of birch plywood: https://legandgo.com/
Really quality product. My own twin boys rode that thing like crazy. They used to jump on speed bumps like that frame become straight

And we can make really nice looking furniture out of birch plywood- interesting shapes, lightweight, strong. here are some of my pictures - most challanging pieces for painting robot

Sorry for derailing this topic. But as this is topic about literally everything, I am not very sorry

Do those chairs have an identifying mark on them where they are made. I think I saw some in Texas.

Morning all! Another beautiful day, intermittent overcast with light wind. Overnight low of only 14C, 22.4C right now. Apparently the Aerodrome received 0.2mm of rain last night... I'll have to check my gauge.

Not much on for a Monday but the Post Office texted that I have a couple of cases of wine to pick up.

Hope you feel better soon BEF

Yes, m_g, we're into early Autumn and, yes, the not-so low overnight temps are very nice. I won't have to put a fire on until (cross-fingers) late April.

Oh, and there was nothing in my rain gauge so the Aerodrome must have copped a wee coastal sprinkle.
