Doctor said 26% heart doing well considering with ICD and new pills, but I seem to tired easier etc....maybe age age has something to do with it. ;)
Same here...age has something to do with it, but I think it's more the ticker ain't what it used to be.
I'm relatively active (for my age), but I do have to stop and take a breath more often

71, trying to get to 100 to be in Don's elite company, but only gonna see 98, according to the weather folks that sent us under the house yesterday..."tornado warnings, seek shelter immediately" about 7pm. We gathered up some valuables and lantern, and into the crawl space...pretty good headroom in the first section. The tornado box and the arrow of direction came right over our place, so we took it seriously. We're glad it broke up and moved south, but wished we got more than .01" of rain. Rich, sorry your place took a hit. Hope you get power back soon.

Yep, Toppop, we're at that age where we get something fixed, like your eyes, and then something else goes haywire...we sound like old cars. Prayers said.

Thomas, keep on healing!

Roy, get well!

Buppies, drink a lot of water!

Put the lug into the tractor and took off to till another food plot. Got it planted as the storm was approaching...bought a seed mix from the local feed and seed store...Sunflower, Soybean, Cowpea, Millet, Buckwheat, Korean Lespedeza, Rape, Turnip, Chicory...a little something for everyone.

Good Morning.
It’s 70 and might make it to 90 today after the morning fog yields to clear skies.

Yesterday I was successful in picking up the plane from Greensboro. Technology has come a long way since I started flying, we now have on board lightning detection showing strikes as lightning bolts-

Satellite downlinked NEXRAD showing weather-

And onboard radar showing absolutely real time weather that we can tilt up or down to see if we will be over the weather.

At any rate leaving Greensboro and heading up to Philly yesterday, it nice to have a toolbox like that at my disposal!

Got home in time to do a few chores and get the trash and recycling down to the street. Cleaned out the rain collector on the Davis weather station. It’s old and clunky compared to the Tempest, but it sure is accurate.

When I saw the comment about 71 and hoping to make it to 100, I first thought it was referencing age, not temp.

I finally have some time to get some mowing done, I’m not going anywhere until Monday. Have a meeting on Tuesday, might have to a short trip Thursday, but then should have a week or two off.
Looks like I won the random drug test lottery (again), so that will give me something to do while I wait for the dew to dry off the grass.

Good morning! A surprising cool 72˚F heading to only 98˚. An off white cloudless sky.

I get a real estate report for this neighborhood on Friday mornings. It appears to be the end of the real estate boom here. 28 houses on the market just reduced their price between $20,000 and $50,000.

Popgadget, When driving I wish I had some of that technology on board to dodge the hail storms. Is there an app with that for apple CarPlay?

Good Morning!!!! 55F @ 5:30AM. Sunshine to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 76F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.
The wind's been making a racket all night. I'm with you, Ted, I hate wind!

Not again, Randy! Hope you're back on your feet in no time, and they spring you outa there real quick!

Maybe that was the same storm that hit us hard earlier in the week, Rich. Hope your cleanup doesn't bring you too many bad surprises.

Those are some pretty spiffy flying tools, Paul. It would be nice to have something like that on the bike, but the version Garmin sells for their GPS is not very good and costs a LOT of money. I put bird spikes on the rain collector of the Davis here to keep it from filling up with bird doody.

I think there's going to be a lot of disappointed house sellers out there, Don, with the interest rates headed up.

Speaking of GPS, I had to replace the bracket for the XM receiver because the last version vibrated enough to compromise reception. I think a piece of 16 gauge steel should solve that problem. Topped up air, oil, and gas on the bike, got it packed, and I'm headed out in a few hours for Lake Tahoe. Gonna be a brisk couple of nights up there, and I hope my host can find a warm corner somewhere for my sleeping bag.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

TGIF gang!
