Thomas,

Hope your Woman gets immediate relief on the pain and has a quick recovery.

RS, plastic pallets are a great idea. Good find

Drew,

Seeing the same thing here out in the front lawn.

Bottom end - where I did not put down milky spore - has been torn up really bad. Probably the worst I have ever seen it.

I assume it was by the deer, but could have been skunks or some other critters I suppose.

As far as getting rid of them, you could always try putting down milky spore - it's not a chemical pesticide - just a natural bacteria that will proliferate and spread and kill off the grubs.

Yeah they look to be pretty solid, will see how they hold up.

BTW - never weighed the summer squash ... but we got a good bit of it.

We have a real nice looking Strawberry Crown winter squash I've been meaning to take a picture of to post.

Good morning! 53˚F heading to 90˚.
At the farm they started planting strawberry plants in mid September. They were brought in on flats, they have about 4 leaves on each plant. They sit on a manual planting machine behind the New Holland tractor that pokes holes in the plastic row and then they put the plant in the hole. They were averaging a row a day. The rows are about 1000' long, about two acres. They finally finished planting yesterday. The irrigation system seems to be working good and all the new plants are not wilted in this dry weather. They should be ready to pick in March.

Wngsprd, maybe with the mask the good face painters can come up with something that won't scare the pre-schoolers. I might have to take a character out of Drew's family tractor book. Or just wear a bandana like the cowboys wore in the dusty cattle drives.

Thomas, I hope by now they have treated your wife and she has some relief.

Just thought I'd start a Good Morning thread. Dry, and headed into the low 60's here in S. Michigan. Have a good one!!

Good morning. Upper 50's, dry in central Ohio. Couldn't ask for a better start to harvest this past week. Thank the Lord.

Good Morning Everyone

I'm way behind in thread again, so best shot ... Catching Up Is Hard To Do. Well, okay, more precisely Keeping Up ...

I took the Kimber apart to see if I could lighten the trigger pull. It’s advertised as 7lbs, but mine had a measured average of just about 10lbs. No grittiness,d or creep, just a hard pull.I did get it down to just under 5lbs which is a lot more reasonable. No parts changed, just “tweaked” things a bit.

NOW I know where and how, he gets his name

Wife's Birthday today, she's on her way home from Prince George (8 hr trip) with her dad now. So any birthday plans that I had for us are essentially awash, she won't be home until after dinner. She's basically been gone for 11 months, so I had plans for a day out with her, dinner, hotel and catch up time just the 2 of us. The great escape will be delayed. However I did ace it, I think, in the gift department. (and balloons count as blow up toys don't they ? - well, that's my story anyway.

I need a nap, or coffee. I think nap is winning. It's still too early to call it morning.

Good Morning!!!! 67F @ 5:30AM.
Sunny to partly cloudy. High 92F. Winds light and variable.

Hoping you get some good news soon, Thomas.

Many of the plastic pallets I've found out here, RS, have been embrittled by the sun and won't take much abuse from a stray pallet fork. But at three bux apiece, they were worth taking a chance.

Chased my tail on paperwork for most of yesterday. For example, got a "bill" from UPS with a two cent credit, the result of some class action lawsuit. Wasted more than two cents worth of time trying to figure that one out.

Putting together some plans for a couple days in the mountains peeping at the changing aspen leaves. I keep meaning to do it every year, but haven't been able to make the time. Maybe this is the year?

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
