BEF how long was train ride?

Looks very enjoyable

A three hour tour. Don’t go with Gilligan and the Skipper.

rswyan, BLO treatment??

Boiled Linseed Oil …

Those 2 x 8’s will be used as concrete forms across the overhead door openings.

The BLO will help to serve as a release for the boards once the ‘crete firms up and sets, allowing them to be removed.

Unbeliveably high beef prices at Costso. No wonder restaurant prices are so bad. Good thing I like chicken...

I just bought close to 40lbs of brisket for 3.89 lb. I thought that was pretty reasonable. They were whole packers, flats were almost twice that price.

Did try to get support from MS on groupme, not all text getting to me from groupme group, MS response not our problem. After getting app and looking at what did not come through, it probably was

Good (Saturday) evening. I'm back from the meeting in Longford. The overnight Low was a warm 16C and the High was 18C with rain all day, at times very heavy. I'll check my gauge tomorrow but a friend who also attended the meeting said that she had 35mm in her gauge at 0730. The drive there was pleasant... it was the drive home that got a wee bit hairy with big drops that SMACKED the windscreen and a few spots on the Esk Highway (100kph) where I had to slow to 40kph in order to traverse the flooding on the road.

Obviously, I'm safely home (with a glass of Pinot Noir in hand ), but my eyes are really 'scratchy' having to stare so far down the road looking for any hazards.

That's about it. Something light for tea tonight... take care all.

RNG, you've reminded me to get my fifth shot. I'm overdue.
Hopefully one can get the flu shot at the same time, though lots of opinions on that, including being able to know
which one you got a reaction from. I probably ought to get the shingles shot too.
I'd be glad to get a 5 in 1 combo shot every fall. I'd like the extra tracking chips please, since I get lost a lot...

Don, I used the extension mop I use to wash my car on the windows. Just use a squirt of straight car wash soap on it, just squirt if off
when done. I don't even squeegee, seems not to have any streaks.
I started out using a long pole to wash my boats 25 years ago. Have been using a pole to wash things for a long time, nicest ones were the marine
aluminum extension poles, built to last. Got a fairly cheap one now with a synthetic mop head, nice and soft on finish.
Helps not to do all that bending over.
Not sure how to get the middle of the roof without it.

Sister in law just informed me she has got shingles today. Photo looks pretty nasty. I had my shot a couple of years ago.

Step Daughter who is staying with us was running her 2 kids to school and collected a Wallaby sadly. It got a broken leg so we arranged for it to go to the Uni Vets. Think it will need put down. Daughter was extremely upset as she loves animals. She had caught it and was cuddling it when I arrived to help. Vehicle was quite OK surprisingly. No marks at all.
Still raining here in fits and starts. Light drizzle then a downpour and repeat. Can't do anything outside.

Yeah, It breaks my heart whenever that happens... a lot of them a suicidal and will come out of the side of the road into the vehicle before you have time to react.

38 high of 70 today getting dry again but grass still very green. Several jobs to go look at. Prayers for all silent or spoken our country

34 going to 69. More sunshine.

Popgadget...I think you could get into the wedding venue business...it all looks great.

Pennwalk...glad you're getting your daughter back to be nearer you. I've never bagged...the shredded grass and leaves make the best soil improvement possible around here. I used to rake all the leaves and then compost them...but found that less satisfactory than leaving them finely mulched in the yard.

BEF, looks like a great train excursion. We may have driven over top of you yesterday while you were in the tunnel...doing a loop on the Parkway from Afton to Whetstone Ridge, then down into the valley through Nellysford. At White Rock we hiked to a waterfall...my wife's first hike since finishing physical therapy and she did great. Treated her to a flight at both Veritas and Afton Mountain Vineyards afterwards to celebrate. I just ate her oyster crackers.
