Good morning!!!!

[check]

Good evening. Sad day today. FIL died this morning. He was 92, and it was not unexpected. Fortunately, he died with little or no pain, and he had already said that he was ready for it. His family members were around him when it happened, so we can take heart in the fact that he had a “good death“.

He lived independently right up until the time he had to go into the hospital a few days ago. That was also in line with his wishes. The last thing he wanted to do was to be stuck in some sort of complex care facility on all kinds of machines and what not, instead of his own private little one bedroom suite at the retirement residence.

Rest in peace, Ray.

When I went to the horse lot last night it look like the storm dumped about 2" of rain and the dust was gone.

good morning all
up early, wow it's warm out, 61 out now going up to 68 in fog.

sorry for loss of family Check. I'd sure like to make it to 92 with my marbles and health intact.

it's tulip day for me, have about 80 bulbs to plant.
this is when I go to plant them, forget what else is "under there" and find myself digging up some other bulb.
Delicious deer food. At least using a cordless drill and planting auger makes planting easy to do, and ground is sure wet out there now.

really like my Lavazza coffee in the morning, but wish they didn't grind it so fine. Clogs up the coffee maker and makes a mess to clean out.
But still good...
I buy what's on sale. That used to be six bucks a pound. Now decent coffee starts at 9 dollars a pound.
I could get all I want free from my friends who own a coffee business, but that would get me an award for being a coffee mooch.
Granted they get lots of free samples.

Coffee is brewing. 57° with rain this morning. Heading to 59° with continued rain and wind. Leaves are falling very fast off trees. Trak-vac would not start. Wire connector broke off on/off switch. In between rain drops will blow leaves away from buildings. Getting ready for pickup with Trak-Vac.
Yesterday mornings sunrise had great color.

Thanks everyone for the Welcome Backs.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

58 and fog, going to 69 and cloudy. Won't get a sunrise like Ron's, but maybe a sunset today.

Check, sorry about your wife's dad.

When I had our well pump replaced this summer, bought their 1 year maintenance contract to get a discount on the pump, and ended up saving money. Part of that deal includes a free inspection. So had the plumber come in at 8:30 yesterday morning. Very thorough check of all plumbing inside and under the house. Since he was here, asked him to price swapping out a hose bibb...the old one leaked when running, and I had exhausted my ability to find parts for it (a brand he had never heard of, either...and it wouldn't take the standard Woodford parts). I had already replaced one that was easy to crawl to, but this one was in a very tight area, and he was up for it. I already had a Sharkbite so install went fast, and no more leak.
