Condolences for your family. Sounds like the kind of man that didn't want to be a burden to others. A quality that we should all aspire to. Rest in peace.
Good morning!!!!

Good morning, the low temp is 55 and going to a high of 63°F. Wind ESE 11 mph. 30% chance of showers.
I still have the genny to fix, but almost everything else is done.
Wood in basement and furnace purring along nicely.
Mess from wood cleaned up and driveway regraded for winter. I have to take the rock bucket down the driveway and uproot the really big (3"+) rocks, then probably regrade again.
Snow tires on Dodge and ready for winter.
I was given 3 of 3 shelf shelving units, just had to put floors in them and have utilized them in the Dodge garage for holding the oils, grease and windshield washer juice for the Dodge, Z-turn, back hoe.
A little over 100 gallons of fuel in the tank, should hold me for a while. About $3,000.oo worth of credit with the supplier.
Sorry about your FIL, check. May he rest in peace.
Have a safe day all

Sorry for your loss Check.
Best thing I did was install the blower! The temps have jumped up into the 50's and 60's and the forecast shows warm weather for the distant future.
Things have been pretty much routine around here with yard work and normal living. That is till yesterday. We where out on our normal 3 mile walk when my wife stepped into a pothole by accident and twisted her ankle and fell straight to the ground. Trip to urgent care shows a broken bone with orthopedic surgeon consult tomorrow. She is in extreme pain with her shoulder, arm and side catching her fall. Looks like a long 6 to 8 weeks coming!
Good thing I'm doing ok. Doctor changed my blood pressure med and my finger pain disappeared in a few days! I have been complaining about this forever! If anyone is on Atenolol for blood pressure and has joint pain they should talk with their doctor. I feel so good I'm setting up and cleaning my wood shop. Want to start making things on my medium wood lathe again. Hopefully pain free in the hands for a while! Still have issues with my feet but I can manage with that.
Oh well! Off to perform slave duties (LOL)for the next couple of days as she is not allowed to move till we hear from the doc.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good Morning
It’s 61 and not really moving throughout the day. another foggy morning, clearing later today.
Yesterday went by pretty quickly, still cleaning up from the weekend’s festivities. The 5 gallon water heater in the shop is fine for washing hands, but when I do anything significant in the big concrete slop sink, I run out of hot water pretty quickly. Cleaning a dozen chafing dishes put me over the edge, I’m installing an 18kw tankless heater today. That will make over 2GPM of hot water continuously.
Still a few clean up tasks, but they are dwindling. Still have to return my buddy’s Sprinter, and have to consolidate a lot of trash and recycling and get it to the street tomorrow.
Have an eye doctor appt this am, after that, I’ll get to work.

Good morning
61 with 97% humidity. So warm it woke me up early.
Chicken waterer has a leak, 16 gallon tub leaked out in a couple days, so I pulled it out of the coop and will look for the leak to get that sorted out. Cleaning the garage so I can pull the truck in to deal with the seized caliber.

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 5:15AM.
A mix of clouds and sun. High 71F. SSE winds shifting to WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Looks like chances for rain, both here and over on the coast, have been pushed back into the middle of next week. I'm not complaining, other than that we do need the rain as wildfire potential remains very high.
Sorry to hear all the bad news out there, and hope things straighten out soon.
I keep trying different things to get the walkie talkie working, but it's proving very good at not cooperating. Looking for a replacement of the whole comm system, and good to find out that tech support from one candidate consists of nincompoops. Better to find out now than after a big purchase.
Got a couple riding buddies showing up here tomorrow night for dinner and a sleep over, breaking up what would otherwise be a long trip for both. They'll have to toss a coin to see who ends up on the sofa.
Welcome aboard, new folks. Always room for one more...
Happy Hump Day, all!

Good morning. Surprisingly warm this morning 55 going to early 60's
Slept in a little longer than normal. Felt pretty good. Walked Cody and fed the cats. Still planning to deliver the bike to our daughter either today or tomorrow. Always hate the drive down through the beltway to Alexandria but the drive along the Parkway makes up for it being very scenic.
Trying to avoid having to get fill dirt delivered for the area where the firewood shed is going to go so I am targeting a sloped area on the property for the fill dirt. But first I am setting up some stakes and getting the laser level set up to see how much is really needed. There is a limit to how many trips with the tractor I would want to make. As an alternative I could rent a dump trailer that can hook up to the tractor perhaps.

Good morning! A chilling 39˚F after that strong cold front the other night, but not to worry about snow the wind has now shifted and is from the South with temps climbing to the mid 70s and clear skies.
Yesterday was one of those perfect tractor days, upper 60s, no dust, just a few people each trip, so strollers and round trips were welcomed. I even had to wear a jacket after sunset.
The only wind damage from the night before was a prop fence in the Wild West town was blown over, a port-a-can was blown over, two peach trees were downed and a few small limbs from the pecan trees were blown on the tractor trail.
They finally got all the boxed pumpkins out and displayed in the pumpkin patch and it is looking good for this the last weekend before Halloween of the Fall Festival. The Fall Festival will continue 2 weeks into November but at much shorter hours. The 9am to 10pm will cease.
On Black Friday the Christmas festival starts. The Pumpkin house transforms into a Gingerbread house and Santa and the real live Rain Deer visit on weekends. The thousands 1 and 2 year old planted and irrigated Cypress Christmas trees are only about 18" high and will not be ready to harvest until 2025.

62 going up to 68 and cloudy misty and wet.
Can't move leaf's, too wet out.
Took the dryer apart yesterday, found the front bearings are just plastic/teflon strips.
All worn out , new ones and their holder on order, about $150 :-( but still cheaper then $1000 for a new one.
Took more time to figure out how to get it apart since all the screws are hidden, then it did to break it down and put it together again.
Alien-sorry to hear about the bird, long lived ones like that become part of the family, sad.
Check - condolences for you FIL
Shared road yesterday
New electrician approved the junction box and cleared some bushes for me
Dryer during disassembly , from the back. Not sure what happened to the rest of the pics. But will have more when I disassemble again to put in the new parts.
