Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

45F and clear @ 20:30, heading down to an overnight low of around 38F.

Hopper feeder refilled first thing.

After that I started mowing the front lawn to kill a little time before getting cleaned up.

Then finalized and placed Menards order, restocked on sunflower and safflower seed so probably good for a month on bird food.

After that I shaved and grabbed a shower and headed off to get the flu vaccination, was in and out for that pretty quick. Made another appointment for next week for check up and meds while I was there.

Headed over to Menards once I was done with the medical stuff and picked up order.

Called Woman on way home and asked to Her to fire up the oven and stick a piece of leftover pizza in it to warm up for when I arrived. Never have to worry about going hungry when She's on the case - there were two pieces wrapped in foil sitting on the stovetop when I rolled in.

She had gotten Water Buffalo moved over to the barn with the Cub so it can be refilled + the weeds cut down around the hydrangeas while I was gone and had a dump cart full of weeds, leaves, and debris.

After eating (only one piece) I headed out and took the dump cart up to the compost pile and emptied it.

Then I used the Kubota and the PHD to drill four holes: one for the Red Bush, two for the hydrangeas, and a "bonus hole".

Then we got the last Red Bush planted and watered in near the first one that we planted yesterday. Still to pick up the rocks and stones:

​

About the time we were finished with that the neighbor lady came by walking her dogs so I got rid of the most of the screened compost still in the bucket in two of the other holes and started mowing the front lawn while The Woman visited.

Worked on that using the lights until about 18:00, got it a little over half done. Probably finish it up tomorrow.

Japanese Cherry (middle) and Red Maple (behind the Japanese Cherry) we planted yesterday, with peach tree from last year in the foreground:

No damage to either of those trees yet - but the deer were already pawing the dirt in less than 24 hours (probably looking for grubs) so we'll need to get them caged up, probably tomorrow.

Woman ran over to Maki House and picked up dinner, She tried the beef teriyaki this time ... said it was good.

Hope everyone had a great Monday ...

This is from gen thread here on TBN. One member is Generac repairman.
kaboom
of course inquiring minds want to know why this 1000cc twin blew a hole in
its block. Am surprised no oil showing on outside. Good thing that case held its parts inside.
Blew off the trim rim below. I have owned this same gen several times, not what I think Generac will put
on their brochure next year

can't wait for pics of inside

That one was hit by a car.

Makes a lot more sense. The force was from the outside inward, engine parts trying to escape would be traveling in the opposite direction.

That one was hit by a car.

Was the big tire mark on the outside a clue?

42 right now...not going to get too much warmer with a high of 46 today.

Got a couple webinars, but, if possible, I'm going to try to fit in a dump run since I didn't do it last Saturday. While I'm out, I'll get a couple gallons of gas for the ZTR and, most importantly, VOTE!!!!

interesting morning, good morning all

Powerball broke, no drawing last night. Most unusual.

Pic of the gen was reported as explosion, then corrected hours later to a car driving around a post and hitting gen.
I was curious, since there was no oil on outside of case, tire marks make sense now.
actually better, none of us want our gens blowing up.
Sorry for the misinfo, GIGO.

very warm day yesterday, like others may have set a record. Finally had to put a/c back on.
And of course get up in middle of night and turn the heat back on.
much cooler today, 45 going up to 58 in sunshine.

I learned last time not to show up early at polls across the street. I'll vote after lunch where there is no one there.
Of course, perhaps I should vote early and vote often...
Important elections here in Pa, doesn't seem any different to me.
Lot of folks saying it's the end of the world but I'll fix it and vote for me.
nothing new

have to keep remembering what holds us together vs what keeps us apart.

have a great day

Prayers for all, Toppop family and Ellen thinking of them this morning all those who are sick, Scaredy our Country

Going to vote later today the right thing to do

Poured first cup of hot coffee. 33° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 53° with lots of sun. Finished up getting garden pond ready for winter. When I came in house found water on floor. Sassy looked at me. With the I didn't do it look. It was from the Fridge freezer. Fridge locked it to a defrost mode and thawed everything in freezer in less than 24 hours. Threw everything out and cleaned whole fridge inside and out. Turned back on. It worked. But will not maintain temperature in freezer. Varies from -2°F to 31°F. I have thermometers in both compartments that read to my iPhone. Have been having problems with freezer not hold temperature for a while. Called repairman. I have been running house on Generator and DTE (local power company). Generator will not run auto run until power gets below 95 VAC. Full voltage came on about 6PM yesterday. Fridge is old. Probably time for a new one. No plans for today.
Got picture of full moon before Eclipse started. Then clouds moved in.

If you have not voted yet. Now is your chance.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.
