Morning all! 34 heading to 60ish. Yesterday was cold ,windy and cloudy. Tomorrow could hit high 70's.
Stayed in the house and played in the wood shop. Hopefully today will be better so I can get more outside cleanup done. Green stuff is pushing up from the ground and soon we will have grass and flowers! Need to put down grub killer and reseed the back yard as it is all but destroyed.
Wife's voice is not improving and now she is having random dizzy episodes! We think it's due to the meds they are having her take. Need to follow up with the doctor. Could be allergy related also.
Not much else going on. Couple of flower beds need to be ripped up and replanted with new as they are going on 10 or so years old. Maybe start on that soon as weather allows.
Here are a couple of pics of the latest wood turnings:
Hope everyone stays safeand healthy!

good morning all
45 going up to 71, nice sunny day

Phil, hope your wife feels better soon.
Buppies, hope your morning starts better too.
My right hand is all swollen where I bashed the center of it changing mower blades, hard to make a fist now, but it will go away.
Headed back out to Gravely in a little bit to fool with the spark plugs, figure out what I did wrong.

Phil, where are you finding your wood supply/blanks?
looks like a lot of fun and every one is unique

pollen is covering everything outside, makes my eyes itch

gut is cooperating this morning, think I'm over that little episode.

David, please tell Sophie her BX looks extra nice.

Mostly getting it from the wood pile. Some is old stuff I had hanging around for years and some was given to me by other turners as a gift.
Mostly wood pile though!
I did find a local saw mill that I will check out this week.

Good Morning.
It’s 42 and going to a sunny 70 today.
Yesterday’s trip went well, I was hoping to see the rocket launch at cape canaveral, I was right there at the scheduled launch time, but it was delayed until we were on the ground in Palm Beach. You can see out route and the restricted airspace for the launch in the display, we were at 32,000 feet and just on top of a layer of clouds, it would have been awesome to see the rocket blast through them.

I did get home early enough to get the grill guard installed, I was impressed with the quality of it, it came with stainless hardware and even a drill bit and Allen wrench to install it. Messicks did a good job.

And spend some time with Zoe chasing her jolly ball.

Threw some hay down out of the loft, cooked dinner out on the grill and called it a day.

Today will be breakfast with the professor, some shop work while the dew dries up, then it’s time to hook up the progressive and do some mowing. A neighbor is bringing over the gas tank from his Massey 35 for me to braze up, he washed it with soap and water, I’ll fill it with CO2 just to be safe before I put a torch to it. Not sure what else I’ll get into, hopefully fly RC later in the afternoon.

Good morning, low temp is 26 and going to a high of 46°F. Wind NNE 2 mph. 40 % chance of showers, sunny right now.

I didn't get the car back yesterday, nor did I get a phone call saying they were keeping it overnight. I will get on their backs this morning, shortly.

Kilroy, any woman that you are married to (or otherwise) that suggests you and her go shopping for a mini-ex is a keeper in my book.

I think I will be working on the V-plow today.

Have a safe day all

Good morning, 51 going to 82 today nice day

Worked on the fence poles and got 3 of them in. They are heavy but managed with using left arm mostly. Doing a few a day should be doable.
Used the digging bar to open up the holes with hard clay and rocks helps a lot.
Today I have an appointment for a stress test at the Cardiologist doctor.
Will see what else I can get into today.
Kil, my wife said to get the excavator because to live around here you need all the help you can get as you get older and it is used for much more than just digging.
PG that grill guard looks great. Mine got damaged and it is difficult to heat enough to straighten. I have the big rosebuds but not enough tank size to make it safe. May be Messicks has one for my tractor.

Morning all, 42 going up to 71 and sunny.
Took it easy yesterday, but did pick up some driveway patch to fill in a few holes.

More stuff blooming-still have lots of trimming and such as everything is growing like mad.

Phil hope the wife feels better

Be well,
