Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

67°F, overcast but no rain.

Successful trip to town - 8 stops.

Need to relook my temp gate post fix, not looking like it will last until I can weld it, likely Sat. Might have to get creative.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Kyle hope your kids were not on this bus. Did they ever find out what she was taking or if it was a medical incident?

Cedarciding at FireWise this morning served a dual purpose, reduced the fire load and cleared obstructions in the streams flood path. 70˚F partly cloudy.

Returned from town from PT with instructions on how to continue at home from now on. Got the date wrong on the booster shot so that is now next week. Stopped for pick up a prescription but it was not ready.

Saw a mini-x used to pull underground cables by lifting one side of it to have the track off the ground and using the track to loop the cable and pull it. Neat

A chilly 43F @ 13:30 with some showers in the vicinity. Calling for a high of 46F.

Local weather forecaster mentioned last night that this will be the coldest May 2nd in the last 113 years.

Big swing coming in the Ten Day though ... calling for highs in the upper 70's by next Monday/Tuesday.

Will definitely be welcome ...

Woman heading off this afternoon for a dental appointment.

I'll be heading up to the shop here in a few to see what I can get done up there today.

A few pictures of the Spring blooms here, taken the other day:

Have spotted a new bird here that I have never seen before. Appears to be an Eastern Towhee:

Just left the roto rooter Dr. 2 tiny polyps removed. I can eat in an hour.
Did you want pics?

A rotor rooter POV video of the procedure would be better. I hope the polyps are benign.

Was a nice nap, and I have Dr order to fart away.

Afternoon all!
50 and above with off and on showers in the forecast for the week. Can't do deck repairs so I decided to put the teeth on the bucket and do a little kubotatilling in the garden. We won't plant till the end of the month but it feels good to move some dirt! Will grab the roto tiller in a few weeks for final prep.
Nothing in the woodshop as I'm fighting a tweaked muscle in my neck that won't let me keep my head down for long periods. Did order a filtration system though as I'm sick of all the dust! Better today than yesterday so I will just go slow for the rest of the week.
Doctors visit tomorrow for setting up another endoscopy. Need to stay ahead of things!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!


I did manage to make this last week.

First one I told Dr I had to go to the bathroom...he laughed "no you don't just let it go". I could of inflated the Goodyear blimp. The second one a different woman Dr left a long piece of string with foil tape every foot! . I have no idea what that was and neither did my family doctor!

This is my 3rd or 4th. My oldest sister died of colon cancer when she was my age.
I was on 3 yr schedule, now 5.

Overcast day and chilly.

First time with both cats on my lap at same time.

Contented.

 

[Thomas]

Several years ago we had a cat that came down from the neighbor and stayed with us. Neighbor came and got him several times but he always escaped and returned to stay with us and they finally gave up and left him with us. He was a big white cat and we called him Kitty. He usually slept with his legs sticking straight up.

He knew where the good life is.

Hoping you step out of tunnel real soon into light Scaredy.

Thomas bear came by yesterday silent attack on bird feeder again. This time from different direction. Birds were really mad when we got back from lunch

Sounds like Mr. or Ms. Bear setting pattern...could get interesting.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Just saw one of these on a pickup for hauling trash can. They make a dual one to.

I don’t have bird feeders (other than ones I use in the chicken coop ) but I have pondered a way of making them bear resistant/bear-proof.

basically, you need two trees/poles, fasten one end about 15-20 feet up, run the line through a clothesline pulley on the second pole (or even use two pulleys). Fasten your feeders every couple feet along the line, then raise them up. If it is too much weight, maybe some 3/16 steel cable and a boat winch.

just a thought….

Hmmm...interesting idea.
