speaking of rain, this is not appealing.
looks like I have to drive in this to OBX on Friday
looks like a serious downpour
at least it's not a hurricane

guess I'd better enjoy the dry weather until then

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly…).

52.9F going to mid 70s, partly/mostly sunny all day.

admin runs went well, including stop at a thrift that relocated to an inconvenient location that we happened to be near. 50% off day plus some other specials. Got a half-dozen articles of clothing for a buck, a snow shovel for $3, and a large green Tupperware dough bowl with lid identical to one my grandmother had for $2. Minor puttering around house followed, did not go up to woodlot.

today starts off with dropping Harry off for a couple days of boarding for a few days as Mom will be staying over for a few days, hen Bailey goes to vet for blood work prior to dental cleaning (due to anaesthetia) next week, then I get to go to follow up at periodontist.

after that, the wood I split yesterday morning needs to be stacked.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Good evening all. 68ºF for the start, overcast, and light breeze. Moderate wind with brisk gusts, Overcast with some light rain at times, and high temp was 85ºF, HI 89ºF. Putter in morning, bike ride, wind made it harder :( . Trip to town for lunch and groceries. Nap on return, then fixed light timer again, light is on now :) I think ants are studying the insulating properties of electrocuted ants, I wish they would stop.
Ron glad clean up on the garden pond was good. Hope mowing went well. Nice pic, again :)

58 going to 81. Another nice day.

Great nuthatch shot, Ron. Could you see the aurora last night?

Kilroy, Franklin seems like a real nice town. Scarecrows look cool. Looks like a fun restaurant.

Dentist appointment went well. Then over to hardware store and sub shop and home to work on zero turn.

Draining the hydraulic fluid from the 3 ports and canister filter went well, but getting the strainer loose was a job...finally dragged out the air compressor and impact wrench...the strainer is about 6 inches long, built onto a 26mm nut with an o-ring. Just couldn't get good leverage in such a tight area otherwise. Glad I cleaned it, though...lots of strange material on it...not metallic. It took an hour just for the fluid refill to slowly flow into the nooks and crannies...7.5 liters...I poured one liter at a time, then began cleaning up tools while each settled. Finished at sunset, just in time to help my wife unload groceries from a Costco run.
Franklin is a pretty good location, just far enough away from places like Asheville and Atlanta to not really be overly contaminated with stupidity yet not ridiculously far from all sorts of interesting places—- I tell people that “everything is equally inconvenient”.

Morning all, 49 going up to 76 and sun is coming up.
We have heat!

Got a call earlier, the installer is looking to subcontract out the removal of the Tarm so who knows when it will leave, certainly seems like it will be around for a few days :-(

Went to remove leafs in skimmer, garter snake in there got upset, luckily I didn't just put my hand in, got most of the leafs out, will relocate snake if still in there today, tight space to grab a snake.

Be well,

Good Morning
47 when I woke up, it already 53 on the way to 70 under a cloudless sky.

Yesterday was about the same weather, started with breakfast with the professor, wife and daughter joined us. After that it was clean up outside, trim beds, open up the blind corner in the lane a bit so you can see what’s coming the other way before impact. All in preparation for my wife’s farm open house this weekend. Got the signs up down at the road.
Got the ceiling back together and painted in the dining room.

Before-

And after-

Today will be a Costco run and mowing. A little computer time before the Costco run.

Scotty who do you push snow for if I may ask. I did a lot of that for VDOT in the 80s up to 2009. Used single axle f650 with 10 foot valk blade.

Glad you have heat Ken do not like snakes
