good morning all
another nice day, temp up to 78, pretty unusual but even warmer tomorrow.
box that I thought had rv filters in it was actually a box of plastic tree fencing, so that instead will be
my project this morning, protecting the last willow shrub.
deer came and almost killed the willow tree. I wrapped it and think it will be ok.
I figured they wanted a trunk to rub on and would leave the bushes alone.
Wrong.
Came out and both willow bushes wrecked, lost half their branches.
I wrapped one, but ran out of plastic, hence this order. That night, deer came back and beat up
the one remaining bush a little more, a broken branch on ground.
GGRRRR
Wraps will cure this, but they sure are ugly on a shrub.
during my tour of local school I noticed their table saw was a nice Delta.
But an inherently dangerous item in a K-8 school and no kids are allowed to use it.
Decided to help them up their game, and am donating a Saw Stop table saw to the school.
I go off the board next year and wanted a little something of me to stay, and not just money.
I told the shop teacher she could pick the model she wanted. She was totally delighted.

46 outside this AM, may touch 80 today. Yep 80.
Whilst cleaning up the yard again yesterday, walnuts, one pinged me in the head. The revenge of the walnut tree. It actually....hurt.
Still redlining on the home front. Some stuff is coming together, Milk House plumbing on schedule for next week. Other stuff beyond my control and needs to sort itself out. Insurance issues, family drama, conflicting schedules, real job stuff. Yes, I have a real job. LOL.
Weathers been great, hope to take advantage of it again today.
Hope all are well, or as well as can be expected.
Not much to say about late yesterdays events. We need help.

Good Morning!
God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).
50.5F going to mid 70’e mostly sunny.
admin running around completed, didn’t lose but didn’t gain, which is fine after the trip to the Scottish reataurant and ensuing total pig-out. Took Mom out to early dinner And quick trip to supermarket. Still haven’t unloaded firewood, I need to do that this morning.
Today will be more Admin stuff — mom needs some things done at her house, and I will likely get a haircut in town.
it turns out one cannot purchase r13 2x4 fiberglass insulation in a 24” width unless you purchase the whole pallet/bundle-of-eight, and that is close to/over a grand! So I will be cutting up 15” insulation into 24” lengths and turning them sideways and insulating the cabin shed that way. What a PITA… I could go for the 2x6 insulation but that is over double the cost of the 2x4 insulation and over-compressing it isn’t ideal, either.
question for the plant experts out there: anyone have any hint as to what these are? Both are about 8-10 inches tall:
I hope everyone Has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

Going to The Gonk?Good Morning Guys,
53 to start going to 74! Indian summer is here !
Up way to early ! Working today then driving to Vt this afternoon! Should be sufficiently tired by the time I get there ! Some friends are coming up on Friday , and also meeting with some other friends in Lake George on Saturday afternoon! By the looks of the weather, it will be warm up there until Sunday. Even though we go all winter, starting now I drain the plumbing out when we are not there ! I only leave the heat on at 50 but never wanted to take the chance not draining things out. During the winter it can get down to -25 F !
Ron, nice pic this morning !
Hope all have a safe day !!

funny how a lot of plants are called vulgaris
had to look it up
vulgaris means common
that explains why so many...
so it's a common prunella
thankfully even common flowers can be very pretty

Although we don’t garden as much as we used to, I spend more time marveling at what nature brings to the garden. Mosses, lichens and “weeds” are really incredible looking.

Scott, glad to hear the F150 is performing well. Mine is 2016, and it has done well for me as well. However, I did need to replace the transmission, coolant lines, as did my friend. How have yours held up?Good Morning Guys,
45 going to 68 ! Sunny morning with clouds increasing in the afternoon!
Don, best of luck with your recoup !
I see you didn’t waste any time to put your leg in the motion machine!
Kilroy, very cool old trunk, as Drew stated, if it could only talk !
Frits, happy anniversary to you and your wife! Very cool pictures you have been posting, I’m guessing I will probably never get a chance to get there !
MikeZ, quite a bumper crop you have there ! Do you hay all your open pasture land or do the local farmers do it ?
I can’t remember what the gas prices were, but I do remember working part time at a local gas station when everyone was waiting in line for gas, I always had plenty !!
Have a guy coming out to the house this morning to undercoat my 2017 F150 ! He put new tires on the truck last year in the DW ! He does this business on the side, he is a payed FF in Waterbury,Ct. There is very little rust on the frame, so trying to prevent it getting any worse ! Truck only has 62,000 miles , so only putting on about 9K per year, and most of that are high way miles going back and forth to Vt !
Hope all have a blessed and safe day !
