Good Morning Guys ,
Vt, 40 to start going to going to 46 ! Overcast with rain coming in soon, possibly some wet snow up here !

Had a great trip to Lake George, met are friends from Seneca Lake area. They brought us some wine from their neck of the woods, and we brought them some Vermont cheese and crackers !

I was in the barn the other day and noticed some mouse activity, so far have trapped 2 of them ! Darn things get into everything! Wife says, you’re not killing them are you ? Oh no honey !

Got another 20 plants in the ground this afternoon, temp was in the mid-50’s … didn’t seem too bad … but my nose was running and my feet were cold by the time I came in.

GM RS,
Do you and the wife can a lot of your produce or do you guys have a stand that you sell at ?

May put the chains on the Massey today if I have time ! Right now drinking coffee in front of the wood stove !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

63 outside this AM, may touch 80 today.

Yesterday was a run around. Got my curbside pickup from HD, only took an hour. LOL. Not like the other store in my shopping area, a lot slower yesterday.

Proceeded to work on Milk House and Wife started with elbow grease on the "kitchen sink". That will take a few days, so far it looks like a re-glaze may not be needed. It is the original sink from somewhere in the farm house.

Not much else done. Today I hope to do the final metal hangings and make sure everything is out of the plumbers way for tomorrow.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe, those ailing, heal faster.

Good Morning
54 and grey. High of 60 with drizzle starting soon and continuing through tomorrow.

Yesterday’s wedding was very nice, the fall colors were spectacular in the Catskills. They lucked out on the weather, and had the ceremony outside.

It was a long drive, almost 400 miles round trip, the vast majority was highway. Set the cruise control on 78 and let it adjust for traffic. I never had a radar cruise control before, but I’m a believer now. Some traffic around NYC on the way up, the ride home was clear sailing. The Prius averaged 63.6 mpg overall. It was in the 70’s on the way up, when the speeds were lower, but it still has half a tank of gas, so I’ve not complaining.

Not much planned for today, some shop time, hopely lunch with an old friend.

Darn, that as good as my long gone 1979 VW Rabbit Diesel. I'd drive between Washington, DC and Burlington, Vt (almost all interstate) and get a reliable 65MPG with a light load.

That's great. We had a '78 Rabbit Diesel...didn't regularly track MPG...but do remember sampling one tank, and got mid 50's. Fun car to drive...drove it to Maine and to Florida.

Good Afternoon gstrom99,
Beautiful lift, I can’t tell you how many times that I wished I had one !
Is that a 12 ft ceiling in your shop ?
I’m thinking you need that height for the lift to be effective !Enjoy it !

Thanks! The ceiling height for that area is 12' 3". The specs called out 12' 0" (minimum). They flipped the columns right up, and the cross bar has about 4" clearance. I had it put in at an angle. It clears the lights, but the end of the high lift door track will be close to any full bodied veh - so I will need to pay attention. Good to go, hopefully get to permanent wiring today). Cold and a skiff of snow overnight. Calling for a low of 19 tonight. Will fire up the house wood stove tonight.

My KubVan has a VW Rabbit drivetrain, including the 52hp indirect injection 1.6L diesel. But it gets just under 30mpg. It might be lacking in aerodynamic properties.

... It might be lacking in aerodynamic properties.

...

LOL. Agree... but then it's all about purpose.

Neat looking van the cold is not supposed to get here until Tuesday night.

our building has 12 foot ceilings but lift and finances got in the way

I picked up and Earthway Seeder at a thrift store for $15 a couple weeks ago, it needed the seed plates so I a, into it for about $60. The Jang seeder seems to be a more capable unit but is several hundred dollars.

Thanks for the ideas. The Earthway or other roller type hand planters are a NO-GO. These assume that the ground is prepared, and I am sure work well. But I am looking for something that can punch a single hole, drop a seed and (would be ideal, if it could seal the hole). The dirt here is HARD.
