Good morning!!!!

Good morning, the low is 46 and going to a high of 70°F. Wind N 6 mph. Mostly sunny.

Junior didn't go to town yesterday, north wind too strong and too cold. I don't blame him. He will go today.
Body work didn't get done. I've got all summer for that. Same for the blades on the mower.

With him gone to town I basically can't do anything. I need him here if I decide to keel over again. The way I have it figured, I will wait until I don't 'need' the walker anymore then we can get on with living life.

That's about it for today, have a safe day all

Good Morning
56° with a high in the low 70’s for today under a mostly sunny sky.
Yesterday I picked up a plane from the Citation Service center in Newburgh, NY. A friend came along for the ride, we went up in a Cessna 310 (Sky King) and back in the jet, when we got back we got lunch a mission BBQ. So it was a fun experience for him.
When I got home I didn’t do much productive, did do some RC flying with oldest son.

The Blue Iris camera software stopped sending me email alerts when there was motion on the driveway camera, after a bit of head scratching, I determined that my iCloud mail server was not letting Blue Iris send mail. I deleted the old “app specific password” and created a new one, all is well now.
Fired up the grill to cook dinner, and it promptly flamed out, fortunately, I’ve got plenty of spare 20lb cylinders, but they always seem to run out at an inopportune time.

This morning, a couple of friends are coming over to help get the Crete Heat insulation and PEX tubing in place for the radiant heat in the old folks home. I’ll try to remember to take pictures along the way.

Good Morning,
Ct, 52 to start going to 73 ! Another beautiful sunny day !

Got lots of work done yesterday, pressure washed both decks behind the house. Walked around the property with the weed wacker and trimmed things up.
Brought some deck furniture up from the baseMent with Kathleen and positioned on the larger back deck! Got the pool vacuumed and cleaned up. Watered all Kathleen’s plants etc,,,,

Today I have some lumber in the basement I will take to Vermont tomorrow, along with a few other things. Also hope to change the oil in the Model A today for the upcoming season.

Paul, you look to have the perfect property to nice and flat to fly your RC planes !

Hope all have a good day ! 🙏

Morning all, 57 going to 76 and sunny.
Did get in the homedepot run, was about all I had time for after work.

The twin fawns were playing out front while I worked yesterday, they really have fun playing tag.

Be well,

57 going to 79. Can't get much better in June.

Been outside enjoying the morning and watching 3 chipmunks vacuuming up sunflower seeds we put out for them on the porch. If two show up at the same time, they have what we call "chipmunk wars."

Split 2 loads of firewood yesterday before it got too hot, stacked and filled up my last pallet rack...need to make another. Then mowed a couple hours after lunch.

My wife was saying how tired she was getting carrying water jugs around to water her flowers, so mentioned a couple of you use water carts...RS, did you rig yours up yourself? I searched a few sites online like TSC, Northern Tool and Amazon, and didn't find but one that seems practical and affordable. May get that for her birthday coming up.

I just got the 16 gallon spot sprayer from NT and put it on my gorilla cart and wire to my lawn tractor.
That size fits right in the cart, so worked for me,

Good Morning!!!! 52F @ 6:45AM. Foggy this morning, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High 73F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

Got some rearranging and cleanup done yesterday morning, but still need to do more. Pile of garage sale stuff on the back porch keeps growing. Got the outlet boxes for the 240VAC shop equipment mounted, but a problem in the wiring remains to be resolved. So today will be more of the same as yesterday.

That work required killing power to the house at the main breaker, and I was reminded of all the code violations in that box left by the solar installers. A SunRun sales person dropped by at the end of the day, so I showed him what was going on and he promised to provide contact info for someone at the company that may, or may not, be helpful sorting it out.

61F and mostly cloudy with Sun occasionally peeking out @ 10:45, calling for a high of 72F with mostly sunny skies.

Spent the entire day up in the shop cleaning up yesterday.

Woman came back down to the house before I headed up, as it had started to drizzle/mist.

I got a lot done, including burning a lot of cardboard and some wood. Got warm enough that I had the man door open and the overhead door raised about a foot.

Almost have the workbench cleaned and cleared off. And got the mess on the floor largely swept up in main open work area.

At least enough to work on my friend's loader bucket that needs repaired.

I'll spend a little more time up there this morning while I wait for it to warm up outside then get started on pinning down that section of woodblock fabric on east of the garden this afternoon and getting it marked out for holes.

Could easily spend another week up in the shop cleaning things ups getting stuff put away, and organizing. Not likely to happen any time real soon though ... looks like the next opportunity will be this coming Monday - Wednesday when the high temps will be in the 90's.

Woman has an appointment for a bone density scan later this afternoon.

Hope everyone has a decent Tuesday ... (y)

Good morning! Low of 56°, heading up to 84°, sunny and light breezes... beautiful day!
WOOHOO! We got 3/4" of rain yesterday, a slow steady rain almost all day.

Temps are going to shoot back up by tomorrow, heading back into the mid 90's by the weekend.

Dennis, glad you were able to get the son's DL issue straightened out. Bet both of you were blindsided by the notice / suspension.

Drew, sounds like a peaceful campground. Nothing like those good diners in Lancaster county. Just driving by --- oooh the smell!

WNG, sounds like Della is enjoying the hikes!

Today's agenda is to clean out the interior of the car and get it polished up.
Then get the garden tractor out and cut the small yard areas while the dirt is still "tacky" after the rain. Maybe I won't get covered in dirt.

Time is wasting..... gotta get moving.
Everyone have a great day!
