Good morning!!!!

I suffered with bullying from 7th grade through 9th grade and NEVER did I even think of taking my Lee-Enfield to school. I was taught that you settled differences with your fists.

LOL, yea seems there would be at least 1 altercation regardless of grade level.

A bit of clarification, I didn’t mean to imply any particular set of parents bore responsibility, but there has been such a drastic change in how kids are raised (trying not to get political) that I think parents maybe disadvantaged. Back in the day most of us abided by same rules and most any observant adult could and would apply corrective action. Would love to see a very broad based study on effects of so many changes and how behaviors have changed. But that isn’t politically possible.

Was 67°F and some dense fog this morning, which burned off quickly enroute to 91° today. The slide back down the thermometer starts tomorrow, and we'll have highs in the mid-70s this weekend. I'm OK with that.

A bunch of fantastic pics here, as usual. Thanks for sharing.

Good evening, gents.

Coffee is brewing. 62° with light rain this morning. Heading to 68° with continued light rain. .15" rain since yesterday afternoon. Got louvered doors cleaned yesterday. Mowed backyard grass. Golf Cart batteries were fully charged. But will not move as it should. Need to do some more inspection of cart wiring. Will try to get at that today.
Wake up sun is up.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
up early, for a funny reason
was up earlier to use bathroom, getting chilly in rv, put the heat on low
about 4am the a/c unit turns on, the little heater had warmed up the rv enough to turn it on. That woke me up and I turned that off totally then of course. Going to be highs of 75 next few days, and the shorts go off and the jeans go on.

today should be fun, watching the Black Hills forest start to appear and the flat land goes away. Am stopping at Wall Drug just for fun, they seem to have plenty of parking. Then on to Keystone SD, four miles from Mt Rushmore.

I've got a full tank of gas and a clean windshield, ready for the day

Mostly, have fun with your brother.
here are two more pics from yesterday, surrounded by corn

 

[Thomas]

49F clear sky day mid 70's.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...4 hours at part store,afterwards stop for critter food and Covid shot,being nice t shirt weather do some puttering outside.

Enjoy your day all.

Good morning, the low is 60 and going to a high of 64°F. Wind S 9 mph. Periods of rain. Raining now.

There is not enough room inside the shelter for two ladders, (we are both over 6' tall but not tall enough to unbolt the roof of the Kioti), so the light install goes on the 'back burner' for a few days.

David are you running your tractor at PTO Rpm?

I guess I will check on my stock and jump back down the youtube rabbit hole.

Have a safe day all

my sister got me to make an appt while near her in CA to get both the covid and adult flu shot, like I had last year.
still, yet, so far....haven't had covid.

55 outside this AM, mid 70's expected. Have not seen any weather reports these last few days, but I suspect it will be dry and nice for today. TGIF.

Today is stick patrol and burn pile runs. Have lots of piles in the yards around the houses. Easy, simple stuff. I hope to get the lawn mowers out after that. Last evening I managed to get to the drainage ditch and front entrance way. Got some of the street done too. Me and VDOT just cannot seem to keep the roadway clean and cut. I know I should not be doing it, but encroaching greenery on the roadway makes for hazardous driving. We kept calling on VDOT to cut back the trees but gave up. They sent a crew out a few months back who started, did a few hundred feet, stopped and left all the cuttings in the run off ditch. Had to call them back, again about that. Needless to say, last night I was out there trying to cut it back. What a mess. No further comments on service.

Also managed to get a coat of paint on the Milk House shower area. Need another one this AM. Grasses should be on the agenda when the sun comes up and the yards dry out. Just a Harry Homeowner sort of start to the weekend.

Hope all have a good day. Safe travels to those on the roads, safe operating and no equipment troubles for all! TGIF, but I said that earlier. LOL.
