Good Afternoon.
Today started about 55°, it’s 80 and sunny now.
Wife got me out of bed this morning to air up a tire on her Transit Connect farmers market cruiser. So I kept moving.

Yesterday I was successful at a solo Costco run, and finished up the little plane. Took it for a spin and got a few pictures of the Old Folks Home.

You can see the transit connect in front of the shop.

Today I watched my grandson play baseball, then installed the outlet and breaker for the gas range, as they are installing the kitchen tomorrow. I snapped the covers on some of the plumbing connection boxes as well.

Collecting “stuff” for the old folks home like tv mounts, av outlet plates etc. and putting it upstairs until it’s time to install it all.

RNG, curious as to why you are changing out the switches?
Mostly because each switch cost between $25 and $55, and I can use them down south at the other home. There are a couple dozen of them.

I removed several of the stadium outdoor lights that were controlled by wireless switches in the living area via "hidden" wired switches up in the attic. Just easier for me to dumb down the house rather than have to disclose the electrical changes during escrow.

I sure had a nice surprise this afternoon.
Look who came to visit!
Rigby

nice looking dog, but then so were his family, Plowhog and his wife
who stopped by the campground on the way home.
I think Plowhog and I could have talked for hours but his wife was kind to wait for us, with an equally patient Rigby in the truck, who just wanted to get home. It sure was nice of him to come say hi.

temps are dropping and with the wind it was time to come in.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 4.6C and it's presently 16.7C, partly sunny with, at times, a strong breeze.

Not much on for today, although I have a Church/Parish Council meeting this early evening @ 1700.

That's about it, take care all.

Today was nice and peaceful. Great birthday supper of Texas style ribs and a pint of Cappuccino frozen yogurt for desert.
Made my two b'day phone calls. The guy I used to haul with who busted his pelvis when he fell out of the truck, his b'day is on the 6th. We used to do the b'day suppers together every year, this was my year to buy. The other guy, his b'day is the same as mine only 8 years behind. He was painting the outside of his house.

I am up too early again but I can go back to bed anytime I feel like it. Unlike when I was at work and got up too early, I had to stay up just in case I overslept and missed my leaving time to get to the customer.

It is currently 63 and going to a high of 81°F. Wind S 3 mph. Sunny!

There is no doubt in my mind that the A-freeze in the Kioti is good, but the manufacturer recommends every two years changing it and it has been 3 years so I think it is due. If I put long life in it, then I wont need to change it for 10 years. I also need to make a new weather front for it so in the deeper cold it will warm up faster. I put it in front of the dust screen, that way it doesn't rub on the fins of the rad. I use cardboard cause I am cheap. I need to put the side panels back on too. That is about all the lovin' the Kioti will get until I get the oil at the end of the month. I will order a oil filter for it today.

Have a safe day all

59 going to 77. Hoping rain comes in tonight.

Happy Birthday L4N! Peaceful is good.

Ron, I've never seen a turkey drink in the wild. Great photo.

Decided Della needed some big leg stretching, so took her to a new trail. My wife is staying at my mom's for a few days helping out, so was not with us, but would have liked this trail.
