Good morning!!!!

   / Good morning!!!! #197,121  
Spent 99% of the last 24 hours in bed sleeping. Flat out hammered. My wife is juggling 100% of the chores to host our company at a time when she isn't feeling well either.

Fever broke about 2am. Hope I can salvage some time with friends this morning before they leave.

Everyone have a great day !!!

Good Morning,
Vt, 49 to start going to 64, with a light rain falling ! We are pretty well socked in although I can still see the mountains !

Mostly, the hot chocolate was very good!
It actually wasn’t that bad out there with the sun being out !

Wngsprd, no bacon and eggs on the boat yesterday, I settled for a salami sandwich! 😀

Bill, no sherry in the hot chocolate but it was Ghiardelli chocolate! 😉😀

As Randy would say, I need to make a tip run today ! Also planning on some shop time due to the weather.

I only have about 2 more acres to bush hog but it’s not looking too good for that !

Don, on the lighting, is there any chance you could install a couple WiFi switches for what you want turned on and off ? Maybe that might be a possibility!

Plowhog, hoping for a quick recovery for you, I’ve never been a very good patient when I’m truly sick, at least that’s what my wife tells me !

RNG, beautiful Looking Norton ! I’m guessing that bike is worth a ton of money !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day ! 🙏

Good Morning
61° and grey. High of 65 with rain likely today.

Yesterday started with breakfast with the professor, then off to HD for some plumbing supplies. The only plumbing left to do is to install the toilet, and that will wait until after the painting is complete.
The current task for the painters is to stain all of the trim including the windows and doors, everything will be stained and varnished (poly actually) wood.
Tile guy came and set the tiles for the backsplash, he’ll come by and grout them today.

Doctor told me that I’m not retiring yet, issued me a first class medical certificate, so I’m good for another six months.

The threat of rain has worked out well for me in that the painters have been coming here instead of the outside job they are trying to finish. Joining them today will be the appliance repair tech to replace a board in my brand new range that was doa when they delivered it last week.

I do hope that it rains, it’s a real dust bowl out there where the ground is bare. I can’t final grade and seed until the concrete patio, walk and porch are poured, and the end of the season is getting closer.
I have not had to mow for weeks, which is very unusual for this time of year.

good morning all from San Dimas CA
60 out now going to high 80s
wish that was forecast for where I'm going....106 today
I'm stopping at a WinCo in Indio before I get there, looking for fresh fruit,
think I might turn on gen and a/c
and let that run for last part of trip, try to cool down inside of rv.
I asked them for a shaded spot, not sure they have any

not a long drive today, straight out 80, would really like to leave this heavy traffic behind

good morning, 63 going to 72 more rain in the forecast

Cleaned up around the shop. Amazing how much accumulates after a few little projects

Tractor tire is on and holding air. Got the system down how to mount it the easy way without hurting the shoulder.

Picked up new wiper blades for the tractor from Advance auto. Kubota wanted a mint for them

Also picked up some tire and tube repair patches to have on hand for next time

Discount tire called this morning that the new tires for the van are in. New to go down to Martinsburg to get them installed, 1400 dollars

Noticed an exhaust smell in the van yesterday. The right side exhaust manifold may have developed a leak. A slight hissing sound. May try to get under there to check it out

Morning all, 63 going to 68 and saying it's going to rain, yeah sure.
Got the pool furniture put away finally.

Drew - in NYC turn signals are considered a sign of weakness :cool:
Don't forget that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was filmed in San Dimas

When in Ontario Cali you could always tell when the wind was blowing from the Chino direction.
It snowed up on Mt Baldy and it was fun watching the ANgelinos drive their pickups to the top, fill it with snow and drive back down to make snow men. Of course quite a few overloaded their pickups and their were quite a few off to the side of the narrow road waiting for a tow.....

Good seeing your meetup went so well BEF and Ron!

Feel better Plowhog.

Back to work, be well,

Good Morning!!!! 56F @ 6:00AM. Foggy this morning, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High 69F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

Got most of the grease up off the floor yesterday using brake cleaner and paper towels. Was going to use the parts washer on the stuff on the shelves, but the pump wouldn't prime. I think the filter is clogged, so two are on order from Amazon.

Van and car both need washed, so that's on today's list.

How did it get to be Hump Day already?
