I hit four deer at once. Managed to get sort of between two. The other two smashed into the driver side door and the passenger side bed.
The truck became known locally as the "deer slayer".
Good morning!!!!

Good morning! A cool 50˚ heading to 80˚ with a SE wind and clear skies.
Hopefully can get Kia out of shop this evening. Shoulder is still sore at certain angles and we will be working out the kinks in PT today.
Wife and I did not do good enough at the hand and foot Partners Tournament last night to take home the money, only won 2 of five games, but all the games were very close and exciting and they all came down to the luck of the next draw.

Good Morning
49° and partly cloudy. That is also the high for today, wind should pick up to nearly 20.
Yesterday I did a lot of outside clean up, got the sprinklers put away and the hoses rolled up and put away. Made a successful Costco run, and figured out what was up with the hot water recirculation. Basically the flow rate was too low, so the boiler thought the thermostatic bypass was closed. Once I increased the speed of the circulator, it worked correctly. I think that I’m going to set it up with a straight timer and lower flow though. Then I can leave it off during the night and tinker with the “on” duration to minimize energy consumption. But it does work like a champ. Instant hot water in the kitchen sink now.
Cleaned out the fireplace, I think that I’m going either modify the grate or not use it, just lay the firewood across the andirons and let it collapse into the bed of coals on the floor where it will be completely consumed. I have never had wood completely consumed on a grate. I always liked building the fire right on the floor of the fireplace to get a good bed of coals.
How about you guys?
Made a nice beef stew for dinner, sat back in the recliner, dozed off in the living room.
Today will start with breakfast with the professor, then back to checking things off the “list”.

Thought the sun reflecting off the railroad tracks this morning was pretty cool

morning all, 51 going to 53 , cloudy windy, dry.
Jeep off to garage for work, Looks like wifes old car will be picked up by scrapper tomorrow.g
New car pickup Thursday.
Just did some small fixit jobs yesterday, nothing exciting.
We just have end irons which which the firewood sit on, works pretty well.
Grates are better in more sealed , glass, fireplaces to get air circulation.
Seems I am stuck in meetings for a while now :-( this day job thing....
Be well,
The tree that will not fall. Been dead like this for years, in an awkward place to get at.

Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 7:00AM. A mix of clouds and sun. High 67F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph.
Unpacked and put away the camping equipment yesterday, and that was about it. My get up and go doesn't seem to have come back.
Groceries and other errands today, not sure what else. Maybe put together a batch of spaghetti with chunks of beef instead of meatballs for a change?

Not sure who owns the tracks, but the railroad that operates on it is East Penn.
I have heard of a adjoining line called Wilmington & Western which runs from Hockessin, DE to Wilmington, DE

My uncle told me: "if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't work!"
Suprisingly, had yet another wildfire scare yesterday. About 11am a brush fire broke out. Winds were gusting to 60mph and blowing straight from it to us. It was moving rapidly, went from 1 acre to 100 acres pretty fast. 11 homes destroyed.
But within about 2 hours, the rain rolled in, winds calmed down, and it poured. No longer a problem. Plus got a dusting of snow out of it.
Everyone have a great day !!!
