Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! 66˚F heading to the mid 80s. We are under a red flag fire alert also known as a pool leaf alert day. Low humidity, strong west wind.

The large double Durango 12' tall metal arched front door looks good after being polished with Kleen King powder. Glad that job is over.
Also mowed the yard mostly to pick up the leaves and dead grass.

Today I'll wash the truck, polish the courtyard gate, work on the dry river bed, and do some shopping. Wait that's too much, will try to do at least two of the proposed 4 jobs, got to maintain my easy retirement status.

on this day in 2012 I was having great fun using my first three point plow.
just roughing up the field before rototilling.
only plow I had used before was an ancient drawbar plow pulled by John Deere B
great fun getting a little dirt on the tires

 

[daugen]

had no idea what I was doing but probably one of the most fun things I knew to do.
First I took a single shank ripper to it, that didn't work well, then went to moldboard plow.
that worked better but sure left a mess. Didn't have a disc back then.
which made the first pass on the pull behind rototiller a bit bumpy
field had not been tilled in decades, thick field turf.

Good Morning,
Ct, 36 to start going to 57 with partially sunny skies!

Went out with friends for dinner last night, one of Kathleen’s college roommates ! Nice time, food was good, and tonight another dinner out with another couple that we are friends with ! On Sunday, I go to the early church service and then to St Patrick’s parade, and then a house full of people after the parade ! I think by Sunday night we will be shot !

There is an app from Samsung called Smart Switch. Anyone used it and have any feedback?

Billy, no experience with that , we both have I phones with AT &T support ! I’m guessing your plan is more reasonable! When I got my new phone , I just had to put both phones side by side and it automatically transferred data ! Although my notes did not transfer and I had to manually do that ! I just use an I phone 8 and I’m quite happy with it ! I really like the smaller size ! I don’t need a TV screen for a phone !


Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! Currently 38° going to a high of 62°, cloudy and setting us up for rain this weekend. A good time to do my errands and get the suppressor. Mower will have to continue waiting until I feel properly motivated.

Oil change on the tractor went smoothly, everything was easy to get at and I only spilled enough oil to make the EPA slightly nervous but not at SuperFund levels. Found a few more grease zikrs and hit those while I was down there, took the tractor on a little joyride just to make sure everything was happy and humming along. I forget how heavy that tractor is compared to the sub-compact my father has and the zero turn, all that to say I left some ruts behind me. Whoops. Gotta remember, only bring that tractor out when it is Dry with a capital D or Frozen with a capital F.

Still need to scrape off the excess dirt from the maple that split last winter and carry it away. Now need to look into grinder rental again, but that can wait until the old man returns. We'll see what else is on the docket after that.

Drew, Belated Happy Birthday to you and many more!
wingsprd: I've had no trouble with the Samsung Smart Switch, even with my habit of holding onto phones until they've got one foot in the grave, I've never had an issue transferring data from my old one to the new one.

Prayers for those ailing and recovering!
Y'all stay safe out there and enjoy the weekend!

Morning all, 39 to 59 and full cloud cover.
Got the little 490 saw working, cleaned plug and carb.
Emptied the tank and changed gas, even though it's canned gas, put that in my blower and it started right up. Who knows what fixed the saw, but it's running.

Roof looks great Ron.

NHBX - hope it's something cheap to fix.

Wmgsprd - smartswitch worked fine for me last year to bring up my new phone.

We had a big brush fire yesterday on the other side of town, multiple fire companies put it out, got close to a daycare, so it was evacuated. Luckily no one hurt.

Called Dad's GF, conversation went a lot better, now that she is sober again

Time for a haircut today. Maybe give the stinky dog a bath.

Be well,

Just can’t get a good moon pic with iPhone.
Threw batteries in an old digital camera, and it didn’t work. So tried an older digital camera, and it wouldn’t work. Forgot about the old digital camcorder.
Guess I should get another digital camera for these occasions. Just more stuff to keep up with.
Was cold outside last night.

Looked a little white at the top the whole time. Went to bed before it started to transition.

Good Morning Again,
It has been brought to you by attention that I have been using exclamation points at the ends of my sentences instead of a period.
I apologize to anyone who may have been offended by this. I did this not really knowing that I’m even doing it. So sorry for my poor writing style.

Have a great day

St. Patty's Day parade
not very meaningful to me
guy died a long time ago, in 461 AD
patron saint of Ireland

his most famous quote is
He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned.

a my way or the highway kind of guy I guess
fairly common approach among organized religion
as a cultural affirmation of a beautiful island country that is a hot tourist destination,
sure, let's drink some green beer.

Scott, you deserve two green beers!
I'm happy to read anything you write
