Good morning!!!!

RNG, sadly, poor use and lack of current technology is rampant at many levels of government, Fed, State, & Local. Hopefully it is being addressed.

Finally success on the hard drive. Now have a 2 TB SSD in place of the original. Did it using an older MS image tool from Win7 days, I made the image last week and finally able to restore it to the new drive. Had a hiccup where the MS recovery disk would not boot from a USB connected DVD drive (linux will boot fine that way). Had to get the old internal drive working (it will never open, so had to force it open). That took way too long.
Then tried to install the external USB connected drive internal, and windows wont display drive letter when installed internal, but will when external USB connected. That's another days problem.

The new drive boots so fast now, and now have plenty of space.

My new Bosch battery jig saw came today, and I don't like it and will return it. Just too big and bulky to hold, with a side on off switch instead of a trigger type switch normally found on a jig saw.
No deck work today. dry out right now.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.5C and it's presently 16.8C, fairly clear with some wind.

Yesterday's paddock transfer went well. I not only chain-harrowed but followed it up with a Z-turn 'mulching'.

'We' had our 'fall back' an hour time change this morning. Fortunately, I was on top of that.

Tomorrow will be a wee bit busy with a early morning trip into Launie for an annual ute service, followed by an early evening Church Council meeting.

Speaking of Church, I'm off to there in a few minutes and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.

Day 2 just after 2PM
Still no flooding rain.
Still no rain.
Been delayed until after 7PM.

8pm just a light mist when I went out for a few things.
Hardly enough for the wipers to come on.

 

[daugen]

at midnight tonight they expect an inch of rain in one hour
that will rearrange the mulch

time for a bowl of ice cream and then maybe a movie

Getting a little rain

Just had a slice of homemade cherry pie my wife made. Yum.

Got 15 miles in on the bike tonight.

Well, our forecasted "2-3 inches possible" turned into 14" of heavy wet snow. Started last evening and finally stopped around 4 this afternoon.....

It's supposed to be spring! At leastthe forecast shows us hitting 70° by next Wednesday. Tomorrow should hit 47°, so hopefully the snow really melts off.

Dona was feeling pretty good today, but I think it's the 5 day steroid push she gets after chemo..... on day 4 today. But... and a big but.... after day 5, there has been a recurring "steroid crash" that lasts a day or 2. She really crashes hard, everything starts to hurt, headache, nausea, etc.

Thanks for the prayers and support, we really appreciate it.

Great visit tonight saw pieces of old Holly be thankful for what you get I am

Going to hit sack at 12:00 trying to get back to 10:00 a work in progress

Good Evening

Good to hear! Get some rest. Prayers.

Later tonight celebrate 38 yrs of marriage.

Happy 38th to you and your wifey!

Prayers Ted and Dona, sorry about your brother. May he rest in peace. hope the new to you truck works out.
My mom can't get into our higher up truck right now, even with running boards. Her arm/shoulder tendons are weak due to problems with antibiotics. Should've stopped the regiment. We have to take her places in the car.

Took son and oldest daughter out for TexMex. They both got 3 beef enchilada plates, ate all the basket of chips with green sauce and cleaned their plates. Son teases me about being a "boomer". Son said he was still hungry.

The coach let my son compete in the 4x 400 relay, after being sidelined with hip flexor injury for the whole season. He equalled his 8th grade time as a 9th grader, but should be about 4 or 5 seconds faster.

Trying a new blackberry flavored Dr. Pepper Zero. I'm hoping the sugar version is better.

RNG, your home shows well. Don't take any low ball offers. It is a bargain, compared to homes in Texas. Can you get lake access from your place? How far is a boat ramp?

So after some 90+ degree days, it feels "cold" at 53F and very windy right now.

Some of my "kids" at work got their senior rings, which they are eligible to get after completing 90 hours of school.

Watching Duke beating Houston 18-9 right now. Houston needs to make something happen. Duke shooting 3's. Now 18-15 Duke. My mom is watching/sleeping. Past her bedtime. Game is in San Antonio, but not a homegame for Houston which is 200 miles away.

Bought oil and filters to change out 2 cars and my M/C. Putting dino oil in my liquid cooled M/C. Don't won't any additives to make my clutch slip. They didn't have any Mobil 1 10W-40 in the base type they offer. I know they sell some really special M/C oils but I have had good luck with Castrol GTX for years.

Been raining and almost raining all day. Dry now, but cool and windy.

Supercross in Foxborough Boston is a big wet muddy mess. Gives the privateers a chance to win. More like follies watching the slip sliding going on.

Was given an older Sony audio/video sound system, with some Boston Acoustic speakers and subwoofer. Circa early 2000's. Don't have the remote. Seems to work, but need some old school speaker wire. Already have a sound system in the barn. Not sure what to do with it. Most young people play music on their phones and a small JBL speaker or something like that.

I did have an old mini Simpson somewhere. It takes a weird battery maybe 5v? Have to say I use my Fluke IR temp gage more than than my multimeters.....keep it next to the stove to check pan and food temps. Have a bimetal temp gage for an ampmeter. Also have a couple of regular digital multimeters, not sure of the brand. The one Popgadget linked seems like a bargain if I needed it.

Work is busy. They have mysteriously lowered our budget for some reason to an amount that won't allow hardly to pay my student workers. But they did buy a brand new lithium battered 6 passenger golf cart...

Wifey cooked 2 roasts in the instapot. Large baked potatoes and asparagus. Yum yum.

Billy, hope pain goes away with rest. How about an old school coffee grinder with a big flywheel?

May have a good bite on selling my old commuter Impala. Former coworker needs a cheep ride for his daughter. He's a mechanic too, and it needs a lot of love and a tune up. 353,000 miles.

Church tomorrow. Not sure if mother will go because she gets cold easily. Figured out why she gets cold. Her mitral valve is not shutting well. About 35% blood flow to body. Rest gets back flowed due to leaky valve. Trying to schedule a "mitral valve clip" which can be done with a catheter thru a groin vein. Specialist heart doc in Austin is where we are hoping to get it done.

Yard needs mowing and weed eating done. Branches down from storm. Not many.

Take a break Happy.

Prayers for our team, our nation, Ukraine and Israel.
