Poured first cup of coffee. 46° with rain this morning. Heading to 54° with continued rain. .41" rain overnight. Got the carpenter bee traps cleaned and hung around barn. Did some more weed pulling. Today will be a conserve energy day.

Mostly, I made the Carpenter Bee traps a few years ago. They work very well.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the low is 44 and going up to 57°F. Wind NE 8 mph getting up to 20 mph by noon. 40% chance of showers this afternoon and evening.

Dump/town run today. May stop at the drug store and get me a new bottle of Vicks vapo rub. My current one expired in September of last year.

If it is not raining when I get back, then I will cut the grass. The wind is supposed to pick up. The bugs don't fly in 10 mph+ winds.

Got my goobers into me, so now time for breakfast.

Have a safe day all

57 and raining, going to 65. Yesterday was another perfect weather day.

About 30 years ago planted 2 hemlock trees...bare root things about a foot high. They are nice size now, and I really enjoy them. This spring I was amazed to find wooly adelgids on them...an unfortunate tiny insect pest that has killed probably millions of hemlocks in the Appalachians. There are very few native hemlocks near us so I just can't figure how they found my 2 trees.

Yesterday I mixed up some pesticide that are poured on the soil around the trees for the roots to absorb. Fingers crossed that I can save them.

Bush hogged my food plots for a couple of hours yesterday once the dew dried. Plan to replant this year after leaving them out to reseed themselves last year, so lots of weeds. 2 deer came out of the woods and watched me mow, and them the swallows swooped in to feed on the little insects I was stirring up. Lots of fun watching them.

Checked game cams and found more bears hanging around this month.

good morning all
wet out,slight drizzle, beginning of two days of rain and cool weather for next week.
More than inch expected, then a dry weekend for the holiday,which will be nice.
no plans for today other than taking car to tire dealer this afternoon. Brand new Goodyears have
a small thump, maybe a bad tire, no idea.

does it feel like it's coming through the steering wheel or the seat? Trying to figure out front or back wheels...

then a nice dinner at my brother's tonight.

Buckeye, that's an impressive project. going to look wonderful when you are done.

hope RNG, Riptides and others are doing fine.

Morning all!
Currently 47 and raining. Going to 52 for the high.

Managed to get quite a bit done yesterday.
Walk with wife done. All of the grass mowed. Trip to the post office. Dropped off 5 bags of shavings to the local dog pound. Picked up 3 burls given to me by a friend. Got them trimmed and made into bowl blanks.

Cut another board for my brother in law. Removed the snow blower and installed the mower on the neighbor's tractor. Emergency run to jump start a relatives car. Worked a bit in the shop and squeezed a nap in!

Not sure what will get done today. Think it will be a play in the shop day. Subject to change at a moments notice though.
Company is coming to service the mini splits at the apartment house tomorrow. Will spend the morning overseeing that.
Rainy and cold for the next 4 days so who knows what will get done.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Hope you save the hemlocks. We have a lot of natural growing ones near the farm, and we have transplanted a couple near the house years ago.

The swallows love it when I mow, and I enjoy their show.

Good morning TBN!!
63 this morning . Going to clear up and 86 and sunny today.
Storms last night I guess but I slept through them .41 in the rain gauge.

Much better day yesterday. Got some more rebar sunk and welded. More of that today is on the agenda. It's nice to work without fighting or fixing everything at every turn.
I have at least one more horizontal piece I want to get in then start on vertical.

Have you tried using a rotary hammer drill or even better the various breaker hammers.

I am going to try this and wonder. Do I just chuck the rebar in to my rebar and just have at it. I have a beast that gets very little use. May be just as much work as the sledge LOL.

Thanks sodamo.

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
