Coffee is brewing. 59° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 83° with times of heavy smoke from forest fires. Got front grass cut yesterday. Made some spacers for putting new pump on a pressure a washer. Good to work in shop. Got a fresh supply of ethanol free gas. PT this morning. Then may cut back back field. Need to clean up shop from past projects.
Thought I should get a picture of Sassy before she finds something to roll in.

good morning all
cloudy going up to mid 80's today

walnut brown wood putty came in yesterday, hope to finish the rv bathroom trim repair with that.
and then off to Costco when they open, haven't been there in a while, and need to stock up freezer.

I used my Alemite hand grease gun yesterday, works very well, when I'm not close enough to use air operated
grease gun in garage.
I wish JD had left the zerks on top of the spindles; instead they install them at the bottom of the spindle sides,
difficult to get to and I can't fit a lock n lube in there. Greasing a zerk you can't see at all, and can only work on by touch, well
that's dumb if other alternatives.

Fifth of August already

Good Morning,
Ct, 63 to start going to 82. Looks to be another banner day.

Mostly, yes pizza party went very well , lots of good conversations. Kathleen said after the party, everyone there was old. And then I reminded her that everyone there was in their 70’s, except for our sister in law who is 80 😉 We are also old 😉 But a good time had by all 🙏

Swim lessons for the kiddos this afternoon, probably won’t be many more sessions left. The boys go back to school on August 27 th. I usually close the pool up by the 3rd weekend in September. So it’s getting towards the end of the season. I enjoyed watching the kids have fun, but really don’t like picking up all the toys after everyone leaves 😉

Plans for today, go for a 3 mile walk early and then head to possibly a new park with my radio gear. I can’t imagine sitting out in a park during the winter trying to send Morse code with my fingers freezing 😂

This weekend heading over to Long Island with our friends, we are planning to see the Doobie Brothers at Jones Beach.

We just lost power here, have no idea why 🥲.

Hope all have a blessed and safe day 🙏

Wagtail, they will be in the last place you look. ;)
Always the last place wagtail

But that's the 'mysterious' point. They were in plain sight. I would have looked at them several times without seeing them during the initial search(s). :confused:

The only thing that I can think of is that they were very new, to me, 'screw-down' type clamps that were replacing some older 'squeeze-grip' type, so my mind was specifically looking for a squeeze-grip type clamp... mentally rejecting anything that didn't fit what I was looking for.

I laughed when the 'lost' clamps practically jumped off of the hook on the shed's wall.

I'm still chuckling.

Good morning TBN!!
62 this morning with high in the upper 60s. Coolest day in aug in ten years. 2 inches of rain since Sat night. Rained almost constantly for the last 4 or 5 days but, very little actual accumulation.

Good chunk of the early part of the day was dry yesterday so I got a little seat time with the blade. Will work out well for me.
Got the spindle for my Husky mower. Will need to you tube how to get the guts from the old one to the new one. Wasn't expecting that but will "git er done". Then clean up the mess from a couple of projects that have been finished up.

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

I find my mind has made pictures of what I am looking for. But has nothing to do with what I am looking for. Yesterday I laid lathe chuck key down on the tray I have for it. Along with other tools. Seems like each time I needed it. I would look for it in its normal place. But not find. Turning my head and looking another direction. Then looking back at its current place I would find it. Maybe I should paint Chuck Key so it is completely different from all the other shiny tools in the tray. 🤗🤠
