Yes, a smart guy. I like him a lot, very interesting to listen to some of his technical discussions.

My wife said she watched someone do 30 pushups, and asked if I could do that. I said sure, I could watch someone do 60.

Ahhhh, the memories

 

[sodamo]

Hope you weren't in the back 40 when it happen.

Almost, a couple hundred feet from tractorshed

Coffee is cooling in cup. 61° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 84° with some clearing. PT seems to be getting harder every visit. Pain is slowly getting less. Went to first DQ visit of the year. Rest of the day was spent conserving energy. Grocery shopping in morning. Then will do a couple of small projects in shop.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

62 this morning high of 76 no rain today 1.23 in of rain this week ground is very wet.

Holly had mostly good day yesterday except from 3:00 to 4:00 sundowners I believe it’s called. Power bill again over $350 power bill higher in summer than winter.

Hopefully today is another good day

Prayers for all our Country

Good Morning,

I miscounted, will need another small box of clips. this morning I cut a piece of trex on the wrong side,

Dennis, thanks for the reminder

Fine, I'll just stay in Ontario.

Bill, I hear and understand

Sounds like Opa needs to add picking up toys and putting noodles away to the lessons.

Engineer, sure looks that way

Good Morning,
Ct, 63 to start going to 78. Supposed to be sunny today, yesterday wasn’t.

Looks like work today, so I have some cash for more radio toys
Yes Drew, having a great time thanks

I rotated the tires on my truck yesterday, wow what happened ? I can hardly lift those tires to get them back on the studs
Good thing I only do this every 10K miles.

Hope work goes well , have a great day

good morning all
should be another nice warm summer day here, would be nicer if air was cleaner.
headed downtown to UPS to return some spark plugs.
Ordered NGK BPR5ES (the "honda plug") to replace the one Popgadget gave me for my rv gen.
box comes in, looks suspicious, plain brown wrapper...and the plugs were well marked as to that
part number. BUT NGK was not printed on the plugs. Chinese fakes. They sent me discontinued version
that was actually a more expensive plug, but if I don't know if it's genuine NGK, forget it.
plugs are only four bucks, why try to save one dollar????

so back the plugs go and this time I made sure the ad showed them in proper NGK containers, not loose in a
brown box.

my first exwife, who lives a mile away, is coming over later to pick some tomatoes.
her husband of 30 years is on year 14 of a ten year cancer and pretty sure times aren't good there right now.
Poor guy goes down to Philadelphia once a year to live in a bubble for two weeks getting experimental drugs.

New Hope auto show this weekend, and the weather is going to be good. Huge event for this area, but I don't think as big
as it used to be. I'm going to have to pass this year, can't handle all the walking. My retired accountant brother is working the show,
he's the finance guy and watches over all the cash, has done this almost 40 years since car show started.
My nephew, the wealth manager, brings a tent and has about five cars on display. Older not expensive ferraris, he is really buying
cars for investment, not bragging rights. His old Aston Martin Lagonda is likely a mechanic's nightmare. I think he has a 930 turbo, an
older BMW coupe. Had to build a new three car garage to get the cars out of his barn. I bet he has to build another garage, he's still young...

about fifteen years ago, my nephew and I passed the CFP exam the same day.
He went on to the most lucrative part of the business, managing money in an affluent area, and I went on to the lowest
paying part of it, not managing portfolios but rather doing all the financial planning for mostly Quaker clients, with their knowing I had no axe
to grind. I don't regret the career choice, but not much fun being older and having what is not unusual money concerns. At least I know how to manage what I have. I've had it really good for a long time, got to own the farm I dreamed about, so no complaints if I have to tighten my buckle a little now.

61 deg
we got a surprise .12" rain last evening, wasn't calling for any.
My truck tires get rotated every time I drive it.
yesterday was a breakfast meeting, then I just kind of chilled all afternoon, and taught a class last night.
Not much else to report, up early for me.

Gee, got home last evening and it is sure nice to be back in Houghton MI. This is downtown. Suppose to be a high of 83 today.
