We have the same issue with "new" neighbors. Their dogs howl at times for like five minutes. Like a pack of wolves. Can be early morning, like 5 to 6AM, late night 11 -12AM. Various times during the day too. When the kids next to them go out to play, they are literally up on the fence lines...

58 outside right now, fog rolling in, heading to lower 80's. May get some rain tonight, or tomorrow. Ending up splitting wood and moving it around yesterday. Lost count over 300 splits. That equated to 3 RTV loads. I still have over 80 rounds left, with some monster size. I have topped off the...

Will check into it. Thanks.

59 outside right now, heading to upper 80's. Need to get to the morning routine. The animals all huddle by their feed bowls come breakfast or dinner time. But, they don't wait around and if the tasks don't get done I am chasing them down into the fields. That ends up being a good brisk walk as I...

Feel for you. I rolled over a small "log" not too long ago. Thing shot up into the tractor and took the alternator belt right off. Actually wedged really bad in there. Only noticed when the idiot lights on the dash started to come on. No other damage and I limped back to the house with it.

52 outside right now, heading to lower 80's. Dry..dry and dry... no chances for rain in the near future. Managed to get the hot tub hooked up yesterday. Might have an air lock in one pump. Will be out looking at that in a few. Not much else going on, may split and move some more rounds from...

Now that is funny, except if you are in parts of Europe.

I use my foot, It gives others the impression I am in the wrong and makes them either think about it, or they move on in a state of stupid bliss.

56 outside this AM, heading to lower 80's. Not much on the agenda today, Made a late beer and grocery run yesterday, scored on my favorites. Survived another real job work week. A miracle. Managed to keep my mouth shut too, another miracle. Since I am sure we all get talked down to or...

60 outside right now, going to maybe 80 today. A misty morning to start with. Yesterdays rain never materialized. More like a mist. Never forget. Hope all have a good day. Solemn. Be safe.

As is has been our position on all real estate dealings. Leaves no doubt and may open talks on price only.

Our place used to be a small yard with hay fields. Then the bushhog showed up, upsized from a B to an M. Then the ZT showed up. Now the ZT is doing about 4 acres of "lawn". Since we have trails they are almost to a point of ZT ready too. Point is, the ZT gives you scope creep on maintaining...

61 outside this AM, may get to 70 today. It looks like it is raining, slight drizzle/misting going on. We will take it. Played pick up brush yesterday. Took better part of the late afternoon and evening. No more jungle outside the back door. When we retire landscaping will be a full time job...

YIKES! With our old house, (the wiring and plumbing is newish) we don't leave until anything mechanical or electrical has finished its cycle. Just a habit.

A lot of leaves coming down from the drought. Makes cleaning the pool an hourly job depending on which way the wind blows. Thinking about closing early, but we enjoy looking at the blue water. Only been in it a handful of times this year. Hoping next year will be more splash time.
