Good morning!!!!

Good Evening,
My grandson decided he wanted me to build him a soda bottle rocket. I bought some rubber stoppers at True Value and a box of Schrader valves from my local auto place. Ran my compressor up to 150 lbs and made up a little launching platform. He was thrilled to see the rocket take off about 150 ft into the air. I think I earned some points on this project

Was a nice day to sit outside and take frequent breaks. Did dig one post hole by hand, for the lower deck, back side where I can't get tractor in. It was in the shade while the top of deck was in the sun. did get more boards screwed on, 1 1/2 to go.

72F clear sky sunny indeed t shirt weather.

Been productive day more so than I thought it would be.
Gentleman gave me full pickup load for the critters
Finish clean rake ditches.
Finish giving house good scrub down and bubble bath.
Met with highway engineer thought he was little pushy,he wants 8 blue spruce remove on our land which be on road way rights so traffic has better view at 4 way intersection,I suggested put yield signs stop signs,he gave distance look also told him good chance be more accidents if spruces weren't there least spruces slow traffic down little...I doubt very much we'll see eye to eye.

Plans for the evening...after dinner set on the deck enjoy smooth cigar wait for critters wander by and the stars.

Enjoy your day all.

They are YOUR trees so why not tell him in no uncertain terms where he can go and what he can do with that idea.

For weeks our dependable Maytag has been leaking about a quart of water. Today I took it apart and found out the seal is bad under tub which is above the transmission. A repairman I spoke with said not worth repair because of labor involved. I'm debating whether to try repair myself.
What we hate about new washers is lid locks unlike old one. Old one we could wash & start all over again for longer wash.
Anyone ever replaced a tub seal?

Good evening all. 70ºF for the start, overcast, windy. Moderate to brisk winds, Overcast all day, showers in area, got trace rain in early evening, and high temp was 78ºF. made coffee to start day, after breakfast (cold cereal) to boat to launch ramp and met up with fish survey crew. Shock boat was late, started about 8:30. Worked for 3 hours with one break for measure, weigh, and release the large mouth bass. We were not shocking up many carp so one of my netters left during break. Another boat/driver showed up at lunch so I left after lunch. My boat guy replaced the rotten trailer bunks while I was with survey crew so recovery went smoothly. Got nap, mowed back yard, found 2 balls. BBQ at stepdaughter's for dinner

IF it doesn't rain today then about noon I will go out and knock down a couple of trees. I plan to use one of them for a support for the fuel meter. If it does rain then that'll get put off until Wednesday.

Good morning. Liberals won. Back to bed.

57 outside right now, not sure where the temp will end up later. Mid 70's if not high 70's.

Busy day. Ended with real job stuff a few minutes ago. Got tractor time in yesterday, cut neighbors field. Had a long talk with other neighbor, some trees down on their shared property line. Too big for me, and well I have enough wood. They both have heard me cutting, splitting and moving wood. Feast or famine with the wood these past few years. LOL.

Anyway, not sure what I will get into when the sun comes up. Need to relocate the game cams, think I found the fox den and pups. Will see if I can get a good setup on them this year.

Hope all have a great day, when it starts. Be safe.

Coffee is cooling in cup. 65° with rain this morning. Heading to 77° with thunderstorms in high SW winds. Washed car and Mule yesterday morning. Then cut grass and trimmed around house and buildings. Neighbor got home early from work. So we got tractors out and dug out a old willow tree stump and hauled it to wood burn pile. Hope to get a few weeds pulled between raindrops today.

Mostly, English Boxwood have a smell to them. These were on edge of neighbors patio.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.
