Good morning, a mild 9C/48F here, not much firewood needed today.
Nice toy Bups !
Kyle, we need to do something to keep BEF off the speed, there must be a better way to forget his 2019 troubles than resorting to amphetamines :laughing:

Yes, that's him. He reckoned the worst tasting were bluebottles and moles. That's a real shame as moles have just exceeded my live-and-let-live threshold, this morning I counted 421 mole hills in this little 5 acre field.

Good Morning,
temp here is 27°F and going to a high of 30. Wind WSW 8 mph. Partly sunny.
Well, yesterday went better than planned. You need to remember that my stepson will, during any project, sabotage the project. Or he will help on any ONE job in a day. So, we started with the dump run. That went off without a hitch. We got back to the house and I told him that it would take me about 5 minutes to warm up the tractor and normally he would park his butt in the house for about an hour. 3 minutes later he was out the door and down to the lean-to. We got the tarp off the open side and dug it out with the tractor where it was frozen into the dirt, (seat time). After the tarp job, I went back down and helped the falling down side, fall faster. I will be tearing it down in spring. We got back up to the house and went ahead and fixed the sticking front door that since last fall we've had to slam to get it to close. Not no more.
A very productive day as far as I am concerned.
Buppies, I didn't think they made oilers that small.
Both of ours are on tandem chassis and both of them have 4' extensions on both sides. We can spray 16' in one pass. Always two on one job working together, except when one breaks down. They are both barn-yard Cadillacs. In our surface treating (tar and chip) crew there aren't any petes. The tri-axle dump trucks are all Western Stars. Then there are the trucks that haul the oil from the terminal to the job site and they are a barnyard Cadillac and my beloved 2001 Freightliner FLD 120SD. Both of us hauling super B trains. 11,000 US gallons/load. I have seen this crew empty 3 of these in a day. (We usually get a broker to haul the third load)
Have a safe day all

Jay, I haven't put my hearing aids in yet, which may explain why I thought you were about to give us a recipe forThis is a geriatric checkin and resource center?
Hope Peg can soon manage without those nasty meds.

Poured first cup of coffee. 33° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 41° with sunny skies in afternoon. Decided to dehydrate some apples early in the day. 2 quart bottles full should be good for a month or 2. Lots of cinnamon makes them very addictive. Son and I exercise bike in house. Found a video on how to program it. Was easy to clear old data and set it up for. Then I decided to try a ride on it. Comfortable it was. But after 10 minute at a moderate rate I was beat. Maybe my Dr. was right. I need a exercise plan. I will give it another try later today.
RNG, good pictures of the Museum. We visited there a few years ago. So much to do. Old town and Midway were great visits. We did the car and air museums. Needed a rest after all the tours. Happy New Year.
Buppies, looks like a nice truck. Do not get any tar/oil on the white.
Eric, is that a picture of my front yard.
Kyle, why paint bike black. Yellow looks very bright.
Hawkeye, looking forward to reviews of the Simply Safe system.
Good Morning All.

good morning all. Going to be a nice day and will work outside with helper trimming bushes and trees. Will get in to high sixties today, low 70's tomorrow with rain coming in.
Had a bad night last night, was on my feet too much yesterday and had awful leg cramps again. Going to drink extra water at dinner and see if that helps. I stopped taking statins due to cramps so they aren't the problem any more. Landscaper crew did a lot of tree work, owner is very talented with machinery, I let him take the big Massey with the cab into the woods, with the finish mower on the back.
Needless to say turning around was done carefully. Not a scratch, all good. He used the bucket on the tractor to push over a tall pine that had died, and he dropped it perfectly. Now my front woods, the part you see coming down the lane, is cleared out and looks much better. Helper offered to bush hog it all but I like it natural. We made some wood piles with the pine, no other use for it, hopefully a habitat for some critter soon.
Eric, that looks like an invasion in your field.

Thought he was referring to how fast I commute to work.
