Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning. The low is 58 and going up to 79°F. Wind N 3 mph. Later this afternoon the wind will swing to the W 12 to 25 mph. 40% chance of showers.

We turned on the poor mans a/c yesterday evening for about three hours. Cooled the house down enough so I could get to sleep with out swimming in my own sweat.

Today is Sunday on my retired calendar. A day of rest.

Drew, back in the good old days when I drank, I never drank unless I was alone or with someone. I did have a drinking problem, 2 hands and only one mouth.

Nice chubby tree rat, Ron.

Have a safe day all

, I have the Ruger Model 77 stainless barrel with the laminated stock and scope.

What caliber? 22 Hornet?

 

[rswyan]

70.7F and very damp @ 07:00, DP 70F, HU 98%.

Dense Fog Warning issued … visibility down to 1/8 of a mile..

Heat Advisory still in effect through 20:00 today. Heat Index values up to 102F expected. Calling for an actual high temp of 90F.

Calling for similar tomorrow.

This year has set the record for the most humid year on the books.

Got tube feeders refilled just before storms hit yesterday, hopper feeder still had some in it.

On agenda for today:

Move more wood chips down, this time to cover the garden expansion on the east side where I sprayed glyphosate.

Have to relocate the PT lumber on the east edge before I do that though. That will require swapping out the Light Material bucket for the pallet forks.

Need to mark fence post locations again … before they disappear.

Menards order placed, just waiting on the text that it’s ready before heading out to pick it up.

Beyond that just see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday.

Drew I’m not sure if that’s true or not in my 20s and thirty’s drank some never by myself if chief estimator and I traveled together I did. Birthdays Hollys, mother father etc Christmas party what not. Getting tipsy in 20s by 30 did not like overhang and by 2002 wasn’t drinking at all diabetes diagnosed average 90 day A1C 575. I will drink now once in a blue moon vodka tonic drink of choice. Mother became an alcoholic quit cold turkey. Granddaddy drank himself to death did not want to leave town second wife forced him to. He died of alcohol poisoning before they were to move but a choice he made. He died at 88 always did it his way. Do I think you inherit this no choices choices

 

[m7040]

I have used the Browning BLR made in Belgium for getting groundhogs. Very accurate and shoots flat with 243 caliber
Have had this one since 1971 when bought new

 

[Buppies]

I have the m77 22 Hornet also 17 savage, browning A bolt gold medallion 204, 22-250 weatherby. 22-250 best of those but really like to shoot Hornet. Can you guess I like guns

 

[Buppies]

If I was only going to buy one rifle .264 Win Mag shoots very flat can load light to shoot varmits heavier for large game.

Nice rifle m7040 Browing made top notch rifles

 

[daugen]

Buppies, yes, life choices, we are often our own worst enemy
I've made it to 75, hope I keep making decent decisions
made enough bad ones to learn by
100 percent of my family has died due to cancer, and I've had it, so with no expectations
of making it onto the cereal box (do they still do that?) I try to do something fun each day
and use common sense.

living by myself, very different outlook vs when married. So much less to worry about.
simply waiting to see how much longer I'm going to procrastinate and get a dog.
I want one at least half as cute as Sassy.

Good Morning
73° DP 72° this morning. I first thought it was foggy outside, but it was my windows all covered with condensation. High of 95 and no rain forecast.

Yesterday started with a visit from Drew and his motorhome, I think that we were able to check off everything on his list before lunchtime. He left me some tomatoes, including one huge one teatime sliced up for dinner, along with some NY Strips on the grill.

This was one tomato.

It was a good dinner, and the tomato tasted as good as it looked.

After Drew left, I cut out some vinyl lettering for a friend that runs a shop restoring antique airplanes, and dropped it off. That’s always a good excuse to check out what is in progress, there is always interesting stuff going on.

Today will be used up by a trip to Portland, ME to drop off a good client, her friend and 4 dogs. I thought about flying the little plane down to Philly, it does save time, but it would be so hot in it coming home after sitting in the sun for hours, that I decided to drive.
The reality is that it’s an hour drive each way, it takes me at least 20 minutes to drive to Doylestown and get the little plane out of the hangar, and then about 9 minutes to fly it to Philly. So there isn’t really any time savings, it just breaks the trip up, and it’s more fun to fly.
As usual, the hope is that I get back early enough to accomplish something this afternoon.

Nice rifle m7040 Browing made top notch rifles

Thanks, don't remember what I paid for it but it was not very expensive. It was only made in Belgium in 1971 and 1972 and that apparently has turned it into something of a collectors item.

 

[Buppies]

Yes m7040 the ones made in Belgium assembled in Portugal worth more than ones from Japan now. Have about 6 BARs various calibers from 243 to 338 sweet rifles

Good morning TBN!!
70 this morning. Cooling off a little today 98. Possible Tstorms. We need it.

Slow day yesterday. Started with dog walking. Came back and started the mower to mow the bottom. Broke the $25 spindle and got it ordered. Maybe new blades contributed to that.
Worked on the trails for about 10 minutes. Too hot to sit behind the diesel!
Puttered a little bit and called it a day.
Plan today is minimal. May work on the bridge a little before it gets too hot.

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

good morning, 76 going to 92 no rain in FC

Yesterday had Verizon appointment to fix noise on the line. Said to be home and they would come between 8 and 5. Just before 5 they called and said it was rescheduled for today. Can imagine people that have to take off from work would not be happy with that.

Did not get around to servicing that ZT but instead completed the bracing for the wall using heavy lumber. Pretty satisfying cutting it with the chain saw and fitting tight going into place with a few raps with a large hammer.
Greased up an old 20 ton screw jack and used that to apply the force

Took the truck out and ran it through the touchless car wash and lingered through the under carriage wash section to get it nice and clean. Have to get used to driving it again because it is has much more power than the van. F350 dually does ride more jittery for wifes liking

 

[Thomas]

72F clear sky day 90's for high another day of 3 H's fingers cross for nice breeze.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Restless night for sleeping foot keep acting up,finally doze off around 3am.
Plans for today...another boring day with foot up holding down the recliner.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 76 going to 97 and kinda hot/sunny
Too hot yesterday, put some water in the pool, some general cleaning and then came in.

Probably have to go water since it's been so hot , everything is looking sad.

Thomas, hope foot heals soon.

Buppies, hope you get some sleep.

Still need to trim out the bushes, but it's so hot and humid, may do it later anyway.

Be well,

 

[ArlyA]

We were in the 60's this am and a light shower passed through which we don't need. High for today is 77 which is close to normal for here. Packing to leave and doing trail work this afternoon.

 

[mostly_gas]

Good morning all. 81ºF for the start this morning, thunderstorms bypassed us, cloudy, light breeze. Forecast for 94ºF. HI 107ºF, light wind, partly cloudy sky. No internet at Lake of the Ozarks, great granddaughter keeping me busy here . Head home tomorrow.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Vacation day, as in too hot to work...

Did get battery in tractor, fired right up, so one thing off the list. Started to look at ranger, decided too hot, it can wait.
gathered game cam cards, no critters on camera so far, but got 787 vehicles passing in the last day and a half.

cleaned up a little in the basement, as in moving stuff around. did throw a couple thing out.
turned on an old dehumidifier in basement, hasn't ran in years, so far no water collected, so it may be out of freon also.
no ice on evap coil, so must have been from the filters being dirty. It is low on freon though, just not cooling. Guy comes tomorrow to check geo unit.

Told wife we might as well go out and drive around today, enjoy the cool in the vehicle. Maybe go out to lunch.

y'all stay cool.
Mostly, have good trip home.
Thomas, hope foot better soon.
Buppies, prayers as always. 22-250 was my favorite groundhog terminator.
M7040, I stopped using the land line, keep it for 911. Verizon doesn't even publish a number to call for service any more. my landline is always static, when they have fixed in the past, it would barely last a month.

Saw my brother is mowing at dad's today. it's cooler there 73deg. 88 here right now.

 

[sodamo]

71°F and .02 inches rain

Got a good start on Hilo side mowing. Picked up oil cooler at PO and mostly installed. Need to finish that and top off hydraulic fluid then resume mowing.

Nice Happy Hour gathering at the golf course.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

my friend just left armed with the large zucchini I found hiding in garden this morning.
she is going to make some bread out of it.
got very red in face this morning and have to just cool it, keep drinking more water.
never got to work on rv, like others, you go outside and want to turn right around.
all my plants got watered, veggies picked including a big bowl of green beans.
