Good morning!!!!

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!
56 going to 80 under sunny sky. No rain in the forecast. Tomorrow will tie this years record of no rain at 12 days and no rain in the forecast.
Yesterday was spent on reorganization leaving the shop in worse looking condition then when I started.
Met up with some FEMA subcontractors that are cleaning debris out of the river left from Helene. Quite glad to see them as it takes a load off my plate.
Today will be in the shop again.

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

Good morning TBN folks! Its about 70 here now, abnormally warm and today's predicted high is 74. Yesterday it was 85 but the humidity was low enough to not feel that bad. Because of the camp purchase or offer, we signed many a papers, all electronically. Texting with the owners, its pretty much a done deal. We hardly ever eat out, but last night we did to "celebrate" and use a gift certificate the neighbor gals gave us for clearing snow for them. Here's one of the 4 that reside there.. All tech students.

Good morning, the low is 48 and going up to 77°F. Wind E 2 mph. Sunny!

I topped off the house oil tank the other day. Took about 75 gallons. The gauge isn't right, but it is close. The gauge was showing just under 1/2 full and now it is just under full. I fill by the gauge, because even though the tank has a whistle, you need a good seal between the fill spout and the nozzle (which I don't have) and you need to pump a lot faster than my little pump will do.

Not sure what I will get into today.

Have a safe day all

Hope the floor drain lid holds up. I don't put much stock into PLA under stress.

Neither do I. I used ABS for that reason. If it fails, I might try PAHT-CF before going to stainless steel.

Good Morning
63° and might not make it past 65 today. Mostly cloudy with a good chance of rain.

Yesterday’s trip went well, I hope today is a repeat, except that today I’ll commute by Prius rather than plane.
I got home in time yesterday to empty the manure bin, it was 3 truckloads. Pressure washed the tractor when I was done.

That was about all I accomplished, but it was enough. Not sure what I’ll get done today when I get home, but it probably won’t be outside.

After today’s trip I think I’m off for the rest of the month.

 

[Buppies]

Drizzle this morning 54 outside not much happening but that’s good. Had crab cakes for dinner last night from Va Beach quite good, Holly had salad we really enjoyed nothing like eating at home.

Holly is still asleep so must be quiet .

Drew hope you get better ArlyA congrats on purchase of new camp neat video NHBX.

Wish we could get some rain. Acorns still falling danger Will Robinson or your head will get knocked.

Prayers for all our Country

good morning, 61 going to 70 rain showers all day

Was caught in a shower this morning walking Cody and we got soaked pretty good

The herd of deer is growing to clean up the fallen chestnuts There was at least a dozen this morning. Their normal fear goes away when the favorite snack is there and we can go pretty close to them

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 62 going to 68 and cloudy, had some very light rain last night.
Don't remember what I did after work yesterday, so couldn't have been much.

Be well,

 

[riptides]

61 outside right now, is drizzling. Will not get out of the 60's today.
We expected some rain yesterday, and today, we are getting misting/drizzle. No complaints.

Yesterday was a blur. Ended up helping the wife move the remaining rounds to the burn pile. Then in between she ran to help a friend move out of their farm. Sad, but they are moving into a better place that is more suited for their situation. I'll be up and down the road for the next few days. On top of that the real job pegged the resource meter overnight and is demanding more attention these next few days.

I managed to get all my paperwork in order for my drivers license. A trip to the safety deposit box was on order. That's like a time capsule for me, always brings back good and bad memories. Unfortunate I could not find that special form I needed. I looked for a few hours when I got back home and found it with my Dad's estate papers. That all needs to be digitized and stored in the safety deposit box when one of my lawyers gets their crap together.

Back to the real job now, hope the drizzle turns to rain.

Hope ll have a great hump day. Be safe.

It's sorta not fair...Virginia Beach got over 6 inches of rain yesterday and sounds like none for you. One report there has 6.42 inches, the most of anywhere in the US.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

.68” rain since yesterday, more coming. Yard still brown.

 

[newbury]

At this point, seems that we did purchase a camp yesterday.

Well, there goes another great thread. Your property search ranked right up with BEF's and the "pallets in field".
You've showed us a lot of ground truth in the northern woods.
Now - are you going to transition to a "building" thread?

 

[LouNY]

Morning all,
Nice 68F going to the upper 70s today. Just sitting in the shade while my new to me pickup gets a woolwax under coat job.
On the left my 19 RAM 1500 and on the right my new to me 2022 RAM 2500 both of them fancy Larime trims.
A heck of a note when you drive fancier trucks when retired then when working.

 

[wngsprd]

.68” rain since yesterday, more coming. Yard still brown.

Ours is, too, but a little green showing through. Just saw where Oceana in Virginia Beach now has 8.02.

 

[sodamo]

69°F and .16 inches rain

Somewhat successful trip to HD yesterday. Bunch of stuff in back of truck to install the new mangate, but not everything. I outed to get the 4x6 gate kit as the description said it included everything except the posts. Get it home and it also doesn’t include the post side hinges. Grrrrr. Will install anyway, but won’t have hinges until Friday

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

nice trucks Lou, love the blue color

quiet day here, getting some quality reading in

 

[Looking4new]

I told you all that I was going to grease the disks yesterday, but my get up and go got up and went.
Greased them today, had to replace one fitting that wouldn't take grease. One out of four aint bad. They are at least circa 1950.
Now that the salt is in the basement, I can work on getting the wood in. First will be adjusting the chain on the conveyor.
77°F outside today.

 

[rswyan]

Was 80F and sunny @ 12:30, heading up to around 84F for the day's high. Low this morning was 51.9F.

Yesterday's high temp hit 86.7F and it was quite warm out in the sun. Thankfully there were some clouds.

Not looking quite as good today, much less cloud cover ... presently 16% ... and dropping.

Got meds doled out first thing yesterday.

Then proceeded outside for more fun and festivities.

Found water still standing in 3 post holes. Be interesting to see whether there is any today.

Got deer netting gathered up and loaded in the dump cart.

Then sprayed the southern perimeter of the garden with glyphosate.

After that it was onto more augering.

Got another (1 ?) post hole completed to depth (the 4th ?) and 2 - 3 more very close to depth, hopefully can get those finished today.

Brought up several good sized rocks which were impeding progress:

Further work was done on the remaining holes, including the ones that had standing water ... which was a little messy:

Gave all the incomplete holes more water before knocking off, will be interesting to see whether we have more standing water today.

Harvested the big Hubbard Blue and the 3 Waltham Butternuts that were on the ground:

That Hubbard did not weigh as much as I thought it would ... but it was still too heavy to weigh on the kitchen scale (>11 lbs)

Using the bathroom scale (which probably isn't all that accurate) it looks to be around 12 - 13 lbs. A 35 pounder would truly be a monster.

There's still one Waltham Butternut on the arched trellis.

Woman was thinking Domino's for dinner, which was interesting ... in that I had gotten a notification from them earlier that our Reward points were about to expire.

Ordered a large Wisconsin 6 cheese with pepperoni and I ran down and picked it up in the van.

Transmission line leak is apparently fixed on Woman's car, will be interesting to see how they handled that ... given that the part was NLA. She's heading out shortly to pick it up.

On agenda for the rest of today (in no particular order):

Some more work on post holes while tractor is still in shade.

Then probably work on the 3,4,5 string line to get the vector for the southern fence line ... since that area is likely to be in shade.

Will need to make a quick trip down to the corner hardware for another can of marking paint before I can mark out any more post locations.

Wash off all the winter squash and get them put in the little greenhouse in the dining room.

Beyond that see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent Wednesday ...

wow, .97" now just for today, 1.27" since yesterday.

Just returned home from a 4474 mile, 2 week trip. Scott, when I said it would be a long commute to help you on the deck, I was in North Dakota. Pictures to come. When drew posted Mt Rushmore, I was close by in Rapid City, but didn't see it this trip. Trip got modified as we went, was going to return via upper Minnesotta and the UP. Heck, would have drove right by Arly's new camp if we came that way, but we changed due to me getting sick then getting better, and it was raining up there, instead we returned via Missouri where it hit 100 deg one day.

Drove in a couple hard rains today. Cats missed us. My son held down the fort so they didn't starve.

Speaking of Forts, had to go here since my wife is a Lincoln.
