Good morning!!!!

I am told that poison ivy should not be burned, because the poison is still 'live' in the smoke. What I WILL say is stay out of the smoke at all costs.

When I bought this place, there were something like 50 piles of brush already on it, and every one of them was lousy with poison oak. I burned every one but two or three, always waiting for a day with either no wind or wind blowing out of the north so there'd be no drift onto the neighbor's property. Lots of stories out there of people that breathed smoke laden with poison oak or ivy, and it's very common with the firefighters out here. A cortisone shot fixes 'em right up, but it's best just to avoid the smoke to begin with.

Good day,

Been dealing with a horse these last few days. Not fun. She is old, and maybe her time is near.

Have a good day all be safe.

Currently 50F and completely overcast here ... although WeatherBug claims it is "partly cloudy" ...

Supposed to be making it up to 59F with lots more sun later in the afternoon ... so a good possibility of some seat time.

Did not make it outside yesterday for seat time ... although I did manage to get quite a bit accomplished inside ... including scoring three 5-quart containers of Mobil 1 0w40 from Wally World (which was the limit) while they were on Rollback, which are now waiting for me to pick them up. Still need one more ... might have to see if it's available today.

Redbud tree is showing signs it is about to bloom, starting to see evidence that the maples are about to leaf out ...

Grass getting long ... but still not at the "Critical" stage ... :thumbsup:

Lots of rain in the forecast for the next week ... but I suppose it's not all bad, given we have a snowfall deficit for this winter of almost 3' ...

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and productive day ... stay safe.

66°F and .11 inches rain.

If I have another good day mowing like yesterday a very good chance Zi can get that area done today

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Got mower cleaned up, greased and blades sharpened. Cut lawn in backyard. Did not have to cleanup mower after cutting lawn. Those Gator Blades will eat up anything.
DJI Mini was delivered before 9am. Label shows it is from California. But tracking says it came from Hong Kong. Already sprayed outside of box with disinfectant. But what could possibly be in box?
Forgot birdhouse picture.

The tall ones get cut into 2 or sometimes 3 sections then set on top of burn piles by one of the tractor / grapples.

Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Cover Satin Spray Paint. Primer and paint in one product. 2 coats. All 3 of my birdhouses are made out of Cedar. Sucks up paint as fast as it is sprayed on.
