Good morning!!!!

Son made me a offer to buy my DJI Mavic Mini yesterday. Then I could buy a Air 2. Would like some of the features. But not sure I need to spend $1k for a drone. :confused3:

Think he'd be up for a counter offer? Tell him, if he buys the Air 2, you'd be willing to borrow it from him!:laughing:

I was chuckling about the same thing!

That's a really nice generator RNG....and quiet. I do have a worry though....maybe just my .02 cents. Considering the troubles you had with the gas supply line, I would keep a watchful eye on the propane tank's gage...especially if you have a tremor or quake. Would hate to see you lose a tankful of fuel. Hopefully it will last a lifetime. But I have to hand it to you, you are going to be able to tell the power company to shove off. When the power is out, all your friends are going to be saying "Party at RNG's house!"

I tried to go get a haircut, but the lady barber had 6 people waiting in cars already. Will have to do something else. I'm not waiting for 3 hours to get a haircut. I told my wifey I could go back to high school with all this hair....if I had a modicum of musical talent, I could join a hair band.

Speaking of, I like Styx too. Not so much the roboto song, but most of their music.

Eric, have you thought about getting into the gazebo business? You could make a nice one that is portable too, to rent out for wedding events. Add some fake floral, some fancy lace and flowing cloths, waving in the breeze....

So much to do, but I'm trying to get the family in the truck to go visit my mom.

A humid, overcast 49ºF was today’s low temperature. The sun appeared ~8:00AM and it is now a mix of sun and clouds and 69ºF, H = 84%, DP = 52ºF presently; and I anticipate a stormy afternoon with some decent T-storm activity and high temperature in the mid70ºF’s. The more the sun shows today the greater the likelihood for some serious convective action. The NWS/B-N has issued a Special Weather Statement for severe thunderstorms later today; including the possibility for tornadoes. Today's weather setup is similar to what happened June 1, 2011 when a tornado touched down in Springfield. The NWS called me that day for my report of conditions. I actually got a couple of pictures of funnel clouds forming overhead as they headed east towards Springfield.

Thanks for the +'s. I read my ultrasound liver scan report this AM. No surprises. My "innards" are in fairly decent shape for what I have been through. One less thing to worry about.

Around here there is really good compliance with people social distancing and wearing facemarks. I have no complaints about our Governor and the (cautious) way he has been addressing re-opening MA businesses.

RonJH- Thanks for the crane pictures.

RNG- I like that generator. You could probably power your neighborhood.

It is starting to "feel" like a big storm is on its way here.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

The house runs on propane, and so does the barbeque. And I cook on the barbeque a LOT! And I just HATE the automated Home Depot dispensary, or going to the local tool rental/propane seller for refills. Last time I used HD, the machine spit out an empty bottle. So when it came time to upgrade the home propane tank with a larger one, I opted for one with a wet tap that would let me refill my own propane bottles. It's simple, easy, and safe, and no more hauling propane bottles to town. Best of all, a refill at home costs only about 1/3 of the town price!

See how it's done:

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I love Styx. I saw them about 5 yrs ago at our fair.

My first rock concert was Styx Paradise Theater Tour in 1981 at The Checkerdome in St. Louis. Only time I've ever seen them live.

Speaking of, I like Styx too. Not so much the roboto song, but most of their music.

That Mr. Roboto album was so bad, even the band members rebelled against it and eventually kicked the singer out of the band. To this day, they still crack jokes about it during their live shows.

Good Morning! 73˚ cloudy heading to the high 80s. 50% humidity, grass is dry, good morning for an early mow.

EGO sent me a e-mail yesterday to wait to buy my next mower till early 2021. They are making a Zero Turn mower. My yard is too small, I think Mom should buy one for her yard. it's the perfect size for a z-turn. Here is a youtube of the e-mail I received. Now if they would use that battery pack for a golf cart . . . .
EGO Riding Mower Zero Turn ? WHAT ? - YouTube

Yep, I got that same email. Ought to be interesting.

72 degrees this morning, going for a high of 87 with a 30% chance of rain this afternoon, and rain in the forecast for the weekend. But the best part of the weather report was that we had a bit of a breeze, so NO dew on the grass. I got out there and started mowing before daylight, since the EGO mower has headlights, and I was about halfway through when I stopped long enough to turn off the headlights; finished mowing the yard at 7 a.m.

Saw very few people wearing masks on our trip. We got lots of looks wearing ours.

Some restaurants opening back up in TN. Most people working drive thru had masks. Traffic was light.

A paradise theatre complete show is on YouTube. I have the album. I also don’t like mr roboto. Crystal Ball is one of my favorite Styx songs.
