Amazing
Good for you. Impressed at your direction and attitude on that project.

Oh, BTW, that last message was solar powered! The house has been on battery power for the last hour, and the battery is being charged by the solar panels. Things are going smoothly with the rest of the installation, and most of my concerns have been satisfactorily addressed. We'll do a walk through when they finish so I know what all the components are and most especially, what all the breakers do. The goal at the end of today is to be ready for the final inspection, and I think they'll get there!:cool2:

Mowed most of the remainder of the lawn...wife is sensitive to grass clippings (allergy, I guess), so I didn't mow the fenced in backyard, so we could keep the deck door open.
I'll get the back yard in a day or so...when the outside temperature is up, we keep all the doors closed. This house, considering we don't use AC, stays fairly cool.
As far as weed trimming, most likely I'll do that Saturday morning before the heat (upper 80's-low 90's) sets in...

Started raining while still on 1st cup of coffee. Never really hard, but .43 inches so far. Energy conservation day.
Good for the garden.

Good evening all. 71F for the start, some clouds, near calm wind. Wind became moderate in afternoon, some dark clouds showed up but no rain, high temp was 93F. Bike ride this morning, followed by putter then got fuel line and installed it, and redid the boat guide on the the trailer, 2X4 was toast. Cut holes in carpet to drain water better, flattened the mount for the guide, need to be more careful with putting boat on trailer. :ashamed:

Ron always good to clean up after project, one of ny failings. Nice iris
Kyle not good weather for AC not to work :thumbdown:
Mike, raccoons don't get discouraged, we had to trap and move them.
Rick sounds like you are mowing now. Good luck with that tree, I would be tempted to take it down with a lift and drop it chunk by chunk. :2cents:
Ted hope you get some rain soon, sounds like progress continues
Drew making progress, now maybe you can sleep better.
PJ sorry about the moles, good luck with a control plan.
Dennis several trails like the C&O canal trail on my list

Not. Even. Close.
At my age, I'm pretty sure I'll never again put on the kind of mileage mostly_ does..

Wait til you get going they'll be no stopping you. Last Sunday I took a group of nine on a 55k ride, mostly river trails, 8 on Ebikes. It's the middle of winter here. I'll be 83 early next month. Today 15 of us on roads, about 25k. Next Sunday 8 of us, about 35k around a couple of seaside suburbs and a soak in a hot mineral pool at the end of it.

Your only as old as you want to be.

Drew making progress, now maybe you can sleep better. :thumbsup:

good morning all. Up early but for the first night in who knows how long, had a good night sleep. They brought all my meds last night, including melatonin which is a natural substance that aids in sleep, have no idea how it works, but woke up feeling great. Sipping on cup of coffee, wish I had a bagel with it, but most boxes of bagels through Amazon are 12 bucks a box which is ridiculous. If I use Amazon pantry I have to order 35 dollars worth, which is also way too much for me. So still hunting Dave's everything bagels or some cinnamon raisin ones to go with my coffee. Can't drive, have no way of getting to supermarket where bagels of course are three to five bucks a box.

Time to take my first shower here, shave, and get ready to be taken back to cancer clinic at hospital a mile away to get some form of treatment. Not even sure where I'm going but they do I'm sure. Hope to get an outside walk in when I get back, though weather might still be iffy. Just not going to walk on wet surfaces for awhile. So this morning my pills are supposed to show up at the same time as breakfast, and the same time as the van ride. Will be interesting to see if I get something to eat...all the more reason I need to keep a little extra food here.

was going to wear shorts again but decided on long pants. HVAC in hospital is very powerful and I often get cold in there. Will also wear a fleece jacket, can always take it off, and since they are going to access my port, I likely will have to. Wearing a nice ironed short sleeve shirt so my first day I won't look like a slob. Pretty sure standard attire in there is sweat pants... Charging up my Kindle and will take that with me.

Not much excitement on my end...
Hope you all have a nice day
