Good morning!!!!

Nice pic, Ron.
As to where we would go, wife and I have discussed many times and always ended up thinking we are safest here.

Regular checkup at my GP today, all was well, for a change.

I got out a K-cup marked medium roast decaf, stuck it in the coffee maker, added my creamer and took a sip. A weird taste hit right away, I neglected to read the “Gone Bananas” on the label. How my wife drinks all those flavored coffees is beyond me.

Still cloudy and 69. Just got to do a grocery pickup at Walmart.

Gave dealer my serial numbers to order hydro oil cooler. Dealer told me he lost his mechanic and really backed up. Says hard to hire anyone as they are getting $20/hr just to sit at home on unemployment. Suspect our biggest available labor pool is the tourist industry types. Maybe a couple weeks before I get in.

Sounds like everyone involved is having a good doctor visit.

Got my colon screening results back, negative and good for another year. Decided to take the less invasive route this year where you just mail in a sample instead of drinking 5 gallons of misery and waking up just glad it’s over.

56F and "fair" @ 21:30, heading down to an overnight low of 40F. Brrrr ...

No transplanting done today, but reasonable progress nonetheless:

1. Three or four bucketloads of debris gathered up and hauled up to compost pile.

2. Two azaleas weeded, pruned, soil sulphur and peat moss added and worked and watered in. Two more to go in this planting bed.

3. Weeds around planting holes torched.

4. Another 7 or 8 bucketloads of mulch hauled down and spread:

The ash tree (foreground, left) is dead and needs cut down. There's probably at least another dozen in various places around the property that need the same.

Located four 1/2" x 12" rebar that had been used as stakes when the arborvitaes were originally transplanted ... fortunately before I drove over any of them and put a hole in a tire. Got one pulled up, three more to go.

Also located 4 or 5 small oak trees that the chipmunks have helpfully planted. May transplant those this weekend.

Discovered that not all the hosta have failed to survive due to being pruned by the deer and a lack of water ... some are still hanging on. They will get mulched this time around which hopefully should help ... at least with the water.

The yellow jacket nest was gone by the time I got up there today ... looks like someone found themselves a snack ... :laughing:

Got cold enough this evening with the wind that my nose was actually running. Probably didn't help that I was sitting on the ground ...

Found this on craigslist ... it's about 15 miles south of me:

Commercial Leaf Vac Vacuum - farm & garden - by owner - sale

Probably not unreasonable, given the apparent condition and what they cost new.

Hope everyone had a great day.

RS love your progress, cool pic of the yellow jackets.
Phil, understand, retired in January, so nothing to prep for, but was waking up without the alarm!
Rich got to fly a Mining professor around for 4 days, was in two mines, He had just developed a new roof bolt and was trying to get people to try it, had about 50 bolts in the back to start the trip.
Ron if you sleep on them, it counts. nice flower pic
Thomas you had a 24" Zenith new in the box?
Don kinda hard to pull plants still producing, isn't it
Randy glad you did not get flooded.
Drew Nasty looking fella
Ted 3 dollar bearings, no wonder they went out. Have fun fixing everything and redoing the bed
RNG hope you hear from smog shop. much better air numbers, and good trip to town, now if the alternator light would behave
Chris sorry about the rear end accident, I guess they got the worst end of it hitting your toe ball.
Dennis nice pic
Grew nice graph looking good
PJ have fun shopping for utv. When we had 3 acres wife would tag team mow before her bout with cancer.
RS with your lower temps I would think the grass would slow down a little. Hope you heal up from fall.
Kyle had a Kaw 500 triple someone had converted to points ignition when the electronic ignition failed. Had points ( and coils) from three different engines, got a breaker plate from junkyard of a 500 that had points and used factory points after that worked well.
Randy that must have been a very rude shock. Neither of us drink fancy coffee.
David nice pic
RS shame with the ash tree, we had on close to the old house and had it taken down. Nice progress the plantings should look real nice in a year or two.
prayers for all, especially Drew/move, Jay/Peg, Kyle's daughter, Mike, David(moss) move/sale, RNG/fire, and Country.
stay safe and healthy, you all.
