Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

Good morning! The normal prevailing wind is coming off the Gulf of Mexico keeping our Temps moderate. 59˚F heading to 77˚F, partly cloudy.
The paper aisle are still holding up with no outages but have taken a big hit. No new restrictions just personal precautions. In Texas we know that the virus comes out to play in the daytime also unlike silly Ohio.

I need to do some serious thinning in the garden's Kale patch today, this is going to hurt.

Eric the golf cart will be fine on hills. I used to go up and down the backside of the pond dam. Just get the right knobby tires.

First cup of coffee is cooling. 36° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 60° with a few clouds in afternoon. Started cleaning up last of the leaves in yard.
Guy came out and cleaned out sewer line. Did a good job. When he made out the bill he wanted more than the quoted price sent in a Email. What !%#$&^. I blew up. He is lucky he got away from my place with the quoted amount. I am not that type of guy. Can usually work things out. Still upset this morning. Sure will be glad when this Covid thing is over.
Take Sassy for grooming today. They work on more leaf cleanup.
Waxing Crescent Moon yesterday evening.

My neighbors finished Craftsman lawn tractor.


Roy, I have a coffee can stuck in the coroner of my 3 out buildings. Use it then dump it on side of yard. Sassy comes back in house dry.

M740, hope you are going to be OK after treatment.

David, now you have a new water heater incase of another failure?

Don, nice area to clear.

Bird, good to hear Margret's Oxygen numbers are where they should be. Whenever I get a a bad/off test number I ask them todo it again. Machines do make mistakes.

Phil, "( I told her to quit)". I know how that works. Not going to happen.

Muhammad, good to see you have time to read this thread. :thumbsup: Hope everyone in your family is doing good. Still remember our visit many years ago.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Monring All.

Carting tools around at the moment is split between a wheelbarrow, the old Subaru Forester, or the tractor. The Subaru is getting on in years, maybe this is the right time to consider an alternative. I have often thought something small and electric powered would be ideal, however I have no feel for how well a golf cart can cope with a slope, particularly when the grass is wet. Any thoughts on their suitability for going up and down fields would be very welcome.

My golf cart is standard height with turf type tires on rear. Works well for my area. It does not do well in tall grass. Slows down on my steep hills. I would think for your area a ATV or UTV would work well. Have not checked into battery operated models.

Well today at a doctors check up found out I had an embedded tick on my chest. The cardiologist dubbed it with alcohol to make it loose the grip and pulled it out. Took the med Doxycycline to avoid Lyme infection

There sneaky little SOB'es,late spring one chew half of it's body in the back of my leg.

A few years ago I had to go in for a transfusion due to anemia. I had my travel o2 bottle with me but turned it off in the waiting room. While the nurse was setting up she put the oximeter on my finger and it was 82,she put me on o2 right away and went about setting up the I.V. and transfusion gear and asked me if I had been using o2 and I said yes and explained that I had just turned it off in the waiting room to save enough to get home on.All during the 2 unit transfusion it never got over 92. After I got home and on my o2 concentrator it finally came up to 96. I monitor it from time to time and it varies from the upper 70's to 96 or 97. None of the docs have an answer so I just ignore it. I seldom feel bad from it except for occasional dizzy spells.
We are all different and some of us just don't follow the rules very well.

Sorry about your troubles, sounds like you have things under control. Prayers.

My electricity bills are now about 20 pages long. The system seems to be tracking incremental bouts of when I buy and when I sell, then using some kind of new math I have yet to fathom to figger out who owes what to who. So far, the monthly bill has been $00.00. I suspect that on the yearly "true up" day, the real number of who owes what will appear. And at something like $0.40/kWhr, my fingers are crossed and double crossed I'm pumping more power onto the grid than I'm consuming.

Next time your network connection goes kaflooy, try unplugging the power to that module for 15 seconds, then reconnect it. If the connection comes back, chances are that the module is bad. Maybe you can put it on one of those cheap power switch adapters so you don't have to unplug anything.

Then again, ISPs are famous for hiding infrastructure problems from their clients because they don't want to spend the money to fix them. The fix for that is to find another ISP, which is what I'm trying to do now.

Maybe they'll bill you for the 240 pages worth of billing. Seems like they could put it on a 2 sided page. Charges on the front, and a daily graph on the back. Sounds like they're up to funny business to sneak in charges to make people like you pay.

2o high of 57 today 70 tomorrow Thomas your winter is coming do not lose faith

COVID too close for comfort employee getting tested

Prayers for Bird and his wife , Kyles daughter, all others I cannot remember our Country

Hope employee tests negative, or else gets quarantined comfortably. We only have 19 active cases in our county. I've been hearing good news on vaccines and antibody treatments that were pushed hard to get done.

We haven't had much more rain in the last 2 months, that amounts to s bit of hog's breath. Less than 1/3". They are blaming La Nina. I guess the dewey mornings count a bit.

Ranchers are wishing they had more hay.

Eric the older Golf carts like my older club car and Ron's golf cart do/did have problems on hills especially if the batteries were not fully charged. The newer Yamaha "DRIVE" Golf cart was completely different.

Good morning, it started off a beautiful day here, didn't think I needed waterproofs to check on the sheep.

Stopped to fill up hay racks on the way back. They haven't started to eat much yet, so instead of using the tractor to lift bales down I have been leaving them stacked to stay dry, using a ladder to climb up and throw down just part of a bale every couple of days. It suddenly turned very dark while I was up there, when I climbed down I could see why. Fortunately I made it back home with 10 seconds to spare from a serious soaking :dance1:

Nice photos guys.

Eric, you need to have ATV tires with a lift kit to accommodate them. And if electric, don't forget to put about 18 pounds in a tin can with a slit every month. To buy new batteries every 4 years.

Nice photo Ron. Sorry the guy tried to cram your bill. Good thing you had a quote. I need to learn from you guys how to properly "go off", on people who try to charge me too much. I usually leave bad feedback online.

Usually those quotes have a disclaimer in them that they are just an estimate and that the final cost may be higher or lower then the quote.
