Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Mostly, prays for your wife. Hope they find the issue.

Gotta run to Costco for tire appointment, 93k miles on my originals. Course I ordered new tires right before the $150 off sale.

Rainy overcast day.

BEF ordered a set for wifes car three weeks go total bill $2127 no sale here. They are 22s would have never bought the car if I would have known. Originals are going to wear out in 19000 miles (BMW X7)

Wow, lovely morning! 54 degrees, going up to 70, not a cloud in the sky! The ice is off of our bay, and the lake is getting close to summer levels already. (Our lake level varies by over 4 ft. over the course of the year, mostly in the later fall, winter, and early spring as it fills up.)

Going to try scraping and painting the (50') boathouse trim today. Have to do it before the boat traffic starts, because we use the floating docks to stand on to get access from the water. (Don't need anyone making waves during our work.)

3 weeks today since I received my first dose of AstraZaneca, and I just heard on the news that they may start mixing the first and second shots so, for example, you can get AstraZeneca for the first shot, and maybe Pfizer for the second! I am no virologist, but this idea sounds great to me, and I will be happy to volunteer!

Have a great day everyone!

remember when 22's used to be called "dubs" because they were the biggest tires anyone thought
could rationally be put on a car, and back when they were pretty outlandish.
once you get below 50 series tires you almost have to have air suspension to calm down the ride.
I'd be quite happy with a 55 or 60 series tire.

they package the nicest models with some unwanted features at times. The seats in my audi are Recaros and are
way too hard for me. Orthopedically perfect but just too hard. Whereas the less expensive model had much more comfortable seats to me.
And while many of us would like cloth seats, hard to find other than on bottom line models. So if I want cloth seats I can't have a heated steering wheel, or
something like that. I like the old wool mohair bench seats. Perhaps a modern version of that.

Buppies, your wife's car is very highly rated, must ride very nicely and feel good inside

brought back another couple of flats of flowers to plant in beds around house. Want to get most of this planting done before
rains come tonight and tomorrow. Landscapers coming next week to put down new mulch in beds, so I want the flowers planted by then.
Also bought some parsley plants and spring peas. My peas are just starting to peek out, figured I'd jump start them
with a store bought plant. For 2.99 it was worth the try. Fresh picked steamed snow peas are just awesome. I like them cooked well enough they
just start to turn sweet. Healthy green and sweet. All good and lots of fiber.

funny how the "good post" scoring is going, Buckeye and Toppop seem to be in the lead.

I hope Ron is doing ok.

Good afternoon, sloppy snow has been falling for most of the day, very cosy here in the workshop with the woodburner going.

Eric is the depiction of the characters how people in the UK view the royal family

Don I haven't watched "the crown". My wife says younger people tend to believe it is all factual, while older ones are more inclined to believe there has been some embellishment to make a better story.

Mostly, hope the cardiologist meeting goes well for your wife on Monday.

Thomas, you would be great at the rehab job.

Eric-gate looks good- do you buy or build these?

Supplied free by local council as part of a scheme to make footpaths more accessible to those who can't climb over styles.

Our neighborhood is looking for ways to reduce the deer population. There is no shooting or hunting so it has to be creative

Try grazing a flock of sheep. Most species of deer make great use of scent as their early warning system for predators. That is much more difficult for them when sheep are around, so if they have the choice, they will tend to go elsewhere.

If residents don't want sheep and are looking for some fun too, then maybe you could enlist the help of those who like drones :-
First the intelligence gathering, using drones with thermal cameras to discover where the deer like to hide out.
Next comes the bombing mission ( without explosives - or Agent Orange !). If you can handle the import paperwork, I can supply weapons grade desiccated sheep poo for a lot less than what they are spending at the moment. Re-hydrate prior to loading onto drones, then drop payload onto deer in dawn raids.

What scoring?

Standing outside in very light drizzle waiting on tires. They Got them off the car so far.
Just noticed they installed 2 self service air stations outside to fill your tires.

72F and fair @ 11:30, headed up to a high of 81F for the day, but with increasing clouds. If the high temp exceeds that, it will break the previous record of 81F which was set in 1945 ... otherwise a tie.

More rain moving in tonight, with chances again on Sunday/Monday. That and the cooler temps should really get the grass going. Did not get the MMM taken off yesterday, and given the likelihood of rain (and rapidly growing grass) I think I'll just go ahead and leave it on for now.

Red-bellied out on the suet feeder this morning. Heard him calling before I saw him. More of the white daffodils blooming. And the magnolia is about to really start blooming.

Got about half of that planting bed where the lily splits are weeded yesterday ... pretty slow going as the weeds are very dense, the splits are not all that big, and I'm trying to be careful that I'm not getting the lilies with the weeds. The lilies are looking pretty good though.

Got the 6th box of white worms fed and all the bread products I had dried out ground up for food. Possibly enough for a couple of months or so, depending how many worms I harvest and feed to the fish. Still need to check out the freezer and see if there are any more old bread products that can be donated to the cause.

Fed more banana worms to the Julie fry yesterday who really seem to go for them. They are pretty tiny (1/16th of inch or less) and only live for around 35 days, so I need to be thinking about making up some additional containers to start some new cultures in.

Verified hubs were not ordered from Surplus Center on last order so will order those here in a couple of minutes, once I verify the bolt circle size.

Did not get barn owl box sanded yesterday, so that will be high on the list for today, then probably finish up weeding on that planting bed.

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