Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Morning all, colder morning at 54F-
Busy weekend of kid doing concerts at Havana's in New Hope and Broken Goblet in Bensalem.

He played guitar as usual, did a bunch of singing and even played keyboard for one song.
Don't know where he gets this capability from. The only way I can play music is the pre-recorded kind.

Trench garding got finished finally, my tractor got stung a lot by yellow jackets. Not sure the tires minded
Need to get pic with tractor in trench...next project, more wood splitting and some bulbs should be here this week.

Aunt fell over the weekend and cracked her head and hip. She has serious heart problems. Will call my uncle later for an update. Hope she pulls through..

Kyle-happy birthday to the missus!
RNG - glad to hear no blackouts for now- think the company CEO should have to deal with blackouts, but doubt he does.

Had to start work at 2am for a system test. not the best way to start the day.
The weekends concerts were so good, I am so proud of my son!

Stay safe and be well.

Good afternoon, enjoying a very pleasant day here, plenty of sunshine and only a very light wind, which my wife says is coming from the east. I like any easy life so did not disagree with that opinion, though my herbicide spraying records for this morning say northerly. If a farm inspector should appear (they can come and insist on seeing such records without any notice), they are welcome to debate that with her - while I retreat to a safe distance !

Ken, my kids are also very grateful that they can do things that are not limited by the genes they inherited from me

Kyle, happy birthday to your wife.

Our Max's favourite chew toy is made out meat. Right now I can see him out of the window, hunting field voles.

Ken,
Congrats on your son’s performance. It means a lot to a parent to see their children flourish. I know I’m extremely proud of my kids.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Yes Ken, congrats on your son. Proud parent moment!

The music talent missed me, but my daughter has talent. (She needs to practice, it's like pulling teeth to get her to practice right now)

Music is the one thing my son does without prompting.
The rest is a complete struggle, like any house or yard work.

Good Morning.

79F and partly cloudy @ 11:45, headed up to a high of 85F.

Thinking I might take the full 65 gallon tank and pressure washer up and see if that set up will work to power wash the block on the back side of the shop.

Have some ripe tomatoes that need picking as well.

May take the small hand-held spreader later and see about deploying the E-Coriganite on various planting beds. It's a biosolids fertilizer (sewage sludge), similar to MilOrganite, and supposedly deer do not care for the smell. Honestly, it doesn't seem like it has much of smell to me, and what there is doesn't seem particularly unpleasant.

Beyond that, there no shortage of other stuff that needs done to chose from.

Have rain forecast starting tomorrow through Thursday, I'll wait until after that before making any attempt to dig up plants for transplanting.

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

70°F and rain this morning with a little thunder, going up to 86° today. More rain possible through the day today and into tomorrow. Probably some boomy stuff to wake us through the night. After that, highs in the 70s for the rest of the week.

Three of the six flush mount LED lights in our kitchen have been slowly loosing LEDs and dimming. One has completely stopped working. I opened it Saturday to see if it was fixable, but couldn't find any parts available from the manufacturer (Kichler). I was hoping to just swap out the pc board. No such luck. Read through a bunch of Q&A stuff on their site, and they seem to just recommend taking them back to the retailer or contractor for warranty replacements. No help there, as we want nothing to do with the electrician who installed them ... who we fired and replaced during the remodel. I looked it up online, and they were supposedly available at my local Lowe's. Drove to Belleville IL only to find that they haven't carried that particular light for a couple of years, having replaced it with another brand. It's special order only. So ... need to order some replacements online.

Wife contacted a local shelter about the rabbit in the barn, and they sent someone to come and rescue it. A young couple showed up Saturday evening, found it under some lumber at the back of the barn, and were driving away with it about 20 minutes later.
"Remember what the dormouse said ..."

Sunday morning saw me standing on the side of the hill by the road with a line trimmer. Not a job I look forward to, but one that has to be done. Never measured it, but I'd guesstimate it's somewhere between 50-60° incline. Got that done just as it was starting to get very sweaty outside. Rain started rolling in around noon, so the rest of the day was inside stuff. Got the kitchen camera mounted on the ceiling in one corner. It used to sit atop the old china cabinet, but doesn't get good coverage sitting on the new smaller one in the corner. Made Wifey happy. Made her even happier when I sat on the couch and watched a couple of movies with her. Life is good.

Happy Birthday to Mrs. _in-_Tex.

69°F and .27 inches rain.

Only watched game yesterday. Got lights and exhaust fan installed in bathroom. Fan too noisy, have to find out why or replace. Pleased with the lighting. Went back out after dark to see how well lit. Those led fixtures do a great job. Need to go back and actually install the switches.

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
