Good Morning All

Thought I'd send a note here, as I haven't checked in for a bit. The passed couple of weeks have been particularly challenging since dislocating my left shoulder (strong side) when I fell. All of my function and activities are compromised (cerebral palsy effecting right side significantly) and my wife has graciously pushed herself to take care of my needs, and the hobby farm. A role reversal in many ways, as I had been taking care of her, up until now. I'm struggling when I want to be doing. It will be nice when I can at least hold a pen or my cane, get dressed, hold the steering wheel / drive... but for now, I wait, and have pills as needed for pain. It will take time, I know. I insisted on a Dr Appt tomorrow to see why my fingers are still numb ??? Too risky to walk around on the property, for concern of falling again.

I'm between naps. The weather is nice. Enjoy your day.

Special prayers for a quick recovery.

After that used the grease fitting tool on that one fitting, also tried putting some grease in it ... it still doesn't seem to be taking any, probably going to have to pull the pin ... something I really wanted to avoid, due to having to get it aligned to put the pin back in once it's cleaned.

Might be worthwhile getting an extra pin so you can use it to drive out the one that's in there now and preserve the alignment. Could be the factory forgot to drill a grease passage in the one you've got, so it needs replacing anyway.

It was so pleasantly cool yesterday that I pulled the blade off the EGO lawnmower, sharpened it a bit, and put it back on without even breaking a sweat.

And now the NWS is forecasting rain every day of this week after tomorrow. We sure need the rain, so I hope the forecast is right.

Bird, hope you get your rain. Nice weather here.
Scaredy, get better, prayers sent your way for good health
Ron, 17 years, no complaint.

any of you ever buy a spare belt and it hangs on the wall forever when the oem just won't wear out? If Ron had bought a spare,
it may have dryrotted by now.

Good Morning!!!! 58F @ 4:15AM. Mainly sunny to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High around 80F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.
Rain is back on the forecast, but for only two hours after sundown tonight, and 0.02" of accumulation. At least it's trying.

Good to hear from you, Ted. Also good to hear you'll be spreading more gravel soon.

Sounds like a nice day at the zoo for Finnly, Kyle. Here's another "zoo" themed blast from the past:

Nothing like being able to see the engines in those old hotrods, Drew. That new Mustang had so much plastic, pipes, and wires under the hood you'd have trouble finding the spark plugs! No wonder new cars cost so much.

I'm up early again, listening to the mouse going at something up in the attic and in the walls. Can't imagine there's much to eat up/in there, or water, either, or why it keeps coming back. Just hope it's not chewing on electrical insulation.

Finished installing the LED lights on the house yesterday, and have more "smart" switches on order. The switches can be programmed so that turning one on turns them all on, a nice security feature. Noticed some other "smart" devices needed new batteries, so took care of those, too. A late lunch and a nap pretty much finished off the day, except for watching "Roughing It" after dinner, a Mark Twain movie that lasted nearly three hours.

Not sure what's on today's agenda, but likely it involves freeing up some bench space in the garage before I can do much of anything else.

Here's hoping the new week gets started in the right direction for you all...

Scary, prayers you get better soon.

Good Morning
It’s 60 and going to the upper 70’s today with fair skies.

Open house was a success, and everything is cleaned up and put away. It was nice to get together with the band, and we did play some tunes.
Today I’ve got to get an air hose to replace the one from the compressor to the hose reel that burst while I was away, grease the Progressive mower and a few other chores.

I’ve been trying to think of an excuse to replace my Club Car Carryall with an RTV, but it just soldiers on no matter what I do to it. And it does drive a lot nicer when just used for transportation when it’s empty.

Back home...

I was at work for about 45 minutes and stepdaughter called. Wifey slipped in the hall and broke her ankle....so, back home I went!
The ambulance came a few minutes after I got home. And, the ankle is definitely broken. On the way home, I thought we'd take her to the hospital in the Tacoma, but better the ambulance as she was in a lot of pain.
Guess I'll be working from home for a few days...maybe the entire week.

Morning all, sunny and cool 50's so far.
Got the CS-620 out Saturday and did some cutting, started out small and ended with some Ash about 24-26".
Amazing power and finished up so much quicker than my 490 could have done. Felt heavy carrying, but in use is well balanced and less tiring with the 24" bar.

Went dog walking at Peddlars village Sunday as the Tinicum art festival was canceled. Dog was happy either way and made lot's of friends.

Now the areas main road is closed with a bridge damaged by Ida taken out of service.
So the main road traffic is passing by us on a road that is not quite 2 lanes twisty and has fall away peaks.
Waiting to hear the crashes. Went from one car every 10-20 minutes, to constant traffic.

Spent yesterday putting away the pool furniture- summer has ended and leaves are falling
Sad they took your original home down, hard to maintain old stone houses, but sounds like they could afford it. Maybe they should have gone to Tuscany if they wanted to live in an italian mansion..

Paul - Welcome back
Drew-thanks for sharing- too bad they knocked down a house with so much history.
Greek Dolma/Dolmadakia has fresh lemon which makes it less gummy and more tasty with good Olive Oil. Cans..

Scaredy- hope the numbness goes away and you heal quick

Roy- hope the wife heals quick-broken ankle no fun for mobility-guess you will have an increased workload for a while.

Stay safe and be well,

Salamander saved from pool.Swam right into net as if it knew what to do.

Roy, prays for your wife.
