Bill, good to hear from you and time to put your feet up a bit.

Ron, hope back feels better.

Other than going to local hospital to get blood work done for endocrinologist appt next week, not much planned for today.
Another zoom meeting tonight for school board, another one Wed night.

RNG, I really, really, really hope you were the guy in California that won the $700M powerball last night.

have a great day gentlemen.

Still no sign of much needed rain coming our way, so just have to look on the bright side. Our back porch/deck needs a fresh coat of Sherwin-Williams Deck Scape, so I had to go buy a gallon yesterday (whew, prices are going up) and i cleaned the steps at both ends of the deck and applied the Deck Scape to them. I also pretty thoroughly cleaned the deck itself and will apply Deck Scape this morning. The deck is easier than the step because I use a brush on the steps, but a roller with a long handle on the deck itself.

66 going to 80 and maybe rain today...it missed us by a mile or two yesterday.

Prayers said for your wife's aunt and her widower, Kyle.

Alien, you comfortable and happy in that Mustang. I still can't see how you can drive it sitting on the wrong side.

LFN, I know the dangers of a soft narrow shoulder, too...I was mowing the shoulder in front of my place after the last big rain a week or so ago and had let the grass get tall...so the one place where there was still standing water in the ditch (that I couldn't see cause of the tall grass) is where the back end of the zero turn slipped down the edge and got stuck...I shot water from the deck chute all the way across the road, and had to walk back and get the tractor to get it out of the ditch.

As good as the roofers seemed to do on the roof, they were sloppy in using/not using tarps on the ground to catch the tear off...I found so many nails I had the salesman bring me one of those magnets on wheels yesterday. I kept count. After 4+ hours pushing and pulling that magnet, I've picked up 959 nails, plus lots of staples, pieces of shingle, etc. I still have a section of yard left to do since it got dark on me before I could finish. I'm sore today, but my bad shoulder feels almost well...maybe it was the PT for it that I needed.

Also, rolled the magnet right over a baby copperhead with the bright yellow tail...yikes. I had just come back from a 6 mile hike where I saw the biggest lizard I've ever seen (other than in a zoo) and a brilliant emerald green snake, plus a man hiking with what looked like 2 black bears on leash...as I got closer he told me they were Newfoundlands.

We got .19” rain from storms last night, lot more thunder and lightning than anything.

63 heading to mid 70's this AM. Rain was expected yesterday, but it was like island weather here. Nice puffy clouds, bursts of sunshine, cloud shadows racing across the ground...and the ever present throbbing of pain in the finger. LOL. Did I wreck that image in your head of the nice weather?

Rain expected again today. Nice and foggy outside right now. Humid...

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Good Morning.
It’s 59 and only going to 65 with cloudy skies and a chance of rain.
We got just about 1/8” of rain yesterday.

Yesterday started in the shop, then lunch and drone mission for wife’s former coworker, back home to put the forks on the tractor and lift a pallet of shingles onto son’s roof.

Today will get some work done in shop, then I’ve got to go to Norwood, MA until after dinner.

Morning all- grey/wet/warm
Got nothing done yesterday-woman is crazy
Did see about 10 Turkeys wander through, some young ones.

L4N - time to relax a bit-bet it's nice to be home
Nice bike Rich, glad it finally made it

Sorry to hear about your Aunt Kyle-Hope your Uncle can keep it together-tough times.

Rip- great picture, those clouds look so fluffy

Stay safe and be well

61°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 75° today. More rain coming in sometime after midnight, and sticking around for the next couple of days.

Plant Manager and Project Manager at work were both on vacation last week, and have both returned. It's nice to be back to just being the Quality Manager again. That was a long week.

Had a nice little break from much of the internet as well last week. I was starting to find myself arguing with fools ... and we all know how that maxim goes.

whgsprd said, "As good as the roofers seemed to do on the roof, they were sloppy in using/not using tarps on the ground to catch the tear off"

When we had our roof replace recently, I was a little surprised to see them start by laying tarps all the way around the house, on shrubs, etc. But . . . then a brief high wind arrived while they were working, so they had to pick up stuff that blew even into the neighbor's yard, as well as our yard. But I'll say they did a very good job of cleaning up under the circumstances. I think I later found a half dozen nails, even dragging my magnet around the house.

A bit different kind of a week for me. My youngest grand daughter (3 Yr) has had her Day care closed and she is "quarantined" for a week or so.
So I'm baby sitting her. Could be interesting I did get the vaccine several months ago.
So it's a waiting game to see if she got it from her young playmates or not. One of the mothers wasn't feeling well and got tested,
came back as positive and she had been vaccinated and so they closed the daycare and "quarantined the entire bunch of day care kids.
A bit nervous but we shall see what happens.
Nice pasture pic.
