Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

I just finished up paying for my new toy! A family member was downsizing, and was gracious enough to offer me this equipment. I stole his chain too in the process, and the SO wrote the check a while back.

I'll test it out this weekend on the barn siding, and milk house roof. On the milk house I have some lightening rods that need to be looked at, and a chimney that needs a squirrel screen. The tree rat figured out the frizbee cover on the inside and decided to enjoy my tool shed these last few days.

I plan on setting it up, far away from trees and buildings until I get use to "driving" it.

30 early, 50 now, 55 later.

Lost internet about 2:30 pm yesterday and got it back about 8:30 this morning. Tractor that mows the ditches apparently got too close to the pole and cut the cable in two.

I’ve threaded so many sewing machines in my 37 years in the upholstery/window treatment business that I could thread most of them blindfolded. Singer, Consew, Juki, etc…The most fun one was an old Merrow serger. Three spools that had to be routed through convoluted tubes, holes and needles, and each one had to be perfect. But I loved that old machine.

My mother in law tested positive on Thursday, wife and father in law visited her last Saturday, she tested negative on Tuesday. Not much chance they were exposed, but they got tested, if either of them are positive, then I’ll get tested. All were vaccinated and she is showing no symptoms.

I went to the plastic surgeon yesterday, one kind of likely cancer on my shin and another type on my forearm. Get them removed Dec 2.

Not much planned for today, but I’ll get into something.
Have a good day.

Good Morning.

40.6F and sunny @ 11:30, headed up to a high of 50F.

Low hit 27F again last night, noticed yesterday that the freezing temps from the night before had put a hit on the plants in the garden. Last night has likely finished them off for sure. So fence can be taken down and that can be cleaned up and tilled in the coming days.

Noticed yesterday when I went back out to mow that the Cub was almost empty so The Woman ran down to the corner for some gas before she headed off to pick up the cat while I continued to mow. I still need to run down and pick up some non-e gas for winterizing.

Did some more mowing on the east side down around the house, also got upper front about 90% done. After I had had enough put the Cub away and closed up the garage.

With two straight nights of below freezing temps it has turned into a steady rain of leaves falling here. Areas that I cleaned off yesterday are now completely covered again ... so might run over them today, also finish up upper front.

Found a drowned chipmunk laying next to bucket trap out front yesterday and need to dispose of him today, not sure who fished him out of the bucket. Will resent bucket traps front and back.

Also relocate bird feeders further away from planting bed.

Need to bust up more of that plastic siding today and get it put in the can up at the road (forgot last week until it was too late)

Maybe get electric fence taken down and t-posts moved over to planting bed.

Refill feeders.

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

PJS- hope your FIL keeps improving.
I have a bunch of 1TB USB drives that I backup to and put in the apartment so not in the main house.
I have a network storage box with High availability to store everything live and then to backup USB drives.

The biggest issue I have is the changes in file formats over the years, means some I have to get clever with in order to see them.

Randy- hope the removals work out well.

Break over- back to work :-(

68°F and .2 inches rain.

Guys squeaked out a win at H&F in last round, a fun, close game.

Only a couple hours work in Caretaker Suite this morning as I have to take my truck in for servicing. Oring for fuel pump finally arrived. Service rep told Sophie it was longest wait for a part. Expect a couple hour procedure.

Then off to HD and a couple other errands will fill rest of day.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Our 3rd straight morning of heavy frost, was 24° when I left for work.

 

[sodamo]

Good morning! We got as close to the first frost as we could get. So Close I had to go outside and feel the grass to verify it was not frost. 34˚F clear skies heading to 60. Central Texas usual first frost day is November 15th.

Today I will remove mom's street mailbox now that she is getting yard delivery. I heard that propane prices are doubling this year and will find out today after mom's propane tank gets filled. I'll report back if they do indeed fill the tank today.

My wife did not win at her H&F table yesterday until I added up the score of the person that finished ahead of her. Apparently when moving down a total the player made a 1 into a 7 giving her 6,000 more points. After subtracting the 6K points my wife won.

Congrats to your wife, Don

A while back I built a spreadsheet for scoring, use it in Numbers on my ipad. Could send you a copy for local adaptation.

42F few clouds still froze on the ground in places sun does shine upon and in bird bath.

Put good dent in things to do list for outside before cold weather sets in for good...2 left.
Lab tech you might say had sense of humor,after finishing with MRI she said good news is we MRI didn't vaporize any women parts and she had couple more 1 liners.

Well about that time time to clean up try get comb thru my brush before date night.

Enjoy your evening all.
