Good morning!!!!

Good morning! 56˚F heading to the mid 70s, cloudy.

FireWise brush clearing today and good weather for it. Hitachi no longer makes batteries for its tools so I had to get Metabo batteries for the sawzall. With 3 new batteries I should be able to cut the whole 2 hours without retreating to the loppers. Hope we have some good haulers today.

Good players and bad cards caused more losses than wins last night. Most of the rusty after covid and new players are finally getting the experience they need and are making fewer mistakes. We are still in the covid Red Zone as we head into winter.
Mom still did not get Propane delivered so no prices to report.

Drew, do you ever feel like the Hee-Haw song "Gloom, Despair and Agony on Me". - If it wouldn't be for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all . . .

We use to play that on kazoos in high school at break time, about 50 of us had $.25 kazoos.

Morning all,
A nice morning today decent temps at 36F and sunny.
Did my hopefully last lawn mowing yesterday and got stuck with the 4wd F2000 in one spot,
knew it was bad but thought I'd get one more pass in, nope.
Will have to run the mower a couple more times for leaves likely, still lots of oak leaves hanging on
most of the maples have dropped.
Eating a late breakfast this morning,
just finished making some sausage gravy, the biscuits are out of the oven,
and my eggs are in the frying pan as I type.
Enjoy all.

59 degrees going for a high today of 75.

Yesterday's mail brought my new property tax statement for the next year. School taxes AND County taxes stayed the same. BUT a big jump (not unexpected) in our City taxes.

Another interesting thing I've noticed over the years:
1. The powers that be in every town or city seem to want the place to grow.
2. The claim is nearly always that they want more people to share the city expenses; more people to pay taxes.
3. It seems as if the politicians always forget that more population means more expenses; more police, more fire
protection, more garbage collection, more water and sewer expenses, more streets, more city employees to pay, more schools, etc., etc.

So, yep, my city, and the surrounding cities are growing at an unbelievable rate; new streets, widening of streets, new houses, new businesses, trees and land being bulldozed everywhere to build more huge apartment complexes and big, ever more expensive homes.

Are things really getting better for YOU or not?

Morning all, sunny and warmer at 40
Got some of the bucked tree moved, enough to get the tractor through. Love pallet forks.
Will get the rest today, ran out of sunlight, Daylight savings is a killer for after work work.

Network and cell tower were out for about 30 minutes-
Last town we were in (NJ) expanded like mad-taxes went up like mad too.

Stay safe and be well, and feel better Buppies!

Daylight savings time (summer) ended, we are on standard time now.

I prefer we stay on DST all year, or change 1 time zone and call it regular time.

52F and "Fair" @ 10:15, headed up to a high of 65F.

Hopper feeder due to be refilled this morning.

Then see about clearing off some of the patio around back:

Get hemlock and oak trees in pots planted. Will stick the oaks in the holes I drilled for the forsythia for the time being. Then rake up leaves/debris and get that run up to the compost pile.

Get that last Salvia planted up by the shop.

The unknown lily can go around back in the new planting bed.

Need to record the planting order of the day lilies for that bed for signage ...

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

Good Morning!!!! 52F @ 7:15AM. Rain showers, with winds diminishing during the afternoon hours. High near 60F. Winds SSE at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Higher wind gusts possible.
This storm came in around 7PM yesterday, so far leaving us with about 3/4" of mostly gentle rain. Been a bit windy, though, enough to make sleep something of a challenge.

Interesting trail cam, Doug. I'm curious how long it'll take to download 4K video over the WiFi/Bluetooth links.

When people vote for more taxes, they get more taxes, Bird. It doesn't seem fair that people that don't own land can vote to increase property taxes, though.

Got Romex ran over the great room ceiling yesterday, but nothing else. Helper was more interested in having his new iPhone looked at by the tech at the store in town, so we did that. They got it activated, but couldn't move his data off an old iPhone because it's no longer supported. I tried to update the old iPhone's software, and that's not working either. Not sure what to try next. But we did enjoy a good meal at the Sierra Nevada brewery, then had a look see at the local shooting range. We got there too close to quitting time to do any shooting, though. Also got some heater hose to replace a leaking one on the side-by-side.

Will get some ethernet cable run in the attic today, then get packed for the trip south. Should stop raining by late afternoon. Maybe move the side-by-side onto the front porch and get that hose changed out. Not sure what else the day might bring.

66°F and 0 rain last 24 hours.

Today I’ll be attacking the makai side upper cabinets. A bit different than the mauka side in that each cabinet will be a different level. Could be interesting. Pic when hung (hopefully)

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Our cabinets are different levels, I think it makes them more interesting. It is also a builders "upgrade". Will you have upper lighting?
