Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

Nice job on walk Drew

BEF installation looks good in the right place

40F and cloudy @ 18:00, headed down to a low of 35F overnight.

Just came in a bit ago, trying to warm my feet up ...

Went in and got my flu shot the other day, also managed to schedule a COVID booster for this coming week.

Hauled some more of that siding from the demo up to the can at the road earlier along with some white formica that came off chipboard countertop. The countertop had been dumped in a brush pile out back and the chipboard had more or less disintegrated. When I pushed the pile with the grapple a couple of months ago the formica ended up coming to the top.

Also collected the mail while I was up at the road.

Beyond that, I emptied out the dump cart and then spent the afternoon doing more leaf blowing/clean up:

Got it pretty much done.

Towards the end I used the Stihl blower to clean off all the leaves off the deck on the Cub before putting it away.

Grabbed the deer corn feeder while I was out there and brought it in and got it hosed off in the stationary tub in the basement. Will put that up tomorrow most likely.

Last thing was to fill hopper, two sunflower tube, and one suet feeder.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

Inventory went pretty good...we were done by about 1230.
On the way home, I picked up some diesel for the Gator...and, some gasoline since I used the mower after winterizing a couple weeks back. I've read it's best to winterize with a full tank, so that's what I've always done.
Tomorrow, I'll fill the Gator's tank and rearrange the garage so my stepdaughter can park her car inside when it snows (no snow, parked outside regardless of the temperature).
Also, a good time to get the salt spreader ready...won't dump any salt in the hopper yet though

Just had some delicious cabbage for dinner...and, since I've been up since about 0230 this morning, I think it's time to lie down down a while...

Gheez, Step, sorry about your loss. Scares the heck out of people when they hear that a fully vaxed person dies anyway. Did he have any comorbidities at all?

Not that I am aware of; the normal mid 60's aching bones mostly. He was an avid outdoorsman in excellent shape...

Thanks for the nice comments fellas. I think camping would be a lot more organised that what we are going through at present. We have a chap doing most of the work inside and he is very fussy so we are happy with his work.
Weekend, so barn work has stopped till Monday. It is getting close. Just the front and doors and a couple of gutters and flashings so it shouldn't be long.
I carried a few buckets of dirt in front of one bay ready for gravel. I can't do the others until I replace a irrigation pipe and tap.
Big rain downpour last night and even though there are no flashings yet, there was no rain penetration into the barn.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 25° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 42° with a good chance of rain/Sno* in afternoon. Got my haircut yesterday. Makes feel much better when hair in not is my eyes. Sassy came out of hiding and got a bath. Worked on pole rack for Mule. Going to try to work on it again today.
Did not take long for most pf the leaves to drop off trees in woods.

Alien, you will be parking vehicles in barn soon.

Drew, nice job on the walkway.

Buckeye, you will enjoy the hose reel next year.

RNG, hope you got trans back together without problems.

Rich, keep the reports coming. Glad you have recovered to make theses reports. I always get a giggle when you report customer service events. I did it for 40 years.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

30 going to 57.

Alien, are you familiar with our Ft Knox? Looks like your barn will be just as strong.

Finally wired in a new exhaust fan motor for the kitchen. Couldn't get to it before I had my surgery, but had ordered the new motor. Could never find an exact replacement, so I already knew the new motor, the frame and the fan blade shaft were going to need some modifications to fit. It all worked out and was able to "crawl" up into the hood without removing the stove to do the drilling and wiring.

When done, I go to take a shower last night and find no hot water...so I need to trouble shoot...some of the reviews on Amazon about the water heater thermostat I installed recently said it dies after a month or so. But it was the best one I could find. May me something different. Fortunately, we have a second water heater that supplies most of the house...this bad one gets a feed from the geothermal, and then delivers its hot water to the master bath and then to the other hot water heater.

Taking my wife in for a covid test this morning. Appointments were unavailable yesterday. She has worse than a cold.

Good morning all. 36 going up to 56 today, nice weather

headed to church, then sucking up more leaves. Starting to get to the end of leaves.

Wingsprd, good luck with your wife today, hope she feels better soon.

I'm a little sore from yesterday so hope to take it easy today.

need to remember to put electric heater in living room on timer. It was cold in there yesterday afternoon and I turned on heater,
and forgot to turn it off. Nice and warm this morning, no cold feet walking to kitchen to make coffee, then it dawned on me you dumbie you
left the heater on all night. Couple bucks down the drain, could be worse.
My electric bill in this little cottage was 95 dollars last month. No complaints.
