37 going to 60...woke up at 3am to see it snowing outside...turned to rain and is gone now.

Finished up the last of the tax returns I was doing, and celebrated by taking a load to the "dump." Took a nice hike to the river while I was in that part of the county.

UOfan, good morning. What's UO?

I moved home from Washington NC year before last, really miss the warm weather too.

to pick up a few bags of compost.

Morning all, 25 going up to 51 and saying sunny, but I don't see no sun.

Spent another 2 hours with the brushcutter yesterday. Finally broke through the last two dense sections of brush. Now it's all cleanup.

Of course when I got through on section, I saw some strange thin branches, Poison Ivy vines a few inches thick!
Seems I did not get any on me this time and will go out later to make sure the vine is separate from the root.


Looks like an ash graveyard back there, and still more large ones to come down.
Some branches were big that came down from high in the trees. They spear the ground and look like small dead trees as they stick out pretty vertical and deep. Makes me very cautious when near those trees and why I don't go in those areas on windy days.

Once I finish clearing this out, and the ground solidifies, it's tractor time to clear out rocks, trunks and stumps. Later in the season it will be flail time to keep it tame. Pictures will follow eventually.

Wagtail - arvo? Sad about the biker.

Yesterday went to police station to pick up Autism charity shirt, they run all kinds of charities and do good community work.
Right after that, was walking dog when 3 police cars quietly went up neighbor driveway across street and one more car up their neighbors driveway, no lights/sirens. Probably a home alarm went off, such a show of force though, must be a bigwig, lots of them around here.

Easy day today.

Stay safe and be well.

Our rain didn't last long, and the wind died down quickly here, and I got exactly a half inch of rain in my gauge.

Good morning! light rain ending soon, with a 20mph West wind and clear skies. 59˚F, .15" rain last night. Clear skies this afternoon with temps in the high 70s.

Bird, thanks for not taking all the rain. Hope your booster did not keep you awake, did you get the normal symptoms?

Welcome to the Good Morning thread UOFan. (University of Oklahoma?)

Mostly, pilates is not for the knee it's for everything else, and I usually have to cheat when I'm suppose to be kneeling. I have a pilates class later today. There is one guy there that had both knees replaced and has a bad shoulder so I get no sympathy from the instructor.

Next time I'm at Mom's I'll try out the vintage "air gun" that I posted yesterday, that Fuddy1952 correctly identified.

Good morning! 35 now, maybe 73 later. We had some freezing drizzle early this morning. That looks to be over.

I still drink Hamm’s at times, especially in the summer. $4.49/6 pack of tall boys is a great buy. And it tastes ok. Never have cared for A-B products. They have an odd taste to me. We have 3 local breweries that make some amazing beer. We have 2 others that are pretty bland.

Made beef fajitas for my wife’s birthday. That was a hit.

Her work truck had a Christine moment last week. Lights randomly flashing, warnings randomly coming on, horn randomly blowing, wipers coming on, etc. She had it hauled to the Ford dealer near work, turns out water got into the body control module. Now to be able to get parts.

@Kyle_in_Tex, yes, parity is good. But the sanctioning body created this mess. They were saying one thing in public while making back room deal with a manufacturer. The manufacturer never lived up to the deal, nothing was done to sanction them. So they now respond with significant restrictions That I believe are going to be a real problem when they get to the miles.

Well, gotta get busy.

Everyone stay safe out there

Good Morning
It’s 28 at home with a high in the 40.’s forecast.
Here in Wichita it’s 42 with a high of 52. Had some significant storms roll through last night, we were in the simulator and still heard occasional claps of thunder. By the time we were finished, the weather had passed.

Not much to report for today, other than it will all be inside, split between the classroom and simulator.
