Good Morning

49 going to 74 and NO rain in the forecast

Going to town to fill up with diesel. Prices are going up soon due to OPEC cut in production

Grass needs to be mowed. May do a portion today

Tinkered a little with the chainsaw yesterday. I may check the crankcase for leaks as Popgadget had suggested.

Daughter with tax problems for 2018 got it figured out. The tax expert for foreign income earned her money.That year she had a mix of foreign income from several countries as well as US income making it very complicated

Other daughter with rent problems is getting it settled today and starts her 3 days a week second job as waitress. She has done this before and is very charming with customers earning her good tips

Picked up some lumber from HD yesterday for the wood shed

Good Morning.
46 going to 70 under a sunny sky today. We got just over 4” of rain from the 4 day rain event. It’s going to take a few days of sun to get things dry enough to mow though.

Yesterday worked out well, got the scope rail off my friends Rifle by drilling out the offending screw. It’s amazing to me how many times things like this could be eliminated if people just used quality tools, or recognized the limitations of the tools that they have as well as their own skills. RNG’s comments about PO’s come to mind.

Still have to get a suit for son’s wedding, not high on my list of things that I want to do, but running out of time. Maybe today.

Not much else planned for today, have to wait for tomorrow to see what happened.

50°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 80° today. Watched some rain moving towards us on radar yesterday evening, then dissipate before it reached us. Typical of this year. When I left the house this morning, there were small puddles on the roads, so I guess we got something this early morning.

After walking the trash can back up from the road yesterday evening, I grabbed a rake and fixed the ruts in the driveway. My best guess at how it happened sat on a bench by the sunroom and watched.

Hope your wife is feeling better, Thomas.

Skunks are pretty efficient at tearing up turf, Drew.

Good morning, gents.

got some good gardening done and worked up a sweat. Asters planted, picked up a few more mums to put out.

69°F and 1,63 inches rain. Definitely needed it.

No distractions today. Should be a good project day.

First looking forward to a nice malasada with my coffee. Choice of chocolate, mango, pineapple, or apple filled. I’ll let Sophie chose first but no losers. Yesterday I had Bavarian crème and she had Cherry.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Extra prayers for your wife, Thomas

Good afternoon, the temp now is a balmy 60 and it is supposed to get to 63°F. Wind WSW 7 mph. A chance of T-showers.

Yesterday I went to bed about 8 P.M. in preparation for the trip to Markham. I coughed my butt off and flipped and flopped around the bed like a fish out of water. At midnight I surrendered and fired up the truck, went the the lot where I hide the wagons and a 30 minute circle check and I was off like a herd of turtles. I hit the big street at 1 A.M. and at 5 A.M. I had the 276 kms (172 miles) done and I was waiting for one of the day shift guys to vacate a parking spot so I could back in.
Pulling doubles is fun, but they can be a p.i.t.a to back up, kinda like pushing a chain. Keep in mind that I insist that all three units are EXACTLY straight as a die. I am fussy that way, so sue me.

Grabbed a 2 hour power nap while waiting for the manager, had a chat with him over the fact that I cannot pin the pup with my tractor due to the tractor being too long and what needed to be done to solve that problem. (Just move the 5th wheel back farther, mount and all). Got a couple of other things off my chest and off to home I went. Got home at noon.

Once I hit the big street again (north bound) did a steady 130 kms/hour (80 mph) and according to the computer in the Journey a steady 30.2 miles/US gallon.

Now I can get on with my 8 months of holidays.

Happy Birthday Scaredys better half.

Stay safe all
