Coffee is brewing. 48° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 71° with cloudy skies. Got wood chips moved to neighbors pile. About 4.5 yards. Need to change oil in whole house generator today. Then do some relaxing on back porch. Enjoying this warm spell of weather.
Thought this little guy was a Chipmunk. Until it turned around to eat its find.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
up early on a very nice Fall day, high of 73 today in sunshine

I have a new laser printer to set up this morning, then off to Costco to see how much trouble I can get into.
car finally made it into garage yesterday afternoon, think I heard it groan aaahhhhh.

then home to hook the trailer back up again, load the driveway scraper on it, for trip to relatives's farm tomorrow to try it out.
need to remember to ask my friend if he has two big cinder blocks.

Good morning! 73˚F chance of hail and tornado as cold front moves through a tumultuous day predicted by the sensationalist on TV.

So the question do I risk taking my truck in to the shop to get 3 electronic touch handle door locks fixed or wait till next week. The truck is out of warranty by 4 days so it does not really matter and they want $200 as a diagnose fee +. parts and labor to actually fix it and for me to deal with Ford if I think it should be covered under warranty, which I'm reading is nearly impossible, plus parts availability issues and no loaner cars since covid, they are still hurting financially, and my poor truck will be subject to the harsh weather, possibly hail later today and this is my last weekend to work. Think I just talked myself into delaying the repair till next week, my tractor pay spent so soon, sigh. I exhausted all possible internet searches to figure out the problem. If they have to replace the door handle they only come primed so they will have to be painted. More $$$$ and time.

if you have three bad door handles, this sounds like a recall item. Door handles are an ingress/egress safety item and I wonder if they
are part of longer warranty?
Nice Ranger, this is sure unexpected.
did you find other instances online?

something similar happened to me when I owned a VW Golf TDI. VW dealership flat out lied to me, denied there was an issue regarding
water ingestion during winter months due to defective design of intake manifold. Finally corporate admitted it and recalled them all.
VW dealer knew all about it, just stonewalled.

I would sure keep the repair bill....and I hope they fix it for you.

46 going to 72.

BEF, good news on your doctor visit, and Sodamo, good to hear the report on Sophie's eyes.

Mostly, the mulch cover blocks the mower deck exit opening to keep the leaves in the path of the blades longer. Shreds them well.

Hiked to what I've now added to my favorite mountain list...Spy Rock, from Crabtree and The Priest. Ended up hiking to a shelter further down the trail, and setting a new distance record for me. Still running into thru-hikers, all headed south, of course. Talked with one younger man for a while that is prepping to start his thru-hike in February...plans to get arrive at this spot on April 21...I told him I'd be there hiking and look forward to seeing him again.

I think I'll take a conservation day and go get some Tex-Mex to recharge.

Hiked through an old apple orchard, and had to dodge apples on the trail.

Good morning! 49 going to 71 very mild today

Going to return the defective ignition coil for the Stihl chainsaw this morning. Was reviewing again the installation but concluded that it is defective coil. Not very complicated installation.
Wife's shoulder pains are getting worse and trying to help her as much possible. Shoulder joints are down to bone on bone that is painful when moving.

It looked like winter already.
