Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I'm so far behind. It's been busy at work and home. Hope I didn't miss any major news.

I did sit down to watch the Astros win it all last night. Phillies have some awesome hitters and pitching. They'll be back.

Hey Kyle……I am learning getting a good start on a J&M Kawasaki with 100 HP is a lot trickier than getting a good start on Trackmaster Triumph with 60 HP. I am still learning the secret hand shake.

Everyone stay safe out there!

Rich, that should be plenty of horsepower to get around a track... Wish you well. Did you see the post by JD Beach about the yamaha teams being snubbed in the pits? I'm glad I wasn't at the race that Mees grabbed his helmet and shook him....I would've been over the fence....and it takes a lot to get me mad.

RNG, I try to find vehicles with about 80-90K on them that are cheeep. The guy is right about being able to work on those 2000-2005,6,7 type cars. Simpler and parts are cheaper for the American cars because of aftermarket. You already know about having the very rare vehicle and keeping it going.

It's been a Weak "Battery Week". Started with the old Gator, that was cheap. But then the car started throwing codes and had a time when it barely started. The car takes TWO batteries. A big AGM in the front, and a smaller AUX12 AGM in the back which covers for the Auto Stop engine....which I hate. Then the Yukon wouldn't start, another AGM battery...so about $550 batteries in a couple of weeks.

Tried to put a new capacitor in a non working hunter ceiling fan. Didn't work. Time for a new fan. I think the old fan is only 3-4 years old, but can't find rec't yet.

I might go to the church to work on the youth building's doors. Both have problems with the lock strikers matching

Took my son to the new Bush Combat Development Complex's open house. A handful of dignitaries were there. Good for my son to see stuff like that. I wonder how they will keep spies out of there. They say it will be one of the most secure places in the world..

We got .7" of rain on Friday night. Thank you.

Prayers for our team, our country, Ukraine, and for Putin to fear God.

Good (Monday) morning. An overnight Low of 11C with a predicted High of 24C... it's presently 20.4C, clear with a steady breeze and no rain.

Apparently today is a State "Recreation Day" holiday. When you're retired, these types of days sure do surprise you when they occur.

It's dhobi-day and I may get in some recreational house cleaning.

Take care all.

55F and clear @ 20:30, heading down to around 48F in the overnight for the low. High hit 71.2F here today with mixed sun and clouds.

Got insurance bill scheduled for payment first thing this morning.

Otherwise a change of pace for today:

Took box blade off and stuck on PHD on the Kubota with the 2' auger and got four planting holes drilled.

Tulip, Red Maple, and the Japanese Flowering Cherry "Kwanzan" trees all planted and well watered in, also one of the (two) Dwarf Burning Bushes. Will do the other one tomorrow probably after going in for my flu shot.

Stuck three t-posts in around two of the trees, which will hopefully keep the deer off of them until we can get them properly protected tomorrow.

Noticed while putting on the PHD hopper feeder was already empty again. So will need to refill that tomorrow as well.

When I went up to get the second bucketload of screened compost these two were up there:

​

Think that might be a different buck, his rack looked bigger. Maybe a 10 point ?

He let me get to within about 20' of him before he turned around and headed for the neighbor's woods.

He didn't go too far though ... seemed pretty reluctant to leave his doe behind:

She headed in the opposite direction and I hadn't even made it back over to the shop and he was hot on her trail heading after her:

​

Love is in the air ...

Need to run over and shut things down in the barn.

Then see what I can scrounge up for desert ... probably some Entenmann's Cheese Danish.

Hope everyone had a great Sunday ...

My question: have anyone here that have lived all their life in Texas ever had a really, really close call with a tornado?

I was in Houston and a front moved in it got real dark and windy, I pulled into a parking lot my car shook and rocked real hard and half of the windows were pelted with roof gravel, from the parking lots building, and were knocked out. People thought I was the result of a drive by shooting when they saw my car.

Another one came next to our condo in Houston and tore out the tennis court fences and up-rooted some trees in the adjacent park.

Both incident were on TV as verified tornadoes, probably F-1s.

Have never had any home damage.

Just last week the card games were abruptly stopped when the tornado sirens went off and everyone had to get to the interior of the building next to the tornado shelter signs. But the tornado touched down about 7 miles away.

I smaller AUX12 AGM in the back which covers for the Auto Stop engine....which I hate. Then the Yukon wouldn't start, another AGM battery...so about $550 batteries in a couple of weeks.

Can you not get into the computer and disable the auto-stop/start?
