Good evening all. Thanks to all the Veterans for your service. 47ºF for the start, overcast, windy. Windy day, .2 inch in rain gauge, overcast all day. Low temp was 62ºF at 12:01 AM, and low temp is forecast to be 37ºF. No bike ride today, not motivated enough to go out.

Randy(wag) hope you can stack wood in rain.

Nope! I mean I could but, being retired, why bother. I did accomplish a fair amount to day...

Only one 'wood scorpion' encountered so far. I was surprised the first time, years ago, when I found that scorpions live in Tasmania. But that's why I always wear long-sleeve shirts and riggers-gloves when stacking.

It was rough hearing about Roy's passing... so much so that I waited until 'confirmation'. RIP.

Good morning all

68° now, 1.1” rain since yesterday afternoon more due later this morning. may see some sunshine by noon.

Not much planned for today, dump run this morning and putter around the rest of the day.

Rest in peace Roy, prayers for family and friends

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone will have a great weekend!
I started my day with the delicious coffee and daily Wordle and its best friend word finder https://word-finder.com/words-that-stаrt-with/soh/ and a long walk after that. What a nice beginning of the day. right?

Coffee has finished brewing. 33° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 41° with some rain showers in afternoon. Got started on leaf cleanup by rolling garbage can slowly dying. Added a pair of wear pads on bottom of can. Garbage company says they will replace any damage to there can. After you spend $100 for a new can. While they work hard to destroy your can. I am winning so far. Fridge tech showed up early. Found Compressor us bad. New one on order. Back at leaf cleanup up and water spicket shut off today.
Very well fed Squirrel.

Roy is going to be missed. He was very active here on GM thread.

Buckeye, not having any bills will make life easier for retirement. It's been over 18 years since I retired at 62. Health insurance was very expensive the first 3 years. Then Medicare started. Big savings. But now it is going up because of my age. Taxes are going up on property. I have no plans on selling. It's where I keep active. Hope you can work it out. Working parttime like Thomas helps.

Don, I think I need to ask you to close the door. Last 2 days it has been 70° and upper 60°. Now it's going to be freezing almost every night and snow next week. This is the time of year I packed up the motorhome and headed down your way.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

LOL, L4N, I think I figured out what all this voting business is about South of the border.

Did they vote to legalise marijuana? Lower the drinking age? Legalize abortions? Inquiring minds need to know.

sitting here kind of stunned, trying to take in Roy's passing
My early morning buddy, no longer.
Prayers for Suzette and their family.

I was sad to hear of Roy's Passing. We'll miss him. He made a big contribution.

very warm 66 out now, high of 68 while Wunderground has a freeze warning out for Sunday night.
Ten day forecast has a 23 in it.
I need to find a peach basket to put over a plant outside.

time for breakfast, then get organized for electrician coming in a few hours.
Need to move stuff out of his way, put towels down. Opening that ceiling trap door in my spotless
guest bedroom is a concern, been forever likely since it's been open. Think I'll put a tarp on the bed.

of course, there may be a chest of gold doubloons up there.
Actually will be interesting to see how little insulation is in the attic.
Would be pretty easy to blow in some more insulation, window near that attic pull down, but first need to get the new
bathroom vent fan in. Really hope the fan goes all the way up and not just dumps into attic.

Good morning, 59 now going to 69. Very warm and rain is gone. Daughter with hip replacement continues to do well. Daughter with new restaurant job has started and doing well and happy. Son with PTSD doing well. Wife has escaped the infection so far. I am over it but still masking indoors just in case. Neighbor with property line issue is AWOL. Thumb on excavator will not retract so need to check it out. The service requirement for the KX 033-4 are very minimal. For instance first engine oil change is at 500 hours.

Some of the leaves are still hanging on the trees:
