Good morning!!!!

[Rich B1]

Good morning! 46° now, high of maybe 52° today. Drizzling right now.

Yesterday was nice. Worked on plans for a project then did some bike maintenance. Took the race bike up the road to verify the shift linkage works correctly. It is vastly better than it was.

Also watched the power company that owns the transmission lines on the other side of the road repair damage and clear trees from Saturday’s wind, looks like 3 trees went into the lines up on the hill. The flashes were pretty impressive when it happened Saturday. Fortunately our power doesn’t come from those lines. There are still people without power in the area.

Not sure what I will get into today, but I will find something.

Everyone stay safe out there.

Don, I remember when Whipper adopted y'all, and earned her way into y'all's hearts, slinging/killing snakes ahead of your trail to keep y'all safe. What a strange but wonderful habit for a dog. Folks, when I visited Don, Whipper was tolerant of me, stand offish, but made sure to clear the trail of snakes when we went for a golf cart ride.



Haven't heard from Wroughtn Harv in a while, I hope things are good for him. I did not make this event, but I did make it to Bird's birthday a year or 2 later and saw many of the same people. Good people.

Those were good times.
Talked to Harvey on the phone last week. Glenda and him are doing good.
You can see his post on IRV2.com.
Here is a link to the thread where he is building a Barn-dominion.

First things first. I have some short term memory issue stuff going on so if you see something that must be a typo, well, it might just be CRS corrupted with a little dementia. Jane is a 93 Winnebago

I don't sharpen our brush hogs, just leave them rounded off and let them beat the brush down and shatter any large stubs.

Good morning! Low of 25°, now only heading to 43° again. Winds kicked up higher too, 20-30 mph w/ gusts to 40 mph. Sunny for the next few days.

Don, I hope Whipper gets better. Any word on the bloodwork? Prayers for Whipper.

Drew, sorry about loosing the tire cover. Wonder if the tie string was weak and just broke....

Kilroy, glad the pup seems to be getting better! Glad that training is going good.

Due to the wind, probably won't spread the gravel today. I have become very selective in when / what conditions I will work in..... where did this come from?

Everyone have a great day!

with sharp blades you run the risk of making punji stakes out there, waiting for your tire sidewalls on the next pass...
I once sharpened my bush hog blades to mow a field and it did ok, clumped a lot. Then I had to be careful with it, though I scalped a few spots and that worked pretty well dulling the blades.
One case where sharp blades just aren't a good idea.

back from PT, my friend is exhausted, expect to have a quiet afternoon.
Sunny and 85 here

I never sharpened my brush hog blades and they work fine

I have some weeds, that 1 guy nick named them "bunch grass" tough as stainless cable when cutting. Only round up will kill them so far. Cutting those and bahia require reasonably sharp blades.

How about this old Minneapolis Moline, still hanging in there after the tragic loss of the USS Hornet.

65°F and .14 inches rain.

Another productive day yesterday and the grilled steak gathering enjoyable.

Taxes should get finished and filed today. Should be getting a return, not writing a check

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

63F and overcast. It was pure blue sky this morning. They are calling for rain later but looking at the radar it doesn't look like a sure thing.

Last Tuesday the head gardener (wife) decided it was spring enough. I planted 96 pansies out front while my wife planted lettuce and spinach in the vegetable garden. Wednesday she ordered a small mountain of mulch. (where am I supposed to park my truck?) My wife loves being out in the garden. I mowed the lawn Wed. All kinds of flowers blooming.

We have a crew from Glofiber in the neighborhood stringing cable. That starts by stringing galvanized steel cable which I guess they hang the fiberoptic cable from. We are tired if how slow the Verizon DSL is. It will be interesting to see how much fiber costs.

Take care all

Chris

Well, my bush hog is 19 years old and I've never sharpened the blades, either. Just thought it was about time. Maybe I should reconsider.
