Good morning!!!!

[Mark P.]

Afternoon - currently 91°

Had a nice weekend, grass cut and hickory nuts picked up..I hate them, 4 trees and get a solid pail every day.. Will have them again in Sept... Squirels eat so much at the feeders they don't eaven mess with them.. When I was a boy, we would find a hickory tree and plant our butts under it and always go home with a mess of squirels to clean.. My mom could fry them so well you couldn't stop eating them..

Thomas -- what time do the critters come by at night when you are resting on the porch??

Have a great day everyone

i picked up this sharpening set off AmazOn for $40, it has 400/100/300/8000 plus the leather strip and green compound and two sharpening guides for proper angle. I have a good set of Norton Stones (1000/2000/4000/8000) for my straight razors, one stone cost more than the kit did! But for tools that is good enough.

Good Afternoon KilroyJC,
Are your Norton stones oil! I have a couple of Norton stones that are oil. Not sure if the manufacturer of the water stones !
Here is a picture of my last project for my grandsons, toy/blanket chests made out of white oak with black walnut panels , and lined the floor with aromatic cedar !

Don’t worry - before long the board will be filled with people complaining about shoveling their driveways…

That's fact

Interior mowing done and now a bit of rain falling.
A couple of days before next cycle

Smoke has moved in, no rain still here

Mowed some down in the meadow and bent the bracket for the scalping wheel. Back to the barn and using a large pipe wrench to bend it back straight. One of the blades also came loose so replaced washers, can and bolt. All good now.

Drew, that is quite the trip.

Actually I use the tractor for the firewood. It is easier to scoop it up with the loader and hold the bucket in the right height for stacking. The RTV is used as a platform to stand on for stacking up to 10 ft high.

All this severe wx of the last year or so, severe storms, flooding, fires, blizzards, extreme and prolonged temps, etc seems to me they just maybe related to all these climate change actions, aggravating not fixing the problems. Just maybe Mother Nature was doing better on her own.

Between plant earth and mother nature the problem will be solve if human race doesn't smarten up.
