Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

57F light rain gusting winds..talk about night day from yesterday weather.
Looks like all outside work put on hold least to Monday afternoon

Maybe little fish fry later tonight...Mrs. catch some dandy bass yesterday evening.

its partly sunny warming up to 71 today,with chance of showers this afternoon.we have 48 degrees this morning.

It is supposed to be a nice day today, but it is still soaking wet from the massive rain and t-storms yesterday. Driving home from work I was in some seriously heavy rain, so hard that you could only see maybe 2 car lengths ahead with wipers at hyperspeed...

Crazy...

SO, that's where all MY rain went. I was prepared for a major storm and dealing with two very thunder phobic dogs but all we got was about 10 minutes of rain, no thunder. Not even enough to give the new flower beds a decent soaking.

A pleasant 53 right now and only supposed to get up to about 68, perfect for getting lots of work done outside.

Time for me to step away from the computer and do some "work".

These weather systems (we had two in PA...one coming up from the south, the other from western PA) were pretty narrow, but very long. Although we had heavy rain, the brunt of the storms were a few miles away.
You folks in VA also had two systems...the one west of you and the one that came up on the coast (I believe that east coast system had two tornadoes...one in North Carolina, the other in Newport News or Chesapeake).
Anyway, Solly...you were lucky enough to be between those storm systems.

60 degrees here, forecast was calling for rain today but it's sunny and dry so far. We got 1- 1/2 inches of rainfall recently...a fair amount.

Going to a graduation party tomorrow....my 42 year old step sister got her degree at long last and now I hope she can find a career that suits her. When I was 42 years old I had already been working full time for 23 years.

 

[Mousefield]

Cool today, high of only 14C or 57F. Forecast is for sun/cloud mix. Cold enough in the house I think I will put the wood stove on.

Morning all ....

Looks like a beautiful day here at the moment - bright sun and 57 degrees with some wind .... supposed to get up to around 70 or so ....

Yesterday I spent most of the day working inside the barn - mostly cleaning and moving two temporary sawhorse workbenches that we keep the tools on ....

With all the rain yesterday it's likely to be sloppy outside on the perimeter, even in the well drained areas, until sometime later this afternoon .... so I'll probably continue straightening up inside .... although I might be able to get some mowing done.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable and productive day.

Feels like fall this morning, cool breeze and dry air, got some much needed rain but not really enough, no real storms here. Got to mow some grass, the dry weather kept the new from growing much and I don't want to kill it, so I'll mow the established and leave the rest ugly, like me!

Good afternoon all, 60F start this morning, going to 82, light breeze. Maybe rain Monday, wish we got more rain last Thursday. Oh well garden is watered. Have a good weekend.

 

[ronjhall]

Made the coffee and drank 1/2 the pot already. 60 degrees this morning clouds. Heading to 72 with more clouds and chance of rain. Rain held off for kite show yesterday. But wind made it almost impossible except for the most skilled. Need to get RV covered. Not going to be used again until August.
Good Morning All.

Yesterday was good and bad. I went to my dealer and got a filter and some cool metal for my ballast/tool box idea, plus a homebuilt carry all. I also went to a JD dealer to get belts for my mower deck I had welded on Friday.

Friday evening I had noticed the passenger front wheel on my F-150 was making noise like maybe a wheel bearing. Yesterday morning it was MUCH worse... I stopped at a local shop and their rate for an oil change and a wheel bearing was reasonable... Here is the BAD part... Not a wheel bearing, it was a $1225 brake job!!!! OOF! I was NOT planning for that expense...

While they fixed my truck I did fix my mower & mowed with my girls...

It is VERY nice outside now. I slept with all the windows wide open and that was nice also.

Gotta feed animals and head for Church soon.

Be well all,
David

$1200 brake job!!!! Wow, I'm use to $200-$300 brake jobs on trucks.
Anyway, 59 here, quite cool for the season, cool for a few days then Eastern Shore summer sets in for 3 months.

 

[Thomas]

53F light mist,again no need to water garden again today.
June starting of damp month,and the golden pollen giving everything new paint job.

Front rotors, calipers and pads, rear pads, brake line fill/flush and an oil change... grrrrr

 

[deerseeker001]

it looks like a nice sunny day in store,it 52 and topping out at 77 today

 

[JDgreen227]

$1225 for a brake job !!! OUCH. A year and a half ago I did a brake job on my Lesabre, new pads all the way around and 4 new rotors, plus rebuild front calipers...about $400 for all new parts better than OEM quality.

HOWEVER...many people don't have the time to do a project like that one. What ticks me off about brakes today is they make the rotors so thin they cannot be turned even one time, you have to replace them. My GMC needs to be done next year and it's gonna be REALLY expensive, it's a 3/4 ton model. David, your truck probably uses large rims and tires, right?

It baffles me why automakers are constantly trying to reduce weight of their cars and trucks but they keep installing ever-larger rims and tires. 63 here now gonna go take my boys out.

61 and a lovelt Sunday morning!! Forecast calls for a high of 73 and sunny...possibility of thunderstorms (as if we eed that!)

$1225 brake job!! Well, Fords always did have crappy front rotors!! I hope you bought aftermarket rather then the OEM.
Jeez, MossflowerWoods...you have had a crappy last couple months!

I had a $700 brake job done about a month ago. Sucks. Last time I did it myself, I had problems getting the right rotors. Autozone screwed up 2x. I brought the old rotor in, found there were 3 different rotors for a 3/4 ton truck. Kinda a crapshoot getting the right one. I'd probably been better off going to the dealer for parts.

Been up for a couple of hours, just been eating bfast and drinking coffee. I need to do some work on my wife's shop, but first we are going for a ride. Gonna take our furry kids, they like rides. We are going to stop at Panera bread, to buy a gift card for my fil's bday. Old guy goes to Panara now that his old coffee shop closed. Probably a bit more expensive to sit in Panara than the old Dunkin donuts!!
