40 heading to 58. Got some rain yesterday, unfortunately it came while we were hiking far from the truck.

Ron, why would they shut down the freeway for so long?

They've been installing fiber underground all around here...finally. It's interesting to see the boring machine going under roads and farmland.

Fall colors on the maples are getting near peak. The yellow poplars are pretty much over, but the hickories make up for them. Oaks are still green. Seen above average acorn crop...the wildlife service does a survey of the mast crop each year and says this year is very spotty.

Cleaned up some old fence wire and posts and made a dump run. Today may be Costco and flu shots.

Wngsprd, they have been working on this freeway project for 3 years. Nothing makes sense with what they have been doing with shut downs. The county dirt road I live on is like a freeway some days. Today freeway is already down to 1 lane in each direction. This is a 4 lane freeway.

Good Morning,
Ct, 36 to start going to 54 ! No rain in sight but we need it !

Got my Flu shot with a dose of 19 serum. Have a sore arm this morning.

GM Ron, yep sore arm was with me for a day or two ! Other than that everything seems Ok !

Got garden cleaned up yesterday and even pulled in a few stragglers, some peppers and cherry tomatoes! Also took the canvas top off of our little gazebo on the back deck.

Went down to the local auto parts store and bought oil and filter for the Ford F150 along with a couple other odds and ends. Managed to get the oil and filter changed, and then brought the 5 gallon can of waste oil down to my friends garage since he has a waste oil burner.

Not sure what’s on tap for today yet !

Hope all have a good Wednesday!

Good morning! 40 here this morning with a high about 60 today.
Not ready for the cold yet. Supposed to hit the freezing mark tomorrow morning.
Uneventful day as I gave the tractor and my body a break. Ran some errands and took the dog to a park. Seems kinda dumb because I live on 22 acres of wooded land. He likes it though.
Nearing the end of the rock and stone gathering I think. I have at least 40 tons waiting and ready to go.
Just waiting on a steel tank. If anyone knows of 8 to 10k tank available in WNC please let me know.
Still dealing with FEMA but not holding my breath.
Probably get back on the tractor and clean up my hauling and recoup what I can from where the bridge actually washed out. That takes waders and labor.
I am getting to old for this s**t.
Everyone have a great day!!

Good Morning.
40° under a clear sky and a forecast high in the low 50’s.
Still no rain, I’m running sprinklers on the seeded areas, keeping my fingers crossed they turn green.

Yesterday was partially consumed by the test flight, but I still got to check off a few boxes when I got home. One issue was that I had made a mirror frame for the bathroom and mounted it to get approval from the missus. Then sent it to the glass shop for a mirror. In the meantime I installed the light over it. Of course when I went to hang it up, the light was in the way. So I had to lower the wall cleats 1-7/8”, fortunately the old holes remained behind the mirror.

I cut up a batch of stainless tubing for closet rods, hopefully they will get installed in my absence today, along with towel rods robe hooks, toilet paper holder, etc. hopefully the inspector will be pleased with what he sees.

I’ve got to get going, off to Palm Beach this morning, can’t wait to get back and see how things went.

Popgadget fair skies, don't get blown around in this wind

Ron, it would be wonderful if they paved the road in front of you.
But then folks would do 60+ there...
what's bad is when someone usually in a pickup is rocketing towards you putting up a huge plume of dust, and it's coming for you. Good thing you changed your air filters.

my rv gets dirtiest on the rear, from light road dirt I can usually squirt off with a hose.
road crud is heaviest on driver's side, I think due to more truck rubber on road there.
I usually drive right on line, on far right side, often hit those whirry sounding strips,
annoying as can be because it sets up a harmonic in rv and rattles like mad.

I've gone all this way and not hit rain yet except for shower couple of days in.
dry as a bone
and hazy
all the West had a haze, never saw it crystal clear

if this rv was a boat, I'd go put another line on.
wind gusts are entertaining, though it's picking up my cover on front windshield and magnet ends are wacking onto something. Surprised my folding chair is not knocked over, must be in lee of rv.

Bill good luck with test. Cost a good investment in yourself.
you just had a significant event, so if docs clear you, hope to hear of more
travels on your part. And get healthy, stay healthy.
easier said than done unfortunately
