Good morning!!!!

Good morning
29° with a high of 55 and RAIN forecast for this evening.

Been a few days, but I’m alive and well, still puttering around cleaning up and making tweaks and changes, but settling in nicely. Zoe is getting comfortable here as well.

We have relatively hard water, it was a pain cleaning the water spots off the windows where the sprinklers hit them, but CLR bathroom cleaner did the trick. Had to follow up with glass cleaner,but they look clear now. The sprinklers did their job, we have an established lawn in less than a month. It will make a big difference on what Zoe tracks into the house over the winter.

Today’s project is to add a recirculating pump and plumbing so that it’s not a two minute wait to get hot water at the kitchen sink. I suspected it would be an issue, but didn’t deal with it when it would have been easier.

I think that we might have the inaugural fire in the fireplace tonight, I’ve got a load of split wood in the carryall as well as split scraps of cedar siding for kindling in preparation.

Not much else to report.

Not sure how the laws reads,but the unwritten law around these parts if tree trunk still connected on the landowners property it's up them to clean it up.

A good neighbor would clean it up regardless. Especially after you offered them to come on your land to do it.

good morning, 45 going to 57 mini split working good

Ron, agreed we need to stick together on exercises

Need to move the split firewood before the rain comes in later this afternoon

The fire rings are not the same diameter so had to weld in a few angle iron pieces for the top ring to sit on. Now have a place to burn off files that I don't want to end up in trash.

Today is also the day for jacking up the beam a little further. It is lifting up wall above 3 levels high

I have cleaned up my neighbors trees that have fallen on my place, and I have cleaned up my trees that have fallen on their place.

I'm just trying to be neighborly.

44 outside this AM, grey and expecting rain later. We need at least a week of soaker type rains, and that might not get us back to average.

Managed to mow the grasses all around the farm yesterday. Even got the weed whacker out. It was like I was back in the desert, dry, dusty and messy. Just a little left.

Paid respects to the neighbors. Police still on the lookout. We have little to no enforcement within our community. We are rural and have seen police on my road maybe three times in twenty years. The traffic is of course higher these days. I usually pick up five or six cans of light beer empties a week on our road.
Talking with our supervisors and state government on lowering speed limits on these back roads has proven fruitless these past few years. A lot of people have tried to no avail. Here is hoping something changes.

Remember to honor our veterans tomorrow.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

This pain has been recurring for two weeks gets better then worse. Did it weedeating in the spring. Went away then came back. Doctors appointment soon.

Went back to sleep just got up more rested now.

Thomas hope neighbors do the right thing. In Virginia if a tree is leaning towards your property notifications to land owner. If it falls it becomes his responsibility to remove fix what damage it caused. I will ask my legal eagle for confirmation.

Forgot to cut A/C off last night cold in house this morning

Nice service wngsprd your mom was something else.

ESPN did special on Kirk Herbstreets golden yesterday who died this week. We have lost four that way made me cry. Pets are angels from heaven.

Glad your pain is over sodamo

Prayers for all our Country

Are your roads county maintained or VDOT? If VDOT controlled pound on their door which can force them to do a study.
Just a suggestion

There have been two studies in the past few years.

No common sense recommendations like lowering the speed limits have happened.

If no speed limit signs are posted, rural roads (six hundred series) in VA have a limit of 55mph. Of course that means 60mph and a little more are average to the common driver.

Morning all, 33 going to 60 and saying rain (.3") tonight, we'll see...

Son got a job as Cashier at a local supermarket since his other place is seasonal.

Got paperwork done for new (used) car and cleaned out hoses and put away sprinklers etc.
Went shopping, but did not feel well so came home and wife went back out to finish shopping.

Today may start getting some hooks up for Christmas lights so don't have to take out big ladder.
Wife ordered some string lights so I can restring the big star she has as most of those bulbs have burned out.

Happy birthday to your son BEF.

Drew stopped by with presents of apples and a pool float, very nice

Sodamo, I passed a stone once, it took more than a week, so glad yours went through relatively quickly. Not fun..

Our road is posted at 25, doesn't make a difference.

Be well,

Another project, just fixed some more halloween decorations, now fixing Christmas decorations.
The welding we bought is holding up, so will restring lights.

Same here. Paved roads are 35 & 45 mph. School buses are some the worst speeders on my road.
