Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

58 outside this AM. Heading to mid 70's.

Rained a little to wet the sidewalk down last night. Not gonna help the drought much.

Will clean up the equipment today and get it ready for winter storage. May work on some cabinetry.

Hope all have a good day, be safe.

Along the driveway we have a tall dead pine leaning on the neighbors property that will fall on the driveway at some point. Avoiding walking past as much as possible

Good Morning
56° and fair skies. High of 63 forecast.
Yesterday was grey all day, looked like snow, but it was too warm. We did get 1/4” of badly needed rain.
I did the plumbing for the hot water recirculation, added a thermal bypass valve and a circulator, but the boiler doesn’t seem to control the pump as it should. I’ll investigate that today.
I took care of a few other chores along the way, we did take advantage of the cold drizzling evening to christen the fireplace.

Oldest son gave us a Roomba that he didn’t use, it was like new and much better built than the Eufy clone that we had. It took quite a bit of determination to get it reset to remove it from their account, and set up one of our own, as you really need to control it from the app.
The issue was that it needed to be connected to the app to reset it, and wouldn’t connect to the app because it was registered to my son. But in the long run I prevailed.

Today will likely be a Costco run, and figure out why the boiler doesn’t run the recirculating pump for more than about 10 seconds. Also need to get a metal ash bucket with a lid to clean out the fireplace.

Sky has gone overcast as I was typing, wonder what’s up with that. I hear the Roomba out in the hallway, so that seems to be working as it should. It’s time to start today’s adventures.

Couldn't believe the rain gauge when I got there...over an inch...never heard it rain that hard, but it was steady for a long while. Maybe it shifted to high gear after I went to bed. So thankful since it's been so dry for so long.

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.

You'd be a great neighbor! Move here any time.

Morning all,
A pleasant morning here today at 50F already heading for 60F, not going to be as nice the rest of the week calling for low 20's at night.
Been an expensive week and going to possibly stay that way. Went ahead and order a new pair of year tires to replace the 18.4-30's on the Branson and planning on putting the old Branson rears on the rear of the IH574. Then my wife has been contemplating and looking at new cars. Waiting on a couple of phone calls and she is torn between a new gas power Equinox and leaning more towards the Equinox EV so waiting to see what transpires there. Waiting on my contractor to show on the porch remodel again he got started some last week.
Other then that a laid back week, Marine Corp birthday yesterday and Veterans day today, may swing by the VFW for a light lunch today.

All stay safe and get well.

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! Happy Veterans Day to all! 57 going to a high of 67 with a heavy fog. Rained hard last night here, which is all well, we needed it badly. Could quite literally hear it soaking into the ground.

Had some stomach trouble this past Friday, and didn't truly feel myself again until Sunday. Don't know what that was about, but it's gone now.

Did some minor puttering on Sunday, and got more diesel for the tractor and gas for the log splitter. Need to check and make sure I have enough two-stroke fuel for the saws as this coming weekend is the Great Firewood Gathering Session. Also collected spare rubber from the old garden and moved it for my father:

Main goals this week: Survive workweek, verify all things in place for the GFGS.

Enjoy the week y'all! Stay safe and healthy out there!

just picked the yummiest blackberry, tons more on the vine but frost will get them.

had to come back in for a sweater, now headed out to new shed to install inside light solar powered.
nothing like drilling holes in something new...need to get tube of silicone/caulk to seal the hole.
still pretty cloudy out but should clear up

Morning all, 49 going up to almost 70, we had less than the forecaset 1/2" of rain.
We will see if this is enough to lift burn ban.

Did some more cleanup around house, put up some lights. Ran out of steam so we took dog for a walk.

Happy veterans day!

Be well,

Slight road block, other side of town. Why hitch ball size matters. Luckily did not start traveling down the hill.

that's the train crossing on Aquetong Road. Was born and raised two miles South on Aquetong.
folks come down that hill and go over the tracks too fast and can catch some air coming down.
I wonder what kind of truck was pulling that Airstream. Looks like it came out of a field.
