Good Morning!

80°F and cloudy, damp conditions. Predicted to go to 86 but I think it will go higher. We are already 10° higher than the average daily high. Feels like only 79° with the 8 mph winds out of the SSW. Humidity is 76%.

The wife is in East Texas today and just completed 3 property appraisal protests. Successfully, from the point that she got what she asked for on two and a substantial reduction but just above what she asked for on the third. These were from 2024 so we are going to get a partial refund on the taxes we had to pay last year on those properties. Won't be that much but if you don't contest them every year 'appraisal creep' will get you before you know it. Now we will be turning right around in a month or so and protesting for 2025. She did a great job last year and got a reduction on our primary homestead of over $100K. Some people don't realize how much they are over appraised on their property.

Good to hear a good report on Holly, Buppies!

mostly, I hope no serious bodily injuries came from that bike accident.

Seems like the 5+ years were getting more ice storms than snow another freezing rain arriving later tonight.

Hope the weather gets better soon! Stay warm and dry!

Vt, 20 to start going to 43, with partial or muted sun this morning. Looks like snow coming in tonite, hopefully not much.

Hope you can stay inside and enjoy a warm fire!

Good morning,
30° now, mix of sun and clouds early then cloudy, highs in low 40’s. Winds ESE at 5-10 mph.

Hope it gets better!

......... the low is 14 and going up to 32°F.

Our cold front predicted for next week has the lows in the 40's.

Now that son has driven for a year with no accidents, I renegotiated insurance down about 30% and got a credit back. Still expensive, but a big chunk less.

Always helps to keep negotiating with them!

Time for a second cup.

Never a bad time for another cup of coffee. I don't usually like flavored coffee but the other day all they had at the Grill was "Bluebonnet" flavored coffee. Wasn't as bad as I expected.

Having worked with tire and wheels for 40 years. We called it a “tire and wheel assembly”. Rim is where the weight was applied to a steel and some aluminum wheels for balancing.

That is what I always called it too.

Nice old tractor Don. Hope the project turns out well.

Well I'm home successful sale and delivery of a set of Equinox wheels that had just been gathering dust, full asking price and an additional $50 for delivery. Nice guy friendly and easy to find with the gps, especially after I had googled him and his address last night.

Glad to hear that Lou!

Everyone have a great afternoon! Prayers for our Nation!

ford dealer called, said correct transmission parts came in this morning, but they were damaged.
third set just received, I told them tomorrow morning was fine.
am tuckered out for today, after waxing half the rv.

roses look really nice, put them in bucket of water overnight

maybe one more walk outside, run the little weedeater out by mailbox.
so wet out there, grass has started to jump up in spots.

So yesterday we had 2 strange kids trying to hide (poorly) in our backyard.
We confronted them and they apologized.
Seems they have this thing for HS seniors called Senior assassin where they all try to get each other with water guns and the last group to get tagged gets a prize.

Ours played that, but they shot rubber bands at each other.

Buppies, glad good visit
I usually appeal my county assessment, and they will drop it some.

Temps in mid 50s is great for working outside, not too hot. Came in for lunch at 3 pm and think i'm done for the day. Got good bit done. Squared up where the lower deck will go. Got middle post installed that lines up with lower deck now. Still got to decide how wide to go with the "bridge" between the 2 decks. Got things cleaned up, and ready to start removing more deck boards, and time to start installing. Working around the posts will take awhile, then it should go pretty quick.

right now rain predictions for fri-sat not very much, but think I want to get the main deck done before I start building the lower deck. There is an existing lower deck, but it's all getting rebuilt.

At my old house in NJ,
I contested the tax hike it first year they reassessed, and won.

Second year they changed the rules so that the assessment had to be off by > $150,000 in order to contest it.

If the rules work against you, just change them, One of the many reasons I left for PA.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I really need to leave MD. Our new governor Spend Moore is attrocious. Right up there with the CA gov. So much wasteful spending, and they just keep raising taxes.

this will look better with chairs around it
not sure if I will leave plastic firepit cover on
need to find flower pot for center

Good Evening,

Got things cleaned up, and ready to start removing more deck boards, and time to start installing

Dennis glad you’re making good progress. I finished removing all the deck boards on this deck and put tape down on all the joists. Put a couple boards down to see how it would look, seems good. Hopefully the weather doesn’t deliver too much snow tonite.

Lou, glad tire assemblies went smoothly on the delivery. Glad you got asking price.
