Terrible weekend. an uninsured vehicle plowed into the back of my truck on the freeway and my BIL died after a routine CT scan, (two totally separate incidents).
Don,
I'm so sorry to hear that. That is a bad weekend. Prayers for you and all concerned.

Greetings! I didn't realize it was so long since I posted.

Nice little cold snap this morning! It was ~50F this morning but the "feels like" temp was 38*F! It was amazing! Wind was blowing hard and all day.

Tomorrow will be Sunny so probably much better!

Of course, once I returned home, that put me in a 'what needs to be limbed around here' mood. It's a never-ending task when you have trees, eh?
I know that feeling! Once you get started....

Two_bit Sorry so war down there so soon. I am going to have 4 days with highs below 60ºF. Good to hear the appraisal protests went so well. I was on gravel road so minimized damage to wheel and derailleur. Bike did not go down, so no injury
Glad it was no worse that that mostly!

Only one Sandhill Crane coming to cleanup lately.
Ron, a friend keeps telling me those cranes are good to eat.

Two projects from the shop.
A box project made of zebra wood.(smells like a septic system when you work on it!)
Beautiful work!

Back to grape arbor and other chores today due to forecasted 25 mph winds.
That wind will get ya.

Is there a course available for seniors on how properly find things?
I always go with: It will turn up sooner or later. Sometimes I forget I was searching for it to begin with!

Goodnight All! Wishing All a Great Monday and all week long!

Prayers For Our Nation!

Coffee is brewing. 28° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 42° with cloudy skies. Got one mower ready for mowing grass in a couple of weeks. Then helped neighbor remove engine from a ZT mower. Looks like main crank seal is leaking on it. Watched NASCAR race for about 15 minutes. Going to work on tractor and mower today.

Two Bit, I still have a fan blade on my cannot find list for over 5 years. I heard the smae about the Cranes. But they are protected in Michigan.

Good Morning All.

Good morning,
38° now, highs around 40° with rain and snow showers today. Winds ENE 5-10 mph.

Quiet day yesterday, definitely qualified as an “energy conservation” day. The sun did poke out for a few hours in the afternoon.

Not much planned today, a couple of errands this morning and then take it as it comes.

Don - sorry about truck
Condolences on loss of BIL

Prayers for all dealing with this crazy weather
 
   / Good morning!!!! #205,429  
good morning, 42 going to 47 with light rain

Fired up since it is colder today

Don, Sorry to hear about your truck and BIL

Not sure what I may get into but if the rain stops may do some stick pick up
 
   / Good morning!!!! #205,430  
48 outside, that should be the high for today. Raining finally. After numerous reports that it would rain all day yesterday, it finally shows up this AM.

Managed to get one burn pile lit yesterday, three to go. Obviously have to wait now. More reclaiming the front yard from the tree rounds. If I split any more, not sure where I can put the wood. I have no more out buildings with space available.

Hope all have a good start to the work week. Be safe.
