woke up early when power went off about an hour ago.
fired up generator and still no power in part of house.
checked all the gfis. Nope.

power to the people

on and off rain today, supposed to be a community meet the police function in main shopping center parking lot
this morning. Hope they don't get rained out, I might go down and say hello

Really hope Buppies and Holly had a good night
and the puppy too!

 

[daugen]

off grid? got magnets?
this looked pretty cool

I wonder how long it would take for those magnets to lose their charge
guess this would slow down over time

maybe Kyle can make one of these for a class

Good Morning,
Ct, 55 to start going to 62. Well a few days ago we needed rain and now we are under a flood alert.

Trip home from Vermont went well, rained for the entire trip. We went out to dinner last night with Kathleen’s brother and SIL. Nice meal, and we sat and talked in the restaurant for 2 hours and 40 minutes. But we laughed a lot.

Don’t know what I will do today but it won’t be outside.

After food list was published one friend offered to bring the Tums.

Good one David, if I was there it would probably be me

main deck all framed, needs screws.

Dennis , very nice it’s a good feeling to get to that point.

Scott, are you finished with your deck project?

GM Ted, well yes and no I finished the first deck but still have one more deck to go. Glad Dona has a positive attitude
Good to hear you on again.

Buppies, great news on Holly coming home, hoping it all goes very well.

Happy, great video, worked for me this morning on my IPhone.

Thomas good luck with new wacker with blade

Hey guys, are there any HAM operators on out GM thread ? I’m trying to get my license back after 50 years of being off the air.

Finally I want to thank Phil, who I respect greatly for the work he does in his shop. He offered me his old lathe for an unbelievable low price along with all his used tooling and chucks. As much as I would love to own all of this I don’t think I would make good use of all this equipment that he is selling. But I truly appreciate the deal he offered to me, I will probably be sorry for not taking him up on this down the road.

Hope all have a great Tuesday

Holly is home went ok was anxious about nurse work in progress gets scared easily then grumpy. Have to reassess food plans. Took her pills last night still sleeping this morning

Puppy has not come yet still in training and waiting on final installation of invisible fence. Hollys short term memory not to good so I’d say she does not remember

Prayers for all our Country

Good morning! 63˚F under a severe thunderstorm watch. Had 1.3" rain yesterday.

The field trips at the farm left an hour early because of the dark clouds. There were only a few drops while I drove around but radar showed more in the afternoon. The Sunflowere are about 2' high and not blooming yet. The Sunflower/Unicorn festival starts May 10th. The big question will the sunflowers be blooming in 4 days??????

Finally the Farm has put a vegan burger on the menu, now I just need them to work on a good bun.
Veggie burger is $13. Glad I get employee pricing.

Good morning TBN!!
45 this morning. Should make the upper 70s with sun and clouds.

Spent the day working on the bridge again. Hauling hauling and more hauling. Been hauling red clay as filler in the big hole by the drive. I can drive in a foot or so to dump clean rock and Sakrete against the tank. Been avoiding the labor intensive parts but I'm gonna have to get started on it. Need to pack and wash the gaps in. Once I get started I will be good. Getting started is the hard part
Nothing else on the agenda for now.


Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

I am a Ham Operator let me know if I can help! Licensing is much easier now with no Morse Code requirement. Is there something specific about the hobby you are interested in?
