Good morning!!!!

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!!
62 this morning and may add another 5 or so for the day. Rain expected on and off for the next couple of days.

Took the day off yesterday. Nothing but a little walking with the dog.
Much needed as the last week or so caught up to me. Couple of friends coming out this morning to give me some advice. Needed or not LOL. Will look at what is done and the next best steps to take.

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

Thank you veterans and families for what you have done and continue to do to protect this great nation!!!

Was a chilly 41F @ 05:45, generally clear but with some haze. Calling for a high temp of 69F which is still about 4 degrees below normal. But welcome.

Coffee tasting very good.

And a toasty little puddy tat warming my legs and wanting petted.

Filled up feeders first thing yesterday: hopper, both tube and both suet feeders. Also scattered some seeds for the ground feeders. Need to get the feeder for the hummers put up.

Apparently startled groundhog while I was doing that and it let out a loud, piercing shriek. Got my attention.

Worked on completing coating first two round poles with tar and got that done.

Then went over to the barn with the Kubota and got the other two round poles and brought them over to the house.

Got those about half done, and The Woman helped. She was feeling a bit under the weather Friday/Saturday, thinks it might be allergies.

Decided I like thinning the roof coating down a little with some mineral spirits. It flows and fills the cracks better, brushing out a lot easier. Also dries a lot faster.

Worked some on mowing the front yard. Got it maybe 65% done. Big spot at the bottom still has standing water. That might go away by sometime tomorrow … just before the next round of rain is due in.

Remembered to check the seeds I planted in pots out back, looks like maybe 50% have sprouted and have come up.

Final item for the day was getting the last 10 cauliflower plants in the ground and covered with insect netting.

By the time I finished up it was feeling pretty chilly out there with the breeze.

Still have the 3 kohlrabi left to do but no holes left under the insect netting.

On agenda for today:

Repot a couple more tomato seedlings.

Since no rain in the immediate forecast and winds should be light, probably do some more Glyphosate spraying.

Set up new saw horses and get some of the 4 x 4 x 12’s laid out and start getting those coated. Hopefully Woman can assist with that.

Hook up core aerator to the Cub and punch some more holes in the front lawn.

Cub is just under 2 hours from needing the oil changed and the air filter cleaned so may do that as well … along with cleaning the underside of the deck. 748 and change on the hour meter.

Blades still cutting fine but need to think about getting the second set sharpened in the coming days.

Kubota just rolled 2600 hours and the van finally hit 460,000 miles.

Hope everyone has a decent Memorial Day …

Good morning! Thankful to all who served.. Presentation and 700 chairs are set up in the memorial plaza in the neighborhood, hope there will be a band and a fly over. 35% chance of rain this morning but it looks like it is staYing North of us.

79˚F cloudy skies upper 80s today.

Yesterday was a day in the neighborhood taking advantage of the amenities here. Started off with a trail hike, then the model rail roads, then water volleyball, then ping pong, then billiards and a back yard swim.

Good Morning,
Ct, 48 to start going to 68. Bright blue skies for a change and hopefully we are out of the rain shower pattern.

Hope to get the pump and filter running today, got the cover off yesterday.

Ron nice shot of Sassy, must be a fan favorite in the parade

Paul, beautiful rainbow shot

Nice see if he wants to come to idaho! I use my drone to put wire antennas up. I have a 380ft Delta Loop for Transmit and a 780ft Beverage antenna for Receive.

Steve, that Dodge sucks fuel like no tomorrow That would be quite the bill there Enjoyed a few minutes of listening to cw transmissions yesterday but too much work to spend any real time with it. Today will be about the same

Gratitude to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and their families. Thank you for our freedom.

Billy, so very true

Hope all have a blessed and safe day

Good morning, the low is 52 and going up to 72°F. Wind NNE 7 mph. Sunny!

I'll go out about noon and cut all the grass. I want to wait until the guy across the road is 'up' (he works nights) before I cut the sides of the driveway.

Drew, your "all black bird with pretty thin orange stripes on shoulders" sounds like a Red Winged Black Bird. They are REALLY territorial. They don't have any problem dive bombing people if you get too close to their nest.

Happy Memorial Day all. It is sad that so many had to give their lives so that we can live free.

Have a safe day all

Don, I like those model train setups. When we stayed in Mesa, AZ. We did a tour of them. One caught my eye. Asked the owner if his was union station in Ogden, UT. It sure was. Asked how I knew that. My brother lives there.
