Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Pretty spring morning, 55-60 today, depending on whom you believe. I'm waiting for the last freeze to pass so I can start the flowers.
Drew, if you water those willows a lot, they will be 7'-8' by fall.
UNC is my team, and they scared me, bracket aside, that was busted last week.

Nearly 60 yesterday, 23 this morning.

Grand daughter wanted to get the fisher price power wheels jeep out yesterday (nice sunshine day). It was given to us a couple years ago, started cleaning it up, put the battery on the charger... grand daughter loved it, she is not yet 3 but too big for it. She has trouble lifting her foot off go pedal, she is really jammed in. We went last night looking for something that would handle her size better. I wanted to get her the dune racer (others on TBN have made positive comments) but my daughter was wanting a pink carriage that cost twice as much... we might end up with the gator xuv550.. good fun shopping. The pink carriage was 24v and big. There are two versions of the dune racer, one is called extreme and has wide tires that are better for hard surfaces, the other has tires better for soft surfaces...

Good morning all,

56 this morning and looks to be a nice day.

I have finished all my pasture seeding and now am very anxious for some rain.

My sledding days are growing short; I got spoiled this year with lots of powder days. While there is still plenty of snow up high I just can't bring myself to ride on hard/slushy snow.:laughing:

Busy weekend. Got my tractor fixed to the point where I can lift the FEL and mowed the yard. Only got half of it done.
My friends and their families came in for a visit. We caught 10 flounders Saturday morning. I stuffed them with crab meat and we had them for lunch. Their hungry boys just inhaled those flounders.

Just telling my wife yesterday how much I would like a stuffed flounder. Looks mouth watering.

46°F and partly cloudy skies this morning, going up to 82° today. Big one-day temperature jump even for us this time of year.

Got some Ratchet Rake time Saturday leveling the ground behind the well house in preparation for a new fence. Handy tool, that thing. Nice to run the tractor a bit, too.

There is a lull in the remodeling action right now as we wait for a few final pieces to arrive; new shower to replace the fudged custom jobby, and two more kitchen cabinets to fill a measurement foible there. The granite countertop is scheduled for delivery next Monday, which will complete the major kitchen work. Still need to install the hood over the stove, and the dishwasher. We started moving stuff upstairs, too. When I got home from work Friday night, the Wife didn't even want to wait until we'd eaten dinner before she was asking to move the bed into the new master bedroom. So, we've been sleeping up there all weekend. Me and the boy moved the kitchen table and china cabinet up into the dining area of the kitchen Sunday morning. Wifey was pleased with that sight. Got a broken weld repaired on one of the sunroom chairs yesterday, too, as I finally got use of the garage again.

That stuffed flounder looks delicious, CajunRider.

66°F and no rain since midnight a bit overcast will have to wait and see.

Have to go to PO this morning, heard our new tax assessment is there. Town this afternoon.

Be safe
Have a great day

43F and cloudy @ 12:15 ... high predicted to hit 50F this afternoon with a good chance of rain starting around 20:00.

Wife and I worked in the basement yesterday, cleaning and starting to sort through 4 households worth of junk to see what can be gotten rid of.

I also removed the rest of the built-in book shelves over the cabinets in the family room in the basement. These are on an outside wall which is paneled. I suspect that there is no insulation underneath the paneling, which is probably why the room always seems chilly in the winter.

The plan is to remove the cabinets which are about 12' long and pull the paneling, and if no insulation to insulate and then refinish the wall with drywall that can be painted. The paneling (which is on three walls) is dark ... which makes the room itself seem dark, since the only source of outside light is a sliding glass door (no windows)

Thinking about using the cabinets, which appear to be made out of high grade plywood and are around 12' long, as a stand for the 100G Long tank. The feasibility of that is still questionable, in terms of moving and actually getting it into the fish room ... which promises to be a real treat.

Bup,

Hope it goes well and everything turns out ok.

35 high of 67 today like spring time outside and today is the first day of spring

Thanks leaving about 8:30 for two hour drive to skin surgery office

Best of luck.

60 degrees, lovely day, planted all 25 willow trees after digging eight more holes with the tractor and phd, and then planted six rose bushes. Put the outdoor potted plants back outdoors after they had been hiding in the garden shed for the last four days, seemed quite happy in there too, a little light and it stays nice and warm in there on sunny days. If I ever get the time to grow things from seeds, maybe next year...the garden shed has propane heat, light and running water in a sink. Clearly this was done to keep the prior owner's wife happy. I put a new roof on the shed and painted it, that's all I've had time for. If I could just get some energy instead of sitting around all day...

does anyone have a good recommendation for a fitbit type device without the fancy name?
After blowing off the entire lane with my blower and then walking the weedeater around the house, it reminded me I really ought to track my activity.
Might be able to justify an extra piece of pie...

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Today I done it. Hit 333,333 miles on my honda.

Got a free fit bit from work a couple years ago, never took it out of the package.

If you have an iPhone, it's built in. It's the Health app, which I think was added to iOS 10. Maybe someone with an Android phone will chime in about those...

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

And I never set up or use the iPhone's Health app!:laughing:

How 'bout sharing a recipe, CR? Never tried flounder, much less a stuffed one, but that sure does look good!:licking:

RNG, pics of the van please, you are holding us in suspense

You're in suspense? Jimmeny Crickets, Drew, I wish I knew what was goin' on with the darn thing! It hadn't been touched last week except what I did on the poptop and headlights, and likely I won't see anything tomorrow when I head down there, either. :muttering::hissyfit:

But you'll be the first to know if a miracle happens! :laughing:

 

[txdon]

RNG, I did not know about the Health app on my Iphone. I just found it and it said while clearing trails today I walked 9,944 steps or 3.6 miles. Cool, thanks.

 

[toppop52]

I only walked 6577 steps today, gotta get moving!

That right there my friends, is one of the best things you can ever taste in life. Hands down. (if I had known Cajun, I would've been over to help eat and work on your truck)

Today I done it. Hit 333,333 miles on my honda.

You are just a few thousand ahead of me. I should hit 330,000 next week on my '03 Impala.


Eric, I would bet my bottom shilling that Don will need to rest his asymptotes when he's done. I do like the firetruck pressure wash solution. Don, you might want to wear your fancy diving mask if you do it.

There is slight movement on the new metal roof front. the sub came and actually measured the house to order the tin. Might start Wednesday? I'm getting tired of the blue plastic tarp patch.

Good evening all. 62F this morning, clear, calm winds. The temp and wind both rose like homesick angels, 89F for temp and gust to 32 for wind. skies remained mostly clear. Choir practice and bike ride this morning, nap and energy bar and Saturn trannie warranty research this afternoon.

 

[mostly_gas]

Drew pedometers are cheap, I have one from a company called sportsline, use it during walking competition at company I consult for. Otherwise I just track heart rate and miles biking.
