The low this morning was 37*, yesterday high was 70*. Today is going to be about the same. The forecast is for wetter weather in the middle of the week.

The plans for today is doing little things around here getting ready for the cold season. I bought a heater for the side by side will look at it and see how that goes in. One of the neighbors said he would help me on that.

Hope everyone has a nice day.

Warm, humid and misting/showers, I guess it's a band from Jose looking at the map, northeast wind picking up, flag is popping pretty good. Getting tires on the wife's Edge on Wednesday, got about 80,000 miles on the originals, not bad! 245/50/20 is not the most common size, limits your choices a bit.

63°F and partly cloudy this morning, Going up to 88° today (17.2°/31.1°C for Eric's conversion ... and neither are my age ). Looks like that three days of promised rain has been reneged. We really could have used more that the mere light sprinkling we got yesterday evening.

Sad day at the Smith house yesterday, as I had to put down our 11-year-old outside cat. The Wife had rescued her and a male sibling from near her ex-husband's farm when they were kittens. She named them Yin and Yang. Yin died from some rare cat disease at around 1 year old. 10 years later, Yang is buried next to him under a tree in the back yard. Never an easy thing.

On a lighter note, our electrician was at the house all day Friday until almost 7pm, and came back for four hours Saturday morning, and now he's pretty much done. Once the carpenter comes back and finished closing the walls and spraying texture, we can paint, and the electrician will come back and finish the outlets and coverplates. It's incredible to see the amount of work he's done, and we came in a bit under the expected budget. :thumbsup: Progress.

Got an old wood chair repaired Saturday for The Wife, one she used at her desk in her sewing room. It's a good, solid chair she found in an antique store, but the seat was never connected to the frame. With the aid of a few L-brackets, it's now connected. When she removed it again to recover the seat, I'll replace the brackets with some proper oak cleats.

Happy (belated) Birthday, Ed.

Good morning all. 69 F now (20.55c) going to 79F (26.11C) Man Eric that is confusing. My bathroom scale is metric, had it sense I was a teen. got used to it now. Been to the grocery this morning, have a meeting this afternoon and have to get the grass mowed soon. Also wife is pushing to get the pantry in service soon. I would rather take a nap but i guess I better get at it.

Got to run, have a great day. Ed

My niece will be on tv tonight.
To Tell The Truth- 9:00 central abc.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 67/F @ 9:15AM. Mostly sunny. High 77F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph.

Didn't even know To Tell The Truth was back on TV, Don. I'll try to remember to set a timer for it. Just for grins, see if they'll run a load test on the old battery for you when you buy the new one, Don. I guess I'm just not very trustful of the new generation of chargers/testers.

Hope those ailing feel better soon!

Nice long weekend camping at the Qunicy, CA fairgrounds with a couple hundred other BMW riders. Only an hour's trip either way, but jam packed full of curves and smiles. Nice 300 mile loop on Friday up past Eagle Lake, then around Lake Almanor and down through Lassen Volcanic National Park. The leaves are starting to change in the high country, and yesterday's 36F temperature in the morning made crawling out of the tent a brisk business. Appreciated the decaf coffee and breakfast burrito in a nearby restaurant even more.

Met up with a fairly recent acquaintance and helped him celebrate his 72nd birthday on Saturday with a short ride, then talked with one of my Airhead mentors after he gave a short talk recapping his motorcycling adventures over his eighty something years. Apparently I still have a few good years left if I mind my Ps and Qs.

Hope everybody's week gets off to a great start!

69°F and .28 inches rain. Finally broke through 70 inches for the year, but we should have closer to 100.

Be safe
Have a great day

It got down to 71 degrees early this morning, going for a high of 91 (84 at this time). We went to visit the new Aldi Food Store in Denton today. It seems that they are building new stores everywhere. We've had one in Corinth for a good while, and we've bought a few things there, but it 's a small store; doesn't have as much as we like a store to have. When they first opened, they did not take credit cards, but that soon changed. They now take credit cards and will also give you cash on the card if you wish. The new store that opened in Denton about 3 days ago is much bigger and has a larger selection of products; many of which are certainly cheaper than Walmart and just as good.

For the battery on the Subaru their tester said the same thing my tester said - it failed the CCA Test.

I'll take the tractor battery in in a few days and see what their tester says.

feed corn being harvested by a fairly new JD combine next door, for awhile they had a giant cart pulled by an 8 series JD tractor running alongside filling with corn as they both went
along together. Pretty dusty as usual.
Locally tobacco is being picked now.
One local farmer has five old school busses with the roofs cut off, and no glass in the windows, and not much in the back, which he uses to haul tobacco after it has been cut. A very strange
vehicle going by.

Thanks Don. This indicates that the tester is good for cars and motorcycles which makes sense. A 12 volt lead acid battery is a 12 volt lead acid battery. What varies is capacities, CCA, etc.

Good evening all. 72F and overcast this morning, light wind. Overcast clear about 11AM moderate wind and high temp was 94F. Weird day, had to help gather and mail tax info today, started mowing but had to stop. Did get choir practice in. Tomorrow bike ride and mow, and need to get back on boat seat.

Finished mowing yesterday...quiet day today.

The sky has gone missing this morning and most of the fields too, all hidden by a blanket of fog that lets in only the occassional distant sound of vehicles as proof that the world really is still out there somewhere.

Bird, Aldi has become a major player in this country, breaking the dominance of the other big food stores by their simple strategy of offering limited choice in return for very keen prices. Whereas shoppers at other stores complain if something runs out, those going to Aldi soon come to terms that it will be pot luck as to what, other than a few essentials, are on the shelves as the rest of their stock comes and goes at random. Is that how they operate where you live ?
In one sense I admire them, it's almost as we were only a few decades ago, when the types of food on offer were more seasonal than they are now. On the other hand the relentless driving down of farm gate food prices to almost derisory amounts, as Drew commented on the other day and the way that makes many take food for granted is not so good.
