Good morning!!!!

[txdon]

27 going to 53....got down about 5 degrees lower than the forecast.

Drew, that doesn't look like any peanut hay I've ever seen...always dark brown after the peanuts are picked and the vines lay in the sun to dry. Maybe there's another type.

I missed Drew's pic of peanut hay and had to go back several pages to find it. I agree 100% that is not peanut hay. It is as you describe, I know I've handled many bales. Dark brown almost a gray color, with thick vines and roots. https://www.backyardherds.com/attachments/hay-12-jpg.595/ You will always see the roots in the peanut hay like the ones in the pic hanging on the fence. That hay pic looks like Bermuda hay.

Good morning. It's very foggy and 50˚ heading to 77˚. Goal today is to finish trimming the front fence line, got about 1/4 more to go.

Next week we have about 4 days in the 30's and my WBS remote electrical fresh air intake is not working. Oh no. When the house was built I put in a small door to service it but then the foam people sprayed the electrical control vent into the wall. I have a lot of work to do to remove the electrical vent from the duct work and the foamed wall and replace it with this: ADC4 4 inch 24V Normally Closed Shut-off Damper with Motor

28° and frost, sun will take that away soon.
Slept half the night in recliner, then couch. Just ate and took am meds.
Recliner foot rest getting stuck half way up. 30 yo Lazy boy chair.
No big plans today. Will miss the neighbors tree cutting party they have every yr. Bunch of their relatives come, they go out together and cut a christmas tree, then come back for a potluck meal. They always invite us. We use fake tree now. My wife will go over, maybe she will bring me some food.
Will watch some .

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Hope Drew and Randy have a good lunch together.

Deer hunters are active, lots of noise.

My wife is allergic to peanuts, can have tree nuts.

I'm surprised it's growing here, mostly in Florida and Georgia. Maybe in this sandy coastal soil they can get a crop in.
thanks all, not the "peanut refuse" hay but stuff called peanut hay

Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 5:30AM. Considerable cloudiness. Occasional rain showers this afternoon. High around 55F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

I hope your doctors run out of operations before they run out of you, Buppies. And most of all that you'll be healed and pain free very soon!

Good to see you takin' it easy, Buckeye. Hope you're back on your feet before Xmas.

Never saw a peanut plant before, Don. Thanks for posting the pics.

A few days ago I tossed the broken pin wrench I made for the shocks into the campfire embers in hopes it would anneal, but apparently it wasn't hot enough. Fished it out with a magnet yesterday, and used a carbide cutter in the mill to cut new pins, leaving more material to support them. Heated the shock body up with a torch, but the lock ring still wouldn't break free. The wrench tore out on side of the slot it mates to in the shock, so I gave up and ordered new shocks. I was told they're made in Sweden for BMW Classic, the on again off again arm of BMW that's responsible for keeping the old machines on the road. Fortunately they don't cost anywhere near what a modern shock costs, and the set of four will come in at a little less than the last rear shock I purchased.

Noticed yesterday that the iPad isn't charging when plugged in, and apparently it hasn't been since it was "upgraded" to the latest version of iOS a few days ago. Lots of people are apparently having the same problem, and one work around (not from Apple) is to put it into Airport mode. Now you'd think they'd do enough testing before releasing new software to detect this kind of thing, but then I guess that's not the way business is done anymore. Yet another sign of the approaching apocalypse.:confused2:

Had half a Costco rotisserie chicken leftover from last week, so threw it into the Instant Pot for half an hour steam bath day before yesterday to stew. It was cool yesterday morning, so I boned it and made chicken noodle soup with the broth. Boiled the noodles in the instant pot, too. Very tasty, and very easy, but it's also easy to miss a bone or two when taking the chicken apart.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

The low was 25* this morning with clear skies. It got up 49* yesterday. Today's going to be about the same. Looks like we will have a cold front come though Sunday with a 80% chance of snow.

Going up to help a neighbor do some stuff later today. Not sure what he needs done.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

Buckeye and Buppies, get better dudes!
No particular plans today except I’m keeping my nearly 6 year old grandson tonight so daughter and son in law can go to a Christmas party. Wife and I had promised to do it. Weather is still decent, 26 early mid 50’s today and some clouds are moving in.

Never seen peanuts, but we noticed cotton in northern Florida and into Alabama earlier this year. I was surprised at the dairy industry in Florida, some big operations there. I guess they have to be big nowadays. One of my grandfathers milked 40 head, that was considered a respectable size, back in the day. He had guernseys

 

[sodamo]

67°F and 4.08 inches rain yesterday and another .44 since midnight. We did have a few hours of sun though during the day. Hopefully this is last day of this storm.

Be safe
Have a great day

Fun parade downtown, weather held up, sunshine felt good. Lots of floats and local businesses, marching band, and of course tractors...

David, did you hear the siren?

Haven't we paid about 8 gazillion dollars for a missile defense system to shoot this stuff down?

I can just see the military coming back saying this justifies militarizing space, which apparently the whole world
agreed to not doing. Killer satellites. Kill the missile before it kills you. Fair amount of logic there.
At least David is not on the main island. Of course, one never knows how their aim is.

I thought the mayor's comment on our President was a jaw dropper. Unfortunately a lot of folks share that opinion.
Not good for morale.

What is good for morale is getting on my tractor and that isn't going to happen because a big rain cloud came over,
proverbially raining not on my parade, which finished nicely but on my leaf blowing which just might not get done now.
I doubt we'll get much rain.
One present to wrap, need to find the keys to Toppop's new ZR1, wrap those up (we'll see if he's paying attention...)
and the wine bottles came nicely packaged in their own little festive totes with sturdy handles.
On to my lists...

Today's parade was fun, glad I went. Years ago it was me driving one of those firetrucks in my small home town in PA. Try to keep your spacing, watch out for little kids and dogs
leaping off curbs, your eyes are going six ways at once while still waving and smiling away. Those little kids used to make me a nervous nellie driving the big tanker down our Main Street when the town was packed like today. What was different and I've never seen this was that candy was being thrown out constantly, amazing amount of candy today, looked like New Orleans at Mardi Gras, no kidding. Everyone had bags and bags of the stuff. Bags of candy in the floats. Bags in the pickup trucks, bags on the fire trucks. After awhile the kids couldn't pick it up fast enough and darted back a second time. Finally the parents dragged them back to safety. Someone donated what must have been a semi trailer of candy. And i doubt it was sugar free.
Is that a Christmas tradition anywhere else where everyone throws candy into the crowds? A true dental disaster.

Come to Milford, MI. for parades. Lots of candy thrown out to the kids. Not only Christmas parade. Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day parades.

Ayup!! Same up here in New Hampshire! :licking:

 

[daugen]

Well I guess I just have to go to more parades. :thumbsup:

Don’t forget Easter parade.

 

[txdon]

Same here at Texas parades. It started with MardiGras throwing trinkets and now every parade has to throw. It is very dangerous because the kids dart out into the street.



"While parade accidents are generally rare, the three fatal incidents underscore the potential dangers accompanying such events.

. . .As communities across the country hold holiday parades this time of year, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is calling for localities to adopt more stringent safety measures.
“We want to really get organizations and communities that want to do parades to think about the risks ahead of time so that they can be managed,” said Robert Molloy, deputy director of the NTSB’s Office of Highway Safety.

Some of the more common parade hazards include participants falling off floats or performers being run over. Children running out into streets to retrieve candy also pose safety risks, Molloy said."

 

[toppop52]

They stopped doing throw outs here in Salisbury, but surrounding towns vary.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Candy throw out is a big people draw. If they ban it, parades will dwindle.

Buckeye, how are you feeling?

That welding work of RS's is artwork. Very nice. So out of my league.

back to doing wash.
