Yup. An interesting balance of social priorities. Offer somewhat addictive sugar to the masses but at least you get better
retail sales. Hmmmmm.

Still sore, just sitting watching football. Enjoyed the parade pics, esp the tractors.
One of these days i will try to weld. I was a welder helper a few times when i was in college. Our old farm truck was bought from him and we named it after him. After he passed, i bought my dad a lincoln tombstone welder, but i never tried to use it.

Mostly cloudy today high 51 warmer tomorrow
Looked at kubota tractors this afternoon nice size dealer in Lynchburg well laid out clean nice selection
Also looked at Polaris dealer bout service work and a few adds to make ours more creature comfortable
This one was on my jaw bone inside and out stitches sore but that's about it. So far all basil cell and seem to get all of the cancer. So far it has never returned in the same place which is a good thing. Riptides always try to remain positive thank you for reminding me
Buckeye hope you are feeling some better

Yes, Drew, heard the siren. Same system as our tsunami warning and I happened to be outside at the time. Not sure I would have heard if inside and doors closed.
Yea, I was telling someone I didn’t think Hawaii was so much a target. I mean, look how that worked out last time. Now if the Rocketman was to target San Francisco, thank might even get him a Thank you.
Sad how we are having a race to the bottom on who can say the worst the fastest with Trump. Never would have been tolerated before let alone encouraged. And now our news seems to be dominated by folks without integrity or have a platform to be repeated regardless of content.
Seems there is a parade or two every week somewhere in Hawaii celebrating something. Don’t know about the candy though.

Good evening, Got nothing done today, was not in the mood.
Drew, was that you in the parade on your super A?
I was over at a friends bed store today catching up and he took me in the back and showed me his parade Bed. Has an electric riding mower under it and he drives it with an electric joystick. I doubt it helps him sell beds but he has fun.
Have a good night Ed

Didn't get much done today either. But didn't go backwards!!!!
Did have a downer moment. A very long time friend of mine stopped by to ask about a rental that I have been working on. He wants it for his daughter. She can afford it, and I think she is great. Problem is she has a brother who is a complete stoner, user, jailbird, I would use the word bum, but they have standards!!! I fear that as it is a 2 bedroom unit, her brother will want to move in, and she wont say no. This guy is destructive, and imho dangerous. The family is very protective of this goof. I feel I am in a no win situation, his dad is one of my oldest friends, but his son is felon, and a scary one at that. Any criticism of the son sets the whole family off..... I told him I have other folks interested.

40 currently. Mid 60’s for hog today and next few days.
Wow, you guys surprised me. Never having welded. Taught myself to weld at about 14. Guess I always took it fore granted that everyone around equipment welded. I never made the welding team. Bead wasn’t pretty enough. By my senior year in high school I was the one the AG teachers would come to when they had something they needed repaired. About half the time after a welding team member failed to get it to hold. I was also the painter. Painted 3 tractors my junior and senior year.
Drew. Nice parade pictures. That def tank on that M7 was almost the size of a fuel tank. That’s not good.
Buckeye and buppies get well.
Finished my final mowing of the year. We are getting dry. Starting to see some weather patterns that look similar to 2011-2012 winter. We dozed all winter and some guys worked ground all winter. Then in 2012 we got to set some records for heat and drought. My 12’ deep 1 acre lake was about 4’ deep and only about a quarter of an acre in size by the end of the summer. We were feeding hay by August. Hopefully not. Maybe some of our local weathermen can help out there.
Worked in chicken coops for several hours today. Had forgotten how much my back has been saved by having younger help around. Did close to 200 toe touches today. (Picking up feed trays.) Get to repeat with different amounts for next 5 days. Bet I start loosing some of this weight faster. I’m down about 10 pounds from my heaviest.

I the feeders would be hanging from the rafters? I have my feeders that way? Or is this for the baby chicks?
I used to do some welding, but it's been over 30 years. I would like to get some equipment, but I really don't need it. I did mig, heli arc, and silver soldering in a die shop. Loooong ago!

Good evening all. 55F this morning, partly cloudy, calm wind. Wind start to increase about 9, sky cleared off about 10, high temp about 76F. bike ride today, finished 12:30. After lunch and nap just had some wife time.

Good morning all. Temperature has climbed to 9C/48F already and it's still dark. Once it's daylight I will look over the sheep and then dig up this year's Christmas tree. Most of them have put on a fair bit of growth this year, no doubt in response to the cool damp summer.
I'm tempted to select a really ugly one first, with stunted uneven branches and bare patches, then leave it outside the window set in a tub at an angle to rival the leaning tower of Pisa. A second replacement tree a few hours later should then look great in comparison and may just win me a gold star from teacher

Eric, we call those poor unwanted ugly trees Charley Brown trees here, from the comic strip.
up early, plan is to be off by 7. Should be an easy Sunday morning drive with very little traffic. Yeah.
Toppop and I are going to solve the problems of the world over lunch. Then off to friends in Milton DE, and then
Princeton NJ.
Still debating whether I'll put up a tree when I get back. Will see how the mood strikes me. Cut tree displays are up all over, xmas trees outside Lowes and TSC.
Weather forecast for next week now interesting. Seems like I'm coming back to a lot of rain, which we sorely need, maybe two or three days of it later in the week. I'm done watering the grass seed, Mother Nature, it's all yours.

35 and the full moon is playing peekaboo behind some clouds. Should rise to 59 and sunny.
riptides, good to hear from you.
Don, finally got my string trimming done...finished up in the dark last night. I've really been impressed with this 58V rechargeable Echo trimmer. Cuts good, battery last a long time and recharges quickly, string is easy to reload...had to reload for the first time yesterday...string seems to last longer than my gas engine trimmer. Loaded some twisted .95 - I think it was called Black Diamond...very nice. My first Echo tool. Only complaint is it doesn't have a shoulder strap...so I rigged up a clamp with an eyelet to put on it and used my Stihl strap.
Dig a little bit of bush hogn yesterday to cut a strip my wife asked me to do. Then put the grapple on and my tiller as counterweight...got some brush and log work to do. Heard some dogs running deer and a couple shots down at the river bottom, so grabbed my shotgun and went into the woods, but nothing came my way.
Get well BEF and Buppies!

Smarter approach than mine...I took my wife for a walk about on our property "shopping" for a tree and none were perfect...but she is a good sport and will settle for an almost Charlie Brown.

Good morning.
Temp 34 going to a high of 37 Wind SE7 mph. 30% chance of showers.
I have about 1/2" of ice on the driveway with an inch of snow on top of it. All this warm weather will make the driveway soupy with slush so I want to keep the tractor off it until we get a good snowfall. The ice will make a good base and my chains will rough it up just enough for traction.
On this date in 1995 we had 18.9" of snow on the ground. There is your history lesson for today.
Have a good day, all.

Good morning all, 39 this morning going to 59 with a chance of sprinkles. Just planning to lay low today, just do the normal things that need done everyday. Might work really hard on a nap, but we will see.
Buckeye & Buppies, Prayers being sent for speedy recoveries.
Randay, Had to wait a few min for wife's pizza so I went next door and looked at a 2013 Camaro, pretty car, black with a black interior. $18,000. Makes me remember a few cars I had over the years. Hope you find what you are looking for.
Eric, My dad did that trick every year, it always worked.
Drew, Tractor club sounds like fun, glad you can be a part of it.
Have a great day. Ed

Coffee is done brewing. 22° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 51° with sun all day. Another great fall day yesterday. Moon was very bright in the evening. No plans for today. But something will show up. My welding comes no where close to RS's. But it does hold up, Lots of grinding and a heavy coat of paint it is presentable.
Last year this time we were at Don's doing this project.
View attachment 530460
Buckeye and Buppies best wishes for continued recovery.
Drew, safe travels.
Farmer, loosing 10 lbs is a great accomplishment.
David S, the media makes the sirens going off as if it has not been done since WWII. WE have a warning siren little over 1/2 mile from our place. But never hear it go off at 1pm every Saturday unless we are outside. But the manufactured home park can. They set under it.
Good Morning All.
Riptides, good to see your post.
