Good morning!!!!

Mom has age related dementia, not real bad most of the time, but she’s 95. Any form or level of it is terrible though.

Did get a 杜ist yesterday for about 30 seconds.

Sounds like you got your monthly allotment....

I cut/slashed/shredded/bush hogged about 10 acres yesterday. Since the drought has the pond down about 2 feet, I was mowing a lot of the weeds around the edge. I nearly stuck the tractor when I hit a steep slope at the water's edge. The hydraulics are still acting up. Need to figure that out. I have not cleaned out the wire screen filter yet....

Too many colleges charge waaaay too much money. But if you go, go for science, math and technology related degrees....Or just plain old business/finance/accounting. My .02

Dementia is no fun for anyone. Prayers sent.

Don, did someone local buy the Ferguson? Are you coming to the Wendish Fest? My friend with your last name is building a new barndominium on some of the family land. 30 x 80 2400 ft sq.

Drama on Facebook as Bride angrily cancels wedding - best thing that could happen to him. What happened to a toaster as a gift?

"How could we have our wedding that we dreamed of without proper funding? We'd sacrificed so much and only asked each guest for around $1,500." - Bride

This Bride Cancelled Her Wedding After Guests Refused to Pay Her $1,5�� Attendance Fee | Brides

Good for him. Likely good riddance.
She’s a piece of work!!!!!

My daughter ask me, what good does a CO detector on the ceiling do? CO is heavier than air so settles down low

Carbon monoxide readily diffuses into the air in a room so you should be fine with mounting a CO detector on the ceiling in a trailer. They are though not generally recommended to be installed at the peak of a vaulted ceiling as it can slow their response. If in any doubt just look up online manufacturers installation instructions

Good morning. We've had a great extended holiday weekend, with all the family over to stay. Now the youngest grandson has started to crawl, Max is having a hard time trying to understand that he shouldn't constantly herd him back again. Any repeated unwanted behaviour gets a squirt from a small water pistol (not the child, just the dog ) . Not that Max cares too much about a soaking, we all went for a walk up to the pond and he got another drenching when he fell into the pond while trying to reach out from the bank to get a piece of bread intended for the fish. He's looking up at me now with head cocked to one side, as if he suspects I'm writing about him.

72 going to 95 and humid.

Good to hear a story about Max, Eric.

Randy, prayers for your moms.

Rick, nice job on low impact pond weed control. Glad you didn't have alien weed like Eric.

Didn't get too much done in the heat outside yesterday, but did get a good workout at the gym in the A/C. Plan to do most work today from sunrise to noon and then take it easy. We need rain.

 

[Buppies]

71 high of 92 and humid the heat is back for a day or two before rain and storms come back Thursday thru Saturday. Hard to believe it’s almost Labor Day summer winding down, the older I get the faster the days go by

Prayers for those in need Toppops mom and Ellen’s mom

Good morning all, 67 going to 90 with a 20% chance of am showers and a 30% chance of afternoon T-storms. Still working on my list for the inspection. Not sure when it is, they will let us know. Not much needed to finish, just need to do it. Spent time with the lathe, cleaning and learning a bit more.

Randy, prayers for you and Ellen as well as for your moms. It is hard when they just get their family stories mixed up.

Have a great day all, prayers sent. Ed

Poured first cup of coffee. 73° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 89° with partly cloudy skies. Yesterdays trip to east side of Detroit went better than expected. Remember how I would make that trip before east west freeway was built. 1 1/2 hour trip at 4pm. Weather is to warm and humid to do much outside today. Clean shop from projects over the last few days.

Randy, prayers for Ellen's and your mother.

Rick, pond looks great.

Eric, does Max get a bath after swimming in pond water?

Hawkeye, I would put a carbon monoxide detector at floor and ceiling. I got the duel type for living and sleeping areas.

Prayers for those in need.

Good Morning All.

72 outside this AM. Heading to mid 90s today with oppressive humidity in place.
Yesterday I started late on outside work but had not recovered from the previous efforts too much sweat and not enough liquids....
Well the wrong kind of liquids certainly don't help. Lol.

Me and the mower man just are not on the same page. Still no problems found. We shall see what today brings. Not happy that I have to bug them for status. If there is no problem then why isn't it back on my place? Very odd.

Prayers for all. Hope the day goes well for everyone. Be safe.

70F scatter clouds mid 90's for high and humid.

[toppop52]

71, headed to mid 90s for the next three days, looks like fall weather coming in about 10 days.

I have breakfast with the guys this morning, always entertaining. I will visit mom and make a bank run, then the monthly car club dinner/meeting tonight. Groundhog is MIA, but she left me a big hole to repair.

Have a good day gents! Prayers for all, specials for those in need.

 

[daugen]

Prayers for you too Randy. Worrying about family can be a real emotional load to carry.

warm and muggy this morning, going to low 90's.
On tap for today is more mowing, powerwashing some equipment and probably weeding some cucumbers.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 78˚ and rising 22˚ by this afternoon. Lots of sunshine.

The "Drop Zone" is being dropped in today. Yesterday we found a stone countertop for it. The stone still has to be cut and polished and will be finished next week.

Kyle, no plans to attend the Wendishfest. Mom keeps up with all the moves of the Cousins's kids. I have to find out the location if it's Warda or Lincoln.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 62F @ 4:45AM. Sunny. High 82F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

The ten day forecast is still showing highs in the 80s, unusually low for this time of year. But I'm not complaining!

Sounds like the new grandson will have a fun pal in Max when he gets a little older, Eric. Just hope he learns how to swim before Max herds him out to the pond!

Mechanic called yesterday saying he's set an appointment for the smog check for Wednesday, but that he's having trouble finding the special sticker that proclaims the engine alterations were done according to a pre-approved procedure that eases passage of the test somehow. Asked if I had it.:confused2: On two occasions he's offered to show me the sticker, but couldn't find it when I said "yes". :shocked:

Still waiting on a clamp for the exhaust system before drilling two mounting holes for the muffler on the old BMW, and can't paint the bracket they go in until it's drilled, so painting is on hold for now. Still plenty to do, so I made a start on the electrical system by installing an upgraded alternator. Rectifier, voltage regulator, wiring harness, head and tail lights, handlebar switches, and all the rest of it still have to be cleaned and tested as well, so it'll be a busy week.

Just came in from digging a hole.

Felt a spongy area in the turf above the underground path that the pipe travels from the well to the house.

Water seeping into bottom of hole slowly...have not found the pipe yet, but did find the phone number to the plumber .

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Thomas, congrats on finding the camera.
