Lol, i can see the pestering wildlife. The other is best left unseen.

Speaking of wildlife. The cattle egrets have become near constant companions to my mowing/brushhoging. Nearly fearless as to the equipment, sometimes only a couple inches away. Usually I watch as the feast on grasshopper etc that I stir up, but today was different. Not 2 feet away the far one in the pic scored a field mouse. May have to zoom in to see. You can see the body and tail. Had moved a bit as the tractor moved and I got out my phone. Didn’t realize this was part of the diet.

BEF watch for slivers on your feet nice job on the ramp good to see you are getting yourself around
After spending the day looking at Chevy, Ford, Dodge GMC and even the new Jeep Pick Up I have no clue. Don't want cloth seats dog hair will be a night mare and cost for anything with leather so dogs have a nice ride I can't justify. I told my wife I was going to put the money into the Avalanche she responded "Keep Looking" lol.

Thank you all so much for all the well wishes.

Good morning 60 and heading to mid 70's again today.
Not sure what today will bring but thinking of maybe some "window shopping" for a new truck. My avalanche has reached the point of a new aggravation every other day newest is backup camera not working. Really liked the vehicle and hate to spend money on new because it will be full of dog hair on the first day. Any suggestions

Vinyl seats or seat covers? Hope you find something you like.

My neighbor "stole" a 6' x 10' welding / fab table with a 1/2" top, for $250 yesterday. I'll put the pallet forks and 72" fork extensions on the 55 hp tractor and go over and unload it from his trailer later. It probably weighs 1000#.

Calculations put the top at just over #1000lbs. What a bargain.

RNG, were you side milling or facing with the bottom of the endmill? I can't believe that 3/4" diameter endmill is only $84. In our business, that's cheaper than dirt. Many cost closer to $250-400 that diameter, depending on length. Consider buying an endmill with corner radii on the bottom corners. Use it when ever you can. Save your sharp corners for final finish passes to preserve the corners.

PJ, hope things calm down with the drama. Take it easy. Same for you guys healing.....Take it easy. After all, that's what the song says to do...

Prayers for all, especially Betty.

Thanks. I keep the feet rests off of the chair in the house, they take too much room. I keep them at top of ramp, to put on if im in garage. I go down ramp holding wheels. I use side railings to pull myself up ramp. Guy is coming back to sand railings. I bought material, he built free, but i gave him gas money.

Good luck on truck search. Glad my 08 is low mileage. I dont know what i would buy these days.

Take it easy.. I'll lay in my corner, standing is too much work, lol.

Entered 3 months of charge receipts in quicken, got all bills paid to date. Tomorrow reconcile cc statements. Filed paid bills, exercised. Who has time to go to work?

PT called, not coming tomorrow. Said a PT lady would call about coming thursday. He's got me working more on walking muscle movement. Weight shift while standing. Right leg still wobbly.

I need to replace my 08 truck also sometime soon or next year. Since I don't need to pull a tractor I can go midsize and the midsize I'm leaning to is the new Ford Ranger so far. It can still tow 7000 pounds.

I just took off the Country seat covers off my '08 "Country" Truck and the seats looks like new so another +1 on seat covers. The seat covers I had looked and felt like an ironing board cover and were kind of water resistant like Sunbrella fabric. With the custom made seat covers that are made now with velcro ties you can really get a good looking tight fit. I had taken them off once before and thew them in the washing machine and they clean up nicely.


Well my luck ran out. Lost 4 of 5 card games and slipped to at least 20th place.

For all those in Texas that re-new your drivers license something NEW has started. You have to have on record a scanned passport or birth certificate before they will renew your license. My mom and about half of the people at the county DMV were sent away to obtain documents before any renewal is considered. The renewal letter they send out is very vague just saying that proof of citizenship is needed. (Note: my mom did have the gold star DL so I just assumed they already had her citizenship checked)

68 currently. 82 today. A couple of showers but nothing like yesterday. Rain most of the day. Haven’t checked gauge yet.

Finished stumping and topping today. Now just need to get everything hauled to landing and sawed to log length. Plans were to pack it, but there’s too much for that. So I’ll drag in tree length and then chop up.

Picked up new culvert today. Old one started falling through a year ago. Excavator had to walk over it so I had him swing around and dig it out the last time over.

My new truck last year had cloth seats. I said deal breaker. Salesman says for $1300 I can have leather heated seats installed. (Crew Cab double bench) Still have carpet floors so I have weather tech floor mats. Might consider getting some seat covers anyways. Car seats and me are hard on any seat I’ve found.

Good evening all. 70F for the start, thunderstorms, occasional wind gust. Rain continued from 5 till 1PM, radar estimates 1.5 in rain, sky cleared to partly cloudy, light wind and high temp of 83F. No bike ride, did not get much else done either. Nap in the afternoon.
RNG could not find info on the binding agent but endmill tend to be softer therefore less cracking and less wear resistance.
Drew, you realize you might not have a tractor at your next place
Rick nice welding table
Jay nice pic of kayaking.
Don, sorry to hear of your bad run at cards, my F150 will only tow 5K engine limitation. Watch for limitations when you buy.
prayers for all.

upper 50's right now...upper 70's for the high today...

 

[daugen]

72 going to mid 80's today, possible showers.
spending morning at County Ag building, presentation from Univ. NC on science and testing that went into/still happening with Roundup.
Should be interesting. Allegedly a balanced presentation, not Monsanto dog and pony show.
Have a good day all.

 

[Thomas]

60F cloudy upper 70's for high rain could be heavy over night at times.

Its that time once again first day of school for some tomorrow all schools doors open.
After work if not raining trim steep bank and nasty ditch line.
E muffin feed little critters slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[Buppies]

61 high of 84 today maybe a shower

Prayers for Betty and Ron BEF and Toppop and all others I missed

 

[wngsprd]

69 going to 85, maybe rain.

Converting one of my son's former bedroom into a craft room and holiday decorations easy-to-get-to storage area for my wife. Won't she be surprised when she comes home in a few days? Moved everything out, cleaned thoroughly and painted most of the ceiling (ran out of paint). Assembled some shelves...more to do today.

Need to mow if the grass will ever dry out.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 54° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 76° with mostly sunny skies. Got my projects done. Not sure what I will get into today.
Prayers for all.
Good Morning All.

 

[farmeratheart]

Good morning All. 66 this morning and headed to upper 70’s. Humidity trying to make a comeback today. Have enjoyed reading of toppop and bef successes as they heal. Prayers to them to continue and to all others in need.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! 73˚F heading to 94˚F partly cloudy with a whopping 10% chance of rain.
With 23 days of 100˚F+˚ temps in August, it is nice to not see triple digits in the forecast for the rest of the month.

Still recovering from my moms all day ordeal at the DMV.
7:30 I left my house and got her to the DMV at 9:30 (they are open only 2 days a week and close between 10 and 1)
9:45 The one person office decides to close and tells everyone to come back after 1:00. Ignores my request to take my mom who is next in line.
1:10 the DMV tells mom she has no proof of citizenship on file and refused to renew her DL.
1:30 go to the county clerks office pay $23 for a birth certificate. Mom notices her name is spelled differently on Birth certificate.
2:15 get back in line at DMV behind 3 people in handcuffs brought over by the local bad boys prison to get their DL ?????? (legal escape?)
2:45 DVM takes a second glance at BC (thought we would be rejected again)
3:00 license renewed.
4:30 knock out moms to do list on house maintenance
6:00 back home.

Sometime in-between all this I took a call from the Railroad commission that said the protest for the disposal well by mom's will take place in Austin and best to come with a lawyer to argue why the well will cause harm. In other words burden of proof left up to the land holders. He also mentioned it would be good to have a geologist and an engineer to give expert testimony.
