Good Morning. It's 74° and 97% humidity this morning. Forecast say 95° this afternoon.
I re-installed my grapple on the 55 HP tractor so, I can pickup limbs from some recent tree trimming today. We now have seven huge burn piles, to deal with, if this extended dry period ever ends.
Maybe some window washing, on the east porch, this afternoon.
David ... very nice BH dolly. Hope you'll share the mods of the frame, to use it on your new LS. I'd like to have a BH for my XR4155HC but, couldn't justify the cost of a new one when I bought the tractor. I certainly wand a frame mounted BH, as opposed to a 3-point mounted one.
Mostly ... enjoy your lake time.
Randy ... hope all goes well with your heart doc.
Everyone have a great Friday.
Prayers to all.

71°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 78° today. The original forecast was for mid to upper 80s, but some pending storms, which look like they might last much of the day, changed that.
As of this weekend, we have officially cut the proverbial cord on phone service. I say "proverbial" because for the last several years our home phone has been through Verizon, and was really just another cellular device that ran through a stationary receiver in the house. We almost never use it, so there was no point spending the extra money every month for it. Wife even sold the equipment on Facebook Marketplace yesterday; the receiver and the four piece cordless phone system.
Another weekend event is our anniversary on Sunday; 16 years back together, 6 of them married.
I know I've told my tinnitus story here a few times; careless rock musician damage over the course of about 35 years. I know of no cure for it. There are a bunch of things that various people claim will lessen it's presence, but I've not found any of them to work for me. The only thing that has worked for me is learning to live with it. You get used to it and don't even notice it until a) you're in a quiet room, or b) someone uses the word tinnitus. Wife was watching one of those Criminal Minds TV shows a few years ago, and one of the main characters got severe hearing damage from an explosion. For the next few episodes, every time something loud happened near him, he would wince and they'd play this multi-frequency high-pitched squeal noise. She looked at me funny the first time she heard it, and I told here that's almost exactly what I hear all day every day. It doesn't fade in and then back out like they did it on TV, it's just always there. After that, she gave me much less grief about my hearing.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

We are so sorry to here this. We will always have fond memories of you and Betty visiting us and our day trips to places of interest in central Texas. We always enjoyed the "projects" together and Betty doing things with Karen with the local Red Hats. Our prayers are with you and your family.

We moved to AT&T wireless home phone a number of years ago after suffering terrible service from landland (hit or miss if you could make a call, bad static, service wouldn't come out anymore to attempt to fix it). We also grew tired of paying for the home phone that we were not really using. Got rid of the AT&T line, but got a Google Voice (free) and bought a box that hooks to network to get dial tone, hooked that to our cordless phone system. so if cell phones are not working, but internet is, we still have a way to call if needed. You can also use your Google voice on your cell phone. One of our daughters is a teacher and only gives out her Google Voice, never her cell phone.

I clicked on the Adblock Plus icon and it said it was blocking 107 ads on this page.
Really?
wow
off to put mower back on big Massey and go mow the rented land. If I get time I might put in a cover crop, something colorful or interesting through the winter that
won't create pollen or allergy problems. My lease with the land is up next June. About 1 1/2 acres. Landlord is in nursing home, affairs run by nasty daughter who accused me of trying to cheat her father....sigh, really, clearly exhibiting that mental instability runs in the family. So I am on their poop list because I told her
their family place, where she doesn't live, but used to, and which has been abandoned for over a year,
is the community eyesore and needs to be cleaned up. Well she took offense to that and wrote me off
as a **** Yankee. I probably did more nice things for her father in the last five hears than he has had done all his life, and she bites the hand that literally fed him.
what a bunch of ingrates. So....no more rental land.

Ron, I’m so sorry. Having been through it a couple of years ago I know words don’t help much, but Godspeed.

Sorry about your encounter with the neighbor's daughter. Your exploits with him have been a source of both amusement and sadness. Don't let her get you down, Drew. You did good by him ... much more so than I think most of us would have done.
