Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Mrs. went for short tractor ride and made smart @ss remark in fun tho.."Tractor has more options than your pickup,tilt steering wheel cruise control arm rest...

That sounds to me like permission for you to go get a new pickup truck, Thomas.

Seems only fitting, you know, to go along with her new tractor!:laughing::laughing:

I'm gradually switching over to NoSpills, too, Paul.

One thing I've noticed, though. If the gas filler is on the side of a car, opening horizontally rather than vertically, you can't easily fill it with those right angle nozzles. At least, I haven't figured out how to do it.

The five gallon size is also heavy enough that it's awkward to hold the button down with one hand and support the weight with the other. I keep a 2.5 gallon version around, and have been known to fill that from one of the 5ers, then use the smaller can to fill the little gas tanks.

I really, really like the 1 gallon can I use for chainsaw premix. In that application, they really are no spill.

NoSpill makes a flexible plastic (vinyl?) spout extension that lets you fill the truck with those cans. I seem to remember that they are kind of expensive for what they are. You could probably use a short piece of vinyl tube.

Weird weather day, 66 by 10 AM, then a line of storms dropped it to 53 with strong winds, then sunny afternoon and up to 65, then another shower, then sun.
We took Gracie for our afternoon walk.

Good evening. Another day that barely got to 51 with clouds and a steady breeze. But tomorrow is supposed to be decent. 68 and partly sunny.

Got pizza for dinner tonight. Local place. First time I have stepped foot in a bar or restaurant in 7 weeks. Actually felt strange.

Everyone stay safe out there

Started off with getting the registration renewal sent in for the car.

Then the local S & G guys dropped off 19 tons of crusher run mid afternoon - good timing as it's supposed to be nice tomorrow, but I'll have to remove the backhoe and put the BB on to work it. Then rain on Sunday which should help to settle it in.

Made dinner after that - one of those Hello Fresh meals ("Balsamic Fig Chicken with Roasted Potatoes and Lemony Broccoli") - turned out good ... :thumbsup:

Going to head back down to the bunker here in a bit and see how the HDD formatting is coming along ... need to feed DC and check the salt in the water softener while I'm down there. Might need a 1/2 bag or so ... but we should be good for another month or two with what we have on hand.

Hope everyone had an enjoyable day.

Good evening all. 60F for the start, sunny, light wind. Wind increased quickly and wind gusts 35+ this morning, higher in afternoon. partly cloudy sky and high temp was 85F. Bike early this morning to miss the worst of the wind. Was going to get the rest of the catkins off roof, but too windy settled for oil change and blade sharpening
Cooke county numbers out of whack, have 2 sources and they don't agree, Montague unchanged, Grayson up 2 to 34.
Eric good to see you back, just remember Jay is going back to sunglasses to increase voluntary social distancing.
Billy nice joke, wife enjoyed it too. reminds me of a friend's bike jersey :licking:
Mike sorry to hear about your daughter, will she be tested?
Ron great pic enjoy your aunt visit
Don chickens eat what ever is available. nice pic of the kids.
Jay only 12 years active, flying field was underwater in 93, and ran out of time to fly.
RNG sounds like a rough patch glad you're not hurt. As far as running a back hoe never done it and I shall cast no stones :tractor:
David go luck with hydroponics
PJ keep us posted on how well they work.
Buckeye my drive way is so short the mail person just walks up. Hope she did not hurt the floers too much
Thomas looks like BooBoo doubled in size. If my wife made that remark it would be to rub in how much nicer her tractor is than my truck
RNG good luck getting TPH arms
Randy nice pics
RS step daughter got us 6 weeks of 3 meals, she has been picking out meals and gave us the week off.
Buckeye at least you got the flight in.
prayers for all.
stay safe and healthy.

Great tube but we have to ask: Why did he stop?

Probably messing with his headphones or music

Some more mowing.
I started landing it on my picnic table.

3 flights over 1.5 hr time.

Good morning, the temp is 39°F and going to a high of 57. Wind WSW 7 mph. 70% chance of rain.

The exhaust stack job is all done until I can get a piece of 1.75" ID stainless steel pipe and get it bent to my specs.

Most of the jobs that had to wait until winter was over are done. The one remaining can wait until fall.

I think I will conserve energy today.


Have a safe and healthy day all

35 right now...high in the mid-60's today and sunny.

Chores: maybe a dump run...don't have much so that's just "maybe". I'd like to get a haircut today, if the barbershop is open.
I'd mentioned a couple weeks ago I had broken a fuel tank vent on my zero-turn. Got the parts last week so replacement today and hopefully a smooth easy job. After this week's steady rain, it'll probably be too wet to actually mow...maybe tomorrow
After that, we'll take it as it comes...

Good morning. So far this year there are only a handful of swallows around the house. Instead of their usual flying in seemingly random paths these like to stay in formation, which makes for impressive displays when they are spiralling against the clear blue sky. Maybe the females haven't arrived yet, these could well all be males, content for now to hang together and have a good time.

RNG, great to see your un-redacted tractor at work.

Rip, hope your daughter will be ok, as are the vast majority at her age. So much admire those who are prepared to put themselves in harms way to help others.

 

[Buppies]

Red breasted bunting still here eats bird feed like crazy in fact tho males to go with blue birds yellow and red finches house wrens who just had babies now out of nest learning the brave new world

Cool shirt and interesting tunnel. Is there another bike trail over top of it? I like the flexible pipe "safety" wrap.
