Yup. That's why I don't even bother with any of them anymore. You have to go to 5 or 6 different "news" sources, then piece together on your own what the real truth probably is.



That's been the case for a long time, and not just on this topic. Some study is always coming out to refute the results of a previous study, only to be refuted yet again a few months later by yet another study. Every time I hear or read one of those "studies show" stories, I break out into audible laughter. Science isn't real science anymore; it's a bunch of people getting paid to find confirmation of someone else's ideals, in the hopes of getting even more funding. Scientific method is all but dead.

I agree.

“… These days, news isn't news anymore, it's just opinion posing as news…”- RNG I agree and I am sorry to read about your Kubota.

I tried my free cloth facemask today when I went to pick up the truck. I backed it with some layers of paper towels. It breathed ok and it did not fog up my glasses. It would probably suppress a cough or sneeze. I am not sure how well it would protect me from aerosols. Facemasks are mandated in MA with few limited exceptions. For pumping gas or a quick and dirty exchange like today I will use these. For the Supermarket you all know how I’ll dress. The only ? with sunglasses or clear eye guards.

Sufficiently sore from the chain saw massacre of sap sucking cedars. We liberated another 10 large oaks and in about four weeks will make it down to the Park's Cameo Oak where the trail leads to. Here is a pic, of the mega Oak, my gloves are on it to give an idea of it's size. IMG_3672.JPG

Did get outside for awhile. Unloaded pallet of mulch bags from trailer. Had to get load down to 25 bags before I could lift with pallet forks. Barely, not sure what a bag of 2 cu ft mulch weighs. Must be over 30 lbs. Mulch is now stored under lean to.

Got cable for remote to iPad today. Already to go flying. But winds are hitting almost 20 mph out of the north. No let up until Sunday.

Hope Rick is OK.

Well, mission accomplished! Porch and stair railings done! Toughest part was getting the angle cuts on the pipe on the stairs.

Now, I have to figure out a way to keep the neighbor from fishing in the pond! Apparently he is not paying attention to the sign!

Seems like when I was a lot younger science was for science. Today it sure seems like science is for funding. ☹️

Got another coat of boiled linseed oil applied to the birdhouses' roofs.

Then made the trip and got new tires put on, went over to Jersey Mike's - which was across the street - and grabbed a Philly Steak while I waited.

Swung by Harbor Freight and picked up some acid/flux brushes on the way home.

Quite a few people out and about (drive back was during rush hour) ... but still not typical.

During dinner there were back-to-back ads for Jersey Mike's and the tire place I went to.

Coincidence ?

I think not ...

Got fourth birdhouse cleaned out - this was one the house sparrows had taken over the last several years, nest had 6 eggs in it.

Fourth pipe flange is in the acid bath.

LS - nice job ... looking good.

Refashioned an old dolly with some scraps on hand to make a dolly suitable for my flail mower. Nice to be able to move it around, larger wheels would make it nicer.

Thinking a dolly for my brush hog would be handy.

Got one of the electric pressure washers working. Other one needs a new gun, possibly new hose.

Pressure washed part of the concrete in front of house, getting rid of some slippery algae.

Cleaned off top layer of dirt on the Ridgeline. Yesterday, after coming out of Walmart, Sophie remarked, “know how I found the truck? Looked for the dirtiest one. “ Ouch
