I don’t think of myself as overly stressed (normally) but I do like the breathing app on my apple watch, seems to have a calming effect.

LS, the only things that will carry over until fall are the compost pile needs turning and the field is too soft to get into. The other thing is the lean-to roof. Again the ground is too soft. When I tore the lean-too roof off I buried the Kioti up to the housings. I also have three portable shelter roofs to replace. I think I will contract that one out.

I done this and this edit on my PC.

Good evening! It was an overcast windy day here. I think it just barely hit 80° this afternoon and very windy all day.

I lost a good friend and my long time golf partner last week and TBN just hasn't been at the top of my list lately. Not a great time for funerals but there will be one helluva celebration of life .. sometime in the future. He and I were both USAFSS Airborne in the late 60's.

I have peaked in to keep up with everyone though. Lots of great projects moving forward everywhere.

Drew .. hope the docs get this figured out. You're in our prayers for quick and complete healing.

Don .. I'm keeping up with your clearing under the big live oaks. I've been chopping yaupon and have three huge brush piles from a week's work.

I'm so glad to see Texas starting to open up again. Our county has only one active case now. The other 11 have recovered.

I .. need a haircut! (Unless mullets come back in style)

Everyone please stay safe and healthy.

Prayers .. for all of you.

Had trouble with TBN last night...editor doing what Don explained.

LS, stairs look good.


Good morning! 29 now, 62 or so later. Full moon was impressive last night.

Power went out at 1:00 this morning. Strange as it sounds, woke me up, been awake ever since. Came back on about 5:15. So working on the 2nd cup of coffee already.

I am gonna vent....been dealing with what I consider a poor dealer on a problem this week. I told them Monday they needed to order a fairly major part to make a repair. They didn稚 order it, but have called several times since to whine about making the repair. Yesterday afternoon, they called and asked for drawings to get the part made locally. Told them no, against company policy. Next call I get is from my boss..,.the dealer called him and told him I wouldn稚 help them! That phone call was very frosty as was my return call to the dealer, who said �aybe we misunderstood? Then asked if this was warranty! Machine is well out of warranty. I don稚 think I am done with this situation yet.

Wife is starting to like my culinary creations. She thinks I should continue to work from home while she works.

Everyone stay safe out there

Well Rich, I got to hand it to the dealer, he's trying every angle but the one that'll cost him money. Annoying. Has he got away with this before?

57F more cloudy than sun now with steady wind.

No back pay??? I guess you should've ran up there and clocked in like nothing's happened since Oct...just for fun.

Rick? What's up? Hope things are OK.

Drew, hopefully the ship will right itself level again soon.

L4N, looks good.

I got the cheap new carburetor mounted on the Echo SRM 225 weedeater, but it was bogging too much. I watched a video on how to pull out a little brass plug and use a small flathead screwdriver to tune it. So I had to take it back off to do it, but it runs much better now.

I think Roy's back ache made a run for it down to here....(hope yours is better Roy).

When you bounce back you really bounce high, I think they were missing you.:D

That's why some of them are "useful idiots" Don. Google the term .. and you'll understand.

Big suspicions about one "poster" over there. He worked very hard to get me suspended twice. He posts here on TBN .. under a different screen name and others have "smoked him out". TNT is certainly not "Safe Space" for conservatives. It's mostly the same ones from previous TBN FP.

Are y'all creating your own mulch from what you're clearing from under your oaks? Big chipper? With all I chop, trim, and burn .. I've really considered a tractor mounted, PTO driven chipper.

We're all good here Kyle .. Thanks for asking. The mourning is over and I'm moving ahead.

A good few hours with the rotary mower. Glad to report the rebuilt slip clutch worked great. Smoked it once so it does slip

Good evening all. 54F for the start, mostly sunny, light breeze. Windy day today, clouds increase through the day and high temp was 81F. Bike ride to start off, worked on fitting new boat cover, not going to work, worked nap in, helped with making the seafood enchiladas. Rain forecast for tonight, first wave did not put much water on the ground.
Covid updates Cooke, unchanged, Montague, unchanged, Grayson up to 60 confirmed cases.
Bill you have the problems with news reporters as we do in the states.
Thomas hope you don't get behind on firewood.
Rich sounds like the customer from h3l*, hope the path forward is smoother.
Don I had some goofiness last night hope you can keep garden going in the mean time.
Billt arm warmers are sleeves that hold themselves in place. Have fun watching chipmunks
Mike enjoy your park visit, could use some of your moisture.
RNG they got buried, nobody here eats them, there is way too many in the lake. Sounds like you are on the verge of getting the trench for the solar project done!
Jay enjoy your weather and good luck with firewood.
Eric no the are going to be buried.:eek:
Don I rarely drink more than 1 12 oz V-8 per day, full sodium.
Buppies is the KY31 a fescue/bluegrass hybrid?
Randy have fun finishing the El Camino.
Drew, hope you work out how much stress is too much and work enough to get stuff done, sounds like time to sell.
David that will teach her to get you to wash the truck :drink:
Thomas bad news on the meatloaf front, man that back pay would have been nice.
Bill nice work, like the black pipe.
Rick good to see you back, sorry about your buddy nice work on the oaks. Once you kill the yaupon does mowing keep it under control?
David feral pig? :eek:
Using Firefox and win7 on computer all normal again.
prayers for all
stay safe and healthy.

Busy day on TBN, and here also.

Rick, sorry for loss of your friend.

That mountain behind LS house is how I found him.

Got my router “fixed” this evening. Stayed up till 2 am last night working on it. I have 2 of them. So I configured my new one, and it had same issues. I reconfigured several times. There’s basic settings, advanced settings. Then last night found they run on Linux, and has ssh. So got into it and started looking at logs and dmesg and saw a DNS issue. So the solution was to set DNS properly.
Also figured out my work issue.

My college son had his last final today. Since internet wasn’t working good, went to the church building, he took test while I worked.
Coming back took him over the stone bridge, and we stopped and took pictures.
