Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

She's a keeper!

Oh yeah ... you bet ... :thumbsup:

 

[rswyan]

Pretty sunrise.

Incredible actually ...

 

[RoyJackson]

Trimming and chipping done...
I also climbed under a pine tree to cut some small (not evergreen) saplings down that were choking the tree...as well as some of the lower limbs of the pine that were obviously dead. I think I'll hit some more lower branches of the pine...but since I've had a shot of Jameson's and a couple beers, no chain saw work today. The rest of the chipping can wait until tomorrow or next weekend
Wifey and stepdaughter went to Duluth Trading in Massachusetts, so it's just me and Bella (Boxer pup)....we're gonna listen to some blues

73F clear sky slight wind.

Been kinda sluggish day but did clean main ditch of branch/limbs gas tanks propane tank ready for tomorrow fuel run,I did give the gas grill darn good cleaning which made Mrs. happy sooo I guess I earn my supper.
Not much plan for this evening other than dinner pick some tomatoes set on the deck might watch some NASCAR.

Enjoy the evening all.

Thomas, you need to try that Connemara Irish Whiskey and one of those smooth cigars! The whiskey is peaty (smoky) and I think would be very good with a quality cigar. The whiskey isn't cheap...about 40 bucks...but as an occasional treat, definitely worth the money

68F and cloudy @ 20:30, rain headed in possibly by 08:00 tomorrow, better chances starting around 13:00 though.

Got the entire front mowed between The Woman and me (70%/30%)

Also got one small rhododendron and 19 hosta sets transplanted.

Figured out problem with weed burner - was an inline fuel gauge that for some reason isn't allowing gas to flow. Took that out of the chain and burner operates properly. Torched about 80% of the edge of the northwest planting bed.

The Woman ran out before she started mowing to get canned cat food ... came back with a "Fancy Feast" seafood pack ... and apparently The Squeak gorged herself.

I came in this evening, and as usual, she started whining (she knows I'm a soft touch ... :laughing Woman said "Don't feed that cat ANYTHING !" ... then I got to hear about the gluttony ... (I gave Squeak and her buddy a few treats a little later ... she's a growing kitty ... or wants to be ... :laughing

Us humans suffered with BLT's for lunch.

With rain in the forecast for tomorrow, probably make a trip to Menards and Kubota dealer for parts ... if they are open.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Got the shop cleaned up, then pulled the tractor in to put on the tooth bar. Took a while to drill the holes through the hardened front edge, but got it done.


Then went to TSC to pick up our supply of wood pellets for the upcoming winter. I am glad that I did! ... the store manager told me they sold 41 out of 45 pallets they had in the last 3 days. Their next load won't come in until November 1st....



Then started clearing a spot in the garage to store the pellets. (I carelessly filled the spot where they were last year with a bunch of oak boards, 15 gals of hydraulic fluid, and a rolling tool box). I moved everything but the oak.... I'll do that tomorrow, then hump 50 - 40 lb bags off the trailer and into the garage corner. At least both my sons are home tomorrow to help.... maybe they will do all the "humping of the pellets":thumbsup: after all, it is LABOR DAY!

Good evening all. 69F for the start, mostly clear sky, calm wind. Sky became mostly cloudy then cleared off light wind day, and high temp was 90F. Chapel this morning, then breakfast, then meal delivery, after lunch, nap and lube chain and put new cleats on shoes.
Covid update: Cooke unchanged, Montague unchanged, Grayson 1577 confirmed cases, 135 active cases.
Dennis good to hear husky back up and running. Do you have a 1/2" drive socket guaranteed for life?
Jim love that line
Ted now I understand why you say the dogs eat better than you
Bill, shift point with the auto not work well with the gravel and 8% grades?
Eric welcome back. Updated pic of the hedgerows you worked on would be nice hint, hint
Roy enjoy your plinking.
Randy dreaded because of having trouble maintaining distance?
Billy hiking better option than mowing wished you could have taken Coco
Ron, nice sunset must be tough not having any projects.
RNG s done enough to keep you throughout the outages. Hope you get your house wiring worked out and scope reconfigured
Don sorry about weather-station, sorry about the bad dog food. Con Agra had a pet food plant in Rolla MO in late 70's and worker used to sample the output periodically
Rick that should get those gophers, glad you got some rain
Ted did you catch that on video? Sorry about the tooth bar
RS did she bat her eyes at you?
Roy enjoy the blues
Thomas it is Sunday, bar should be low to earn supper.
RS which direction is the Squeak growing?
Ted good luck with the "Labor day" line

Sounds like a good stretching exercise to try, thanks

TSC here doesn’t carry lignetics. They are my favorite. I need to get some. Here they run close to $300 ton

Last year, the only place I could get the Lignetics was the specialty fireplace shops, at around $400 /ton. This was the first time that I have seen them at TSC.... when I heard the price, I told the wifey and she said "go get them today!" ..... we got them at $250 a ton!

Oh, unfortunately, there was no video of him getting slimed..... he just put the video equipment away after doing a segment on "detailing my parents car"... bad timing.

good morning all. A "chilly" 61 out now, actually had to turn a little heat on in rv
Going up to mid 80's today, just lovely low humidity weather that I think is about to turn

Since the barbecue grill is out, and I haven't cleaned it yet...might as well keep barbecuing; today will be
chicken. The angus burgers came out really nicely, very low fat and didn't mess up the grill much.

read on another thread that Mollala's back operation was successful and six weeks later he got back on his tractor. :thumbsup:
Gingerly I'm sure...

Only thing planned for today is washing my car early on. The dry weather has kicked up a lot of dust from campground earth moving and
when I took a trip into bank yesterday, realized the car was coated in dirt. Am really looking forward to getting car back in garage after the move, sitting
out in this blazing hot sun isn't doing the finish any good.

Happy Labor Day!

Up way too early for a holiday!! But, I forgot to turn my alarm off (0315) so, been up for a couple hours...

48 right now...going to be a fairly warm day with a high at 80.

No particular plans...wife and stepdaughter might want to grill. I'm probably going to take those lower limbs off the pine tree I wrote about yesterday. Since I have the chipper rigged to the Deere, may as well make use of it.
But, right now...think it's time to hit the rack for a few hours...

 

[daugen]

big fire in California set off by smokebombs used in "gender reveal" party.
Had to look that up and boy did I have it wrong. Has to do with whether baby is boy or girl.
My first thought was some kind of "coming out" party for LBGT... nope.
7000 acres burned, hope someone gets fined.

 

[Buppies]

61 high of 80 today still nice

Prayers for all

I'll get it whirl oh about month almost full bottle spirit left.

Good morning all.

Ron, that was a really nice glow in the sky to end the day.

Reminds me of when I tried to "enhance" (fake?) pictures long ago with a film camera, when you didn't get to see the prints until days later

Red sky at night,
Sheppherds delight
Red sky in morning
*#*! - left the lens filter on!

before I could tell him that what he was about to do wasn't a good idea, he shoved a small screwdriver up into the hole..... WHOOOOSSSHHHH!!!
He was instantly slimed with brown thick goo.... from his pant legs up to his head.... slicked his hair back like it was the 50's.....

Priceless ! :laughing:

RNG, not sure if this helps, but with most scopes having the chassis connected to ground, for quick low frequency waveform checks I would not need to use the probe ground clip at those sorts of voltages on house wiring. If that video was showing the probe ground lead clipped on to neutral, then in my books that would be bad practice. It will cause any out of balance difference in voltage between neutral and ground to pass a current through the probe screen and through the scope chassis. As well as possibly tripping a ground leakage breaker, it may also give a false reading, where what you see on the screen is not the same as exists when the scope is not connected.


L4N, if that unwanted shifting and hunting is happening on many trucks, then the manufacturers need someone with your experience to help them redesign the auto box controller. Maybe they need to recruit a new software guy too who hasn't spent all his life on flat ground.

59F cloudy 80F for high 4 day warm up ahead with little rain.

Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today not sure yet take the day as it comes I guess.

Enjoy the day all.
