52F and clear @ 22:45, very bright sunshine and clear skies today ... looks like the haze from the fires has cleared out here. Got warm enough at one point that I had to take off my long-sleeved shirt and go to pocket-tee only ... :laughing:

All bird feeders filled ... :thumbsup:

Bluebirds apparently have still not figured the mealworm feeder however ... :confused2:

Pin, washer, and retaining ring replaced on mower. Grass needs mowed ... The Woman was asking about it tonight ... looks like she wants some seat time tomorrow ... :laughing:

Took water buffalo up to water grass seed - which is now up btw - around upper catch basin and found out WB was basically empty ...

Dropped it off back down at the house, will refill tomorrow.

Gathered up more debris from northeast planting bed and took that up to compost pile and covered it - along with some more grass clippings - with older compost. The older compost was steaming when I dug it out ... :thumbsup:

Got some soil re-screened, hauled three bucket loads down to the southeast planting bed, took one bucket that I dug out from dry creek bed down there back up to be screened.

Broke open the 4th bale of peat moss and worked some in, in one of the large planting holes. This hole needs some screened compost added to it, as it's low.

Cleaned out around another azalea, got it pruned, soil sulphur and peat moss worked in, but not watered. That emptied the 2nd bag of soil sulphur.

Hauled down another three bucket loads of mulch from the pile over in the woods:

... under the watchful gaze of a local resident:

After spreading some of that out, I used the weed burner to toast the weeds around another large planting hole and about 15' of the edge of this bed.

About that time (20:00) it was getting too dark to see, so I spent a few minutes just sitting in the chair, enjoying the twilight and the coolness of the evening before heading in and fixing dinner.

Hope everyone had a great day.

The wifey and I had a date Saturday. Her birthday is Sunday. We went to Fogo de Chau in Houston, and then she wanted to pick up some Dunkin' donuts for Sunday morning...She was mad that we couldn't go into the Dunkin' store to see what was available. But we got a dozen plain glazed , and an assortment for the 2nd dozen.

Believe it or not, the part of Houston we went to is in much better condition than Austin....(our other choice for fancy restaurants). I saw maybe 1 homeless, and zero encampments. I'm sure they are there in other parts of town.

Washed the Gator XUV 835m and took it for a spin. That thing sure is nice, I could only imagine how nice the cabbed model is for putting around.

Rodeo: I missed it, but they had the top calf ropers here for a benefit tournament. I believe there were around 50 of them, with past world champions. I like to watch them, when I have time.

Not planning on watching NFL on Sunday.

Some of RNG's haze has made it here. The Beta storm might hit near my hometown. Watching closely. Hopefully just mainly a rain event....but I guess 70mph winds (predicted) can tear up some stuff.

Nice pictures youz guyz.

I'm teaching Sunday school tomorrow, then helping usher. Daughter is running the slide projector.

I remember going to the dump, and someone had just tossed in 2 old tube TV's...I picked up a 1.5" rock and it bounced off the tube, so I got a baseball sized rock and let 'er rip. Implosion. I had a decent arm when I was young.

Prayers for those in need, and our country. Jay, Farmer, Rip too.

Happy birthday to Mrs Kyle

Morning all!
36 here going to 58. Still no furnace. Thank goodness for the pellet stove!
Got the mower off and the snow blower mounted to the rear of the tractor. Rearranged the garage so we can store everything out of the way. To cold to wash the cars so we will wait till next week when it is supposed to be warmer.
I think today will be a good do nothing day.
16 Thomas days and only 8 more actual work days to go!

 

[daugen]

good morning all.
54 degrees going up to 70 today, should be a nice sunny breezy day.

Kyle, please wish your wife Happy Birthday from all of us
Best wishes for Jay and Peg

up too early, worrying about the move North, haven't heard back from fireman neighbor confirming he can move my small amount of stored furniture and my car. Will rest much easier once
he gets back to me and will follow up with him today. Local movers don't seem very interested in going out of state, particularly on a small job like mine. And I'd also rather have someone I trust driving my car... Only three weeks away and I never like leaving things to last minute. If neighbor says yes, will go back to HF and pick up some more moving blankets on sale. Last big unknown on my list.

ordered a cordless phone answering machine from Amazon so I'd have it when I got there. Choice between AT&T, Panasonic and Vtech, lots of experience selling all three in my Radio Shack years ago. All good brands. Went with AT&T, made sure it had call blocking for robodialers. Unit I used to sell for 200 bucks now costs 70 with three cordless phones. I also have to buy a new tv when I get to PA and they are remarkably cheap too. I rarely watch tv so don't need the latest OLED or whatever, a smart 4k will be fine for me, and lots of brands out there. Sadly this is all disposable electronics, and winds up eventually on a pile in Indonesia...I've always bought Sony or Samsung before but now lots more choices. I do most of my video watching on the screen I'm looking at now, a 27 HP high rez monitor which I will hook back up to a Klipsch computer sound system in PA. Some of these tvs are now so big they completely dominate the room and I'm going into a small house. Funny how a 55 tv is now considered "small"...

Will go for a walk this morning and then not much planned. Hope you all have a nice Sunday.

Happy birthday to Mrs. Kyle. Sounds like a nice date. I said you were brave going into Austin, but doubly brave going to Houston .

I'm not watching NFL, either. My son's doing Fantasy football again this year...I told him I'd have a hard time since I only know one or two names any more. But I'm keeping up with baseball. My 3 fantasy teams are all in the end of season "playoffs."

 

[wngsprd]

42 going to 67. Chilly here, too.

I woke up at 4:30 to the sound of the geo-thermal HVAC running...the unit is under our bedroom, but usually very quiet...so it seemed a little louder than usual, set to automatically switch from AC to heat...has 2 stages, so was really blasting away with the heat going...then I remembered I had left the big door to go under the house open yesterday...also right under our bedroom...then remembered all the little funnel shaped holes in the ground on that side of the house I saw yesterday...the ones skunks make when going for grubs...so I got dressed, grabbed a flashlight and weapon and went to close the door/hunt skunks...walked about 400 yards but saw none. Then took the dog out...great stars this morning.

Microsoft pushed the new version of Edge onto my computer last night while I was eating dinner...hate that...I had delayed accepting their download suggestions since I wasn't sure I had enough HD storage left or enough RAM to run it. Seems to be slower to load, but running okay. I guess I better delete more stuff from the HD and hopefully things will run smoother.

Morning!
75 and FL muggy, as per usual.
We were off on a wife's horse thing yesterday, half way over to Jax. rained off and on all morning then followed us home. Wish I had the weather station installed to see just how much rain we are actually getting. Nearest official weather is from the Ocala airport and our local clime is different enough.
Sunday today but still got stuff to do: get the soundbar back in service (just what did she do to it, anyway?) Couldn't find anything wrong, just wouldn't work.
Get the library shelves straightened for one. Got my HDD shelf up in the computer room. Need to put up the Modem/Router shelf next.
Wish I could put out the bird feeder but I don't want the mess in the front yard and we haven't got a good back (north facing view) hmmph!
Just a touch of cooler air sneaking in, 73 yesterday morning on the way out, supposed to drop this coming week. I'll be glad of that!
Wife's tack room arrived at the dealership but we're still shy of the permitting for all 3 - Tack Shed, Stall Shelter (aka "Carport") and Workshop (Mine!) so delivery is not happening. Also I've got to get after Electricans to keep Wholhouse Generator on track.
Think I'll shut up now.
Stay well everyone!

30 right now...pajama weather!! High in the upper 50's today.

No haircut yesterday, and I'm very surprised I didn't get a call back (I'd left a message on Thursday afternoon). I hope they didn't close shop, but there's a number of small businesses that have due to unnecessary restrictions killing their business. **** shame as this barbershop has been around for many years...maybe I'll run up to Randolph and see what's going on...
Got the curtain rods up...had to cut down the longer one...wasn't too tough. Two of the curtains are up, the third is in the wash and will go up today.
Down side, my back is killing me now and I'm a bit stooped when I walk. It'll clear up in a couple days...
Chores today is getting some yard equipment put away for the winter. Besides the chipper, there's a tow-behind aerator and lawn roller. I guess the flail mower is ready for winter too, come to think of it. It's probably too early, but can't hurt to rig the snow blower to the 3PH
That'll keep me busy for a few hours

Last tv I got rid of accidentally got busted by a backhoe. Oops.

My last plasma screen ran out and was hit by a front end loader.

 

[toppop52]

42° going to 65° today, that was a bit of an uptake this morning.
Back is a little sore but not too bad, got a couple of things to finish up today. Church service early first.

Kyle, tell the young lady happy birthday from the Eastern Shore.

All y’all do good stuff today.

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking second cup of coffee. 34° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 68° with sunny skies. Never got to lawn trimming yesterday. TV in bedroom would not scan all channels. Went to Sam's Club and bought a new one. Need to watch what you but. Many 4K TV's do not have a over the air tuner. By the time I got TV's switched out it was afternoon. Some garden pond maintenance this morning. The start trimming.
Lots of critter action at bird feeders yesterday.

Rich, being on the call desk can be very interesting. I had to spend a week doing it every 6 months. Still better than flying to Italy to replace a fuse. The guy on call desk did not do his job that week.

Buckeye, which Web Boost did you get? Any leftovers?

Kyle, Happy Birthday Mrs. Kyle.

Wngspd, good no skunks.

LS, boxes of grease. :thumbsup: I did not see them at my TSC when I was there Friday. And I'm know as a Grease Magnet. :confused3:

Chuck, you been busy. Hope you get all the permits done.

Drew, when you buy a TV make sure it has a tuner if you want OTA channels. Not much available for 4K yet. I bought a 1080P.

Phil, 8 days of work left. :thumbsup:

Mostly, suit pants altered?

RS, great photos.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone. Especially Jay, Riptides and RNG.

Good Morning All.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! this will be the coldest morning for the next 10 days. 58˚F heading to the low 80s.

TS Beta is still dancing around in the Gulf, we are still out of any projected path cone but Kyle and Rick are still in it. It is predicted to come ashore between Corpus Christi and Galveston and then turn east head through Houston. Our rain chances are up to 90% and we need rain.

Happy Birthday to your bride Kyle.
