52F and clear @ 21:45, high temp hit 64F today. Headed down to 41F overnight.

Last two boxes of white worms tended and fed first thing.

Got air filter blown out and foam pre filter oiled and installed and then put it back in the Cub.

Then I put out the orange half for the oriole:

Looks like we have some volunteer wildflowers around the base of that maple. Not sure what they are, but we'll take them.

Checked mealworm feeder out front, half of the 30 mealworms I put in there yesterday were gone ...

Pulled out small veggies plants from the garage and watered those with the little hand sprayer.

Spent most of the day up in the shop.

Some cleaning done.

Got new handle installed on a square-nose shovel with rivet.

Got the head for the Craftsman bow rake removed from what was left of the old wood handle. That took quite a while, drilling, chiseling, etc.

Sharpened The Woman's Cutco Pruners and a 1/4" spade bit.

Was a comfy 80F in there when I left to come back down to the house.

Washed up a vase and then went out back and clipped five tulips for The Woman, four dark red and one medium red:

Really liking the dark red ones.

UPS had dropped off her new string trimmer, so I went ahead and assembled that and put the batteries on to charge.

Mowed most of the east side down here around the house.

Started doing the dishes and some kitchen clean up, got most of the dishes done.

About that time I gave Her a call and found out She was about to head for the barn. Told Her that I had used half her orange for the oriole. She said be sure to have your camera ready next time he shows up.

Wasn't but a couple of minutes after we got off the phone, guess who showed up on the suet feeder out the kitchen window:

Evidently found the orange half I put out too - it was rotated 90 degrees on the screw I had placed it on next time I looked out there.

All in all a fairly decent day.

Hope everyone had a great Saturday ...

About the reservation thing, last summer you had to pay online for a reservation to drive up Cadillac mountain in Acadia National Park. great view if the weather is nice. Nice revenue stream for the Park which I think is way underfunded.

Chris

That’s a new one. It’s just a little hill. Can’t imagine paying for that.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Roy, get well soon.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Up to 4.16” of rain.

Finally remembered to change Subaru oil. Almost forgot again.
Most of day and evening doing paperwork. Found a $112 overcharge on a credit card, from a food truck at work. They are here this week, gotta get that resolved.
Most other bills paid, Credit cards reconciled.

Roy, that really sucks. Do hope you bounce back.

The wild dogwood is really pretty and the yellow buttercups are blooming in the field, just too messy to get a picture.

 

[toppop52]

Kinda under the weather 102 fever for both of us. Slept all day yesterday

Prayers for all

Randy, you guys take care and get well soon. Don’t be shy to go to the doctor.

 

[toppop52]

Roy, don’t be doing that stuff! Get well soon and don’t try to do what you aren’t supposed to. I’m sure you’ll be back on a tractor before you know it.

 

[sodamo]

Prayers for your recovery, Roy. Did the angina play a role? Warning sign? Speedy recovery.

First, thanks to all of you for the best wishes and get well soon!!

Don't think the angina had any role in the stroke.

I'm getting well pretty quickly...leg function pretty normally, occasionally it just doesn't work. That's why I'm using the walker and will continue to do so.
The doctors said it was a full fledged stroke, but it seems I'm recovering pretty quickly (unlike my first stroke which took months to heal...and some things never came back).
I'd call this a mini stroke, but I ain't a doctor.

 

[Wagtail]

Good arvo all! Another 'cool' morning, but only a low of 7C. High of 17C and there was 0.5mm in the gauge. Clear sky and fairly calm.

Just Church this morning. I may do a couple of 'signs' tomorrow and Tuesday is a 6 monthly dental check-up.

Take care.

 

[NHBX]

Roy, keep on the mend.

 

[Alien]

Best wishes Roy. We know you look after yourself but it is still a nasty surprise when they hit you. I lost my youngest brother to a stroke when he was just 59.

We have some little birds here this year that have never been here before. They love mirrors and chat their heads off.
They are Grey Crowned Babblers.

good morning all
still raining, will stop in an hour or two, looks like over three inches of rain during two days, my weather station reset in middle so not sure.

out early, business meeting at church and I have to be there at 8am.

wow Roy, so sorry to hear that. Heal quickly, feel better.

wrapped up muffins to take to church. They are my healthy blueberry muffins, whole grain, apples and blueberries, flax seed, and about half the sugar
of normal muffins. Do they taste as good as the sugary ones? No...but I also think those Otis Spunkmeyer or whatever muffins you find in the truck stops to
be plain awful, you can squeeze the cooking oil out of them, made to last for a month on the shelf. Mine go dry in days but they never last that long.

Rain will have ended by time I get home, curious to check out waterlogged gardens, and my new plants, waiting for me. Maybe tomorrow for planting, today is a swamp.

I hope Bird's wife has an extra nice Mother's Day.
All those years of putting up with him...
Delightful to spend so much time on earth with the one you love.

My mom died at age 51 when I was 21. Dad at 66. I'm now 72, grateful to make it this far and grateful
for all the help along the way.

Get your kisser ready for Mother's Day.

I can only imagine what it was like to lose your parents at such an early age. My Dad and his Dad both died at 80. My mother lived to be 85, but the last 10 years in a hospital, nursing home, and wheel chair were not so good.

 

[Bird]

Had a stroke Thursday evening. Lost the right leg (which also had limited functionality as a result of the stroke in 1999)
Most came back, including the leg, within a couple days. Still have a bit of dizziness.
I'll be using a wheeled walker for a while, and prohibited from driving until a doctor say's I'm OK to drive. Couldn't find the laws concerning driving after a stroke, but knowing Vermont, I'm sure there is.
So, I'm back catching up on the TBN forums!

Sorry to hear about the stroke, but glad to hear things are getting better.

Good Morning
It’s 43 and might make 55 today as it clears up and the sun peeks out. According to the Davis weather station we got 3.7 inches, the Tempest lagged by about an inch. Historically the Davis has been the one to trust.

Yesterday was a miserable day to be outside, but a great day to kick back and watch YouTube videos. We went to a 70th birthday party for a high school classmate in the afternoon. It was supposed to be a surprise party out side at her son’s house. The weather caused a change in venue to her house, which of course did away with the surprise. But a good time was had by all.

Today I’m headed to Sarasota again, but there is nothing that I could be doing outside here other than testing waterproof boots.
It’s supposed to stay windy, hopefully that will help dry things up.

 

[Thomas]

Dang it Roy your to active and young for the down time...take easy.

 

[Thomas]

Hope your bride and you feeling 100% better Buppies.

I'd call this a mini stroke, but I ain't a doctor.

My wife had 2 strokes back in 2008-2009, despite the second one putting her very close to funeral arrangements she pulled through and recovered well.
So hang in there, with determination you might recover enough to run a marathon.
