I feel the same way, Randy, but realize that at some point I'll no longer be able to care for myself, let alone keep up with the maintenance here. It'll be a heart breaking process, but I'll probably end up in some forsaken old folks home. Hopefully my end will come soon after; I've seen enough of those places already taking care of parents, etc. Maybe I'll just wander off into the woods instead and save everybody the trouble of dealing with a cantankerous old man that misses the heaven he still loves...

Regardless of circumstances, they’re going to have to drag me away.

Got back from the funeral, mower axle has arrived. But got to work some more, then go to dentist. Really nice out today, 72° and partly sunny with a nice breeze.

The TT motorcycle races on the Isle of Mann are in full swing, and a new lap record was set at over 134 MPH. And the guy that set it did so from a standing start! Here's some video from his ride (scroll down to near the bottom of the page):

Watch the World Go Blurry As the Isle of Man TT Lap Record Falls

I believe the Velocity cable TV channel is covering it this year. Lots of historical background, rider interviews, and lots and lots of dash cam video like above!

The sad thing is 2 riders have died this year.

Took a break from work mid morning and mowed the lawn.. still love my Ferris ZTR. It was overdue but I wanted to give the spray plenty of time to work on the weeds.. it needs water bad now since we didn't want to put all the hoses back out before we mowed.. still had a few to move but not bad.

The wheat field across the road has finished "blooming" and pollen is not as bad as it was last week and weekend..

PJS, tell your wife "great job". Cloned.

I have a 15" South Bend (made in france) lathe that needs 3 phase power in my barn. I highly recommend a bridgeport type mill if you can only have 1 mill. Tooling is the most expensive part. I have full access (only machinist left) at work. But alas, the cobbler's sons wear no shoes. The painter's house needs a fresh coat. If I ever get to retire (probably won't), I might get some 3 phase rotary power set up.

Don will have 1 load just of instant pots....You might keep a small trailer, to haul off golf balls.

Don, I killed a rat snake that got into the chicken coop prior to dark Saturday night. I just didn't feel right about sending him to the new owner since I don't know him.

We need rain. South Texas has no hay already. South central Texas has had only 10" this year. Big cracks in the ground.

Sodamo, diesel about $3.00/gal here.

Prayers for my brethren.

Drew, get some rest.
