Good morning!!!!

Yep, know that place. If you went to scenic view orchard we have friends up on the hill behind it. You probably took Manahan road. Our scouts clean up the group camping site on that road every spring. One year when they were there, President Bush came biking down the road, and stopped to talk to some of the scouts.
I’ve camped there with them when the President was at the camp. They let us in with the road closed.

Yes that is where we went The view from there is spectacular It is not very far from our house. When we leave our place we have so many wonderful scenic roads to take between Maryland and Southern PA. Remember the days when we lived in big cities it could take hours to clear traffic and not even get out into nature like we can here out the backdoor

This shows one area of our tree plantings with some more mature trees and on the outside rows we planted Redbud trees to enjoy the colors in the spring

This is a pic of one of our Redbuds last spring

HBD to Mark’s wife.

The Kawasaki race bike is now officially a runner. When I won it in the raffle, it was allegedly “ready to race”. No it wasn’t…..it was a $100 motorcycle that needed a lot of work. And parts. It still needs some odds and ends, but it runs, it is amazingly quick…wow! Even lofts the front wheel quite well. Took it up and down the road 3 times.

Good (Tuesday) morning. A cool overnight temperature of 3.0C and things are warming up nicely to 18C. There was 4mm in the gauge over the weekend. Clear sky.

A great weekend was had. The 'paranormal investigation' (in Ward C, Male criminally insane!) started slow and then heated up with many of the 'trigger' objects being activated. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday, we caught an afternoon movie... that "Top Gun, Maverick" show, which was quite enjoyable. The evening was the "Postmodern Jukebox" concert from 2000 to 2230. Fantastic!!!

Home drive was uneventful and the evening was spent watching the Queen's funeral.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for Penelope the pussybeast to come in (don't want to 'spook' her) and then getting her into the carrier so that I can take her to the cattery for my, and my Mate's, trip to Canada starting Thursday.

So if you don't hear from me 'til mid October, don't worry.

Take care all.

Mostly, it’s 21 miles to mission bbq here, 1.6 less miles than va.

We are 20-30 minutes from most things here, except work is 60 minutes. Things might actually be closer from the lot.

Bought turbocad tonight. A little more awkward than autocad or microstation. But with help from google, I was able to create a copy of the plat and got all lines dimensioned properly. All lines entered with length, and degree-minute-seconds for angles.
I bought a bundle that includes symbols and training, although they have a lot of online training.
On the survey, the last line I entered said ~ to the end point. On CAD it was within .1”, that’s pretty darn good closure.
And turbocad will open my old microstation and autocad drawings.

After creating a turbocad account, they sent me back an email with my account name and PASSWORD in the email. How stupid of them. I sent back an email Really? I promptly changed the password. I was expecting another email with the new password but didn’t get one.

I also downloaded openVPN to set up on the church computer, once that is set, I’ll be able to securely VPN to the network, then I’ll remove RDP from the router forwarding. For now I disabled remote connections.

55° right now...high in the mid-60's. Had a really nice soaking rain last night...don't know how late it rained. Supposed to get more today (I hope).
Wife has Covid and, although I don't think Her's is as severe as mine was, she's feeling poorly. If stepdaughter can't stay home with her, I guess I will...

BTW, still positive and infectious....up to 2 weeks after one is supposedly well. Be aware of that...

 

[daugen]

good morning all
Roy, hope you and your family all get better soon.

like many of us, watched the funeral for awhile.
several small things got my attention....look at all the horse poop they had to drive through....
and wow, can you imagine the dry cleaning bill for this whole event? Those uniforms are amazing.

I loved the way the one young Royal lady, Princess something, aged seven?, was constantly correcting her little brother on keeping his hands by his
side and looking "proper". The love for the late Queen is clear.
Kudos to the King for making that long walk

warmer weather coming in, two nice days and then rain, and then turning colder.

putting the leaf bagger on the lawn mower will be today's project. It's that time...

 

[Buppies]

60 high of 85 today heating coming for day or two One of my employees has Covid one recovering from car wreck

Mostly it was the heavy items 5 50 pound bags of salt, 3 32 packs of water etc

Prayers for all our Country

 

[riptides]

65 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's.

Looks to be another day to whack down the grasses. Got the big pasture fence line tamed, inside and out. Three tanks of gas, two trimmer string replacements and two gatorades. Not bad. LOL.

Need to cut back some trees today for the mower.

Mostly, he is coming after me. Issue is no final figures were provided and what was proposed (over 5 months ago) does not match what insurance will cover.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe, safe travels and get healthy. Across the board!

 

[m7040]

Good morning
Roy wish you and family the best

64 F going to 80 or so today
Will pick up groceries this morning and perhaps clean up on some mowing around the edges from yesterday.
Wagtail have a safe trip to Canada. Used to work in Montreal.
BEF, the VPN is good insurance against hackers. Gives us access to foreign TV content to watch movies and news
Our daughter leaving this morning for the UN General Assembly meeting this week
