Good morning!!!!

Good morning! HOTTEST DAY of the summer predicted today - up to 107˚.

Ron, I need to find out how far away from the land line base station a person can get and LifeLine will still be effective. She just needs it for her house and yard, except if she falls at the mailbox. I need to check if the cell phone needs to be a smart phone.

Good Morning Everyone!!!

I had Thomas vs. Randy "visuals" last night Some men have the legs for wearing pumps. There is a local here who wears his dresses and pumps to the Transfer Station; he doesn't have the legs, but his girlfriend does

RNG- Thanks for the hummingbird feeder information. We have been using a boiled 1:4 sugar:water mixture w/o red dye for years.

Billy- Thanks for sharing about the hummer feeders with slits. Thinking about it one of our feeders has the slits and it never gets hornets; only ants.

David- It's amazing that I have never been "winged" during those hummer fights; even the little ones are fighting.

Mike- Do you have any options to deal with the new water drainage from your neighbor's property?

A foggy/misty 60ｺF start to the morning and the "perimeter" check with Brogen. It was not raining then. It is raining now. I see lot's of rain, rain showers, torrential downbursts, and possible Tstorms most of the week. Like previously posted we need the rain around here.

Wifey made her first batch of pesto with our own garden's basil last night. We have tomatoes, but they are far from ripe at this point.

Another cup of coffee and it will be time to look at that cellar leak.

I hope that everyone had a decent Monday.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

One hummingbird here but no feeder. He comes every year friendly sort will fly right up next to you about a foot from your face

They’ll do that here, too. I’ve even had them come into the garage while I’m working, buzz around a lap, then hover near me as if to say ”Hey, we’re hungry! Get out there and fill up our feeders!”:shocked::laughing:

I was wrong. My mother had Philips Life Line. Here is a list of some of the different systems.

Maybe we resolve with a Thomas vs. Randy Beauty Contest?

:shocked: Wonder what brought this on. :confused3:

Thomas, You’ll have to re-read yesterday’s posts about the Post Office. I think you may have been called out?

Good Morning!!!! 76F @ 5:15AM. Sunny. High 99F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

I used to boil the water before adding sugar as well, thinking the nectar would spoil if I didn’t. I stopped that last year because the birds were going through nectar so quickly I was spending too much time waiting for four gallons of water to boil and cool. So far, aside from an occaissional mold outbreak, I haven’t seen any problems with the nectar, but I do have half a shelf in the fridge full of milk bottles after making up a batch. The yellow jackets must be dumb around here. They buzz around and once in a while land on the feeder base, but don’t seem to be able to get through the holes in the little yellow flowers. The hummers don’t like yellow jackets, and will get out of their way if both are at the feeders. The birds are so small, a sting could well be fatal.

Glad to hear your old bike is up and running again. Wng. I’ve seen some really nasty bicycle accidents involving helicopter life flights, and hope you treat yourself to new tires and tubes before you get out on the highway for real. A good helmet is a must, too, though they won’t do much for a face plant.

Good luck with your lathe phone call, Ed. If you end up with a refund, any idea what you’ll get instead? Your money will go farther with a used lathe, and it will likely come with tooling for an additional savings. But availability in your area might not be so good, and shipping something that heavy isn’t cheap. If buying used, make sure you get to see it run, go through the gears, forward and back, and verify that all the power feeds work as well. If you have a dial indicator, set it up and see how true the headstock is running. If it comes with a three jaw chuck, you shouldn’t see much more than 0.002” runout on it. New bearings are horribly expensive...

Hope everyone’s week gets off to a great start!

....

Unfortunately no. When he was doing his regrading, I inquired as to what he was doing and relationships got worse from there.

It's the old property/water drainage issues made of nightmares.

I ended up inquiring with the county, which ended up basically not doing anything. Except telling me that I could not reroute the new water flow accordingly. Mind you, there was no water "flow" to begin with.

What I plan on doing now is gauge this new water flow and ditching a wider track for a few thousand feet, since it runs through my hay fields.

Kind of cool this morning 46*, we got a couple of showers yesterday afternoon about 3/10 of inch. Today is going to be partly cloudy with a 20% chance of showers and the high in the mid 80's.

Not sure what kind of hummingbirds we have here. One of them shows up in the spring and the other one shows up about this time of year. The ones that shows up late are more aggressive ones. I know that there are over 300 different species of hummingbirds.

We are making a trip to town this morning, I'll see if I can find some bigger feeders why we are there.

Hope everyone has a good start to the week.
CWB.

Although expensive how about culverts to move the water. When I moved where we are now I put in over 350 foot of 15 to 18 in culvert no more water problems
