Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

41 outside this AM, heading to upper 40's, with rain expected around noon.

SO went by herself yesterday shopping, milestone accomplishment, so I worked on the Milk House. Managed to get the starter strip from the Milk House to the barn, covering the walkway in between. That is cinder block construction so I used concrete screws to get it on. Drill slowly, screw fastly. LOL. Worked around the electric and refrigerant lines, nice. This AM before the rains come, and as soon as I can see, I will go hang some vinyl to start the process of finishing that side.

SO came home with a cabinet that will be repurposed for a sink and a bathroom mirror, but no lights. I told her lights first so I can see in the bathroom, but she has a truck, freedom and purpose. So the truck came back full.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe. Prayers for those in need. A new week starts!

She just wanted an excuse to go out again…

Lowes had a Little Giant 22' ladder on sale. So a trip to there to pick it up was the only thing that got done yesterday.

I’m in the market for a 10 ft step ladder for the church, so I can safely get up into the attic. Has opening in ceiling 2 ft above drop ceiling, so it needs to fit inside ceiling grid. I’m wondering if a little giant might work. Costco had some on sale recently, not sure the size.

Good Morning
It’s 35 with a high in the upper 40’s today. High overcast now, supposed to become partly sunny later.

Yesterday was a lazy day, 3 carloads came for farm tours with my wife, had a few visitors myself, but never left the property. Zoe kept me entertained most of the day.

Today might be a repeat, nothing planned other than some cleanup, might run a few network cables to take advantage the gigabit and fast Ethernet switches by properly cascading them.

I prefer fiberglass ladders myself and they are required for working on electrical systems were OSHA is involved,
they are a bit heavier then aluminum ones.
Also I suggest watching out for the load ratings and thinking who else may try and use a ladder;
Here is a quick recap of duty ratings and load capacities:
Type III (Light Duty) 200 pounds
Type II (Medium Duty) 225 pounds
Type l (Heavy Duty) 250 pounds
Type lA (Extra Heavy Duty) 300 pounds
Type lAA (Extra Heavy Duty) 375 pounds

This is the one I bought at Lowe’s. I check width at top of ladder. Including knobs. 19”. Actual hight is 9.5’ as a step ladder.

Where is that wngsprd? It's nice but looks too cold for a splash.

Easy hike...Dark Hollow Falls, near Big Meadows. Further down is Rose River Falls.

Did you see Korner's Folly?

During school, my roommate was from Kernersville. Nice town.

 

[Buppies]

No sir never heard of it what is it?

 

[Buppies]

RNG, do you have a range setup? Nothing like multiple gun shots going off to deter any airBnB from becoming 'unsuccessful'.... especially at all different times

I do. Remember the fiasco when I used the range last July 4th, and was harassed by the neighbor all day because "it is scaring my kids"? The same neighbor that shoots off his guns after dark when I'm listening to music on the back porch? I'm not going to miss that neighbor much.

Good morning to everyone,
It was 42F when I got up this morning under sunny skies, after an overnight low of 37. Forecast high of 53, light winds and skies clouding up this afternoon with rain this evening and Monday morning.

Yesterday ended up being an energy conservation day. Did some reading, a little research on the internet and a couple of short walks (1/2 mile) with the pup.

Today is looking to be a repeat.

Have a good day, let's be careful out there.

... and his drone idiocy as well, RNG.

29°F and cloudy this morning, and it looks like it's going to stay around there all day. We've settled into some "normal" Winter weather for awhile.

Not much on the plate for today. Was going to erect the fence, but did that yesterday. Maybe pick up a new battery and get that in the tractor.

Great pics, everyone. Love the waterfalls, wngsprd.

Good morning, gents.

Good Morning!!!! 44F @ 6:15AM. Cloudy. Periods of rain this morning. High 51F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch.
Radar says it's supposed to be raining, but there's been no accumulation. Anemometer went out on the Davis last week, and they got a replacement to me in a few days, but just haven't had time to fool with it.

Thanks for the heads up on the Solomans, Billy. I had a great pair of their water shoes, but just wore them out after fifteen or so years. Wish they still made something like them. I finally broke down and picked up a pair of KEEN Ridge Flex Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots at REI last fall. It was an in store purchase, and was the only pair they had that actally felt comfortable. The soles are a little too flexible, and I was feeling every pebble and grain of sand under my feet. Some people like that, but I ended up cutting insoles out of plastic milk jugs to stiffen 'em up a bit. Just one layer now, but I'll probably add another. Great photo!

Sounds like the trip's been worth it, Drew. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous?

Now it's raining out.

Got a few hours in on the touring bike, giving up with sore fingers trying to get the drive shaft bolts in. Gotta be one of my least favorite jobs, but it's only every 25,000 miles. I'm hoping a fresh start today will get it done.

Contractor buddy dropped by with his wife to gift me with a three year old smoked pork hock. It was vacuum packed and looked great. Gonna chunk it up and make beans'n'rice with it.

Got a batch of chili done, using a bottle of adobo from the Mexican food section at the grocery store. Spiced it up with some chipotle peppers and liquid smoke. Thirty minutes of pressure cooking in the InstantPot had the meat falling apart and the rice done perfectly. Had some for lunch, and more for dinner.

Almost finished cleaning up the big wood pile, maybe just a few hours left. I keep digging trees out from under piles of dirt and duff, so it's taking a bit longer than I thought it should. It is what it is, I guess.

It'll be an inside day what with the rain, but it's not expected to amount to much.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.

I have a couple of Little Giant ladders, the 17,22 and 26. Excellent quality and versatile, but waaay too heavy. Much heavier than a fiberglass of the same size, which would be my suggestion for any specific use.
The Little Giant let’s you put and 11ft step ladder in a hatchback and will make a pair of trestles for a plank, etc, but as a single purpose step ladder that stays on site, not my first choice.

Multi use is why I got it. Plus it fits in my car and Mule.
