The foundation of an old fire tower has been converted into a shelter and viewing platform on top.

Great views of Luray and Shenandoah Natl Park and river.

Saw no one on the trail all day, except this guy...

Still a little snow on the north face of the mountain.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

22.1F going to upper 50s, mostly sunny day forecasted.

Senior dog Bailey celebrated her 9th trip around the fireball yesterday - she got a half-dozen slices of good bacon instead of cake!

A fire alarm got tripped by a contractor at work yesterday, my immediate reaction, from years of being a fire marshal while at my county job, was to stand up and immediately and loudly state “EVERYBODY OUT” and start moving to the nearest door and see half the people in spruce room just keep working…

the Rest of us left. People are stupid.

apparently, the other workroom on the other side of the building never vacated at all. . .

SMH

Time for more coffee, then off to the grind again...

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe blessed day!

Seems too many folks are under the weather right now. I wish you all better health and a speedy recovery!

25F going to 48F today in Beautiful Northern Nevada. With recent storms we are close to an average winter. So, plenty of summer water for recreation and agriculture.

We miss our dog terribly. A new pup won't bring him back-- but we are looking. Golden Retriever pups from top breeders often include training for waterfowl hunting. Our CA property is ideal for waterfowl hunting-- I am considering trying that. I've never hunted before, so I have a lot to learn if I try.

Everyone please have a great day out there today!!

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 4:00AM. Rain showers this morning with some sunshine during the afternoon hours. High 62F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
The weather has already made good on the forecast. I was awakened about an hour ago by rain pounding on the roof. Yesterday's forecast for today was dry.

Beautiful views, Billy. Hope you're not sore this morning.

Speaking of roofs, I found about a half dozen fasteners missing on the plastic roof sheeting covering the front porch yesterday. I have a pile of the right screws up north, but had to hit HD for some to make the repair. While there I picked up a new medicine cabinet for the master bathroom here (POs just had a mirror on the wall). Tried to get some melamine shelving, but they were out. The roofing was an easy repair, but the medicine cabinet was heavy enough to be a challenge.

Today is supposed to be garbage day, but none of the neighbors put their cans out. Waste Managment's website sez pickup will not be delayed due to the President's Day holiday. I don't know what to think, but I'll put my cans out this morning just in case.

Hot tub repair man is supposed to show up at 10AM. Not sure what else I'll get up to.

Happy Hump Day, folks...

good morning all
should be a nice sunny day here in Milton DE

had a nice dinner in Rehobeth at long standing restaurant that has prime rib special for 20 bucks every Monday night. Tuesday night are burgers for 8 bucks. They keep very busy, even off season.
Prime rib a little fatty but good.

my friends and I sat in front of this laptop for several hours yesterday reviewing my route, and I took a lot of notes.
one change will be that I want to go up the Mississippi River from St Louis for awhile, not just go straight West.
We also talked a lot about the Badlands and what to see/where to go. Found a nice route with lots of scenic overlooks.

looks like several folks sure need to feel better.

well I learned something this morning, folks like to have a rusty look building? never would have thought that.

enjoying cup of coffee and home made muffin.
back is not good, ever since I shoveled that snow, some pains down legs, not a good indicator. I'm trying to be "good" and hopefully this too shall pass.
part of problem is my friend's guest bedroom has a super soft mattress I'm just not used to. Not like I'm going to complain...

have a great day gentlemen.
will have a nice breakfast here with some gourmet food my friends will make, they always do something worthy of Bon Appetit. They simply love complex recipes, total opposite of me, I just wing it

after breakfast heading home, about three hours, and hope everything is alive in greenhouse. 20 degrees there this morning, if heater not working, will be a wake when I get home

Good morning! 61˚F heading to the mid 70s, South wind partly cloudy skies.

Yesterdays first day of Shoulder PT went well, not sore today, but it was a little unnerving as BOE (Brother of Egor) rotated my shoulder and there was a loud click every 5˚. It wasn't painful it just felt like I was a come-a-long winding up clicking away.

My ALS presentation consisted of a few new signs which I had to finger spell, but the class figured it out - the story on planting potatoes.

Today is one of the warmer days this winter so we are going on a hike in the new park that I have been working on since 2019 - River Ranch. This will be the first time my wife has been there and I can show her all the trails I worked on. It will be interesting to see if any of the cedars grew back. There are no flowers blooming, still too early, but since it is such a warm day the rattlesnakes will be out, maybe I can get a pic.

D's next trip is to Colombia. Not very safe for sure with State department warnings about travel.
Had work there years ago. Gilberto local hire was subject to truck bomb explosion but survived. Good man moved him up to a project in Mexico.
She had a couple of fund raising trips in the past to Honduras for malnutrition and starvation of children. Not very safe either

Morning all, 25 going to 44 and cloudy.
Spent a few hours assembling bed frame yesterday, only to find out one of the core pieces was not delivered.
Ikea is refunding shipping costs and wife will pick up part later today. Good service on the phone, looks like it was somewhere on the delivery truck.
Without that piece could not put in slats/mattress.
Today build out drawers and start headrest.
Son did help on build until he had to leave for band rehearsal.

Since they is a window on that wall, will need to make a frame to mount the bookshelf part of the headrest. Since this will be behind the headrest, probably just 2x4s which can later be unmounted from the wall.

No Skoda here Helo, never seem to have made it across the pond.

Prayers sent Buppies.

Be well,

61°F and .02 inches rain.

Sophie wanted to run the gas fireplace yesterday morning, not something we do often. Good Pilot but main burner didn’t light., unless I fiddled with the control box. New box on order.

Got most of the fuel lines replaced on the Scag. The fuel pump ports are oriented differently resulting in sharper bends. I may just clean up and use the old pump.

Rebuilt starter ready to be picked up.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Dated and labeled 3 months of pictures, all caught up to the start of the Hawaii trip, will start on those soon.
