Sassy has that look...you will respect my authority.
It’s a game. Tree is about 50’ from from back door. Squirrel stands about 10’ from tree when it hears/sees me letting Sassy out. Stands there waiting for Sassy to see it. Sassy starts running toward it. Most of the time squirrel goes about 3‘ up tree and looks down on Sassy. I think it is laughing at her.

Had a nice burger in Waimea. Got delayed about half hour or so due to a mud slide in one of the gulches about half hour from home and still raining when I got home. All in all took about 7 hours
Been raining steadily, 2.64 inches.
glad you got it delivered

We Had a good meal in Waimea

46 going to 68. Another fine spring day. I always call this John 3:16 day.

Buppies, glad your doctor gave you a good report. If you have to do the mowing, at least you have a nice zero turn. Hope you caught up on sleep.

Thomas, looks like Boo is still growing.

m70, great old barn!

Also, looks like Sassy is thinking, "How do you get up there?"

Had a good day with my wife yesterday, grocery shopping and Tex-Mex, after getting back from a 3-day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. Met some nice people and now friends. Buppies, I was in your part of the state, but no extra time to visit. Still planning to bring wife back soon to climb Dragon's Tooth and will try to connect.

good morning all
should be a nice sunny day in the low 60's today though weather is turning colder over next week
all normal

David, good that the boss has her own tractor while yours is in the shop.
if you're nice I bet she'll let you drive it.
will be interesting to see what is matter with your LS.
A tech fixing tractors in Paradise, what a job.

part of back lawn is six inches tall in super thick lush deep green grass.
the rest of my lawn is mutt weeds. The area that is so lush is also where the water drains through
but we have no lack of water here, for context.
I have woods right behind me, and all the neighbors somewhat above me live in deep woods without lawns or gardens.
So.....no lawn chemicals or whatever washing down my way.
plus it's 100 percent lawn there, was this way last year, as if someone had dumped an entire bag of weed and feed there.
not me. Not one weed.
I have a little botanical mystery.
I'll take a pic of it today.

if the rest of my lawn looked like that one area, I'd be mowing every two days.
reminds me I have to check the blade on my electric trimmer mower. Very pleased with it, cheap, works, lightweight
which is huge for me. Lives up to its name of Greenworks.

Using a weedeater very hard on my body so actually easier for me to push a small mower to do trimming.
like being in supermarket easier to hold onto grocery cart handles. Part of age I guess.

you guys and your steps are brutal. When I get to the 4000 step level I've got shooting pains down my legs. Just can't do that much
walking. No question I'm walking less, phone nags me saying you are walking less this year, on average, than last year.
that's what happens when things hurt too much, when it's just no fun no matter how nice it is outside.
The alternative is a really big back operation. So I'm trying to delay as much as possible.
and that means sitting down more. I clearly don't get any credit for idling time...

hmmm. If I could get credit for keystrokes towards steps. (y)

Good morning,
34° now highs in the low 50’s and cloudy today. No wind.

Missed a whole day yesterday, errands/groceries/getting ready for a dump run this morning may try to get caught up today!

Although according to the old farmers almanac-

“TODAY IS THE BEST DAY TO…
Today Is The Best Day To Do Nothing, Rest Up, Take A Nap, Enjoy!”

I think I will follow this advice 😊

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

30F heavy fog upper 40's for high cloudy day.
Thomas, not much different than you !

Wngsprd, beautiful pics to start our Saturday!! Thank you !

No shop time yesterday, cleaning up the tree took longer than expected and then Kathleen had me go to the store before the kiddos arrived ! 😉

Enjoying cup of coffee in front of the stove as the grands spread toys over entire floor ! 😂

Hope all have a blessed and safe day ! 🙏

Good morning! 60˚F heading to 65˚F, Cloudy, NE wind, 10% chance of rain increasing to 55% this afternoon. I might run out to the gardens and see if any tractor work is needed and check on and weed the potatoes.

I need to find an 8" - 1' height folding aluminum platform to stand on so I can clean the middle of the truck's windshield, instead of dragging out the 4' step ladder.

Bupps, hope you got some sleep.

Billy, beautiful pics. Glad you had a 3 day outing with safe travels. I like the John 3:16 note. Question, on your middle picture, someone clear cut a big section of the land. Fire safety? Motocross track? Who knows?

PopGadget, cool tool. Zoe could herd those alpacas for you.

Ron, great pic and story of the squirrel chasing.

Long, successful day.
Tractor rode very well on trailer. Rained pretty much half the way over. Never went over 50 and took a hit in the gas mileage department. Topped off at Costco after dropping tractor.
Good conversation with the dealer tech. He confirmed my suspicions. Being a fairly new product line for the dealership he said most of the tractors worked on were a learning experience. He’ll likely start looking at mine Monday.

Had a nice burger in Waimea. Got delayed about half hour or so due to a mud slide in one of the gulches about half hour from home and still raining when I got home. All in all took about 7 hours
Been raining steadily, 2.64 inches.
Glad you had a safe trip. Hope they figure out your tractor's issue. Count me in as 1 interested in what ends up being the problem with your other mower you took in.

Trip with boys went great. All were great kids. Their talk went from video game strategies, to science facts and trivia. My pastor buddy (one of the boy's dad) rode along with me. We have had a great friendship for about 14 years now. Good conversation. A lot of talk of the real state of our Union. The trampoline park went well. Came home and had Reba's gourmet pizza. Then had a DQ ice cream cake, which helped cool off the jalapenos from the sampler pizza.

Need to get back on the tufftorq k46 tranny job. The problem I have is, I can't really see any major problems. Hopefully cleaning out the filters and using fresh Mobil 1 10w-50 will get it back going.

Have a mouse in the house. Time to set some traps.... One must have made it through my cat's gauntlet.

Coffee was good. We only got a smidge of rain yesterday, more possible today. hit or miss. 64F right now.

Helogabals, glad business is picking up. I believe your daughter got best deal of the car dealings. Hope she is still healing from traumatic event. Hope new car works good.

Prayers for our team, our nation, ****** and Ukraine.

Likely just a private landowner selling his timber, and the logging road/skidder path. It will regrow fast and be great wildlife habitat, but doesn't look pretty right now.

Glad you guys had a good trampoline outing.

Low 40's going to maybe low 50's. Don't think so.

Had my weekly breakfast with my dad this AM. Gonna wire in some LED lights on the mini x and wife wants to run into grand rapids tonight for our friends sons state hockey game. My daughter played on same team before with him.

Side note: his team was originally the "the bad news bears" team. All the misfits that no other team really wanted. They are killing it this year. Definitely proved everyone wrong. The cool kid team sucked.

filled up propane at 3.99
filled up car w/premium at 4.19
just seems like it should be 50 cents a gallon cheaper

headed out to wash the rv
then hopefully a nap this afternoon and dinner out at friend's home
for Irish stew.

another mouse for me in rv, let's see what catch of the day is

Yeah fuel should be cheaper. Could be but whatever.

Yesterday morning went to work. Gas was 3.49/gal and diesel at 3.75/gal.

Came home and gas was 3.75 and diesel was 4.25

Didn't even see what premium cost.
