Good morning, the low is 39 and going to a high of only 41°F. Wind SSW 15 mph. 40% chance of showers.
The promised rain came last evening. Not much, just enough to dampen things a bit.

Today is an energy conservation day, in preparation for tomorrows dump/town run.


Have a safe day all

The adds are making page loading stutter, there are so many.

Talked to my father last night, plumbers were there working on pipes.
My dad said they were rusty and needed replacement.
not sure how copper rusts, so just hoping this wasn't a repair gone wild.

Ron, got a good laugh from the squirrel pic, hope that limb doesn’t break. Guess it pays to clean up, you find things.
42° and light rain.
Son found his way back to work, that’s good. His biggest complaint last night was “8 hours is a long time”. My answer was “so is doing it for 40 years”. And the hour drive each way.
I woke up about 2 am, but eventually got more sleep, to be awakened by a phone call.
Probably scan more pictures. Also need to order photo boxes to keep them in. The old albums are falling apart.

Be sure to point out that AFTER the good job comes RETIREMENT where you can sit around and file old photos or whatever.

For those getting to many Ad’s. Look at switching to Duck Duck Go for your browser. I very seldom get AD’s.

Good Morning,
Ct,39 to start going to 58 ! Cloudy with misty conditions!

Good Morning
It’s 42° with a high touching 50 under an overcast sky with rain likely later on.

Yesterday was a typical day here with lots of small tasks consuming the day. I did take the Lazer for spin, mowed the area behind the patio, fortunately, everything worked as it should, so no additional chores.

Grandson and DIL walked up to visit, Son is in Kansas for training. I cooked dinner on the grill.
Spent some time on the computer doing “paperwork”, the FAA locked me out of a site that I needed to access because my password expired, that took a couple of phone calls to resolve.

Today I’ve got to install the grills on the speakers as soon as UPS delivers them, someone is driving up from the DC area to pick one up.
Going to run a few errands prior to that, but nothing significant planned.

36F misting rain now afternoon more steady mid 40's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...all outside puttering cancel due to weather trip to town couple stops for the Mrs.,other than that

Enjoy your day all.

May surgery be quick and recovery even quicker Mostly.

Good morning! 46˚F cloudy, heading to 70˚ as the N wind changes to the S.
The pollen was quenched Monday morning with a .8" rain. It should be dry enough today to do a few chores with the JD tractor at the gardens.
The trees and grass are really greening up this last week.
No frost in the 10 day forecast, I hope we have escaped the usual Easter time's last frost of Spring.

Hang in there Mostly.

I was thinking squirrel was giving me the look “you taking my picture again“.

good morning, 45 going to 51 rain stopped

Our geese couple is back for the summer so spring is coming

Scheduled the windshield replacement. Mobile service. Has rain wiper and heated windshield options

Good morning. We may be having Dogwood winter/ Easter cold snap. Overnight low was 34°.

After 30 years the 1 HP well pump in our 4" well died and we replaced the 33 year old bladder tank . We seem to have had some inflation over the last three decades Well maintenance cost over the last 30 years on average $100 per year so no complaints there.

Next week I am to get the lens in the left eye removed and replaced.

Got a new 30 year roof last year and will replace most of the appliances this spring along with a hot water heater before my son moves off.

How time flies when one is having fun.

 

[scootr]

Got some mowing done yesterday afternoon, more rain coming this weekend. Grasses and weeds are growing fast. Guaranteed seat time. April 15 on the horizon

 

[txdon]

Good morning

Weather still "neutral" here. Heavy reins in forecast

Didnt check in here for a week. A lot happened. I would say - almost everything with "+"

Helogabals, I just found out I have a 4th cousin in Riga, Latvia. Is that anywhere near you? Last name is Solovjovs.

45F, damp, and partly cloudy @ 11:15, heading up to around 48F for the high.

Woman picked up a nice-looking cluster of tomatoes at the grocery the other day, made BLT's yesterday afternoon. I had a couple of those and after that decided to have a little nap ...

Got up around 22:00 and got house plants all watered, hibiscus, amaryllis, and banana tree all doing well.

Woman's elephant ear seems to have an issue where it puts out new leaves which then don't last all that long (couple of days) and proceed to shrivel up and die. Woman says She read it might just be a bad bulb. Soil seemed very dry yesterday when I went to water it so I will monitor it a little closer.

Also got a flat of tomato seeds planted. Total of 48 holes, 2 seeds per hole:

12 holes of Bush Beefsteak (determinate, bush type)

12 holes of Sunny Boy (determinate, bush type, yellow)

12 holes of Crimson Cushion Beefsteak (indeterminate, vining type)

12 holes of Climbing Trip-L-Crop (indeterminate, vining type)

Be interesting to see how many actually germinate (seeds were all packed for the 2022 growing season)

I think I may still have almost as many seeds left as I have planted.

Nothing close to the 200 tomato plants like we had back in the day, but should be more than enough for our needs.

May end up growing the bush types in containers and probably grow the vining types on the cattle panel trellis where they can spread out.

Speaking of which, TSC has cattle panels on sale right now, so I'm probably going to head down there in the next few days and pick up at least one more to complete that one row where we already have two panels.

Ended working out in the garage until about 08:00 this morning.

Did get back to working on the mahogany Forstner bit holder I started last year. Had to glue another section on the bottom of that Monday to make it a little taller. Got it all drilled out - using the Forstner bits - except for one bit whose shank was odd-sized. Had to use a regular twist drill on that hole. Still working on cleaning that hole up with sand paper.

Cleaned up the last of the Lamb Vindaloo when I came in.

About time for another nap.

Hope everyone is having a decent Wednesday ...

I scored some fine tractor pics this morning.
met neighboring farm owner in grocery store this morning, he invited me over for a tour of his farm,
which he mostly rents out to a real farmer with a CSA there. Mostly old JD tractors, nothing fancy about this place.
No new Kubotas here...
so we went all around his 65 acre place including the tree line where the drainage ditch ends, the creator
of Lake Drew. We both agreed that cleaning out my ditch would not help until other four property owners cleaned out their rear
ditch also. Likelihood of that happening is poor.

the Cub has a nifty modern cultivator on it. The 544 Hydro is apparently not a runner and they would love someone to take it.
Hmmmmm
no room for what I have now. Sigh.

 

[sodamo]

65°F and .01 inches rain.

Another decent day of cleanup in office and another trip to transfer station. With somewhat mixed feelings I packed up all my flight training books and material to leave at the Give n Take with the hope that someone out that enjoys them. The reality being my seat time is on a tractor.

No word on status of either my LS or Scag.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Tractor of the week # 36 544

The 544 is one of the IH models that I never remember seeing at our dealer as a kid or even much later. I do not believe I have ever known a farm with one. They seemed to be a bit scarce around the country. Every farm had a Farmall H or M for smaller tractors so maybe the 544 was simply bypassed ...

I wish I had time/money to work on that 544, very cool tractor.
