Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

68°F and .04 inches rain.

Back to being empty nesters. Our Canadian friends, cottage tenants are on their way home, to return in the fall.

I’ll be spending the afternoon in dentist chair. Expect to leave with a temporary crown and a replaced filling. Filling installed about 1980, plenty of service life left, but dentist says that material no longer suitable.

I’ll walk over and join the Happy Hour group after. Won’t be able to eat, but maybe sip a beer.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Best of luck at dentist, Drew

Glad the light at end of tunnel getting brighter for you SC.

Went for a ride to WV today. was in sunshine, then rain, then sun, then rain, then sun, then downpour of rain, then sun..
Was following Waze directions to one place, decent paved road at first, then gravel road, still in great shape, then turn off on another road that wasn't as nice, and came to a river crossing where the road goes thru the river. With the water being up some and running pretty swift, and not another soul around, decided to not drive across. So we made about a 20+ mile detour to go around to the other side. And was disappointed.
Ate lunch at a place we had been to before, and it was very crowded then. today, not so crowded, but it was after 1pm. Food very good again.

David, your crown/filling was "no longer suitable" because your dentist didn't do the work/make anything off it.
I say if it aint broke, don't fix it.

 

[Looking4new]

BEF, that road looks more like a farm lane.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.2C and it's presently 19.7C, partly cloudy & fairly calm.

Just 'tootling along', nothing pressing is going on. Perhaps that's why, on Facebook, I've been getting submissions from the "Dull Men's Club"

That's about it, take care all.

(Dull is good.)

The Amaryllis Apple Blossom flowers bloomed today.
Won 3 of 5 Hand and Foot games.
3 days after PT my shoulder feels ok, too bad I have to work on it an hour to feel good three days later and then it slowly goes back to barely tolerable.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 44° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 68° with sun and a few clouds. Renewed my drivers licenses. Took a while to navigate the DMV's site. Got it done. After I got out to barn decided to do JD instead of tractor. Sharpened blades and gave it a good wash job. Then lubed all the grease fitting. Took around yard and mowed all the high spots in yard. Should get mower tractor ready to go for today.

Everyone stay safe and well

Good Morning All.

 

[ronjhall]

Drew, good to hear the troubling tooth has been removed. Hope recovery is going good.

 

[Thomas]

32F clear sky mid 50's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
15 deer feeding in front field around sunset,several vesicles stop to watch and take pictures Boo was not impress.

Plans for today...8 hours at part store afterwards

Enjoy your day all.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 30 and going to a high of 52°F. Wind N 2 mph. Mainly sunny.

I changed up the routine, a dump run today and town too. Need ten more bags of cement, a 7/16" drill bit and 6' of 7/16" threaded rod along with 12 flat washers and nuts. If I have to I will use 1/2" instead.
Gotta get a new 25' garden hose and nozzle.

After this work is done I need to wash the tractor. The hoe needs a good bath and grease.

That is my day planned out for me.

Have a safe day all

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Not sure what I’ll get into today, maybe clean out part of garden. This old guy wasn’t liking us intruding.

 

[riptides]

65 outside right now. Heading to lower 70's. Ran into and through a hail storm yesterday while on the road. Yikes. Talk about loud. Eyeballed the wife's truck and we escaped damage. Trees and bushes got clean up, a lot. Lots of sticks around for the burn pile.

Another road trip on the agenda today. Not much else.

Hope all have a great day, be safe.

 

[scaredychicken]

love that photo BEF ... lots of turtles in this area also ... they even have road signs made

mostly_ thanks for your notes, they keep me in the loop

i'm glad that i finally got my Deposit money back on that tractor in the Market Place listing. Described as a 1991 Case B10 (umm ? ... doesn't exist) turned out to be a 1958-59 Case 610B when I got there ... not even close to expectations, but seller made good on refund. i gave him a $10 Tim Horton's gift card as a Thank You for his integrity, and that gesture overwhelmed him - now i have a "friend" who will help me find other stuff as I need them ... tire chains, rear blade, or whatever else

Have a good day everyone. I need another nap, it's way too early even for roosters

Good Morning,
Ct, 44 to start going to 67 ! Yesterday was well into the 70’s, but a bit cooler today !

Back to urologist this morning, I have improved quite a bit, I have gone from getting up multiple times during the night to just once ! Usually can make it 5 hours before I need to get up ! I have been drinking a lot more water during the day with a splash of cranberry juice ! Should be interesting to see what they say this morning!

Bill, I saw the tank picture you posted, looks well built and heavy duty ! Good luck with the install!

Took around yard and mowed all the high spots in yard. Should get mower tractor ready to go for today.

Ron, I did same thing yesterday with the weed eater, lawn not quite high enough for a full mow job yet !

Will try to get a long walk in before appointment this morning then more work on pool and yard.

Drew, glad extraction went well !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

good morning all
Scaredy, always good to hear from you.
good outcome on the tractor.

Ron and Scott, thanks. Trying to be very careful with what I eat, maybe I'll lose a few needed pounds...
but it's starting to throb so I might indulge in a little white pill this morning. At least it's on top.

I got a lot of gardening done yesterday, going to try to chill more today. House is a mess, need to clean living room and get all the
planting supplies out of it. Then a very careful vacuum to get the bugs out. Little black ants came in with one of the trays that previously had
potting soil left in it. Ants must have nested in it. I sprayed mint oil and that seemed to help.

The two willow shrubs I planted in the back will be fully underwater next time Lake Drew comes up. Will be a real testimony to a willow's
ability to not overdrink when so much water available. Unlike a tomato, or a melon that will drink til it bursts.
Willow tree is doing great, having survived the first deer attack which almost girdled it.
Now they are all armored with stakes and plastic netting. Which is really ugly, would rather just have the plants, but....
without a fenced property, it's all food for the deer.
remembering that last year one very angry deer stomped two of the willow bushes into literal bits.
They survived, but are a tiny fraction of when new. I can see eating them, but stomping them?

cooler day today.
I may get motivated and take down the greenhouse.
grass has grown a foot tall inside it, time to put it away. Where I don't know, behind the garage so can't be seen I guess.
I really want to give it away because I'm getting a much better one next.
I wonder if I dragged it to side of road and put FREE on it, would it disappear?

 

[buckeyefarmer]

While driving in a hail storm yesterday, got a call from another insurance guy concerned the payout on the Subaru. They are giving me more than I expected. 6 yo vehicle and I’m getting more than half of what I paid. Think this is the 5th person from the insurance company that has contacted us. My insurance rates will surely skyrocket next year.
So gotta go thru that today, and mail them the title.
Son is healing well, marks gone from the face, scabs coming off on the leg.
If you ever watch Wild Wonderful Offgrid on YouTube, went by their place yesterday. I watch some of their videos, but a little too much drama for me. They have over 1M subscribers.
