Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 73F @ 5:15AM. Plentiful sunshine. High near 105F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

It must be a wonderful feeling to see all those propane lines hooked up and working, David. Now you can really relax on the upcoming vacation!:cloud9:

I think I got all the old drip lines pulled out of the ground yesterday; there sure was a big pile of them, like black snakes everywhere. Took a peek in the valve boxes and found them almost completely covered in silt, so spent some quality time on hands and knees scooping the stuff out. Turned off all the manual valves, then opened the main valve to the sprinkler system, and was more than a little dismayed when the water didn't stop running. Shortly after I returned home after the fire evacuation, I remember the front planter flooding, so that's where I'll start digging. Like David, I took lots of photos when I dug the trenches, so I sort of know where the lines are buried. But my notes say the trenches are two feet deep, so I anticipate some slow going. And with the temperatures being the way they are, it's gonna take a loooooooong while. May be better off just running another pipe, but a good 30' of it is under the concrete driveway. As good as David's recent jet tunneling tutorial was, I'm pretty sure I don't wanna go that way unless I absolutely have to.

Somethings scratching around in the bookcases this morning, either a mouse or a Mormon Cricket. Time to find the traps and peanut butter, and start watching where I step.:shocked:

Good morning. It's 73°F, calm and 94% humidity this morning. Forecast says we'll see 93°F this afternoon.

We'll be back to pasture mowing today if it's dry enough. The storms, that came thru Sunday night / Monday morning, only left 1" in the gauge so ..... should be ok.

Randy ... check in when you're up to it.

David ... bet you're glad to get near the end of your propane project. Enjoy your cruise.

Mostly ... nice pictures. What is the story with the big egg?

Don .... your making progress, that's what counts. Good luck with your brush clearing.

Last time I ran out of diesel was back in the mid 1990's with a Ford 5000 tractor. I was about as far from the shop as I could be and it was a long walk thru grass that was about 3' high. Then back with a can of diesel. The Ford had a fuel pump lever on the side of the engine so ..... after 2-3 tries it started right up.

Hope everyone has a great "Hump Day Eve".

Prayers to all.

69°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 80° today. More rain expected this afternoon. We must have had some heavy stuff in the wee small hours of the morning, as many fields were flooded when I was leaving for work. Looks like we may get a break Thursday and Friday.

Walking through the living room last evening, I saw a small doe hanging out at the end of the driveway. She slowly made her way up the driveway and back through the open gate into the pasture. Been getting some pics of one on the game camera behind the barn, but they're night shots, so may or may not be the same one. Got some grainy pics this time through two panes of glass with the iPhone at max zoom.



Congrats, David. A job well (and finally) done.

Hope Randy is doing OK.

Welcome to the Good Morning thread, Krissse.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!

Checking in from Anderson, SC, by way of Norfolk, VA and Cape May, NJ. A lot of time on the road; a lot of good eats. Biscuits and gravy for breakfast. I can feel my arteries hardening already.

I need to get caught up with all the shenanigans here in GM. Miss a day here and there are many, many posts to read.

Welcome to all the new posters.

I hope all those on the mend are still mending.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Miss a day here and there are many, many posts to read.

That's no kidding. I frequently don't check in over weekends, and Mondays become speed-reading days.

Hope you are traveling well, Jay.

Paul- My body is not as tolerant of long periods of driving as it once was, but I am still capable. I beat myself up worse staying home, Wifey's Forester got +30mpg. We are eating and drinking well. My only whining is about the heat and humidity.

whooeee it's hot, and my clothes went splat on the laundry room floor.
All showered and debugged, not sure I'm headed out again.

Had a good morning, got veggies delivered including my first green peppers,
took some pics of fruit in the fruit orchard, unlikely many will last due to squirrels but I try,
and then put the disc on, disc'd the potato field, stopped, picked potatoes of which there were almost none (tells me
that machine did a great job) and then disc'd again. Then off came the disc, back on went the finish mower and by then I was a greasy
mess. Amazingly I managed to get the pto collar on the mower by raising the mower up very high and tapping on the coupler with a big hammer,
and lo and behold, with the most satisfying SNICK, it slid right on. Oh happy days.

Jay, I have potatoes for you, and anything else in the garden...stop on by
I have readings from Freud every night at 8pm.

Neighboring farmer planting something, lot of NH blue around here, though JD dominates

"..... fruit in the fruit orchard, unlikely many will last due to squirrels but I try,"- Drew

I consider all the fruit trees and berry bushes around our place as perennial food resources for the native wildlife. It seems to be a good year for the berries weather-wise, my pear flowered pretty well, the apples and peach tree did not like the Spring weather this year.

Carl Jung is more entertaining.

Thanks fro sharing your pictures and activities.

Brogen in solitary at the gulag. He loves this place. The solitary confinement does not seem to bother him.
