Good Morning
46° and a clear sky. High of 60 and continued sun today.

Yesterday we got everything seeded and straw mulched, and set up sprinklers, because there isn’t any rain in the forecast. I would really like to get some grass growing so that I don’t have a sea of mud over the winter.
Seeded and closed off the construction entrance, that makes it seem like the end really is in sight. Having the final and occupancy inspection scheduled for Wednesday helps that feeling as well.

I got most of the construction debris cleaned up, just getting the finishing touches on the exterior. Put all the door hardware on inside, the painters are working on the walls, all the woodwork is stained and varnished.
I didn’t get any new pictures for show and tell, I stayed busy all day.

Today will start with breakfast with the professor, then we have to get a document notarized for the township, we’ll do an Amazon return while we are in town and drop our ballots off at the courthouse.

53 going to 65.

Wow, snow on Thomas' mountain and frost on Ron's roof...it's getting cold in some parts of our world. We are supposed to see 30's tonight.

RS, good to hear your wife is better. Real nice looking peppers. I'd love to try them. We had a pretty good harvest this year, but nothing like that.

Changed the oil and filter on the zero yesterday. Decided to change the oil on the mower gear box while I was at it.

10 10 today. Anybody remember CB radio code? I'm sure L4N does.

10 - 4, I'm 10-8 Going for a 10-23 before I have a 10-100.
I understand that originally the ten code was designed for emergency services, primarily the cops. Then CBers took it over.

Good Morning,
Vt, 35 to start going to 49 ! We had quite a good amount of rain last night and Kathleen and I stood on our porch with our accent lights on watching it come down ! We originally were going to have a campfire but between the cold and then the rain we settled for some porch time watching the rain !

Don and Drew, the lasagna looks amazing, I’m sure it’s gone by now ! You guys broke a cardinal rule ! No glass in the hot tub ! Of course, rules are made to be broken, and I do the same thing ! Don that hot tub looks amazing !
Glad you guys had a good visit ! Don, I didn’t know you had a need for a tractor that big now !

Buppies, hoping you get more sleep soon !

RS good to hear wife is making progress !

Wngsprd, yep the cold for you will be coming soon, enjoy the warmth while it lasts !

Frits, sounds like your making progress!
Let us all know how you move ahead on this project !

I would really like to get some grass growing so that I don’t have a sea of mud over the winter.

Paul, thanks for compliment! Project is coming along slow but sure !
I think you may just make it on the grass, I think the heavy amount of mulch is the key to keep the found warm and of course the watering is on you !

Packing up today, need to work tomorrow! Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

Good Morning!!!! 53F @ 5:15AM back in Orcutt. Foggy this morning, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High 72F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Pretty smooth trip south yesterday, with only minor slowing trying to get through Sacramento. I think leaving at 8:30 AM gave traffic a little more time to clear. I also kept much more distance in front of me, which of course was almost instantly filled, but I just kept slowing down to keep that cushion out there. No emergency stops needed, but still had people cutting in front crazy close.

Stopped midway to call back another container inquiry. Another guy with a rough driveway, no clue as to who might be able to move the container, or if it would even be possible to get it where he wanted. You would think people would make some calls and decide for themselves if a 40' container would fit on their property BEFORE answering an ad selling the container. Common sense isn't so common these days I guess.

Two more pallets of firewood to unload today, and brought down four old wooden pallets to lay down underneath it. They'll probably need to be trimmed a bit first. Only one or two boxes to unload on this trip, but finding space in the right spot is getting pretty tough. Just need to find time to cut some more plywood for shelving up in the mezzanine. Not sure what else I'll get into today, but there are lots of choices.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'...

10102020 was a popular wedding day, it’s my nephews anniversary. My niece also got married that day but I hear it didn’t work out.
Last week was CB day. 10-4.

Drew and Don ,
What a tough job testing the water temp, but someone had to do it.

 

[riptides]

49 outside today. Mid 70's.

Got back from job trip, took a few detours and wife along the way. Now looking for new job, brought covid back from out west. Hit wife pretty hard, multiple hospital visits. In rest mode now a daze.
FIL fading fast, went to see yesterday. Bad times for sure.

BIL have not heard from yet. Waiting to hear about hurricane, directly over his house. Wife here, he rode it out with elderly neighbors who refused to evac.

So much stress right now.

Today is a new day.

Morning all, 47 going to 63 and sunny.
Got outside GFI outlet fixed, rusted screw breaking slowed the whole thing down.
Surprised the GFI outlet itself went, new one works fine.
Did not get much else done before darkness, this day job takes too much time.

Told we should be able to see aurora tonight, we will try to find a place where we can look north.
We have too many trees and neighbor down the hill has too many lights on.

Went and picked up meds, coffee and some veggies. $140, ouch.

Rip - good to see you back, sorry about the side dramas, prayers sent.

Be well,

The only northern lights I saw last night were my neighbors at 10pm

Drew and Don ,
What a tough job testing the water temp, but someone had to do it.

The spa temp was 100˚ pool temp was 82˚ beer 45˚. Spa temp this morning is 80˚ but the pool water is circulating in it. When the heater is on the spa does not overflow into the pool so there can be a 20˚ temp difference.

Good morning! 56˚ here in the valley, but out of the flood, plane it s a chilly 56˚ heading for a high of 93˚ with no clouds in the sky and drew forgot to bring the rain. Drew's campground is on a hill and does not get the morning cold sinking air.
Drew, bring your Tupperware.
Another day of adventures with Drew. . . .

 

[daugen]

am headed out to see if drone will fly here
nicest time of the day, the coolest

 

[LouNY]

Morning to all,
41F heading to 55, weather is forecast 34F tonight some frost warnings out. I don't expect any here, it usually gets the low ground a few times before it gets to me.
Have a viewing to go to this afternoon with a service tomorrow afternoon, my wifes daughter in laws father.
Should be able to get over to my brothers and finish the welding for him late this morning.
Some days I just don't feel like going for the grocery shopping, so Hannaford Supermarkets has a delivery service. Ordered yesterday delivery this morning between 10AM an 11AM, then see about going over with the tractor and getting that pesky welding job done.
Looking at the 10 day forecast may have to do a bit of heating in the house, most days in the 50's nights in the upper 30's till next Tuesday then it may be time for a light freeze. Guess that means it's time to get some stuff moved down to the basement for the winter and other stuff winterized, flush out the sprayer and run some RV anti freeze through it and the pressure washer.

Stay well and safe

Too much information, but when Rigby goes outside to "do his business" we add it up. After he comes back in, my wife will ask: "what did he do?"

Answer- #3 (#1 and #2.)

High score so far (single trip) is a 5.

Good morning! Low of 43°, going up to 80° again.... and for the rest of the week. We are forecasted to drop to 35° overnight on Tuesday, so the cooler temps aren't too far off.

Apparently, I had procrastinated on cleaning the pellet stove long enough that it still needs to be done 6 months later..... I'm guessing that it it will get done within the next few days.

Wifey's back is still giving her pain, to the point that she finally said "maybe I should get it checked" last night..... but that concept may have disappeared overnight.... some pushback already this morning....
There is a long backstory to why she doesn't want to get checked. A quick summary: on 2 separate procedures, she was given morphine, which she is highly allergic to. Both times, she nearly died.
All this while having the allergy documented and wearing a red allergy band. (Which was miraculously removed at some point). So, I don't blame her......

Scott, chairs are looking great.... another step nearing completion!

Paul, both planes were the 2.1 meter version. I still can't believe how short the takeoff is! They really float too!

Drew, another segment of "Drew's great adventure" underway. Enjoy that spa!

RIP, sorry to read of all your troubles. Seems they come all at once. Hang in there!

Fritz, can you overnight that plate to me? Looks absolutely delicious!
That beam might be a bit tough to sandwich, can a steel angle fit on one side? An angle will still provide enough strength.

Ron, there is a fungus among us! (Sorry, couldn't resist). That is really neat looking. I wonder if any critters eat it?

No FB for me anymore..... got hacked twice, don't know how, but one was my EMS account.... that was interesting explaining to the bosses....
At that point I deleted both accounts. Only social media now is TBN.

Everyone have a great day!

 

[buckeyefarmer]

so glad I got the pellet stove cleaned, and fixed last spring when I had to replace the combustion motor.
Off to town to get some more GRK wood screws.

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning Ted,

Scott, chairs are looking great.... another step nearing completion!

Thanks Ted,
Next time up I will get some work in on the arms !

 

[riptides]

Wife just cancelled our refrigerator on back order two months.

Need to start that process up again. Been living with a dorm type frig in the main house since August.
I have another dorm type frig just for beers, also in the main house. I ain't stupid.

The hurricanes will make the appliances even harder to come by now, I am sure.

Still no comms from BIL. Have some friends doing fly overs and expect to hear from them in a few.

All flights into FLA have been rescheduled again for us. Now we are looking at Monday, possibly.

Clip and a snip to start the day.
