Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

69°F and 4.01 inches rain. Yup, been another wet one. Forecast to continue.

Guys were victorious at H&F last night. a close game that gals almost pulled it out.

Buyer of my old golf cart supposed to come this morning to pick up. Lives in Captain Cook area so quite a drive.

Otherwise an inside day, but I can hear the grass getting ready to burst forth once basked with a few hours sunshine.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a blessed day

We made it down to Captain Cook area on our visit, just a brief look...

Had our morning breakfast with the crew today, first time in awhile, since we've been gone a good bit. Very windy today, good wind that should take a lot of leaves.

Fortunately caught this before any damage yesterday

Good Afternoon,
Drew, so I believe the Borscht belt starts around Liberty ! My grand parents farm was just north of there in Livingston Manor, in the Catskills mountains ! When they stopped actively farming they both worked at Grossingers ! I’m sure you remember that name ! Beautiful area really !

Back to work !

38°F and spotty fog this morning, going up to 62° today.

Left to go to a meeting at our other facility this morning, and when I got back at 11:30, I left my jacket in the car. Seems we're getting into those days now, where we have to dress for all four seasons in one day.

Good afternoon, gents.

we all wish we could carry a little of your load so as to lighten it Buppies
make the best of your good days

I thought marrying a nurse was a great idea for many reasons.
Turns out I wound up being the caregiver for many years.
Last two years was 200 days in hospital.
I started on TBN as a way to kill time sitting in that hospital chair
I could dream of a new Kubota.
at one point after the umpteenth operation, my wife looked up at me and said
honey I think it's time you got your new tractor.
and I did and many of you remember I had a little heart painted on rear window with
her name in it.

so sometimes it's us guys taking care of the wives, not other way around.
I got serious caregiver PTSD and had to escape to NC.
Worrying for too long is the part that gets you weary.
The what next thoughts you can't avoid.
the stress from which doesn't help Buppie's own health.
so perhaps at least mentally we will try to lighten Buppies load

having someone to talk to is really important.

Amen to that, Drew.
I had a different ending, but looking back, my caregiver days for Sophie were a blessing. All these years later it is a struggle to remember the more difficult times, but the good memories are right there. Hard to believe that started Nov 1998. I surely couldn’t foresee that would lead to this life in Hawaii. Her idea.
Blessing to Buppies and all the others, caregivers and carereceivers.

Lots of Kona coffee grown there

Ron, my rv is rated at 14,500 gvw, so well under bridge rating.

80 degrees out, odd, about to drop rapidly
got all my outside stuff done
even found a few small tomatoes

leaves whirling every which way
unfortunately they collect at my front door.
that pad is 9x13 for an 8x12 shed
already looks too small
have golf cart and two garden tractors, want to get two out of three inside.

I managed some tractor therapy today. Managed to bushhog all the trails. Dusthog would be more appro. Need the pressure washer now. Yikes. Had to move a tree out of a trail path. Seems Mr. or Mrs. Beaver is back. Guess the chain saw comes out tomorrow. That and the ZTR. It is summer all over...again.

Worked some more on cleaning up the slope that I dug down yesterday. Changed the excavator bucket to the 36 inch one and scraped it down . I can see the value of a swivel/tilting bucket but given that I don't need it often will be hard to justify. A hydraulic auger would also be nice but seldom need it and the Danuser 3pt still works.

Need to pick up some smaller rocks and the area will be used for firewood splitting

 

[riptides]

Today I also managed to move a fire hydrant I brought home from
the in-laws. Just because. I think it will be a good conversation piece.

51F winds finally settling down.

20-30mph winds loosen lot leaves from the trees 3 ditches are full blanket of leaves on ground etc. wind wasn't in my favor for backpack blower.

Plans for the evening....feet up share bowl ice cream shorty afterwards snuggle with pillow.

Enjoy your evening all.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.3C and it's presently 20.9C, off&on cloudy and fairly calm [although a wind warning is in effect].

It looks like another 'putter' day today.

That's about it, take care all.

 

[NHBX]

Good evening,
55° now heading down to 40° by morning winds have died down to around 5-10 mph had some gusts over 35 midday. Highs of 79° yesterday and 73° today.

To windy for leaf patrol so just puttered around most of the day. No idea what the weekend will bring just take it as it comes.

Prayers for you and your wife Buppies

 

[sodamo]

Golf cart loaded, off to new home.
Tight fit, thought I was gonna need vaseline.

 

[Looking4new]

Drew, you could go to a cat scale and get a gross weight as outfitted. Just note it on the weigh ticket that all tanks were empty. Fresh, black and gray waters.
Most manufacturers gross weight is taken dry. No oil, no coolant and no fuel.

 

[PJSprog]

Looks like the BX was getting a good rinse, David.
