32 and a big old frost this morning! Wasn't expecting that, but it's about time.
 
   / Good morning!!!! #5,762  
Waking up on the left coast, 52º and 60º expected. The big thing is it's raining and will continue for at least the next week. We kicked the horses off the summer pasture last weekend. I worked it evenings to remove a few rocks and get some fertilizer and seed down so now I'll let mother nature take over. :)
The ATV has been randomly not starting but a pull on the cord and it fires right up. Symptoms make me thing the brushes are the problem. I think I can get to them without dismantling the whole machine.

Sunny this morning. Got down into the 20s last night. First frost as well. Tractor made it home yesterday in one piece. It was "Drive Your Tractor To School Day Yesterday", at Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury CT. Everyone had fun and made it home safely. Going to split more wood today.

blaster214, welcome to TBN. What you say about driving your tractor to school...sounds like a fun thing to do if the weather is fair enough. I always wish I could have affordable insurance coverage on my tractor so I could drive it three miles to town and pick up a case of beer at the party store and then park it in front of the barbershop I frequent and see what kind of comments I get...:laughing:

That's very cool. Glad you all had fun driving your tractors to school. I know I would have.

It's currently warmed up to 63F out. Having some coffee then gonna get up on the roof today and find that slight leak around my wood stove pipe and finish sealing it off. Water started dripping in last night. lol

Nonnewaug is and Agricultural high school and as part of their elementary school open house, the ag students drive their tractors to the school that day. We live a bit to far to drive the whole distance so I trailered him part of the way and he met up with his friends about 4 mi from the school. They had over 20 tractors there yesterday. Good Fun.

Good afternoon! The t-post and 2"PVC idea work out good for the Start/Finish banner. I hung it 12' high. There were 91 finishers (along with 20 sponsors and 20 volunteers) in this mornings 5k fun run. All proceeds went to cardiac-rehab for new equipment for the incoming patients.

I felt good! I was able to finish it in 24:37, a 7:55 minute per mile pace, finishing in 6th place overall and 1st place in my age group!

No finishing picture. My wife missed it because she was not expecting me back so quick.

Including me there were 8 cardiac-rehab patients entered. At the end, we went back on the course and finished with Ida, this was her longest walk - ever!

46 and I can see a million stars (or more). Headed to 76. Yesterday was lovely outside.
I worked on clearing my perimeter trail with my Stihl FS90 with the metal blade. I aso picked up a couple hens and some ducks for my daughters from a buddy who is downsizing his farmette due to his first babay coming in Feb.

Be well all,
David

Raining very steadily, though not too hard, here. 0.3" so far since midnight, looks like it'll continue for quite a while. Interesting that it's clear in VA! Temp is around 38, 12+ degrees warmer than yesterday AM. WBB

Good Morning! 71 and a good chance for rain. We had 2" of hard stormy rain yesterday evening. Looks like more headed this way. The tornado that the national news is talking about in central Texas was about 15 miles from here. Congratulations Ron and Betty on your 50th!

As soon as it gets light I'll have to see if I can move the tree that fell on our county road blocking it.

Morning. It's about 70 right now and not sure how high it's going to go. Was going to go to Brown County and take some pictures yesterday morning, but when I got up it was pretty cloudy. Not that it was going to rain, but the get the photos to "pop" you really need sunshine. I'm pleasantly surprised with how well the colors are considering the drought and all. Then again we did have a record rain fall in September.

I'm like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I got my concrete guy set up and now have to wait till he gets to me. I'm hoping for Halloween time frame.
