I don't even do that with the JD. I'd love to have a nice tractor shed, but like so many other things "I want", time, location and money all factor in. It has sat out for the last 40 years, but maybe I'll put an old canvas tarp over it, since that was its cover for the 10 years proceeding the last 40.

2 tractors out in the elements. $500-1000 spent on a metal carport for the both of them will pay off in the long run. Example: $200 for a seat that last only 2 yrs sitting out in the weather.

My 2 cents

Good Morning! A cloudy windy cold 43˚ morning. We missed the rain. They say this is the last cold front - it sure was nice when it blew that 80˚ temps out to sea.

AM softball practice for seniors on a Wednesday? You have that many unemployed or is everyone retired at 55+ up North? Our work ethic down south is that everyone that is capable of playing softball is either working or pretending to work in the morning in the middle of the week.

Sounds like fun sign me up!

Darn straight you should sign up. Your menus of perfection need a daily exercise-cardio program to keep the wheels on the bus.

Sorry I'm late, had to get to an early morning meeting.

I had a nice harley ride in traffic to the customer's facility.

Last night I went home and as an act of service I built a funeral pyre for the duck killed by stray dogs and I conducted the event. The wife visited a couple times (strangely she and I seem to be getting along all of the sudden) and my 4 year old was inseperable, she hung out with me and wanted to do EVERYTHING I was doing. It was just like old times for she and I, Wife made her a PBJ, and made me a sandwich and then the baby and I had a picnic dinner tending the fire while it got dark... It was very sweet in my book.

Too soon to tell anything. I'm nose to the girnd stone working on my issues, and working on my career...

Be well all.

66F, looking good

Costco run today. That's a 180 mile round trip. Pretty much the whole day by the time we get home and put stuff away.
Have a great day

My 2 cents

JD is in original seat, from 1986. Avery has a metal seat, and is original. Of course, they do get to sit under shade trees. It would brand my behind if I set them in the sun, and tried to ride them then, here in Texas.

I'll look into the carport for this summer. I live in a very high wind area, on a hill. Lost the hay barn roof twice since I've lived here, in spite of hurricane tie downs. Hard to get purchase for a carport, since about 6 inches down can be solid rock. It isn't that I want them to sit out, just would take more money than buying the carport to sit them under, as the anchoring would cost WAY more than the shelter. That is what I meant about no location.

Thanks for the suggestion, birddog!

While I would have loved to have had some of your rain, I'll pass onthe snow!

I already do the 1.5 hrs in the gym daily so I'm good, besides those softballs hurt!

Diet is paying off got the Monday blood test results back: HDL - 43 LDL - 39 !!! Risk ratio 0.9

Without any milk, cheese or dairy my calcium level is perfect - Don't tell the dairy industry they will have a cow!
And again my protein level is perfect without any kind of eggs or meat - tell the cow make his day!

You surely are the poster child for the way to succeed at this. Congrats that you do the diet as well as the workout thing.
Adding you to the total I am now aware of only three people that have bothered to educate themselves about the way to stay alive. Everyone else is hoping they get lucky. Yeah, that'll work.

Did you count me as one of the three who have bothered to learn that the way to stay alive is to keep breathing? It's not that difficult to understand.

OK, that makes four. Sorry to have missed a survivor.
What's surprising is the number of people that drop out of the exercise program after a few weeks.

I have to look at it as a part time job - got to do it 6 out of 7 days - no option. The pay is time.

52(!!!) right now and 57 as a high. Clear and pleasant, but not as warm as yesterday...

MossflowerWoods · Apr 25, 2013

51 headed to 67, should be a nice partly cloudy day.

I turn 49 today. I'm not sure how today will go. I wonder if the wife and kids will acknowledge it, or with me in exile they will just blow it off. Seems petty to be worried about it. My buddy and his wife who are letting me live here have something planned so I will not feel unloved on my birthday (They truly are awesome people).

Coffee is good. Got another appt with my shrink/marriage counselor tonight. Looks like the big sales proposal we delivered is doing well in the selection process, and honestly the wife and I are doing better, and the baby totally wants me back, so... who knows... Maybe things are looking up.

Be well all of you,
God Bless,
David
