Good morning!!!!

... RS, you sure have a mess to clean up.

Yeah ... it could be a lot worse I suppose ... just glad I didn't find any decomposing bodies ... :laughing:

The neighbors at the rear of that building - whose house caught fire and burned back in January - had sorta encroached onto our property ... I have a 8' (l) x 6' (w) x 4' (h) dog "palace" that I somehow need to move back onto their property ... that should be interesting ...

I did find some old guy's wallet - looks like whoever lifted it picked the credit cards and then dumped it ...

Kinda surprised they left the driver's license.

Gotta see if I can track him down today.

Pics on the pond if you would ...

61 and a still a little foggy. T-storms and 80 likely today.

Phoebes nesting on one of the outdoors spotlight are hatching...easy to see from a window. Baby rabbits in the yard. Nice time of year.

I'm starting to itch just looking at RS's poison ivy...

Better you than me ...

I didn't even shower until after I got up from my nap ... no itching so far ... which is pretty good, considering that I cut up a bunch of it and the brushcutter was spraying it everywhere ...

Probably ought to change the sheets tho' ... :laughing:

Good Morning Everyone, Hope your weekend is starting out well. Hope everyone stays safe on this holiday. 74 with a high of 98 today, 0% chance of rain

Buppies - where are you going? We leave early Sunday morning for Ohio, I think Farmer said he was coming to FL tomorrow

Drew - Glad to know you have patriotic turtles

I refueled the tanks ($300) and the tractor and mower, changed blades on the mower, finished mowing the grass and had time to take the wife out for Italian for her birthday dinner.

Today I am sending a worker to tear down an old wood fence and the new one will go back up when I get back. I have to go change locks in a house 45 minutes away, and hook up my repaired receiver to the "Home Theater" then start getting things ready to go

I use a dish liquid bottle filled with gas & a little used engine oil (for color) and give those thistles a squirt preferably when they are in the rosette stage. and its very effective. gasoline is a natural thing that comes out of the earth.

Hey Drew, the first bit is made to mortise hinges out, not long run mortising, the 2nd one is better, but you don't need the bearing, use the base of your router along the straight edge. And lastly don't waste your money on the kit, buy the bits you need as you need them. You will never use half the bits in a set when you buy sets, so why waste the money? Also if your router takes them, always try to use 1/2" shank bits, less vibration equals cleaner cuts.

Amana Tool 45422 Straight Plunge 1/2-Inch Diameter by 1-1/2-Inch Cutting Height by 1/2-Inch Shank Carbide Tipped Router Bit - - Amazon.com

Is a fine bit to use and will last a long while till it gets nicked

Hate to burst your bubble, but gas does not come out of the earth. It is a refined product with things added to it, "Crude Oil" is what comes out of the earth and that stuff is nasty and smelly.

Good morning, a cool 52F here this morning heading to 75F and a beautiful day.

Around 80F today & sunny. Should be a decent breeze picking up a bit later too.

I have to lay a scent trail this morning for Sira and then get to work on the rocks.

Hope everyone enjoys a long weekend.

51 degrees right now...high of 78 and clear today. I'm off today through Monday and, boy, do I need the break! It was nice sleeping in too!
Today's chores...finishing mowing the lawn, fix a busted rain spout and finish assembling a grill. Hopefully, we'll be grilling tomorrow.
If I have time, I'll start mowing the field.
