Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

Good morning all. 69 degrees and overcast, heading to 80 this afternoon.

Don, your walkway looks great!

Happy St. Patrick's day to all Irish and wannabes (I'm 1/4).

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Looks good. Some of the bricks in picture look likes they are cut on a 45ｰ. Is that something new or a illusion?

16 of the 204 pavers are cut at 90˚. It's either an illusion or you're in Colorado.

Wow, a lot to catch up on...

Happy ST. Patty day all!

Today is my son's 6th birthday. We are all wearing green. I've taken off work today. We are going to a park in the next town over, and go see the movie Zootopia.

Eric, hope your dog gets better.

Don, good job on the pavers. Glad whipper was pulling guard duty so you could keep your attention diverted to the pavers.

Drew is now a happy camper. Does it have it's own brakes to help your truck out?

Have a great day. Watch out for the green beer.

53F and sunny @ 11:30 ... heading up to a high of 58F ...

Might have to get some seat time in, if it's dry enough.

We lost power last night @ around 23:30 ... fell asleep before it came back on.

Think someone hit a pole on a nearby road ... lights were out on one side of the adjacent street but not the other.

Nice work on the pavers Don :thumbsup:

Good morning all. 50F at sunrise, cloudy and thunderstorms around. Hail @ 9:15, rain @ 10:30 some auto damage and likely some roof damage. Have to go to town and run errands. One of the hail stones made it into the rain gauge so I think it's reading will be on the high side.

 

[mostly_gas]

Sorry, forgot the hail pics :thumbdown:

Don nice work on the pavers :thumbsup:

RS sorry to hear so many issues with alarm upgrades :thumbdown:, sounds like other security measures are coming along nicely :drink:

Drew nice trailer, when you go camping?

60°F and 1.02 inches rain last 24 hours.

Only 4 sheets of cement board dry fitted before I got rained out, so took wife to town and treated to lunch. Dropped off the Tundra for today's appointment for rodent modified wiring to be replaced. Did a few errands.

Dr appnt this AM for next series of Hep shots. Back to cement board if it dries out.

Be safe
Have a great day

Very nice job, Don

Thanks guys. I did plan on the width fitting perfectly but it was luck on the length hiting the pavers perfectly with no extra cutting.

Good afternoon,
Good news on the dog Eric!! Glad he is doing better.

Just got back from the Ritchie Auction site in Morris IL. Ritchie calls it their Chicago site, You can see the place from RT80. Wow could a guy who likes equipment get into trouble there. The place is huge and just about anything you could dream up is there.

I registered and put bids in on some Diesel fuel transfer tanks. Two old ones and two new ones. They set it up so you can bid on more than one and if you don't get the first you get a chance at the second one. Hope I don't end up with one of each. :shocked: If I do I bet I can sell one to Jim next door. The new ones were still in the shipping containers and have 20 gal 12 volt pump and hose with them. They hold 150 gal, The old ones are 100 gallon no pumps but clean.
They run 3 rings on auction day and also have a timed auction on the smaller things that is on-line like e-bay, The big stuff you can live bid at the auction or on line in real time.

Don;

Christi made the 6 pm news on Houston KPRC / NBC Channel to tonight. An alligator out in Ft. Bend County near Richmond / Sugar Land Area. Looked to be about 6'.

Her Dad made the story as well.

40 right now...and that looks to be about as high as it's going to get today

 

[Eric Salop]

Hail @ 9:15, rain @ 10:30 some auto damage and likely some roof damage.

Those are impressive hailstones, although I'm sure I would be less impressed if one of them hit me on the head, I have never seen anything near that size. Sorry to hear they have caused damage to your property.

They remind me of a two part rubber mould we had when I was a child that, if you were careful filling with water, turned out dinky round balls of ice, apart from a tiny pip on the top vent hole. The volume of ice in them was not that great for cooling drinks, but it was well worth the effort to use as ammunition for the catapult.

Good morning all. Yesterday we had a full day of sunshine, which was much appreciated by everything on 2, 3 & 4 legs.

My wife took Max on a few short walks and he looks almost back to normal, including barking at cats and delivery drivers. The vet rang her to check up on his progress. Seems that's all part of the service, included in with the $75 fee for the consultation, jab and his course of medicine. Perhaps if you get sick around here, it is better to be a dog than a human.


Very neat work Don, you measured and built that formwork to perfection (And I'm not only saying that to try and get better grades in food classes next year )

47 high of 60 today rain and snow for weekend high in 40s

 

[Thomas]

By the looks of the weather map old man winter going to visit us for the next 5days.

Enjoy the day all.

Good Morning all
It is 35 here this morning and supposed to go to 63. Snow saturday through sundaay night. Be a good temperature to cut the tree I have to today. It hangs out over the neighbors storage trailer and is dropping limbs on it.
Am going to the credit union today too. We are down sizing, we have to mow or 4 to 4.5 hr's a week here just to keep up and leaves are a huge problem as well. Had one big snow (for here) and a little one and I plowed for over 8 hr's just here.
The new place will have 1/3 of an acre and a short drive way. Yep this country boy is going to be a city slicker. Wife wants me o get a used Steiner with a few attachments, over kill for 1/3 acre but I think she just wants me to have a toy to play with. Also hope to build a shop in the back yard to play in. Hate to do it in some ways but with life what it is it is time.

Eric glad Max is getting back to normal.

Don, Just might have to use your idea at the new house, looks great.

38 going to 70. Was 84 earlier this week, and should be 30 and snow Sunday. Bradford pear blooming. Snake still on porch...bulge in tummy.

Don, ditto on the paver job.

Eric, sounds like you found a great vet. We like ours, too.

Got another field bush hogged yesterday. May have overworked my blade trimmer - couldn't get it started for the first time...took spark plug out and air filter off...definitely flooded, so letting it air out...will retry today. Eric, I may need to borrow your new one .

Came inside to watch some ACC victories in NCAA tourney.
