Good morning!!!!

[Ed of all trades]

Good Morning! 68˚ and dark and quiet. I was just thinking all is calm till I read Ed's post about us getting more rain and I checked the radar and WOW we are going to get slamed again in a few hours, it looks like a tital wave is comming from the Northwest. I was going to go to town but if I do I might not make it back till the low water crossingings recede and that takes about 12 hours. All the pond are still overflowing and the creeks are full. Thanks for the heads up Ed.

Good news - after 4 hours and changing out the antenna my Internet is up.
Bad news - Carwash pressure washer broke again a few months back.
Good news - BP sent a replacement pressure washer motor/pump a month ago, finally got aroung to replacing it.
Bad news - as soon as I turned it on the new pressure washer blew a brass reieif plug. I guess I should have not turned the pressure adjustment knob to high. The warranty has expired and now I have 2 broke pressure washers that are simular, but not simular enough to exchange parts to make one working one.
Bad news - no place local carries the plug that blew because the thread is BSP - British Standard Pipe.
Good news - found replacement plug on newly working internet but it will be May 4 before the plug arrives.

Glad I could help a little. Stay dry and Hope things go well with the pressure washer. Ed

Good morning all. Looks like we are set for sunshine again all day today. I saved on sun screen cream by spending yesterday afternoon inside the tractor cab and then blew away that saving by pushing the air conditioning button. Ok, I admit I could have been comfortable by just turning the fan up instead, but more than a year after getting this Iseki the novelty of having a cab, let alone air con, still hasn't worn off.




My neighbour was spreading too. Not so much wind here so the smell creeps up on you, hides for a while, then comes back again once you got used to having fresh air again. At least I should be thankful his once green, now painted brown, field is only 18 acres.

They came and disced it under late yesterday, that pretty much does in the smell, and today the wind has switched. :thumbsup:

Got to 83° yesterday, around low 70's today.

59F and sunny @ 11:00 ... high today is supposed to be 72F. Chance of shower very late and then cloudy tomorrow with a few showers here and there. Same for Friday.

Just when the ground was starting to dry out a little ...

Need to start thinking about mowing the grass.

The wend changed here too. The place is full of smoke, hate to think about the people living closer. We live about 25 or 30 mi away by road, maybe 20 miles as the smoke flies. Ed

Today used the tractor to rake out some dead snarls, then hooked the mower an cut a couple of acres, filled the truck with some of the crap I've been raking, then a bit of chainsawing, the some lawn tractor cutting, oops then more sawing and the big dead tree went in the creek so I had to jump in to hook it to the tractor, and finally cut it up and dumped it by the woodshed. Lot of work for a retired guy

We make our from lentils, what is your base?

Only had a 1/2" rain today but it all ran off, the ground is saturated. Going on a dewberry hunt.

Yep I made mine out of lentils too, turned out pretty good if you take in account that I had to make do with what I had instead of what was called for. Wife said we will make it again.

The wind changed about 1:00 and the smoke went else where. They say the total acres burned is 5600 now. Tx Don do you have any rain you could spare? We sure need some. Ed
