Good morning!!!!

[Ed of all trades]

Good morning all. 65 here this morning going to 86 with a 40% chance of thunderstorms. Mowed yesterday and worked on my closet, adding shelves. Called a craigs list add for a mini wood lathe for two days and then emailed them, they had the wrong phone # listed and someone else got the lathe. Called another and the guy is out of town until the 23rd so we will see. Glad I did not get the first one as this one is bigger.

Buppies AC:cool2:

David sounds like diesel is high but how much do you have to spend on heating and cooling?

RNG I like to see people make things happen and get the job done :thumbsup: me, I would have called someone to do it long ago.:laughing:

Have a great day Ed

70 this morning high of 84 later today with rain shower possible next week looks wonderful. Kevin hope tooth feels better.

Beautiful flower Eric your pictures are always most thoughtful and creative

 

[Buppies]

Yes A/C is now working to perfection very please with how quiet it is. The temperature is set to 71 and it is consistent throuout the house. Propane furnace still has to be dialed in though

 

[wngsprd]

68 going to 91...but temps are expected to drop 10 degrees next week...is that because some of Buppies new cold air will make it over the state to Central Virginia?

Kevin, I don't think I'd be up for running a chainsaw after a root canal.

Planning on taking the dogs and my son for a hike today before he leaves.

Picked up a lot of sticks and dead limbs yesterday, and a few leafy ones, from the storm that came through Wednesday night.

Looks like I won't be getting any more nightly visits from our local red fox - saw vultures working on him out front on the road. But there are others, based on trail cam photos.

Poured first cup of coffee. 65° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 84° with chance of thunderstorms in afternoon. Wife got a diagnose yesterday. Not good but at least we know. Making plans for a second opinion. Need to get lawnmower ready for lawn cutting tomorrow. Blades need sharpening. Then a grease all the fittings. Need to do same to MMM on tractor.
Kevin, hope you are feeling better today.
Eric, is that a poppy.
Buppies, good news on the A/C.
RGN, trying to come up with a bubble title for your picture. Hope you got some sleep last night.
Good Morning All.

59F now mid 80's for high...still not much needed rain in the forecast.

Good Morning and thanks for the well wishes. The tooth isn't giving me any problems now that nerves are gone and the temporary filling is in. That was the second appointment for the same tooth and it still has to be crowned $$$.

Did yard work all day yesterday to get ready for campers this weekend. See my post in lawn and garden, that was a LOT of grass! The camping will probably be cancelled since we have a 70% chance of thunderstorms Saturday. Oh well, at least the place will look nice for awhile.

Haven't seen any mole damage since Jena killed the last one but it's only a matter of time I'm sure.

Kevin

A little cooler this morning and cooler weather, slightly, ahead.
Kevin, I had to have a bridge put in about six months ago, and now the molar under the bridge needs a root canal.
If I can run a chain saw the same day they torture me fixing that, I'll be the happiest camper alive.
I could have bought a nice chipper for my tractor
for what I spent on my teeth this past year. Of course, they are mini chippers, eh?
problem is it's like fixing your septic system, no improvement over what you had, lucky if you get back to where you were after spending
a ton of money.

yes, we need more of Eric's well composed pictures. Sheep in the fog is a favorite of mine.

Good morning! 76˚ heading to 85˚ cloudy 25% chance of rain. We had another 1/3" of rain yesterday and it is looking green for August, a very nice surprise.

I was happy to see Cathy Fisher reach and exceed her goal for her plant based, no oil or sugar cookbook on kickstarter.
She had hoped to get $50,000. and is up to $67,639 with 1,600 backers and still has two hours to go. I should get my cookbook in October. The Straight Up Food Cookbook by Cathy Fisher 揖ickstarter

Drew!!!! Comparing a mouth to a septic system this early in the morning! I have to go back to Eric's pic to rinse that thought out of my mind.

ok, ok, think well pump instead, a really deep well pump with a whole new casing

70 this morning and headed to 83 today. A 40% chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Radar currently looks more promising.

Birds arrive this morning. So I'll spend most of today messing with them. The wife says she needs to go pickup some paperwork from Doctor, so I'll probably take her.

Did get a couple of hours last night to work on baseboard in bathroom. I put the canopy up in the front yard while wife was gone yesterday to put my miter saw under. Just raise and lower as long as wind doesn't get up. Wife wasn't impressed with the new decoration. Had some friends over last night and he liked the idea. Go figure.

Ron. Hopefully wife gets better news at second Doctor.

Believe me, Ed, I did try to find someone to do this paint job. At least the color coats. But when I saw what the local shops were capable of, for quite a bit of money, I just couldn't bring myself not to keep it as a DYI. There's a regular customer of my mechanic's that refurbishes and sells these busses for a living, and he's in the process of having three or four of them painted locally. The first one came back with dry paint on the back hatch that felt like sandpaper, and runs off the front drip rails. Another had fish eyes (caused by contamination). Still waiting on the the other two to come back. If problems as obvious as these are there, I can't help but wonder what kind of shortcuts were taken on the prep that don't show because they're covered with paint.:shocked:

 

[RedNeckGeek]

Literally had a root canal at 7:15 this morning. I decided to take the day off work so I came home and chainsawed a heaping pickup load of pallets for a bonfire this weekend. My mouth and tongue are still numb right now and my back will probably be out in the morning. If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough they say.

If you're gonna be miserable anyway you might as well get some work done and not waste the whole day, eh? :confused2:

 

[lostcreekranch]

77 degrees and very foggy here. Humidity at 99%. Forecast is for 87 this afternoon. Way better than previous week with highs over 100!

Good Morning! 74F @ 5:15AM. Sunny. High 96F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Doctors are just like mechanics, attorneys, or any other profession: there's good 'uns and bad 'uns, Ron. A second opinion may uncover a whole new spectrum of treatment options, or even a completely different diagnosis, so don't give up hope!

Eric and Drew, somehow it seems we can always count on you two for colorful thoughts! :laughing:

Yesterday I slept 'till nearly noon; haven't done that in a long time. Then off to town for a haircut and errands, a day to feed the goose. Home late, but with a fresh skirt steak for the BBQ, and some Sierra Nevada Sidecar to wash it down with. First of their beers I've had that wasn't horribly over hopped. Drop box was full of packages when I got home; one of them is probably the new weather station, so I'll probably fool with that over the weekend.

Today I'll roll up the plastic on the spray booth before the wind tears it up, and get my friend's cylinder stud repaired, hopefully before it gets too hot. Bodyman/neighbor said he'd come by tomorrow and teach me how to use the seam sealer gun and how to block sand the primer. Hope you bought some stock in 3M, Eric; it would be paying off handsomely now! :laughing:

TGIF!

62.4F this morning with clear skies ... high predicted to be 85F with no rain.

Got the seal kits and hydraulic filters picked up for the Kubota yesterday ... for $50 a pop they sure don't give ya a whole lot. Also picked up a new air pump for the fish tanks ... a Fluval Q2. Wanted the larger one but they were out of them ... very quiet and pumps lots of air tho'.

Picked up some 1/2" rebar to stake the timbers for the playground since The Depot was right next to PetSmart ... still have to cut those down into 2' stakes.

Also ran down to Rural King in Wooster and picked up a couple of hoses for the dump trailer and a larger cylinder for the log lift on the splitter.

On the way back home I stopped in at the commercial property and met with a guy about cutting the lawn and picking up the trash the heathens keep leaving. He only wanted $25 to do it ... couldn't believe it. I told him I'd pay him $50 and we could talk about adjusting the rate for an ongoing basis after he gets it all cut down and cleaned up. Still way cheap IMO.

Finished off the day by sanding the trim pieces with some 320 and applying another coat of poly.

Ron, pray that things work out good for your wife.

I was a body man before getting in the upholstery business in the 70's. When I started in the upholstery trade I still wanted to do cars, so I built a booth similar to yours, zippered corners, sewn in filters and velcroed around the fan. Sewed pipes in the bottom and sat blocks on them, worked great! Provides good light for sure. I could reel mine up to the ceiling out of the way for normal work.

Another warm and muggy couple of days, with highs near 90. Then cooling off some.

Gotta pick up my 3/8" x 2" flat bar today so I can really get going on the hitch for my tractor.

Count me in on that one too. Ed

Just got the mail and my new pocket knife came. :cool2: I had a rosewood handle Buck stockman that I loved. A few years ago I was at a knife show and Chuck Buck was there signing knives so I had him sign my knife. I then realized I had messed up and bought a small buck flipper that I soon got tired of. Kept using it for years and when we moved it got stuck in a box and is still there, somewhere. Got a 303 buck with rosewood handles, US made. It is sweet and came sharp even, just shaved my leg. I know, it's just a pocket knife but...:cool2: Ed
