Good morning!!!!

[CajunRider]

45ｰF and cloudy this morning, going up to a balmy 50ｰ today. We got a little rain overnight, but looks like we'll be dry until Sunday.

Carpenter came back yesterday and finished a few things; installed the hood over the stove, finished the backspash and grout, and fixed a leak with the faucet. The kitchen is now complete(-ish). :drink:
Wife celebrated by cooking steaks on the stovetop center grill last night. :licking:

Interesting to note that Lowe's fix for the measurement mistake was to add another upper and base cabinet at the end on the other side of the 'fridge. The upper cabinet they sent ... wait for it ... was the wrong size. It's 3" shorter than the rest of the upper cabinets. A couple of replacement doors they sent were also too short. (sigh)

Here's a closeup of the granite countertop.

Just took delivery of the washer & dryer. I shall have clean clothes soon!

Just took off the bottom cap of the bevel case for the front axle of my tractor. Found a bunch of metal shavings. I assume they came from my gears It appears I got major repair coming up next.

Frost when I got up, foggy now, expected to be in 50s. Grass is really getting the green on.

Had to go to ER last night. My wife had cut a piece of her fingernail off prepping some bells peppers for snacks mid morning. She was able to stop bleeding but when our daughter took the bandage off to check things, it bled a bunch. They bandaged it and after talking to doc, decided ER was the plan.. short wait to check in, short wait to triage, long wait (2hrs) to be roomed, more waiting for nurse, more waiting for doc (PAC), more waiting while he chased down supplies he needed... got home after 2am, took over an hour for me to fall asleep, running on empty today. Wife is doing much better (they numbed her finger, so she did not have pain and was able to get some sleep)..

I hope your lady heals up soon.

30 right now...high in the mid-30's with some snow coming in. The snow will get heavier tonight....oh boy! It's Spring Time!

I did get 10 gallons of diesel yesterday, so I reckon I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

Health screening at work a few weeks ago had my BP at 180 over 120 something...follow up (a few minutes later) it was about 150 over 94. Went to the doctor's yesterday and it was 130 over 60 something. Well, got the prescription for BP meds anyway.[/QUOTE
That's how I found out I had high bp. It took a couple tries, but they found the Meds to keep it down. They also told me to cut down on alcohol

Have you a reason to change the oil? If your tractor isn't too old, metal shavings aren't unusual in engines.

Maybe it is time for some bananas in the front end housing and a for sale sign on it?

Good evening all. 50F this morning, clear and light breeze. Wind came up, temp came up to 84F, skies remained mostly clear. Went for a ride this morning in the lighter wind, mowed this afternoon, almost got done. Apparently pinched tube during tire change, it was flat and had to use trek for ride
