Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

a high of 52 today and we are already there, with rain all day and overnight. I washed the tractor yesterday just before the blackflies drove me inside. I gotta put it away this morning and fuel it as well.
Then sort my stuff and load the Jeep for the summer of work. Today will be my last posting on TBN for a while.
One thing is for sure, IF anything adverse happens to me, then junior knows how to get on here to let you all know and unsubscribe me from these forums.

Good luck.

Good Morning!!!! 71F @ 6:30AM. Sunny. High 96F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Got the house cooled off inside by opening the screen doors for a few hours this morning, but it's already time to shut them again. Gonna be a hot spell this week!

Managed to get the brackets to hold the radio in place bent up, and the big hole cut in the dash for a new plate that will accommodate the A/C vents and controls. Had two citronella candles burning the whole time, but that didn't stop the mosquitos feasting. Hopefully this hot weather will dry out whatever they're breeding in/on and the rest of the summer will be bug free. Should get the new plate welded in today, and get the dash ready for another coat of paint when it cools off again tomorrow morning.

Hope everyone enjoys a quiet Sunday...

Missed yesterday, it got up to the high 50's. Partly cloudy and a cool wind out of the west.
About the same for today with chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon.

Looks like it's going to warm up this coming week.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Sounds like jets are more exciting than cars. Glad it was a good time.

I'm a big fan of the Thunderbolt, the brass says they're old, slow and ugly, so am I but I can still take care of my business and so can they!

56 going to 69. That should feel nice.

Drew, great job on that watering wagon. You may be out on it everyday later this summer, but may not need it this week...at least up here, every day and night weather icon on the National Weather Service forecast page is a rainy one.

The best watering improvement I've made is new handles for my 5 gallon buckets...those thin plastic grips on the buckets always crack and fall off the metal, and then the metal handle eats into my hand while carrying it full of water. So, I found a couple of fishing rods on the river bottom at the tail end of a white water section while kayaking. They were pretty messed up, so cut the handles off to fit the bucket handle...hack sawed a thin cut so they would slip over the metal. One is a cork handle, the other the dense foam...they feel great.

Put the grapple on yesterday to move some brush I cut last week. Glad I was wearing shorts so I could quickly feel a hydraulic leak spray on my leg while test opening the jaws. Turns out one of the fittings on my 3rd function had vibrated loose...I guess from hours of tilling and bush hogging. Took 10 seconds to retighten but about an hour cleaning up fluid from all over. I use to check for leaks each time I used the tractor for the first 10 times after I installed it back in April, but no leaks...then stopped checking...and it only leaked when operating the jaw so didn't notice until yesterday.

Re-tilled the part of the garden not yet planted, and will finish planting today, taking advantage of cooler cloudy weather.

On the bucket handle, I took a 1" dowel and drilled through the middle, split one side, slipped it on taped a piece of pool noodle over it, sure makes it easy on the fingers.

Going to around 70 today then looks like a wet mild week. I'd like to be lazy but the grass is growing and do are the weeds, mow and spray to fill my day!

Good morning all. Max and me just managed to get round the sheep this morning before the rain started. It took a little longer than usual because a few lambs had got themselves stuck in the fence. I'm sure they don't realise they are growing up and keep trying to take grass from the other side by squeezing their heads through the same holes that were an easy fit a month ago.

Kyle, you are good at making things so if you have a little time to spare, all knights need to have their own special sword

LOL, no sword for this young guy yet, but I might let him watch the sword and the stone again Maybe an outing to learn how to safely shoot .22LR. He's seen his older sister shoot, but not had the chance himself yet.

Hope your summer is productive. Come back and tell us how it went.

Bill, have a good summer and drive safely. Don't those tar trucks come with wifi? We'll miss you for awhile.

I washed the car early, so yesterday the truck and tractor got done and today the car. That's one sure fire way to get it to rain all week.
Cooler morning, nice to work outside. Need to go pick snap peas again, will give some to my neighbors plus a couple of strawberries. Bush beans coming in, surprisingly tough, i think from not getting watered the week I was away.

66°F and .02 inches rain last 24 hours

No big ambitious plans for the day. Last night I got wife's replacement iPhone 6+ set up. Impressed that it took only a week to get replaced. Her old one developed 'touch disease'.

Have some shrimp marinating for grilling later. Cottage residence coming down for a game of Rummikub.

Be safe
Have a great day

70F and raining @ 12:30 ... rain likely through 15:00. Then two days of cool, partly cloudy/partly sunny weather. It will be time to put the MMM back on before I've even had a chance to do anything with it off ...

Got panels painted yesterday - 3rd coat on 3, 2nd coat on one.

No idea about the rest of the day at this point ... but it will probably be inside.
