Good morning!!!!

67°F and .18 inches rain

Got my 1st flush pipes cleaned out and replaced my first stage water filter to catchment tanks. This filter is a home made contraption consisting of a plastic filter insert, 5 gallon nylon paint strainer, and panty hose housed in 4 inch pvc. Should have taken a pic. Amazing what this captures after the 1st flush but before the water goes to the storage take. I have 2 others to clean and replace and will try to remember to get pics.

Off to town for breakfast and errands. One of those being HD for more 5 gal strainers.

Be safe
Have a great day

RNG, that warehouse sounds wonderful, the proverbial treasure trove.

Had to race to get Massey out to end of road for pickup, guy came super early, should have known, he's a farmer on the side,
and while I had the tractor out there I was on my way back with the Kubota and a pallet of weights he had to take, when I saw he was already out there.
Worked out perfectly, lifted pallet right to end of his pickup truck and he was very relieved,
said my timing was perfect. Well....
So back to barn and put on grapple and having some breakfast before I go cut down an ugly tree behind my house.
And hopefully plant a pretty one in its dying place.

Toppop, I have memories of first gen side moldings drooping off cars in the 70's and 80's, all kinds of cars, Dodge caravans, sedans.
You must have put a lot of them back on with better glue.

Indeed I did.

Saw the Doobie Brothers in concert last night. They still sound good. Back still hurts, probably shouldn't have gone, but had the tickets.

I saw the Doobies in the early seventies, through the haze between us and the stage, there were many "Doobie bros" that night!

Eric, Nantwich looks like a wonderful story book village...hope you get to return when nearby they have the "worm charming" championship so you can tell us about it.

Cut more firewood logs this morning...getting lots of workout of my grapple this week...and workout of my my legs and back carrying them a long ways through the woods. Also used the grapple to move some homemade picket fence sections I made from old cypress flooring boards...have used them some years to surround the garden.

Don, nice to hear your mom is back in the garden.

Typical fall morning - cool, damp - looking like more rain. The fortunate aspect - no smoke, ash or crud.

Glad the air is better. Are the Cascade fires getting under better control and reducing in size any?

Good evening all. 74F this morning, overcast the cleared quickly and windy. Winds slowed a bir during the day, sky bcame clear and high temp was 91F. We have a slow cooling trend though early next week with a cold front moving though, bringing rain, :dance1: and temps will go from above normal to below normal, high in the mid to upper 70's. :drink: . Bike ride this morning, and worked on boat seat, I think I have the seat board close to what it was, have a few holes to locate and frill. Then I need to work out reassembly, the seat has a plastic lip that part of the seat foam is glued to in the way, and the seat covering has 2 internal flaps that get stapled to the wood prior to stapling the periphery to the wood.

Good morning. We are starting off with a clear sky again and for once, if the forecast turns out correct, we wil have an entire day without rain. Seems a shame to waste such a rare event with a paint brush in hand. At least the heavy dew is giving me a good excuse for putting it off for a while.

...hope you get to return when nearby they have the "worm charming" championship so you can tell us about it.

Wng, I gather you have discovered what some of the good people of Willaston consider the highlight of entertainment for the year.

As a kid I was fishing mad and once went through a phase of catching worms at night for bait. Worm stalking ( catching them on the surface of a damp lawn by moonlight, or with a next to flat battery in a torch) became almost a sport in it's own right. Who else can admit to things they would probably never have done if video games had been around sooner ? :laughing:

Up way too early!

47 right now...heading to the mid-80's today.
No particular plans other then the usual weekend chores of mowing and trimming.

Fingers crossed for good fish fry weather, Don.

Good morning! 69˚
RNG the forecast is calling for a low of 60˚ and a high of only 79˚ - it will be a winter wonder day! We may have to fire up a brush pile for warmth.

We had overcast skies yesterday a good part of the day. I should have mowed the yard, as some of my neighbors did, but I went to see my eye doctor early yesterday morning, and don't really like to get out much after they dilate my eyes. So I reckon about daylight, or a little before (the Ego mower has headlights), I'll mow today. 73 degrees going for 93 today.
