My dad sold at farmers market for years, even ran the market for a few yrs. He sold by weight or volume, and his prices were low. He sold a lot, but didnt make much doing it. I think he did it for the fun of sitting in town and talking to people. He put a lot of time, energy and expense in planting, cultivating, picking... The only way he made money was not counting his time.
Wife picked me up a can of seafoam at walmart yesterday. Guy who showed it to her said they had 40 cans in the morning, had 4 cans left when she got one. Can has dents all over it.
Boys flew in from college, late night airport run, so still lying in bed. Taking them out to eat later for their belated birthday meal.
Wind starts later today. I hate high winds.
One of the new washing machine shutoff valves is leaking slightly where it screws into wall pipe. Need to drain, put more pipe dope on it. Need to replace the house shutoff valve with a ball valve, so think I'll wait till i pick one up.

Oh, okay. I’m trying to decide what to with all the spare time generated from;
Not having to winterize equipment.
Not having to mount snow blower on tractor.
Not having to remember where snow shovel is.
Not closing swimming pool for winter.

64°F and no rain.
Should reach my stopping point on power washing today. Not that everything will be done, just the bulk of what I want to be done. As you could see in my little greeting pic it gets pretty bad.
Thanks for all the comments. Even my wife got a chuckle.
Picked up my new glasses from Walmart yesterday. Guess my prescription had changed more than I thought. After a few hours I think I’ve pretty much adjusted and they are going to be fine.
Be safe
Have a great day.

Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 7:45AM. Sunny. High 58F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
The county crime/fire Facebook group had a thread at 6:30 this morning: An attempted home invasion was stopped when the gunman failed to gain access through a door. A description of the rifle carrying man in black military garb was given, along with news that the sheriff was on the way. Half an hour later the sheriff was too late and there was no sign of him. Checking the the satellite map there was a large marijuana grow at the reported address. I don't have problems with people smokin' the stuff, but I really don't like other people coming to my neighbor's door and acting impolitely with a rifle. Chatter following the post indicates that criminal gangs from metro areas to the south commonly target the grows they spot using the same satellite views, and come knockin' at harvest time. Scary times...
I found good deals on rosemary and other plants at the farmer's market when I was landscaping this place, but it was a major PITA to find parking and everything else there was way overpriced for what it was. Didn't seem to slow down the other buyers, though. The WinCo store has very nice locally grown produce as well as everything else ya need each week, and great prices to boot. They're always crowded, but they've got a huge lot outside and the parking's free.:confused2:
Replacing the wheel bearings on the old motorcycle caused the preload on the bearing stack to change (they're tapered rollers), so I had to shave a few thousandths off the sleeve that separates the outer races. Installed the stack, clamped the axle into the vise, and rigged a magnetic base to use as an indicator for side-to-side and up-down movement on the rim. Got it to within 0.060", then used a steel rule across the hub ends to check the dish, which was off by about 0.125". Fixed that, then started tensioning the spokes using a torque wrench. Found that bringing a loose spoke up to torque didn't move the rim much if at all, which should be no surprise but having never used a torque wrench before was a bit of a revelation. The instructions that came with the spokes said to use 80 inch-pounds as a final value, and I got to 50 last night before it was time to quit for dinner. Hope to finish that one today and start respoking the other one. Probably another day before it's done, too.
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Opening day for deer season this morning, high 20's quickly changed to sleet, pouring rain, high winds.
My first time in a bldg with heat! Sitting in a comfy chair, heat on while it blows and pours is awsome.. no squirrels squealing on me for shifting or turning my head.. 'scuse me wilst I sip my coffee...

that's sounds like a fine idea! Of course just before you go home you could crawl around in the mud and snowy leaves for
the right effect. Get a little snow down the back of your neck too.
