Good morning!!!!

I can't imagine spending $20K for a UTV...unless it's this one.

218 Yamaha YXZ1R Pure Sport Side-by-Side - Model Home

Who am I kidding, maybe in my younger days....

I would be very content with AC and Heat nowadays.

CWB, they are very strict down here about not having them on our roads and highways. There are some loop holes having to do with getting from one agricultural area to another... But they keep tightening up the loop holes.

Apple Ipad question. Gen 2. Giving us a "needs activation" and won't complete it. Says the server is down.... WTHeck?

Kyle, that sounds very much like a job best taken to the thugs at the dealer who are equipped with both the tools and experience to deal with it, or at least are paid to cope with the unpleasantries.:confused2: Or maybe even better, a shop that specializes in hydraulics of all sorts, that isn't subject to the tyranny of using a particular brand of seals and o-rings and such, that can do the same magic for half the cost.

Computer wise, I had very much the same problem trying to get the newest of the AppleTVs to upgrade. It would NOT complete the update when connected via the network, but it would suck up and waste a gigabyte each time trying. Finally ended up connecting it to an Apple laptop and using iTunes to do the update. Perhaps there is a similar capability that would work with an iPad? Failing that, activation seems to indicate that the iPad has not been authorized, i.e. registered, with Apple as belonging to you and OK to download software from the mothership. That's an iCloud thing, so you might start poking around there to make sure that it's happy with the registration. May the Force be with you!:shocked:

Well, my IP chicken was beyond delicious. Not quite following the recipe, had to use Italian seasoning instead of basil, added some red pepper flakes, and gave it 15 minutes in hot oven to crisp up the skin a bit. The broth in bottom of the pot is gonna be a great start on chicken soup.
Looks like we may have talked sister in law and our cottage tenants into their own IP. Our Canadian friends that just left got theirs 2 days ago.

12 and going to a high of 46 and sunny. Wind SE 10 mph.

I have to go to the city (Markham) tomorrow, so I will leave here at about 2 A.M. (stupid o'clock) and it is supposed to rain tomorrow. I hope the rain holds off until I get south far enough that it is a softer rain than what we would get here. The meeting starts at 8 A.M., but I want to have breakfast on the way and before I get there. Motel room tomorrow night and an all you can eat Chinese food buffet, then up to the boat on Wednesday on the way home.

This will probably be my last post until Thursday.

Take care all

Good morning all, 33 now heading to 46. Will take today as it comes. Prayers for all in need, have a great day. Ed

To quote scooby doo, RUTT RO

What are your kids reaction to Ellen?

My kids did pretty well, my daughter and her daughter, both mid thirties, think it’s (weird). Mine is handling far better than hers. Both our sons are fine. We all knew each other before.

L4N, don't forget to ask for no MSG in the Chinese buffet...you must have an iron stomach...

32 going up to low 50's today in sun. Headed to Lowes for a few items.

Can anyone make a good recommendation on the best driveway pavement sealer to use?
I'm quite sure the "better" version at Lowes makes more sense, but anyone with experience here?
Going to do mine by myself, had horrible experience with local gypsies, they sprayed lightweight black watery junk all over and made
a mess. I want this pushed on with a squeegee....a big job, over a thousand feet, and my fireman helper will do most of the grunt work.
Some edges have been ruined by trucks, lot of repair work to do first.

My thread on basically how to grow corn has been an real eye opener. Started out all wrong with too many varieties, clearly corn is not like tomatoes..., and had quite a challenge trying to separate the various types, white, yellow, Indian, and then GMO/non GMO.
Will go over to my farmer neighbor today and try to find out what type of corn his tenant farmer will put in, corn is the rotation this year, not good timing with my corn right next to this big corn field. Well, as long as it grows and tastes good, that's good for me.
Am learning a lot about plant biology; plus friends sent me a book on this and that was last night's reading.

I remain amazed at the tap root set down by corn. One inch little green stalk above the ground, six inches of root below. I would oh so carefully dig the seedlings out of the tray and the roots would keep coming, and coming...

Good morning, met Ellens mom and dad, great folks! Mom has Alzhiemers but was having a good day. Dad showed me his tractors, all 23 of them! Plus a 29 MB kit car, home built children’s train with 12 cars, antique carriages, one repro built by Otis Marine. Hundreds of antique tools and toys, two whisky stills, etc...
I’m in love dad! LOL He is 81, looks 70 if that, walks like a 40 year old. He was impressed with how many antiques I recognized including the mini washing machines and mechanical rub board. Met her special needs sister who made my day with a big hug.
Invited back to see more stuff.
Now I know where Ellen gets her personality and sass!

Also went to nursing home and met mom and took the ladies fried chicken. Mom gave her a big hug and told her she was happy.
The fried chicken now has me another couple of girl friends.
