A sticky 68 right now...high in the low 70's and rain right now.
Other then a dump run and buying beer, looks like catching up on TV and such is the plan of the day.
Trip to CT went OK...seminar (about a SPC/Quality Management package was interesting.

Bad day at local John Deere dealer. 5 tractors caught fire for unknown reason. Fire department was able to keep the building from burning.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 67° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 84° with chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Up way to early this morning. Arm is bothering me. Tractor is ready to cut fields today. Will have to wait and see if it gets dry enough.

RNG, visiting a our SOS offices ( DMV here is Secretary of State) can be a real hassle. In recent years it has been modernized to almost all digital including getting in line to be served. Works well except on Wednesday. Offices are open until 7:00 pm. Instead of the normal 5:00 pm. On that day they have 1/2 the staff come in 3 hours later than normal. Forget getting anything done during the first 3 and last 2 hours of day. Plus the backup of customers by noon from the delays in the morning. I made that mistake last year. :confused3: After waiting 2 hours and my number was still at 2 hours wait. I left and returned on Thursday. About a 10 minute wait. I still wonder how people get in line that do not have a smart phone or know how to use a computer.

Drew, sorry your Dr. visit never happened. I have a MRI scheduled for Monday morning. But did not get any calls like I normally do for these types of visits yesterday. May end up being a wasted trip.

Hawkeye, hope tire replacements goes good today.

LS, hope your knee gets better. My sleep pattern has been bad for a few years. Sit down to watch TV about 7 pm. But fall asleep before to long. Wake up between 9 and 10. Go to bed but cannot go to sleep. Takes until 12 to 1 am to fall asleep. Then may sleep until 4 or 5 am. I have stopped fighting it and just go with what I get.

Kyle, I fought knocked down mailboxes for about 10 years. Finally put in a 6" pipe post with a 90° angle and cross bar for 2 mailboxes. It has been there 35 year now. I feel for anyone that hits the brick mailbox at neighbors places.

Good Morning All.

Went to backdoor to let dog in from her morning walk. She was barking at the Sandhill Cranes making there calls, They were extra loud today because of the light fog amplifying the sound. For those that have never heard them. Here is short video from Youtube.

Another day, another chance for really bad decisions.
Flip it and say a great day to be alive and make a difference.

Cooler out this AM. Rain chances throughout the day. Will work on run in today. No one around for next few days so no overhead work or working with stuff like chainsaws.

Have a great start to the weekend. Be safe.

Oh, they are here but they hide tractors for themselves. I see one every once in a while by the gardens or on the golf corse. I need to do a little investigating.

Hit 101˚ yesterday same predicted today, so ready for a cold front to push through.

Strength & stretch class in AC this morning with 30 neighbors.

Whipper got very excited last night as a coyote trotted behind the house not heading her barks. A neighbor put a spotlight on it which really got Whipper excited and we had to bring her in to calm her down and go to sleep. A neighbors cat is missing.

Kyle the neighborhood south of us has about 500 large brick/stone mailboxes close to the road. Along with trees, utility poles etc. . . . that's why they make air bags. I could see your concern for a 70 MPH road but isn't yours a 30 MPH road? I had a heavy metal mailbox with a breakaway base, it took more than a bat to push it over.
