41 right now...high about 65 today. Main chore is to mow the lawn...maybe some weed trimming. Since I wrote about it yesterday, I'll probably drop the chipper off the 3PH. I'd like to put the chipper in the garage for the winter...not sure if I can do enough re-arranging to do that. Boy, I wish I had an out building tall enough to stow all my gear! If I can't get it in the garage, I'll have to cover it with a tarp for the winter. If the chipper comes off...might as well rig the snow blower to the 3PH.
We'll see what actually gets done today...

Oh yeah...one thing I do like about this front blade (and the rubber wear bar) is it'll be a lot better to back drag snow from the garage and other areas...

A little damp first thing and going to be cloudy for most of the day, though with a bit of luck the rain has done with us for a while.

Youngest grandson was awake before day break. I heard my daughter up with him and was able to send her back to bed for a few more hours of sleep that are so precious to any parent with children who want to play instead of keep on dreaming. Yesterday he took a liking to my new cap.




Good to hear you are on the mend Randy.

Don, fancy dress for Halloween? What a marketing opportunity - just claim it's a modern twist on a witches cauldron and make a huge Instant Pot costume. Of course your wife is far too nice to be a witch - after giving you that second chance at life, she's more like a Queen of Hearts.

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 53° with a few clouds this morning. Heading to 61° with some rain in afternoon. Lawn got cut yesterday. Not much planned for today. NASCAR if it ever stops raining in Indianapolis.

Roy, nice blade I have similar on my tractor. But have the extra valves for front and rear blade. I have a thick rubber edge on mine. After 18 years of use it does not show much wear.

Eric, cute picture.

Randy, hope eye healing continues.

Don, been awhile since we had a Halloween party at our place. I remember one couple showed up with cardboard costumes. They had painted bricks on them with the words. Bricklayer and Brick. :ashamed: Maybe not appropriate for your community.

David, glad you got the bolt out.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

Marvelous picture Eric, you should get that framed.
Roy, if I were closer I'd come volunteer to drive that for you, nice rig.
We are going to rename you the SnowBuster!
and may all the snow go someplace else...

you all are making me nervous about this storm. I'm supposed to drive North on Wednesday.
How does one spell iffy?
this place floods too easily for me to leave even in a major rain event.
Last night they showed consistent winds Thursday night between 30 and 35mph for about ten hours.
In the night, the worst time. trees falling down...
well, that's why I have a backup gen and a tractor with a grapple.

My only task for today is changing the oil in the Generac gen. Nice easy job, gen might be getting some use
so good timing. I change oil once a year and due to running propane, it's always like new. But oil is cheap so I change it.

my friends from PA who visited own a coffee company, and Billy, you would have liked their house presents. Must be over ten pounds of assorted whole beans to grind, five different varieties. Enjoying a cup of Peets coffee right now.

cooked some bacon for breakfast, and no matter how awfully unhealthy it looks while cooking, swimming in fat...
sure is yummy when done. I only eat bacon about once a month, bought it for guests and we didn't eat it.
I'll use the rest for flavoring cooking. Everything Goes Better With Bacon says a small sign in a friend's kitchen...

Hope you all have a great day and remember to tell your family you love them.
Every wife should get a Sunday Smooch.

Eric, that's a good looking future farmer there. And the old one ain't bad.:laughing:

62 and a hard rain...been raining all night, based on the number of times I kept waking up. . Should only hit 72 and more rain.

Roy, you'll need lots of extra snow to play with that cool blade.

Eric, the cap fits perfectly...a chip off the old block.

Drew, thanks for the reminder to take the generator out and test start it and get prepared. I'll have to check the records, but don't think mine needs an oil change.

Ron, Brick and Bricklayer - that's a good one.

Got the rest of the mowing done yesterday.

Kyle, rather than carrying 10 gallons to David, I'm going on the monthly payment plan...I'm gonna mail him a quart of diesel each month.

weather forecast keeps getting worse here. Now a bullseye on me, four days of rain, major floods and headed right where I wanted to drive to.
Very unlikely I'm going anywhere.
In fact headed to store before the hordes and will pick up some more milk. Fun to watch people buy ten loaves of bread at a time.
Really? You eat that much bread?

Am guessing the Outer Banks will get evacuated, should know soon.

At least you have your supply of coffee.

Plans for today...quick trip to super market,mow main lawn,watch little football and nascar,puttering,check game cams.
Notice small spike under apple tree this morning w/no velvet...another sign autumn around the corner.

Enjoy the day all.

59 high of 65 .95 in of rain yesterday and last night. The models are still dancing Drew but Monday should start to tell the tale. If I were betting Myrtle Beach to Wilmington is the zone to watch and if it travels inland then I’m in trouble. Remember to the right is the strongest part of the storm and so far the euro has been more spot on so I’d pay attention to that one until we get closer then look for short range models


Ron Halloween party sounds fun

Handsome grandson Eric

Prayers for all those in harms way those in need and silent requests
