Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

71 and thick skunk-perfume-filled fog. Going to 83 and maybe storms.

Unfortunately, Coco took a skunk shot in the face this morning while we were out. I saw it with a flashlight (Eric, a torch) and thought it was a cat, but the nose doesn't lie. I need to read up on the best way to wash her...heard tomato juice doesn't really work...don't have any anyway. I'm glad the smell isn't extremely objectionable to me, just mildly offensive. I've always thought a certain major coffee chain with a green logo had coffee that smelled like skunk, and I used to drink a lot of it.

PJ, real nice looking job on that deck.

Roy, enjoy that nice warm weather while you can.

Changed the hydraulic fluid and filter on the tractor yesterday. Don't understand why, but it took almost 4 hours for all 4 drain bolt holes to drip dry and then get the new fluid poured in. I did a few other things in between, like greasing.

Taking my wife's vehicle in for inspection this morning.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 64° with partly cloudy skies. Heading to 83° with afternoon thunderstorms. Now that the snow blade is on tractor. Not much else to do today. Sit back and relax. Enjoy the last warm days before fall really arrives.

Roy, glad audit is going good.

Looking, lots of liquids and rest. Get well soon. Maybe some chicken soup.

PJ, moving your step son to Breese. Do you think that is far enough. Best of luck with the move.

Drew, no oaks in my yard. We do not have any Hickory tree either. But squirrels crack open hickory husk all over the place. They leave a nice brown stain wherever they are dropped.

Kyle, I use Power Service year around. Which reminds me to make a trip to Wally World and get a new bottle.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

Oh Boy! I remember some long threads about getting rid of Skunk smell on TBN some years ago. Maybe some Febreze Fabric for anything Coco touches. But not on the face. I found that Febreze Fabric works to get Diesel smell off a pair of my work gloves.

Power Service and Pri-D. Some of the smelliest compounds known to man, probably seriously toxic, and my do
they work well on your diesels. My old Detroits in the boat always started easily and I think it's because I had them liberally dosed
with Pri D which raises the cetane a little. I like additives now because they add a lubricating agent for the fuel pump and whatever else needs lubricating along the line.

I've been blowing them off the driveway every day for the past week or 10 days. You bet, Bird, and they go crunchety crunch under the golf cart tires. I'm headed out shortly with my gas powered pull behind blower to send all those acorns or parts of them flying back into the woods at hopefully high speed... It's where my driveway is in full shade by the woods.

Yesterday I washed the house, all the decks and both garages, sprayed the driveway and briars along the woods line with the tractor, also washed clothes, watered plants, took the cushions off the deck furniture, now today I need to mow the grass.
Very warm and humid this morning, 74 with 99% humidity. 82 or so today, rain from the storm later this week, then fall arrives.

I have a skunk coming at night eating the outdoor cat food and leaving the feeding box smelling like skunk. Wish I knew how to get rid of him.
Drew, nothing smells much worse than skunk or gear oil, I’ve never been able to get the smell of gear oil out of clothing.
You folks with colds and other ailments, get well soon.
Good day, God bless.

Saw this yesterday and thought of Eric.

Coldest morning of the season so far 19°. Yesterday was in the mid 30's with light snow showers most of the day. It's clear this morning but they are say it's going to become cloudy with a. 50% chance of more snow this afternoon with the high in the 30's.

A neighbor called yesterday afternoon and needed help loading some things on a trailer. He going back to Denver in a few days for the winter. He is trying to leave by the weekend. He is only up here about five months of the year. I'll be helping him off and on for few day.

Making a trip into town this morning. Have a few things I would like to get done when we get back.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

Wng. The only thing that has worked for my house dog that’s been sprayed twice this summer has been.
1quart peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tablespoon Dawn dish soap.

It has taken us about 4 baths over 2 weeks each time to get the smell off that dog. But my wife is very sensitive to the smell. To me it stinks but it’s not gagging. I won’t let the dog in the house though.

72 this morning and headed to 84. Last warm dry day looks like.

Birds are gone. Now the real work begins. Finish washing today and help horse riding program get hay in barn. Then maybe time to put litter in windrows.

Drew, if you bought the wrong mower, you can drop it off at my house.
