Looks good. Is that your house up there?

Yea, the one with blue roof about center of pic.
The other blue roof to right of house is our cottage.

31 and headed for 39F. 30% chance of rain/snow. Wind SE 6 mph. Most likely it will be rain.

My new Mukluks came yesterday, now to break them in. Lined with rabbit fur including the feet and I put rabbit fur insoles in them.

I think today I will conserve energy.

Have a good day all

From someone either barefoot or in flip flops 95% of time those sound comfy

I suspect you neighbor problems aren稚 going to fade away.
Any chance you could file an information report with local PD?
Maybe you write up a detailed report of both incidents (before and after pics?). File a copy with the PD and send a copy registered mail to offending neighbor. Would put both on notice and negate neighbor pleading ignorance.

that's really good advice David, thank you.
I had the presence of mind to at least get a picture of him running right through my leased land.
the field area is basically two fields with a service road running down the middle, upper half and lower half. I did not want to lease more land than I could handle so I leased one long field length of land, and then half a length, the top part, next to it, stopping at the service road, a natural barrier. This guy wants to ignore the service road and just run his tractor the whole length, which he thinks is fine starting out on my land, in order to get to his land. No. I'm planting collards in there in March and then what? He has to make a dogleg around one marker pole, which makes for a tiny area not farmable. Not my problem. I walked this land with the owner, measured and staked, and this guy thinks boundary stakes don't apply to him.

It's a lawyer or the police. The best part is he says he banged on my house door before he started. What? Like that's permission? How about if I was out shopping, or down at the barn, as I was... I'm in the phone book and my name is at the end of the lane. All he had to do was call. But he's honestly really dumb and has quite a reputation locally.

Larro, that pic makes me sad, sorry for all your damage.

Toppop, keep having fun and don't hit an elk!

rain coming in later this morning, will rain into tomorrow, we could use the rain.
Temps staying in 40's and 50's. Then wondering what will happen this weekend, if that Mexican hurricane turns
into a Nor'Easter as they have predicted.

I picked up an oil filter for the larger Massey yesterday, will change the oil today with Rotella T5, and then this weekend will put it out at the end of lane with a for sale sign on it. Pricing it low and firm, basically wholesale pricing, want to sell it not display it. 11 grand for the tractor, 12 with brand new genuine Bush Hog on rear. Should be attractive to someone who doesn't mind shifting a fully manual tractor.

FDA approves new flu drug to reduce symptoms - CNN Video

a magic pill? The FDA approves it, now let's see if insurance will pay for it.
Curious to know what one pill costs...

if you get sick this winter, something to remember. I'm headed to my pharmacy today and will ask about it.
They don't have it of course but he and I get along great and I'll ask him to tell me when he gets official info on it.

Thanks Ron.

anyone who has never seen an okra plant, which I sure hadn't before I moved here, look at the far left in this pic.
The base of the okra is now almost two inches wide and woody brown. A little tree. I bet it's 12 feet tall now. Thankfully it bends...
Next week will be last week for it, then pull it all up and on to the burn pile. Plants have survived some light frost, a very durable vegetable.
I can only wonder if I plant it earlier next year, how tall will it grow?

Food pantry asked me to grow lots more, folks like my red colored okra along with the green. Would make for a nice holiday vegetable...if you liked it.
Think eggplant flavor. Am growing the same varieties, they all worked great, plus adding a few new varieties including Star of David okra, from ******. It is a smaller version of the big Beck's Big Buck Horn okra I grow. Lot of interesting foods, melons and cukes so far I've seen, come from ******.

I just finished reading about the new flu drug, Xofluza, before checking TBN. 48 degrees this morning going for a high of 71, and it's supposed to be sunny for a few days, just for a change.

Good Morning!!!! 61F @ 4:45AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 78F. Winds light and variable.

Just curious, Drew, I think I remember you saying the owner of the land you leased as passed on, right? If so, how does that impact the status of the lease? Maybe the numb skull on the tractor that keeps running your markers over has an agreement with whoever is owning/managing the property, and that is the source of the problem?

Supposed to get a call today from the propane company to let me know when they'll make a delivery. If it comes early enough, I'll head over to the coast today for a campout/Oktoberfest celebration with the Airhead motorcycle riders. If not, it'll be an early start tomorrow instead. The new/old bike doesn't have enough miles on it yet, to it'll be ol' reliable zebra bike for the trip. Always good to travel with an old friend...

Put the van on jack stands yesterday and took the wheels/tires in to Costco for balancing. I noticed taped on weights when I pulled the wheels off, so I did try to balance them. But my balancer is small, and apparently didn't work too well with the large wheel/tire combo. Hopefully Costco's did, and the shake in the steering wheel is now gone.

TGIF folks!:drink:
