Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

37 high of 52 late this afternoon no rain next week in forecast highs mostly in the 50s. Arrived in Va Beach last evening had dinner then watched ACC Tournament lots of talent. Up too early for me. While bridal shower is going on have no idea what I will do but would bet boats are involved

Prayers for all

Poured first cup of coffee. 14° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 40° with mostly cloudy skies. Most of the snow from yesterday has melted from the burst of sun that we got off and on yesterday. Did get other fender off trailer. Need to do some rust cleanup after I get fenders mounted. Then a new paint job. Should be good for another 30 years. Still have branches scattered all over front yard. Need to get them picked up before grass starts to grow. Maybe watch some NASCAR in afternoon.

David, Good pictures.

Randy, only thing we have ever done with Panera Bread was their bread bowls. Take them home and fill with Clam Chowder. :licking:

Drew, I had 2 MRI's this year. If I remember correctly. Medicare approved all $5600 on latest one. Most of it was paid by part B. $300 was paid by Medicare. BCBS paid $80. Both were about the same amount.

Prayers for all.

Good Morning All.

To those that want to see what Medicare is being billed and what is paid. Without getting all the papers in the mail. You can sign up for Medicare.gov. I have signed up works good. Wife tried to sign up. But somehow her info is not correct. Need to visit a SSA office to get it fixed. :confused3: We get piles of paper for her account.

Low 20's only heading to low 30's for the high. Partly cloudy. Looks like a good day to relax and enjoy the pellet stove.
61 trips around the sun yesterday.

Happy belated b壇ay Phil.

22 now, supposed to be near 40 later today. Steadily getting warmer all week. Supposed to be near 60 by next weekend.

Just not sure what I am going to get into today. Only thing for sure is a welding project this morning. Got a narrow window when the welder is available. A metal working skill I never have been able to do very well.

Got everything else done on the frame yesterday. Get the tab welded on today then off to paint.

Sure hope the weather does warm, wood pile is looking tiny.

Everyone have a safe and good day.

Good morning all. After what must for us be one of the longest ever periods of continuous windy weather, it has calmed down a little today, I can at last wear a hat without it being stolen by incessant gusts.

Looking across to the other side of the railway, we see a big old oak that has come down in our neighbour's barley field. A little sad to see the loss of a fine old tree in a place where it will never be replaced - even sadder for his combine if they miss any of the branches in the clear up.

JB, getting out of the door to chop wood must have put a big smile on your face. If the electric spliter is too slow, buy a kindling cracker and a big hammer. It is fast and immensely satisfying. Not as dangerous as chopping with an axe, only downside is the risk of developing biceps bigger than your shirts.

Ron as much stuff I get in the mail for Medicare about everything which could be done in one page typical waste of money. Will have to look into Medicare.gov

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 4:30AM. A mix of clouds and sun. High 73F. Winds light and variable.

First time this year it's been into the 70s. It's above average for this time of year, and I hope it doesn't foreshadow another blistering summer. I could use another few weeks of 60s, a very comfortable temperature for slinging around chainsaws and chunks of wood. Which is about all I did yesterday, until I was just too tired and sore to do any more.

Seems like a weldor could fab up some extensions that would bolt to the 3 point arms on the mowers and reach the lift arms on your tractor, Drew. Perhaps the Massey dealer could recommend one?


Yesterday I came across a rather large manzanita in the pile of downed trees. Manzanitas are usually no more than six inches in diameter, more like bushes than trees. But this one, holy smokes, it was easily twenty feet tall as well! As I cut the root ball off, I couldn't resist taking another cut for a slab that might someday get the additional attention needed to turn it into a trivit. It is a very hard, dense wood, much more so than oak, with a color similar to redwood. Maybe I shouldn't have sawn that trunk up for firewood, and instead made boards out of it?:confused3:

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!
