rainy day, high mid sixties, food shopping this morning, then inside work this afternoon. Think I will start to plant/pot okra seeds, they go in the ground in May, along with melons. Some like it hot...
Couldn't resist picking these two radishes yesterday, went in last night's salad.
Hope you all have a nice day

21 right now (in Bethel)….high in the upper 40's and probability of rain today.
Well, home sweet home! Up late this morning since I take Suzette in for her last required follow-up visit to the hospital. She's doing good but occasionally runs out of steam.

51 degrees this morning, going for a sunny high of 79. Then supposed to be a rainy weekend. Turned the house HVAC from "heat" to "cool" yesterday afternoon for the first time this year.
Yep, I've sure been fighting that on our patio recently.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 33° with light rain this morning. Heading to 57° with rain continuing until after lunch. Got leaves clean up from garden pond yesterday. Plan to do more pond cleanup today.
Drew, nice radishes. We kept our boat at Erieau, Ontario, Canada for years. In the fields along road to the town they grew radishes. Some of the largest and sweetest I have ever tasted. The large ones were up to 2". The soil in this area was very black. Mostly peat.
Buckeye, sad when barns catch on fire.
Roy, hope your wife gets good report today.
Good Morning All.

Happy Anniversary. BEF.
56 outside this AM heading to the upper 60s. Raining.
Chased swallows out of barn this AM. Someone left a door open. I finished all new windows last week for that building. I lost count over 22. The packing material alone was a three day job to the dump. We had been searching for replacements for years. Finally found a company that made custom sizes. Very impressed.
Have a great weekend all. Be safe.
Up the road a house burned down...heat lamp for chicks in garage...probably.

Good Morning!!!! 53F @ 4:30AM. Rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High near 60F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch.
It was supposed to rain yesterday afternoon, so I got my outside work done before lunch. The new u-joint took some of the play out of the drive line on the side-by-side, but it's far from what it was the day it left the factory. It'll have to do for now, though. Changed the position of the shift lever on the van and now it's not such a reach to 3rd. I'll take it.
By 2PM there was still no sign of rain, not even on the radar map, and the weatherman had changed his mind. So I picked up where I left off on the poptop tent, a job I'd read was somewhat arduous. A Youtube video wasn't quite so negative, and once I'd located the correct screwdriver, it wasn't really that bad. The real challenge was the confined space at the back, made even worse by the need to only raise the roof a foot or two to make enough slack in the cloth to get it around the strip of aluminum molding that held it to the metal van roof. Things were going fine until the screwdriver tip dropped out of the driver and I had to spend almost an hour looking for it. It was in plain sight, but the color was close enough on the floor where it landed I couldn't see it until I crawled around on my hands and knees with a headlamp on. I also made the mistake of using stainless steel screws, and their soft heads meant some stripped out the Phillips slot before they made it all the way to tight. Sixty some screws later the task was done; I if I never have to do that again I won't be disappointed.
How many of you have a Chapman screwdriver set? This job, and many others over the years, would have been impossible without one. It not only fit into the low overhead space at the back of the van, it provided the leverage needed to turn the screws as they cut new threads in the metal. Only problem was I didn't have a gen-u-wine Chapman bit, which uses a pair of burrs to keep it in place, which is why I kept dropping the only bit I did have. I think I'll be doing some shopping today to correct that...:laughing:
Supposed to be more rain on the way for this morning, so I'll try to get the carb rebuild done. If it clears up enough by this afternoon I'll get the saws back out and torture my back some more.
TGIF folks!:drink:

RNG, glad you were able to get in tight spaces. Nice tools. Stripping screws is painful, can't believe I did that,
straighten up the bit, concentrate, and hopefully not strip the next one. Very cool to see your van coming together.
Your own true blue Westphalia.
decided to wait until after commuter traffic, usually around 8:30am when the school is open and everyone has to be in, including the late
speeders and tailgaters. Yeah, well it's your problem and back off my bumper please. Mumbled that a few times, or ten.
I'm not doing more than 38 in a 35 school zone and too bad if you want to go faster.
Cause an accident or worse hit a kid or a bus and you are legal toast if speeding.
Then you get the oblivious super senior floating along in an ancient Ford, here it's usually a peeling roof Taurus or a Mercury
who has kept the same speed 43 all the way down the 55 getting there, and doesn't adjust much once in the school zone.
Folks with dementia driving, I already had an accident with one, and there are lots more out there.
Really need to be a defensive driver not knowing what risk is ahead.
You guys with long driving commutes especially, be safe.
