Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Andrew always nice to hear from you.

Don't remember hearing from Irv lately. And we aren't forgetting Ed.
You too Larro. And Mossroads. And our buddies from New Zealand and Australia.

Still don't understand why there isn't anyone from Mexico, Central or South America here. Net availability I'm sure is
an issue.

52 going to 83...yesterday got to 85 on a 77 forecast, so who knows what we'll get today before the big storm hits tomorrow.

Ron, I haven't seen any lanternflies but I had read an article to keep an eye out for them.

Andrew, nice to have you and your goats back. We used to milk our goats.

Thomas and Jay, I've been getting bears on my trail cams again the past week. Fortunately none have come closer than 100 yards to the house (that I know of!).

Good Morning!!!! 56F @ 4:30AM. Sunny. High 83F. Winds light and variable.

Hope all of our less frequent visitors are well and still tractoring...

Housework yesterday morning, dusting and cleaning for guests over the weekend. And now they're calling for rain on Saturday; looks like motorcycle movies on the big screen instead of bench racing around the campfire...

Got the bed liner on the spare tire holder yesterday, then noticed in better light that it was pretty thin in some areas:confused3:

Rest of day was spent moving shims around on the transaxle and front differential. I think the ex-mechanic used the wrong motor mount. More work needed. I also found that the inclinometer on the iPhone isn't very repeatable, so a real one is on its way from Amazon.

Town run for parts, groceries, and fuel, then more cleaning, mostly in the garage...

Speaking of wildlife, a couple of screenshots from my son’s Ring camera in Front Royal, VA.

57, headed to 82, worked on my pavers, more to do. Had a meeting last night that ran overtime, someone always wants to hear themselves talk.
No hedgehog here, just multiple fat groundhogs.
Going to take mom some fried chicken today, not sure how much she can eat, but it’s about her favorite. I always take enough for her roommate to have. Her one roommate passed away last week.
Got to get moving, have a good one, prayers for all.

No bears on my cameras yet. Most of Michigan's Black bear population is in the Upper Peninsula. It's rare to see one south of Bay City. Current population is suppose to be 14k. With 90% of them in the UP.

61 degrees this morning, going for a gradually clearing 68. I sometimes feel a bit sorry for the weather forecasters. When they forecast things that don't happen, people accuse them of being incompetent, but if a storm happens that they did NOT forecast . . . well, they really get criticized. So yesterday they were forecasting hail up to baseball size, high winds, possibly some tornadoes, heavy rain, etc., mostly after 7 p.m. Schools and colleges cancelled activities, even city governing bodies cancelled meetings. However, the Texas Rangers Los Angeles Angels baseball game started at 7:05 p.m. and lasted until about 10:30 p.m. with still no bad weather. It finally rained around midnight. I got about .85" in my gauge.:laughing: I understand we had a little bit of thunder and lightning, but if so, I slept through it and see no signs of any damage in this area.

Wow. That's a pretty big prankster there playing ring-and-run. :-D

Good Morning. It's 60°F and storms still passing thru, since about 2:30 a.m. I haven't checked the rain gauges yet but, I'm guessing at least 1 1/2" ..... so far. Looks like all will pass thru here by about 9 a.m. then sunshine and 79°F forecasted.

No big plans for today, maybe some road grading later. Roads and driveways grade much better ...... with some moisture.

Welcome back Andrew!

No bears here.

Everyone have a great "Good Friday Eve" and Easter Weekend.

Pro Hint: It's not about bunnies and colored eggs.

Prayers to all.
