Hokie is school mascot VaTech Hokies my team by default father and wife went there my school had no football team

Thanks Jay and Toppop and Thomas

When i was in high school, i stayed a week at Va Tech for some kind of ag leadership program thru 4H. HS kids from all over the country attended. Their football stadium was small back then. Stayed in one of the stone covered dorms above the stadium.

So i can say i went to VA tech, for a week. Lol

2am, home from airport. They delayed flight because of storms in baltimore, so he got in an hr later. I was glad to wait the storm out before leaving.

Rain clouds passed over during the night to help keep the frost away. Now we are in full sun for the rest of the morning.

Hope everyone had fun hypnotising their chickens yesterday. I was wary of reading Jay's post after he'd seen that. I reckon he knows a few tricks on hypnosis and if he's feeling in a mischievous mood, with a few carefully written words he could have us all flapping our arms and clucking Good Morning each time we see a tractor.

LS, if your delivery driver asks Where are the eggs ...

That's the problem, Kyle, PG&E has already been caught diverting funds originally intended for line maintenance, sending them instead to boost shareholder returns. And the gas line that blew up in San Bruno a few years ago got them on probation, and the judge has been leveling more fines on them for their continued lack of maintenance as exposed in the aftermath investigations of the 2017 fires. It really stings the rate payers to know that their neglect in large part responsible for the fires, yet we're going to pay for the fines and lawsuits with higher rates instead of forcing change in the company management to actually address the problems.

Wow, Redneck, I had no idea that it was that bad. What a scandal, and all those people who suffered as a result!

48 right now...high in the low 60's and cloudy, but no rain. We'll see if that prediction holds up.

Dump run, oil change and haircut...after that, we'll see how it goes...

Drinking first cup of coffee. 46° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 62° with mostly cloudy skies. Got a couple projects done yesterday. Then went to neighbors and did some tree trimming. Got use the HF chainsaw. Works very well. Not as powerful as my Stihl. But I did not have pull on a starter cord. Hope to get a couple more small projects done. I am finding I did not write down some of the projects I have to do. But I am finding items purchased over the winter as I walk around shop and barn.

Buckeye, hope you get some sleep everyone gets up.

Check, we enjoyed our visit to HI over 30 years ago. Would like to do it again.

Kyle, did you show the chicken video to your kids?

Prayers for all in need.

Good Morning All.

Phil, you must be getting all my rain, it's dusty here now. And I'm back to watering trees and plants,
so maybe tonight some water will fall. Lot of thunderstorms coming in and around here they just pop up.

But those Texas sized rains can stay in Texas please, a five incher
would flood things here pretty well.
Two inches please. I'd like a nice two incher please.
Have at least a dozen new fruit and nut trees I'm tending and anything less than two inches of rain
means I hand water. Each has a water retention ring around the bottom so I just dump a two gallon
watering can into each one.

However, now that I've done it all manually with my five water cans,
it's time to fire up the water wagon. Time to bring the big guns out, 55 gallons on the roll. And I get to stay seated on
the garden tractor's seat and off my legs. I want to put a second repurposed tractor battery on the wagon so it can pump longer.

Have the new battery cables, waiting to take old battery off Super A to add to it.
parallel serial parallel serial will I ever remember which is which...and I even owned a Radio Shack for five years.
connect the hots to the hots and the nots to the nots.

warm day ahead, 68 already going to 88.
Summer has arrived, and it's the beginning of May.
Have a great weekend everyone.

prayers for all to be healthy or on the mend.

don't forget your sunscreen
