Good morning!!!!

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Kyle have you tried to use over ripe bananas as an ice-cream base. it will take on the flavors you add. Start by freezing the bananas.

Yes, we make smoothies regularly. There's just something about Greek yogurt and it's "twang".

Kyle ..... only thing better than an A/C cab ..... would be frozen yogurt in an A/C cab.

I just stuffed myself with some. But I still wish I had a cab.

55°F and cloudy skies this morning, going up to 81° today. More rain coming starting tomorrow for like the next year-and-a-half or something. Jeez, we really could use a break from the water around here.

Got lots of stuff done over the weekend. Lots of mowing, and a bunch of piddly things I've been pushing aside for too long. Neighbors horses were "supervising" again. Pulled the tractor out Saturday afternoon and washed it. Man, was it dirty, and just from sitting. Was finally able to get out in the pasture to get it cut yesterday. First time this year. Some of the grass was four to five feet tall. On the bright side, other than about four thistle plants I saw, it's all good grass out there now.

Met up with a bunch of friends Sunday evening at The Lemp Mansion Restaurant in STL for their all-you-can-eat family-style fried chicken dinner. There was way too much food, and it was all delicious. It was also great fun hanging out with my strange musician friends (4 guitar players, 2 bass players, 2 drummers, 1 club owner, and wives and girlfriends). Haven't done that for awhile. (Wife and I sitting under the mirror)

Congrats on the new tractor, David.

Hope Randy is well.

PJ, looks like a crew I could enjoy their company and their talents. Would offer just a guess, but were any of those nice looking ladies possibly groupies at one time or another??? It would be cool to hear all of them play an "unplugged" type event in a quiet location.

Went to see doctor about my cough, have pneumonia.

OH My, hope your meds help and recover soon. Keep us posted. Prayers.

That's how my wife makes smoothies. Yum.

Yes, yumm.

Poured second cup of coffee. 50ï½° with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 75ï½° with chance of evening showers. Vet visit went well. Got 4 gallons of weed killer down. Wind came up during last gallon. Hope it did not spread too far. Need to cut lawn again. It is almost over Sassy's head. Some trimming on trees.

All control of Sassy went out the door yesterday after son and family came over. Came over to check their trailer for damage from hail the other day. Yea right. Going to be a very spoiled dog.

Looking, hope your summer goes well.

Mostly, nice car. interior is great. Sorry but blue will not fit in our garage.

PJ, your group can come play for us anytime. :thumbsup:

Buckeye and Randy, Get well soon. Prayers sent.

Don, drink lots of water and wear gloves.

Kyle, how are things going since surgery. Hope your stomach pains are gone.

Rick, you get your tractor way to dirty.

RNG, thanks for the trip report.

Good Morning All.

I am much better Ron, thank you for asking. AFAICT, I'm back to where I should be. I do limit spicy foods to some degree. I don't go for full burner spice much.

Hi folks, still kicking, still in the hospital, will probably go to rehab from here if my preferred rehab place has a bed. Still not able to stand or walk properly, but improving with a lot of pain and strain.
I hope you are all well and I will check in soon.
Prayers for my friends.

So glad to hear. don't curse your therapist when they have you "on the rack". One day at a time. I still need to bring my couch by and let you "gold hat" point fingers and tell me how to recover it.

Mostly I like the blue.

RNG, I love that rainbow pic. Glad you had a good ride. I saw a moto guzzi on the road this morning. Looked like the rider was a beginner. Kind of squirrely at low speeds.

We got a "tad" of rain. Maybe a tenth. We need some. They say the system is coming up here from the bay of campeche, but I don't know if will head to Houston and bypass us or not.

Drew, glad you got some nice help.

Prayers for all.

Thanks for the top view.

I was going to ask why you did the brink but then I saw the end of the pipe.
Great idea to know where the pipe is and you ever need to get to the pipe... THERE IT IS !

I will keep the idea in my mind for future use.

Thanks

Good Evening. Got 1" of rain mid afternoon and a bit more this evening. Haven't checked gauge since about 5 p.m.

Temperature dropped from 93° to 78° in about 20 minutes when rain started.

More coming tomorrow.

I was on the New Holland, mowing at back of ranch, when the rain started about 3:30 p.m. It had been so dusty that the first rain turned the dust on cab side windows to mud that I couldn't see thru. I was in an area with many trees and low limbs so, had to sit there for about 10 minutes till the heavy rain finally washed the side windows off enough to see, to head home. I got soaked, opening and closing two gates to get back to the shop.

Good evening to all.

49 right now...high about 70 and probable thunderstorms...

 

[riptides]

56 outside this AM. Heading to lower 80's. Looks like a great ideal pool day. Needs a good cleaning since I weed whacked the perimeter. Should have had more concrete on the windy side. Could have saved me when I cut the grass. Lol.
Hope all mend quickly. Be safe.

Good morning all. A stiff breeze this morning, which may explain why more swallows than usual are swooping around the relative calm of the yard. These look to be the older birds, incredible flyers that effortlessly manoeuvre right up to buildings to catch their breakfast. It can't be long now before their offspring take to the air too. They provide a good excuse for my minimal window cleaning - it's hard enough for them to learn to fly in order to catch breakfast, without me adding to their troubles by making our window panes invisible.

Ron, Sassy is almost invisible too against your floor tiles - careful where you step !

Great to hear you are on the road to recovery Randy.

good morning all.
Toppop, hope you slept well. We will all be with you in PT this morning. Get better and get home for better food!

Plain old Guatemalan coffee this morning, hits the spot, waiting for sun to come up. Need to take some cabbages and tomatoes to food pantry this morning
plus the collards the ladies picked yesterday. Food pantry does main distribution on Tuesday but minor communities by food van on Thursday, so my veggies are going out in the van to about 30 families who live in an area so remote there isn't a supermarket there.

Rick, picture of you sitting in your tractor waiting for mud to run off, I had to smile, now that's dusty! You might need to change your cab air filters sooner than expected; do you do that once a year?

Need to go see dermatologist promptly, found something nasty in middle of back last night, where I can't see well, right next to where they cut out a melanoma before. I see him every six months anyway but often have to go more often.

69 going to 86 today, ten day shows thunderstorms or showers just about every day.
Summer has arrived and the lawn is back to growing like mad

Told my weedeater/landscape guy I was going to sell the Super A and he immediately asked that I talk to him first, he was interested.
Like a right of passage around here to own one of these, they are everywhere.
I spent 2500 on the tractor, put 2k into it, and will get 2500 back when I sell it. Just like the next guy will.

Sweet spot for old iron. Bought and sold my Farmall Cub for the same price. But it took a lot of my blood with it. LOL.
