Good morning!!!!

[farmeratheart]

Good morning All. What a difference a day makes! Yesterday was HHH with no breeze and a high near 90. After the cold front roared through with t’storms last night, the air has changed to much drier and high temps today of 79. Hope all that are healing continue to improve. Frank

I think most of us on the Eastern side are feeling some nice cooler breezes today, drier air.
I spent my morning walking farmer's soybean and corn fields this morning with Ag Extension group, wind was whipping right along at 10-15mph,
all the corn was rustling away, just a gorgeous blue sky and standing in the middle of a corn field. Simply marvelous.
Soybeans involved a test plot, 75+ varieties of soybeans, planted two rows at a time. They keep checking to see what works best, what is
resistant to this year's pest. Reminds me of flu vaccine work. Need to keep current for sure.
Should have taken pics, all that dark green corn was pretty. Wasn't yet at tassle but ag agent cut apart several stalks for us and we could see
the innards of the plant, the corn cob could be found with magnification.

Don, what a nice job, used the best stuff, and it should literally last forever since the sun doesn't hit it.
The very toughest job for traditional varnish apparently was on
the spar of the old wooden ships, so the very best varnish was called spar varnish.
That still seems to be in use today. Although now it's part plastic and infinitely more durable.

now need to check on fruit in orchard. Since I got those two plums before, might be more
I need to pay attention to. I also need to check for bugs and fire blight. Mean world out there for fruit trees.

Good morning! 79˚F heading to the high 90s. Early morning clouds. Painting in the oven was non eventful which is always good. I used a 6" foam roller followed by a brush to get in the boards grove and to smooth out the roller marks. The sheen I chose was SATIN. Three ceiling coats in a day is a job for the young but it's done now. I get to strike another project off the list after I put the fan blades back on and remove the blue tape this morning.

I hate summers in Texas. It was down to 80 degrees early this morning (the low for the day) when I did the string trimming and edging on the yard. Then I stopped to go to my credit union to get some cash and to Walmart for just a few groceries. And then back to the yard work; mowing with the bagger. 85 to 90 degrees, but fortunately a bit of a south breeze. I figure the next comfortable day, weather and temperature wise, will be sometime in September.

Thanks Drew, that is so obvious now you have explained it. I grew up thinking it was a brand name and never stopped to ponder why a grocery chain called SPAR would produce tough varnish.

:duh:

Good morning all. Hope everyone enjoyed that extra long day yesterday. It is a sobering thought that at summer solstice + 1, we are now on the rundown to winter.
More spot spraying of weeds for me today. I need to be more generous with the insect repellent when I go out today, yesterday something bit me just below the brim of my Tiley hat. When I woke up, my fingers were convinced it had left a lump the size of a hens egg, then looked in the mirror to see a swelling only the size of half a pea.

LS, great sunrise pic ( I was going to ask if it was the smoke bending the sunlight, or did you buy the glazing for that window at a really good price ? Thought I better not though, as that would be too cheeky. )

RNG, I can see how it would be easier to eliminate the viscous coupler, but when did you last take the easy route ?
I'm sure you will do your best to keep that original "Intelligent" drive system - and it may save a bit of tire rubber if you ever forget to disengage it manually.
If you can't find any old plates, is there someone out there that is cutting new ones with a laser ?
