Very nice it matches the ocean surrounding your island.:laughing:

Nice looking tractor David! We are looking forward to hearing about your new adventures with this new toy .. er tool.

Checking in from Watkins Glen by way of the Cornell Ornithology Lab. It's been HHH weather with episodic sun, rain showers, T-Storms, and strong storm cells with torrential rains. 82ºF presently. Interesting driving; beautiful scenery; no real traffic on the highways and byways.

Williamsport, PA was nailed by T-storms and straight line winds over the weekend. Many neighborhoods had significant tree damage. The funeral was well attended. The funeral procession really tied up the typical citywide traffic patterns. I caught up with many of my childhood friends; one in particular has anywhere from 2 months to 2 years to live according to the specialists. He's a tough hombre; I hope and pray he proves the specialists wrong. He has great attitude.

Lynn, Wngsprd and David- any/all pictures of snow is appreciated.

We will be home tomorrow. Hopefully the barbecue joint on the way home will be open. Friday I need to restart my healthy dietary practices and start losing the excess poundage.

BEF- Take care.

DABSGT- Congratulations on getting the 2N running; enjoy the lake.

Drew- Good luck with your rear hatch. Our Forester's rear hatch has a mind of its own; especially after it visits the dealership. Cars and trucks are getting too fancy with all the added gizmos that are supposed to make operations easier (when they work as expected).

David- I am happy to read that you and Sophie made it home safe and sound. Congratulations on the new tractor. A nice looking rig. I hope it works to your expectations.

How can the Bank of America be the Bank of America when there are no kiosks to be found anywhere in the USA? Internet searches with BOA's website could not find any nearby, local anywhere throughout our recent multi-state travels. Even when home it is a +30 mile drive to get to a kiosk. We'd drop them in a heartbeat if we were not so tied into their financial accounts and functions.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Good evening all. Yesterdays weather 74F for the start, moderate wind, partly cloudy. Sky cleared off mid-morning, wind increased more than forecast, Clouds came back, and high temp of 91F. Went fishing with neighbor, first time with the boat, and him. He caught a small bluegill, I was skunked, had minor issue with live well over flowing into the bilge area. Wind was a negative influence on fishing. Went for bike ride after fishing, then lunch and nap.
Cool pic Billy, always did like caves.
Bird hope you got good results for test.
RNG hope your fourth goes well.
TED hope the knee injection works and have fun with the Cub Cadet:thumbsup:
Sorry to hear about Lee Iococa.
Rick nice rainbow.
Drew, dealer gives first oil change free, here.

Today 72F for the start, partly cloudy, light wind. Wind uneven through the day, blew 5 mph or 15 mph not much transition. Clouded up like it would rain but didno and high temp of 91F again. Will be seeing temp increase after tomorrow. Men's meeting, bike ride, and clean up boat to watch fireworks tomorrow night. Short nap and work on fishing gear.
Rick, that is one big oil pan!!
Yea for women's soccer:cool2:
Lynn go to home page, is in the article section. Nice barn:thumbsup:
David, nice tractor!!
PJ that was a magical transformation
Prayers for all and a safe fourth celebration

Wow, so much to catch up on.

Eric, I believe with the stiff penalties and jail time if caught, I'd be putting in a remote controlled security gate.

Don, google Liberty Hill sewage. Seems they are getting sewage in the San Gabriel.

BEF, hope the meds continue making you better. Might check into some probiotics while you're on anti biotics.

Ted, swollen knee injections sound very painful. Hope they work. Jay, yours too.

Hawkeye, prayers for your daughter's sight to keep getting better.

Sodamo, thanks for sharing. Home sweet home. If I leave on vacation, will there be a new tractor at my house when I get back???

Prayers for the rest of youz guyz too.

Listened to a recording of Paul Harvey talking about the men who signed the declaration. It didn't end well for almost all of them. Many lost everything, some gave their fortunes to the good guys....and they never got re-payed.

 

[Eric Salop]

Eric, I have a friend from Liverpool (lives in Widnes now) - whose name is also Paul Smith - who lost a bet on that game, and now has an American flag as the background picture on his Facebook page. Some of his friends have been giving him a lot of grief over it, but his reply was, "Hey, a bet is a bet."

PJ, they always say, never make a bet you aren't prepared to loose. Your namesake sounds like a good looser.

The 4th of July is just an ordinary work day in the UK, yet we don't mind at all that most of you will be off celebrating Independence - this country has had 243 years to practice being a good looser

David, how good did it feel this morning to be home again and waking up to a shiny new blue tractor that looks as eager as a puppy to go and explore it 's surroundings ?

DABSGT :thumbsup: . Keep that special screwdriver handy for when Drew gets to 72.

 

[Buppies]

Happy 4th of July to all hazy hot and humid great weather to celebrate American Independence

73 high of 88 today storms possible

Prayers for all in need

Good morning all and Happy July 4th.
Hot and sticky here today, windows are fogged up, headed into 90's again today with thunderstorms predicted.
I'll be in the garden early watering, maybe that will make it rain.

No great plans for today, might go down to the River tonight to watch the fireworks but I'm usually falling asleep by then.
Alternatively, one can watch live fireworks online in the comfort of one's recliner. in this case, there is an app for that.
However, to feel the whump of a big shell going off never comes through the speakers, that you have to feel live.
I have, and now I admit I like the air-conditioning...

Personally worried about bad things happening during July 4th spectacle in Washington DC.
Not worried about elsewhere, all the press and sensation given to the use of M-1 tanks, etc etc will waken up the loonies
and out they come. Really am glad I live in the country. I bet most of you do too.

and to make you smile, big guys...., enjoy this:

"...that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

What wonderful words to start a new nation. Thank you Founding Fathers.

Independence Day!

Happy 4th of July, All!

55 right now...high about 90...good day to stay in which is my plan.
No fireworks for me...haven't cared much for them in years.
Like Drew, I'm concerned about the celebration in Washington. There are some really vicious thugs...brownshirts, if you will, in this country right now. However, pulling a stunt like they did in Portland...well, there's going to be a lot of law enforcement and military on hand and any attempts to disrupt the celebration may have dire results for anyone foolish enough to do so.

Thanks, how do I see the newsletter?

Here is the link I got. Somewhere there is a place to sign up for the Newsletter in an email.

 

[Thomas]

61F now good chance 90F for high.

Outside chores are done enjoying E muffin.
Plans for today...Mrs. going to send me to town for several things than after that take the day as it comes,but this I am sure of with the 3H's weather you'll find me in cool spot.

Safe and pleasant 4th all...enjoy.

That was quite the commentary, I wish it would be repeated more.
The many individuals that gave everything including health and freedom so that this country could be born.
So many people don't think about the cost that our founding fathers paid for us to have a great nation.

Best wishes to all on our Independence Day.

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 62° with partly cloudy skies. Heading to 86° with PM thunderstorms. Got the lawn cut in late afternoon when humidity dropped down to 18%. Pull a few garden weeds. Visited with neighbor. Loaned him my Ice Machine. He is having a second shoulder surgery Monday. Going to do the garden pond maintenance I did not do Sunday today. The do some yard puttering.

HAPPY 4th of JULY !!!!

Randy, Buckeye, LS and other keep on the healing path. Prayers sent.

Drew, glad you got oil change free. Wait you get the bill for skipping out on paying bill.

David, glad your home. Nice tractor. Need Alaska pictures.

Jay, we left B of A many years ago when they bounced a check that we had way more than enough money in checking account to cover it. No offer to pay late fees or send letter to payee. Sorry you are stuck with them. Hope your trip home is safe.

Cat, the snow pictures helped me feel better about the heat.

Good Morning All.

What happened to the signers of the Declaration.mpg - YouTube

Happy 4th of July!

Roy, hope your wife is feeling better.

Waiting for mine to make coffee. She actually doesn't like it when I make it....(not strong enough).

I plan to do some mowing, weed eating, possibly bush hogging/slashing, then later throw something on the pit. Maybe just simple, good old' American hot dogs.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! Happy 4th! 77˚ before sun and gettting to mid 90s.

My wife has a special dish planed, I think something like baby back ribs where no body parts are used, this ought to be interesting.

Instead of a run to the garden yesterday i did the yard so this morning I'll go gather cucumbers. The tomatoes have stopped producing so they might need to come out.

I also hope everyone behaves in Washington today.

Does anyone remember which day Randy said his wedding was in 8 days?

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low of 52, going to 90. No chances of rain / storms until Saturday and Sunday.

Maybe get a chance to go to the neighbor's to assemble her tractor today. The knee was swollen yesterday and was difficult to bend yesterday. This morning it's a little better, so hopefully it will continue to be cooperative and I'll be able to move around better. She said she is "not in any hurry" so maybe I'll wait a couple more days.

Happy 4th to everyone, special thanks to those defending our rights both today and in the past!

I do enjoy being present at fireworks displays, but now I really can't stand the crowds and traffic. We live on top of a "hill", and can see for miles around (peeking around the trees) so I watch fireworks from a distance. The big display will be on TV. Hopefully there won't be any idiots out there starting wildfires.

Maybe some hamburgers and HD's on the grill later. We'll talk / FaceTime with the kids since they will be off from work.

Everyone have a great day, take it easy, and be safe! Prayers sent out for those needing.

 

[riptides]

Happy fourth!

Ron, thanks for the link, odd the pics and link are many years old.

Hope all enjoy the day and evening!
