Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

Good Morning. It's 66° / 95% humidity and forecast says we get to 93° this afternoon.

I'm thinking of just putting my Beach Boys "Endless Summer" album on loop, in the tractor today, and play it continuously until Fall .... actually arrives.



I need to start cutting one pasture, with no livestock, today.

I did some more tree trimming, in this same pasture yesterday.



Drew ... glad your dinner went well. Safe travels.

BEF ... hope you can resolve your garage door issues.

Don ... great video.

Hope everyone has a great start to your weekend.

Prayers to all.

Good morning to all! Low last night was 38, going up to 68 today and sunny.

A cold front came across yesterday bringing some gusty winds and a couple of very brief sprinkles. They said a few snow flurries were possible, but that didn't happen.

Today will entail painting 3 doors for the pantry and utility closets in the cottage. They were initially back ordered, then the B/O was extended, then the style got discontinued. Had to get a similar but different style from a different manufacturer. The original doors were to be knotty pine stain grade. The new are paint grade. They will sure be better than looking at everything on the shelves and the water heater / plumbing, and valves.

BEF, hope you get the GDO problem figured out. Does the door go up and down easily without the opener attached? Maybe binding guide wheels?

Drew, the aftermath of the meal is proof that it was good! I'm glad you are enjoying your trip!

Rick, that album is one of my favorites. I think I wore off all the grooves on the record. About 25 years ago, I packaged up all of my LP's and sold them to a store for pennies on the dollar.....one of the worst things I ever did. Can't even find some of the songs off those albums....

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Prayers sent.

Checking In:

A clear and sunny 35ºF for today’s low temperature; a clear and sunny 52ºF presently,; and with all the sun today’s high temperature may reach the mid 50ºF’s. The (dried) black bean soup that I made last night was really good with homemade (smoked) turkey stock and the smoked pork butt that I purchased from the nearby smokehouse that I recently “discovered.” We’ll be eating this soup for a long time. . A beautiful day here to putter around outside. The weekly dump run accomplished.

BEF- Good luck with the GDO challenges.

Buppies- Good luck with your truck shopping.

Drew- I am happy that your guests and you had a great meal and those leftovers look to be good eats.

Randy- I am sorry to read about Ellen’s Dad, Mom, and Sister. My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers. I hope you enjoy the car show.

Don- Thanks for sharing your video. I know from personal experience that a rat snake’s bite hurts and they really do stink when agitated.

Rick- Thanks for sharing the pictures. It looks pretty dry down your way.

Ted- It reads like progress is really being made on the transition. I hope that your knee is is cooperating w/o too much discomfort. I am sorry to read about the BO’d door and the need for a second choice. “… They will sure be better than looking at everything on the shelves and the water heater / plumbing, and valves.” That’s what we dealt with when we first bought our house and along with no cabinets there were no closets, leaking home made double paned windows, no cellar, 3 old smokey wood stoves, and electric heat. It was obvious that the previous owners had a large male cat.

I hope that everyone is having a decent Saturday and that everyone can get some R&R this weekend.

My + thoughts and prayers.

Problem is the genie screw drive track. If I disconnect it travels fine.

Glad you got that fixed. Most of dads outbuilding wiring is older than me and not in good shape.
