Frost on the roof this morning, which is proof the rain has finally stopped. I have a few replacement fence posts to knock in by hand and as saturated ground always requires fewer whacks to drive them in, I will make that my priority job for the day.
Ron, new camera is working well :thumbsup:
Michigan looks to be the place for taking pin sharp crane pics

Don, saw in your raised bed pic a mattock laying on the ground. That is one of my favourite tools, yet I very rarely see anyone else using one.
Before the rain started I made a start on a new curved flower bed for my wife. She had laid a hose pipe out to mark the edge and once I cut the line vertically, the mattock was perfect for cutting out the turf.
Earlier this year we had visited a garden where the lawn edge was kept neat and easy to trim with an edging strip of mild steel and my wife asked if I could do the same. Two bits of scrap wood proved useful at getting the soil level at 4" below the grass. I welded a couple of pieces of flat bar to the ends of each 4 metre steel strip so they could be slotted together, then once my wife was happy with it, I welded them all up permanently.

Good morning.
40 and going to a high of 52°F. Wind E 15 gusting to 31 mph. 100% chance of rain, heavy at times. We are expecting an inch of rain.
There goes my outside work, right out the window.
check: I am just the first to grow a pair and admit that I enjoy a near beer ocasionally and American beer does that for me.
Have a good day all

38 right now...high about 47 and rain...outside work probably not going to happen.
That walk behind snow blower went yesterday. Didn't get what I wanted for it, but I did want it gone...gave the spouse the money for expense.
No plans today...

70 warm and humid and rain paused. Should see 79 and maybe a thunderstorm.
Eric, real smart project...good idea making the slot...and nice looking soil.
Ron, I like your crane better than Eric's. (Where does he find those crazy pix?) Glad you got your insulation job done.
Randy, I saw Salisbury on a list of most desired affordable cities to live in. Picture of downtown looked real nice. Haven't been there in over 4 decades.

Poured second cup of coffee. 50° with light rain this morning. Heading to 57° with partly cloudy skies in afternoon. Got 1.25" of rain since yesterday afternoon. Lot of leaves have fallen. Will have to get blower out and clean up back patio. May get Trak-Vac hooked up to Lawnmower. Need to get house ready for contractor to repair and paint ceiling after last springs roof leaks. Then some NASCAR.
Wngsprd, Eric know where to find great Michigan Crane pictures.
Check and Looking, I kept my boat at Port Darlington for many years during the summer. Lots of talk after going out fishing each day. Beer always came up. One of was having chest pains when he drank Canadian beer. Someone suggested he try Bud. It stopped his chest pains. Every time I went home had to bring him back a case of cheap Yankee Beer.
Eric, I think I would be filling the trench with concrete. I do have a Mattock hanging somewhere in the barn.
Don, looks like lot of seat time to fill those raised beds.
Buckeye, check that is actually in the mail is a good thing. Glad you are slowly improving.
Roy, one less engine to maintain.
Drew, I like Blackberry preserves. Just bought an fresh jar of it from a local farmer.
Prayers and best wishes for all.
Good Morning All.

I Don’t live in town, but all is not glory and light there. It has improved mostly due to the growth of the university and the chicken industry.
