Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

45 and raining. Going to 59.

Wildflowers sound nice, Buppies.

BEF, hope FIL getting better.

Took Coco for a long birthday hike and swim yesterday. She turned 6. Then decided to take it mostly easy and play frisbee and dokken.

Wife just got there. So I’m by myself for a few days.
I drove the BAT mobile to work so she could take my Subaru.
A good friends Father just passed away.
Rain today, but in 40s to 50s.

My wife’s parents have been cleaning up, getting rid of stuff to prepare for moving to town. Now with her dad’s stroke, her mom wants to get house on the market.
Neighbors already told them they want to buy it, then sell theirs.

Everything he needs is on one level with this house. My recommendation is let him get better first, before throwing a move into the mix.

Ahhhh, plumbing. Just love taking time to plan it out, make a list of what’s needed only to get in the store and find at least 1 or 2 of the critical fittings out of stock and having to reconfigure on the fly. Wife gets annoyed that I never take back any extra fittings. Just never know when they’ll come in handy. Yesterday got a call from a neighbor in dire need of a 2inch screw in cap. I didn’t have one. But I did have. 2in male adapter, a 2 inch glue on cap, a 3 inch length of 2 inch pvc, and appropriate cement. Not elegant, but functional.

It’s that time of year.

That was my thought as well.

I have plastic totes. Marked, electrical, plumbing, hydraulic and plastic fittings. Largest one is plastic fittings. It’s full.

I asked the receptionist at the accountants what she thought would be the price from the courier to deliver the package 75 miles away and she about crapped her knickers when I told her 51.oo+. The whole trip was uneventful. Borrrrringggg!

I try to keep mine somewhat organized by size as well. Periodically (currently overdue) I sort thru them.

Got about as much done I can without taking everything onsite and actually putting in place. Think I have a logical plan and Canada Dave agrees so tomorrow.

Still 53°, foggy now instead of rain. Car club meeting tonight, prepping for our busiest show season in years.
Have a good night guys.

Good evening all. 41F for the start, partly cloudy, light breeze. Wind picked way up, sky became more cloudy in afternoon, and high temp was 56F. This morning was another slow start, general puttering until bike ride time, nap and pick up a few round for firewood that were offered to me. Walked Scooter to conclude workday
I remember coolant tanks well. We would machine some cast iron which added to aroma and left sludge on bottom of tank, fun to remove.
Drew hope you do not need to resort to current plan B. Good luck with you consultations and epidural.
Rick latest here is snow possible overnight, may not last until dawn.
Buppies hope hole heals quickly.
Thomas gotta take care of deer and the Mrs
RNG sounds like propane line is good, hope the conduit holds.
PJ might have to do with fewer distractions for both dog and owner during in-home training?
Ted sounds like midwest weather, changes by the minute
Hawkeye, sorry about your computer account misbehaving, glad you will get some wifey face time and FIL doing better.
Drew probably depends on how much of sour cream or butter you use.
Randy good to hear cold is better, hope gone before weather changes.
Bird, still need to do the scalp but with snow forecast for tonight it is hard to get motivated for summer.
Buckeye, sorry to hear you are doing without wife, and condolences on loss of friend's father. FIL will do better with minimal changes until he is more recovered.
randy hope you still have hair and health at end of season.
prayers for all.
