Good morning!!!!

[newbury]

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

How big is the largest one?
I'm thinking

Drew, and all you others suffering ailments, prayers for you. My cold or whatever it is, got much better overnight. Still scratchy but much better, less mucus and junk. I feel ok, never really felt that bad. I started gargling with salt water, that seemed to help a bunch. Still a little tender in my ear and throat on that side, but a major improvement.

Been to the bank, and set up some paperwork for the tractor and auto insurance.

53 and rain showers this morning, showers continue for the afternoon, mild through tomorrow, then 2-3 cold days, followed by a big warm up.

Have a good day guys!

Glad you're better.

Anybody heard from Don lately?

He's been AWOL since his last post on the 21st.

Thought sure Bill's comment about his meal being vegetarian, except for the turkey:laughing:, would get a rise out of Don, but not a peep.

Hope everything's OK...:confused3:

Yes, Can Don be getting that much seat time? Maybe he hit the lottery. Hope he's alright. Maybe upcoming freeze has him working overtime at gardens? Hope things are alright.

I wasn't really sure I could do it, but I survived 5 hours of yard work this morning. First I raked the front yard under that blasted live oak tree and bagged a bag and a half of acorns and leaves. Then I mowed front and back with the bagger and with the height set at next to the lowest setting possible, so that was another 6 and a half bags of clippings (4 mower bags to each contractor bag). Normal mowing with the EGO mower doesn't take long and the battery is more than enough to do the whole job, but mowing it short like I did this morning puts quite a load on the mower and I had to recharge that battery twice to get the job done. Anyway, I reckon we're about ready for summer, or as ready as we can be.

Bird, maybe I need one of those mowers with just one battery. That way, I'd get a rest too when it's charging.

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.

Oh gosh, cast iron would smell when you cut it, and then it would rust out the coolant.....Don't miss it one bit. I sanded on a pure molybdenum crucible today a little.

Did you have any leftover roast and mashed potatoes? That's one of my favorite meals....or roast with rice.

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!

Bill you won’t be bored over the next few days - by the time we get up there on Friday we will have a foot of snow on the ground. Snowblower time!

32 right now... High about 40 today and rain/snow showers...
Got a **** cold coming on...left work an hour early yesterday and, I think I'll call in today. I use Theraflu, which works good. The night stuff is great, but really knocks me out fast for the night.

Good morning, a wet slushy start to the day here.

These relentlessly soggy conditions are no real hardship compared to what those living next to the main river in the this county are facing. The river Severn has reached the top of both permanent and temporary flood barriers, though to the annoyance of some tv producers, they are still holding. I wouldn't want to be standing behind this temporary barrier if it did give way.

How big is the largest one?

:laughing: Have you been peeking in my shed ?

Sassy, don't worry, the human trainer will soon have Ron sorted.

good morning all.
Big pot of coffee made and fresh fruit chopped up for guests who are sleeping/snoring soundly.
I don't know how wife takes it, my friend is the loudest snorer, it comes through the walls of my house...remarkable but he's been like that forever and doesn't seem to bother the wife.

Dinner last night went well, meat loaf was pretty yummy, and we were so full not sure dessert was eaten, since I was asleep on my feet having been up since 3am. Friend's wife looked at me and said good night, she knows I am a serious morning person and awful at night. I'd been on my feet all day, everything hurt and I needed to go horizontal. Which I did and was asleep at 8pm. I told them I'm a terrible host and they just laughed. She finished up the kitchen cleaning and was nice to see it so organized this morning. Bagels, yogurt and fresh fruit for breakfast, then later on this morning they head North to DE.

a warm 55 out going up to 70 tonight and rain tonight. Then thankfully a dry spell for four or five days, which means I can get some things done outside.

Expensive week in the stock market. Down almost ten percent in one week, and if they don't get a better handle on
the Chinese flu, world economy impact will be very expensive to investments. I'm at 53 percent fixed income which
helps but every day account drops. They say Disneyworld/Land almost deserted, that can't be good. Big ripple effect from this.

going back for second cup of coffee, still half asleep. This is surely going to be a nap day.

 

[Buppies]

44 big cold snap coming storms this evening but not before high of 56 z turn to shop this morning office work going with wife to shop for supplemental insurance then help with more outside clean up bank almost done next phase pond side tree removal.

Prayers for all

Buppies, don't know if Virginia is different but as a retired insurance person, very happy with BC/BS supplement. Never have a copay anywhere, Not cheap at 5k per year total with Medicare and Part D drugs, but I sure get my money out of it. That's one MRI to put it in perspective.

Drinking second cup of coffee. 28° with snow this morning. Heading to 32° with continued snow. Already cleaned off walkways. Take Sassy in for grooming today. Part for belt sander came in. Repair is for angle table. That was broken when I got it 40 years ago. Still need to modify it to fit.
Muffin's visit to vet went OK. They do not recommend removing growth on a 15 year old dog. Got some antibiotics.
Squirrel is checking me out.


Eric, I am sure Sassy is going to appreciate me getting trained. :dance1:

Drew, sounds like dinner went good. You would fit in very well at my place. 8:00 pm is a good time to go to bed. Dogs think it's OK to.

Roy, get well soon.

Newbury, not that big. 20 Gallon.

David, bugs me the most when my plans are changed because item is not in stock. Now a days I look online to see who has the item I want in stock. With 3 big box stores within 5 miles of me I usually get what I want.

Buckeye, downsizing is a big job. I have started doing that in shop and barn. Not getting far. Neither son wants to talk about it. Maybe they should just have a auction or estate sale. Starting to realize keeping this place up is a lot of work. Not ready to give up yet. Good that your wife can help her parents get it done.

Jay hope you and wife are doing OK.

Good Morning All.
