32 right now...high in the mid-40's today..
I'd posted about a deer in the back yard yesterday. Surprisingly, she was back this morning...very calmly looking around. I'd almost say she was domesticated.

Good morning to all! Low only at 36, going up to 62. Overcast now, good chance of showers around 12-3 pm. ...or is that 1-4? .... Eastern NM and N. Texas will get more rain.

I got a coat of primer and paint on one side on my neighbor ‘ s canopy, I will finish up the rest of the paint today and take it over to him.

FedEx left the mower sitting in Albuquerque since Friday, so I guess I will not see it until tomorrow for sure. That will let me finish up some other things before the new toy arrives

Rick, I hope you get a chance to play with the new hydraulics! T&T is on my list. Those cylinders are expensive! .... maybe in the budget for next year.

Eric, the lambs are cute! Are those 2 twins? On average, how many lambs do you get per year? How many do you keep for future breeding?

RNG, hope you can get some flight time today... and more videos.... :thumbsup:

My son did get the garage floor stained yesterday, I did not help at all. I think it turned out pretty good... pics will follow. I am not sure if he can put the acrylic top coat on today or if it has to cure for a while.

Everyone have a great day!

Mixed level clouds and hazy sun at the time of today’s breezy low of 24ºF with windchill ~ 15ºF. Increasing sun all morning and it is presently a breezy 38ºF resulting is a windchill ~ 30ºF. Another beautiful day to enjoy. Ice/snowpack is mostly gone in the open areas and subsurface springs are starting to flow in the lower field. It looks like I will no longer need crampons outdoors in the near future.

The new replacement compressor arrived with the included remote unable to link with its compressor, but the old remote could; and once I got everything connected it appears that the new replacement compressor is defective.. I went through the testing process and confirmed the defect. I could use the old compressor and the new one each dedicated to an air bladder as each seems to have one compressor pump/hose that can hold pressure. Another PITA call to SelectComfort® tomorrow.

I’ve seen some early Spring birds this week. A small flock of male robins came through 2 days ago and I saw a a Song Sparrow here yesterday.

Roy- I forgot to complement your new pistol.

Eric- Good luck with your hearing aids, and thanks for sharing your livestock pictures.

Kyle- Good luck with the bridge and stocking moat.

Like RonJH I was always getting sick from traveling and my work in longterm care facilities.

RNG- Good luck with the flight practiceUploading and editing my drone videos required a lot of downtime with the uploading. The YouTube editor usually made the video quality worse.

Rick- It’s a lot more fun to crash and/or lose a cheap drone than a real expensive one.

Drew- At this point it would probably be best to stay at home and not risk exposure and/or exposing yourself and others. Too much is not known about the COVID-19 virus.

Bill- Thanks for the laugh.

Billy- Headless mode really works well, but it makes the operator unable to truly pilot the aircraft in the event the function fails and the operator must rely on his/her piloting skills. I got into the bad habit of manually backing in with my final approach and landings. Many fly-a-ways are due to the owner/operator being too reliant on the flight controller’s functions.

Ted- I hope that you get your new rotary mower sooner than later.

I hope that everyone is having a decent Sunday as planned.

My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

Plenty of rain in the night, the sound of it lashing against the window woke me up twice. Fortunately there was plenty of space under cover for the first returning ewes and their offspring. After being sheepless for a week, it is something of a novelty to be out feeding them again this morning.

Kyle, a moat around your own house, that's so posh ! Making a bridge with kids sounds great fun. You could even have a Draw Bridge - no extra woodwork required, just a daughter with a talent for art

Posh to me would be, having sheep to count every night to aid in going to sleep. Eric, does the train have to blow it's horn much near you? Can you hear it from afar? We have tracks about 2 miles from us and I hear them in the background....unless it is very windy with the wind blowing from us towards the tracks.

No alligators. I have almost been eaten by a 12' alligator when I was 9 or 10. Some thin chicken wire/rebar kept it from making me a snack. Also, they eat chickens. No water in the "moat" which is actually a drainage swale.

Maybe some land sharks?

The chickens are laying eggs at a great rate. Garden is growing. Need to fertilize potatoes now that they are sprouting well.

I planted some mountain laurel beans a month ago or so and the first sprout is coming up.

My buddy's 14 year old doggie passed away. She was a good one.

Sunday school went well.

Rick sorry about the crappy hole. Here's an an old trick. Take a short 1/4" diameter x 6" long piece of round bar (preferably brass or aluminum), cut a thin slot starting from the end about an inch back, long enough to stick the emory cloth in the slot and wind it around the shaft in the correct direction. Put it in an pneumatic die grinder rotary tool, place the wound up emory cloth end in your problem hole and spin her up. We call them "whip" sticks in the industry. The shaft will center itself and the emory goes to town. Every minute or so, peel a slight amount off the worn out end of the emory cloth.

Hope this makes since.

Prayers for our team mates who need them.

Drew, I know it's tough having to make a decision like that.

According to the Checker at the local grocery store the famous but unknown "THEY" are telling people to stock up for a two months supply of groceries and goods to be ready for a two month quarantine.
Stores are out of alcohol 60%+, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, dried beans and rice. How are the stores in your area?
