Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 27ｰ with clear skies this morning. Heading to 59ｰ with sun all day. Got some trees trimmed yesterday. Cleaned up the yard . Plan to continue that today. May do some cleanup of garden pond. Fish are swimming around. Trying to get a pickup time with Walmart. No luck yet.
Number keep going up in Michigan.
Cases, 10791 cases, 417 deaths.
Over 75% of the cases and deaths are located in the 3 counties surrounding Detroit.
Oakland county 2183. Deaths 119.

80+ - 8% of cases, 34% of deaths

So many good pictures lately. Mr Cardinal, Moon, and young Gray Squirrels. There are 3 Black ones also. But have not caught them close together yet.


Eric, good pictures of pond.

Kyle, Leave it to Beaver.


RNG, I think some of the mask reports are mixing up which mask work. Cloth questionable, N95 and N99 are the best, and normal medical better than cloth. I will not leave my place without one. They are saying that most of the passing is from touching something with virus on it. Then touching face. So a mask may help.
Same with schools in Michigan.

Randy, hope monitor gets you good information to doctor.

Thomas, great picture. I think we all need a wishing well.

Everyone be safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Sad event near here, estranged husband shot killed his wife outside in her driveway( 3 kids inside), also shot and killed neighbor HS kid who was out in his yard. He later shot himself when cops showed up at his house.

We have everyone except for bear. But they drive so fast down county gravel road nobody would see what animals are on sign. Speed limit is 55+.

Light rain last night, too wet for much outside work. My dogs are on some kind of guard mission in the front yard... or maybe they are mad at each other...

53°F and light rain, going up to 71° today. Rain is forecast to be intermittent through the rest of today and into tomorrow.

Need to arrange a chicken feed pick-up at Tractor Supply. Probably do that tomorrow morning.

Wife was texting with her oldest son in Texas this morning and said they can't find TP anywhere. He asked if we could ship some to them. So, she hopped on Amazon, and has some on the way. I suggested that they get outside of the San Marcos / San Antonio / Austin markets and try some of the smaller towns. That's been successful for us around here.

Beautiful scenery, Eric.

Why can't your son order from Amazon?
I'v one son that used to work Mom like that, so he didn't have to pay.

46 going up to 54-rain, more rain. One of my fields is total mud, can't even walk there. Moved some gravel yesterday and starting prepping to get the pool bar in place. Platform has wheels and just have to mount the bar on the platform and drive it over with the tractor/clamp on forks.

Sorry to hear about the shooting buckeye, something similar happened to a good friend of mine a few years back. She got the gun to protect herself, he used it on her. Still can't believe it to this day...

They don't do online purchases, at all. Seems odd for their age group (mid- to late-20s), but that's how they are. That's why I suggested they try less-traveled places.
Interestingly enough, it's the younger son who does the "work Mom" thing, and he does it all the time. She usually succumbs to it, but lately has been telling him no. He works his Grandma the same way. I'd be embarrassed to be asking people for money all the time, but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. It's almost like he expects it.

back from shopping, got my gallon of paint. Then hit ATM and lastly the supermarket. Wore my mask everywhere,
guy coming out of supermarket asked me where I got my mask = online and months ago, another out of stock
He was wearing a plain white one.

Now off to paint that well pump shed on a nice sunny day

A rainy 36ºF for today's low. There was a brief intermission from the rain, but it returned and it is a rainy 41ºF presently, and I expect a rainy afternoon with high temperature hopefully in the mid40ºF's. Definitely hunker down weather. I do anticipate an afternoon P.O. and "supply" run to the wine & spirits store for a curbside pick up.

Randy- I hope the change in meds will be the solution for your afib good luck with the monitoring,

Steppenwolf and David- Thanks for sharing your dog pics and yes I too would not mind living a dog's life in the care of the company here. It was a battle of wills between Wifey and Brogen regarding sleeping on the sofa; and not surprisingly Wifey won.

David- Nice block work.

Eric- I really like the scenery and pond picture.

BEF- I am sorry to read your post about the murders/suicide. C-19 concerns are literally driving some people to the point of committing extreme and irrational behaviors. Sadly I expect more events like this one reported rather than less.

"... That's what I call Homeland Security."- Thomas I agree I love the picture and welcome to GM Walker450.

Paul- I am sorry to read about all the enabling behaviors reinforcing younger son's entitled begging.

Drew- I am happy to read that your apply run went w/o difficulties and have a nice day enjoying your sunshine and painting,

My + thoughts, prayers, and wishes.

I have his cousin

When I shopped for TP on Amazon recently, what was available with the name brands was VERY expensive, but there were a variety from companies I'd never heard about. None of them had very good reviews, so you might take some consolation that there's a very good chance that whatever paper your wife found, Paul, was crappy.

Sorry, couldn't resist.:laughing:

My wife sent a bunch of stuff with my son to his new apartment.

Yeah, me, too, Jay. It can be a tough tight rope to walk with stepchildren. Being "not-the-daddy," my role is limited to trying to offer the right advice (at least in my opinion).

65°F and no rain. A beautiful day in the neighborhood

Hope to get my block wall finished today. Have to make another PO run as yesterday’s was a bust. Might do transfer point as well.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[jbrumberg]

Paul you are in a classic no win family situation. IMO I am sure that your advise is solid which makes your situation even more frustrating.

With all the posts here regarding hearing loss I've decided that once, hopefully, this C-19 pandemic passes I will get a much needed hearing exam. I've been hearing Spring Peepers 24/7 throughout the year for far too long and lately I have trouble picking up conversations in almost any setting.

Curbside booze pick up is arranged and I need to make a PO run today. Hopefully my Amazon dried bean order is waiting.

 

[toppop52]

Still windy today, had a 42 mph gust just before dark yesterday and several over 30 today. 59f and wouldn’t be bad without the wind.

I put a suicide knob on my MF, both my tractors have hydro steering but I wanted to shorten the radius when mowing so I mounted it inside the rim. We will see how or if it works.

Catfish, egg noodles with cheese and broccoli for dinner tonight.

Have a good day and stay safe.

 

[sodamo]

Nice pic, Eric.

Mint or other herbs might be perfect, 42 little pots.
