Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Touched 70 today, light wind and gorgeous. I mixed up some glyphosate and sprayed the driveway, turnouts and around the perimeter of the woods.
Flower shopping was a bust, only Lowes had a lot of stock and everyone had too many people.
Picked up cat food and litter, came home and went to work.

Ha, leave the water drops on it it looks like a messy sneeze, and highly contagious.

That faceshield was pretty gross before I cleaned it. I knew the droplets would be commented upon; I am not surprised at the observer.

I was thinking of doing a bandolier pic, but even for me that would have been particularly poor. I hope that in better times that we can laugh .


I hope that I do not have to need the setup. I think that we are going 3 week shutdown here.

Good evening all. 43F for the start, overcast, light breeze. Wind stayed light, overcast all day, and high temp was 63F. Happy Palm Sunday to you all. Slow start, did watch chapel's live stream, and revived the fire in insert. Watch recorded news, cooked breakfast for wife, cooked lunch, chicken with apricot glaze, green beans, and rice. :licking: Did go for bike ride today, didn't start till almost 3 so only did 20 m. No nap today.
Buckeye hope your Palm Sunday Service went well.
Eric, may be slow, but powered by porridge is the most reliable, keep the blade sharp.
Bill, little warm for snow isn't it?
Rich glad you got some seat time, and the driveway shows it.
Mike UMCP?
Ron it depends on level of training. When I am prepping for week long ride I try to ride 6 days a week, and if I get weathered out will do some time on stationary trainer. If just doing general maintenance then will shift riding days around weather.
Billy sorry to hear about your TP vendor, hope you have a Dare I say it , cushion, (no pun intended).
Ted, nice update, sound like your neighbor is getting another tractor.
David sounds like your mental health day is spending time with your spouse, I do enjoy my wifey time.
Buckeye glad you were able to clear the glitch up, maybe make a check list for audio end.
Jay that should get you plenty of clearance.
Kyle, think you could get a pressure carb to work, like off a big chainsaw?
Hawkeye, interesting problem on FB maybe try your FB account next time?
Thomas BooBoo back?
Buckeye, guy can't be very smart, restaurants are scale way back, probably fewer cash transactions as well. :confused2:
David there is a lot of room to move around cars!
Ted - nice pics
Randy, nice spray rig, sorry you struck out on flowers.
Jay my face shield has not been cleaned or used in over 10 years!
prayers for all.
stay safe and healthy.

Snow melted, temps got up to 52F, sun was trying to shine, winds were light... so asked family if they wanted to have a fire out back and roast some marshmellows... yay! Got a fire going, sat around it and enjoyed being outside for awhile.. got a nice bed of coals to roast the marshmellows and had some smores. Grand daughter is new to roasting so she had a blast helping get the fire going and roasting the marshmellows. We all had a nice distraction..

We have no idea where our portable fire ring thing is (nice 'bowl' with legs and screen we got for camping when there is not a fire ring at campsite). Just used a low spot on edge of lawn, worked just fine. We had some good laughs, remembered when we were on the Oregon coast 9 years ago and our young daughters were disappointed that we had not had a beach fire and roasted marshmellows. I bought some briquettes/lighter fluid at the store and we roasted marshmellows on the hibachi where we were staying.. they even heated the gram crackers with chocolate on the grill while roasting the marshmellow... made for a really nice melted smore.

Kyle I agree. A homemade QA should be no challenge for RNG and far cheaper. Think I last paid about $100 for my last one. It needs to be carefully removed from old quick hitch and welded to new one.

Been down that road already with scrap steel and a pair of recycled fork tines. See the link below for the gruesome details.

I think for now, I'll maybe just take that wheel off and put the mixer on the TPH. That way I can load and mix, then just roll the barrel over the forms and dump it. It'll be a lot of jumping on and off the tractor, but easier than using the wheelbarrow. Then regroup and look at what projects would be next, and what would be the best tool for the job...

Back to work....

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, temp is 29°F and the high will be 50. Wind; calm. A mix of sun and cloud.

My syrup guy is delivering 5 Litres of syrup today...$70.oo in total works out to $14.oo/L

A bank run is in the cards for today and maybe the hardware store again.


Have a healthy day all

Good morning. Our two week "drought" is over, will let this unpredicted rain shower blow over before I go and check the rest of the sheep.

Porridge Power! It's how I start every day, Eric. Are you a milk or a water porridge person

My preference is to add only water to the oats, cook slowly in a pan, then let it cool slightly until it goes solid. In my youth I would add sugar or treacle, also went through a phase of copying my Scottish neighbour and adding only salt. I have long since been weaned off any additives, many will think that produces extremely bland breakfast food and I would agree, there is something about simple food that is hard to explain.

My wife got me to stop taking sugar in tea or coffee some years ago by refusing to include it on her shopping list. At first I couldn't wait to get back to work to enjoy a drink with added sweetness, then within a week or two I had to stop spooning it in as my taste buds soon changed.

Do you like your coffee with or without ?


Hawkeye, your fire sounded great fun, you are lucky in these times to have family with you.

I never took a selfie before ....

Jay, does your wife still not suspect that Darth Vader was your lovechild ?
