Good morning, the grass in the shade is still white over from last night's hard frost. We had the woodburner fired up for the first time in several weeks. I am always wary of bringing fire wood into the house after March, it gets burnt immediatly as this is the time of year when the mature woodworm emerge. The most common type can fly before laying their eggs, so it is all too easy to inadvertently invite unwelcome visitors.

A couple of days ago, while searching (and failing) for more detailed information on using Alder wood for piling in wet ground, I came across one potentially useful bit which said that woodworm prefer Alder over all other woods and that in times gone buy, it was placed in furniture drawers as sacrificial timber. Presumably it was periodically replaced, it didn't say how big a piece to use. Old knowledge like that could be very useful. I intend to cut some fresh this autumn and leave a bundle in our kitchen and living room, alongside where I place the wood baskets.

Bups, your bench looks super sturdy :thumbsup: The cutout on the front lipping is intriguing, what goes there ?
Now comes the most difficult part - deciding which of your collection will have the honour of firing the first round.

... I took a dive on a rug covering a concrete floor.

Back is better, but still a twinge on occasion...

Roy, good to hear your back is easing.
If still getting twinges, best leave the wetsuit off for a while, buy one of these instead

39 here going to 51 with sun today. Not sure on wind damage yet as it's still to dark to see. Will have to look around when I get back from work.

My wife is going to venture out today to see if she can grab some needed groceries. Need fresh fruits and vegetables. We're still good on other stuff.

Nice to see all the projects going on, we are still to wet in the yard to get anything going. We don't plant till after Memorial day with the threat of frost here till then. Cold likes to settle down into our valley. we've had snow as late as May here quite a bit. Usually melts quick but still sucks!

Glad your back is better Roy.Nice bench Buppies. Happy Birthday to all past and future! Hopefully not a lot of damage for you Thomas and Jay and the rest of those effected by this storm.
Everyone stay safe and healthy!
Here is a pic from our walk on Sunday. Mt. Monadnoc from our backyard and the next door golf course.

That is an awesome bench. Thanks for making it ambidextrous.

48 going to 59.

Rip, enjoy the fishing in your new pond. We got a lot of rain, but not that much.

Roy, glad you're better.

Phil, beautiful view...isn't Monadnock up in New Hampshire? That's a nice long view.

Step, your pic of Meadows of Dan is even prettier than I remembered. Haven't been out much recently, but best gas price I saw Sunday was 1.69.

Well, dump run today, and refill my diesel can. Wasn't planning on the dump run, but once Coco's barking ran him off the porch at midnight, where he was enjoying the sunflower seed storage, the bear walked over to our big plastic garbage cans and tried to get in before running off when I yelled. This was the first night I forgot to bring in the bird feeders, because the coons were getting them, and sure enough I see one on the ground. First bear of the year, and I was hiking in our woods for an hour yesterday afternoon and saw no signs. I'll check the game cams today.

It was a creek. But we had over two inches in less than one hour.

WoW, is that all rain?

 

[riptides]

46 outside this AM. Heading to mid 50's. Sort of breezy this AM. Need to dry out from yesterday.

The big noise around this time yesterday was another silver maple shedding a "branch". The trees were planted too close to the house and are 60 to 80 years old. Seems like every year one needs work.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 26ｰ with clear skies. Heading to 41ｰ with partly cloudy skies. Had to take birdhouse down yesterday because of winds. Going to put a better pipe in ground to support it today. May get chipper on tractor.
Had a Telehealth visit with my Dr. yesterday. Went well. Changed meds because of dizziness. Funny to me that I do not have dizziness when doing things outdoors. He said that is not unusual. Has to do with sun, air and activity.
Lonesome George and ducks like my garden pond.


Lots of good pictures from everyone. :thumbsup:

Roy, hope your back keeps getting better.

RNG, hope your hand digging is getting close to done. Your back needs a good rest.

Buppies, real nice bench.

Riptides, I have a silver maple in front yard. It drops branches everytime a wind event happens. Power lines are between house and tree. They keep it trimmed so no branches ever fall toward house.

Kyle, my pond has an aerator and full filter system. Should keep thing good in pond. I do vacuum it every week. If not I will put one of my Scarecrow sprinklers out.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the temp is 25°F and going to a high of 37. Wind WSW 11 mph. 40% chance of flurries.
We got about an inch of snow overnight.

Up to North Bay today and get the rest of the parts for the exhaust conversion and some groceries.


Have a safe and healthy day all

I forgot to tell you how beautiful your pond/rock work looks. Cool that ducks go in.

How did you technically do the telehealth visit? Just log into doctor's site by computer, or use a smartphone app, etc?

Hope Drew made it thru the storms

I had moved one of the trail cams up near the house a couple of days ago to learn the path the raccoon uses, and caught the bear at a distance. Damaged 2 hummingbird feeders, two steel hooks and left teeth holes in a cheap plastic sunflower tube feeder. Left the suet alone, and didn't spill any sunflower seeds from the storage can, but made cool dig marks. I'll check the better cams later.
