Good morning, the temp is 16°F and going to 43. Wind calm. Sunny.

Town & dump run today and order a new power washer.

That is about 'it' for today. Tomorrow I'll get after the lean-to.


Have a safe day all

47 going to 63 and rain this afternoon.

Glad you guys seem to have the tractor puzzle figured out. I just thought RNG's camera was busted. RNG, have a safe trip up to Medford.

Did another grocery store pickup yesterday, this time at Food Lion...nothing too strange...several substitutions, no TP, but did get some Kleenex, although I'd never seen this "Grand" size before, which was substituted for regular. My wife got a couple of text messages from the "picker" while they were filling the order to ask about whether specific substitutes were acceptable.

Got about 3 hours of mowing done before this rain comes in. A neighbor on our road put his house up for sale...didn't know he had struck oil on his property. I guess if he gets his asking price, all boats will rise with his tide. Best wishes for him.

Good morning, the sun is shining and ... same same same. At best we get only half hearted wisps of white that have no intention of releasing any raindrops. Some of you must be accustomed to these conditions, for me I'm not sure if it was seeing another empty sky or the sight of Ron's rodents that has brought on groundhog day weather blues

Rick, your tree cleanup is going well. In the background of the last pic, looks like there could be a few more to keep you busy. I hadn't heard of yaupon before, now each time I see a herbicide label listing clopyralid, I think of the lostcreek-stump-killer !

"shame you can't screen directly into tractor bucket". Thanks for the thought Mostly, I am ok for tractor time at the moment and opted to accumulate maximum manual labour brownie points, with 4 or 5 barrow loads of soil each evening. Should help keep me in my wife's good books for a few more days

David, please say thanks to Sophie for the double rainbow pic. Great to see proper clouds too !

Drew, good to hear the epidural went well.

JB, I'm beginning to get the feeling you will miss all the dressing up when this virus is over

LS, you have really transformed your garden area over the last week or so. Do you have somewhere in shade to sit out and enjoy it ?
The flowers your wife asked about are primulas (primula veris), otherwise know as cowslips. A few grow wild around here, I will have a look when I am out to see if they are also in flower. Primula veris - Wikipedia

Wng, with negative prices per barrel, it is a good job your neighbor only struck metaphorical oil. If you had a mega windfall, would you want to move ?

Good morning all.
warmer morning, 50's now and going up with rain coming in through tomorrow.
Mostly, they say one week for the meds to be fully absorbed. Hurt when I got home, but they told me it would.
Better this morning, though I'm not going to "test it" much for sure.

Covid count up to 16, expect it to rise now that test kits are finally here. So far, no fatalities.
Not much planned for today other than 4pm telephone appt with endocrinologist about my enlarged adrenal glands.
Some packing boxes I ordered came in yesterday, might start packing some things today, good job on a rainy day.
Hope you all have a good day.

Like Eric wrote - Striking oil in this day and time could be more like a detriment than a benefit.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 34ｰ with light rain this morning. Heading to 47ｰ with more rain in afternoon. House is as clean as I will get it. Going to paint birdhouses today. Good chance to partice using face mask and gloves. No other plans.
CV numbers keep going up in my county. 6500 cases, 530 deaths. They are now allowing CV testing without symptoms and Dr prescription. :thumbsup:


Kyle, one of the articles I read on Scorpions mentioned that having a lot of crickets around attracts Scorpions. Groundhogs are a problem if they are digging in a field where larger anminals are or around buildings. The one in picture comes out of the small woods east of my house. If I start seeing it close to house. It will find out how well my 22 rifle is sighted in.

RNG, I watched a few of the setup videos on the DJI Mini. Ready to do hands on with or without help.

LS, graden looks very good.

Buckeye, I thought RNG posted that he is not getting a new tractor. Hope you get more work at home.

Rick, nice clean up.

David, a TSC stores in HI. What else could a tractor owner want?

Drew, hope your treatment last a long time.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning! 55˚F heading to the 80s clear skies.

Ron, our county corvid-19 cases started out about the same but we now have just 158 total cases in the county and 5 deaths. The count consistently goes up by 2-7 per day and now we have more people that have recovered than have it. There are no cases in our zip code. Your county numbers are like our state numbers.

Texas is easing off restrictions and this morning is the first "relaxed" restriction in the neighborhood and I'm in the first wave. The gardens open up 1/8 of the beds at 8AM-11AM. I will take out the winter greens and plant potatoes. Next week the tomatoes go in. Some of the other outdoor clubs are submitting plans to get approval to open back up.
