Good morning!!!!

Laptop died? Did he lose everything? I have repaired my Dell a couple of times, and added memory. Much cheaper than new, but it is getting slower since the Win10 upgrade.
.

He moved everything to a new desktop computer a while back, and had reloaded the laptop from scratch, so didn’t have much on it.

New church camera really nice video. We stream live. People liked the slide show while waiting for the service to start. FB didnt like the music I played during the slide show. It was music by the kids college chorus. FB is muting it.

Streamed our church service last night, so spent today doing what Ellen wanted. Also made a recycling run. Then I oven fried chicken and fries, salad to go go with. Then we went for a nice long ride, Gracie as usual, slept through it.
Talked to my older brother, he’s recovering from double pneumonia, negative for Covid.
Couldn’t FaceTime mom today so I will try tomorrow.

Got down to 29 this morning and was below freezing for more than three hours. I think the flowers survived. Supposed to in the 80’s by later this week.

Ocean City opened the boardwalk and beach this weekend, but the weather and the fact the hotels and rentals are closed, kept the crowd down.

We are planning to start on the El Camino tomorrow, will need to mow in the next couple of days also.

Hummingbirds showed up a couple of weeks ago, sat on the deck and watched finches, a red headed woodpecker, buzzards soaring, an eagle passed over, and hundreds of other birds singing,one rabbit grazing in back. Found a mole the cats had dug up and undoubtedly played with until he died.

Have a good night guys. God Bless.

Got mowing about half done before I smoked the slip clutch. My fault as I was sensing maybe a bit loose, but I figured I’d finish mowing first then adjust. Nope. Caught a big tangle of heavy stuff, lifting deck wasn’t enough to disengage. Actually think I saw a piece of the clutch disc fly. When I stopped PTO, very visible gap and bolts loose. Back to the shed.
Thought I’d take 10 before repairing, but friend called that he was just minutes away from being here to pick up stuff I was lending him. An hour and half later I passed off the items up at the gate. Totally messed with my time planning.
Wife really enjoyed her steak and sweet potato (as did I). Had a fresh made salad instead of corn. 2 glasses of wine and my motivation to mow was sapped. FT calls from relatives sealed it - no more mowing today.
Enjoyed rest of afternoon losing Hand & Foot to wife.
In balance a great day.

42 right now...high in the upper 50's and a pretty good probability of rain today

Good morning, the temp is 27°F and going to 41. Wind NNE 11 mph. Looks like it is going to be sunny after the clouds leave.

Neighbour ladies' trees are moved. I skidded them down the road with the near end chained to the BH.

I am not sure what I will get up to today. I do have a horn that needs installing, and a lighter socket/power tap too.


Have a safe day all

Good morning all. If I hadn't looked at the thermometer and listened to the forecaster revealing how far this wind has come, I wouldn't have expected it to be quite so cold when I stepped out into the sunshine. It dropped to -2C/28F last night. My wife heard this arctic air was coming and started moving plants yesterday, now half the contents of her greenhouse are sharing the house with us.

RNG, good to see your genny in place. A lot of cost and effort, but must be very satisfying to finally see all your plans for a reliable electric supply really start to come together.

BEF, when does a lawn become a prairie ? Maybe one day you will have a herd of autonomous electric robot mowers to graze your grass while you sit in the shade to watch and think back on the days when you rode your own metal bison.
