Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

Drew you did not ask my opinion but here it is

I do not like games you folks agreed to a price now a revision he feels you are in a weakened position personally I would counter by raising the price and move on the buyer will never be satisfied. We are still in a sellers market there will be others. If you agree to this there will be more I believe

We have a lot of floating duckweed in the pond this year....There is always a new "weed de l' anné

Good morning all !

... or should that be

Bonjour à tous !


Way too long since schooldays for me to understand much in French, but now I am almost looking forward to practicing my French/Texan accent next time a "weed de l' année" arrives

Trees are shaking too much, my anemometer for whether I can spray.

:thumbsup: Yes, trees are perfect for that, with no batteries to replace and so considerate of the weeds to stop growing after autumn

The other wind exception for me is when it is totally calm. Partially that is because without a steady breeze, it is all too easy to breath in herbicide. Most of all though I would sooner use those rare occasionas on the range to test how well different reload recipees will group.

That point on fencing plyers does same thing, beat it under a stubborn staples.

The pointy thing on fencing plyers is something I will never use again again after using a dedicated tool - it is soooo much easier.

...Most of the electricity from the panels during the morning wasn't used because the batteries recharged overnight from the grid

Two acre wildfire not far south of here yesterday, quickly put out. Could of been real bad in the strong winds we had yesterday afternoon.

RNG, when you started seriously looking at off grid power, one of the main considerations was to have a way to hold the batteries fully charged when you anticipated a fire could be on it's way to you, just in case your generator stopped running while the grid was off. Did they install a switch to make it easy to do this ?

I guess it is going to take a few practice runs for you to instinctively throw any other breakers to get into low power mode should that desperate situation ever arrive. Unlike Apollo 13, you don't have a mission control to help you manage the power, yet your life is going to be just as dependant on the ability to use power sparingly as it was for those astronauts. The good news is that you won't have to worry about re-entry angles

70 outside this AM. Heading to 90. These are the pool days. The water is like a warm bath. So I will take advantage of it.

Buckeye...old pics with no info are lost history treasures.

Drew...increase the price and move on from those people.

I submitted to multiple requests and got my hair cut after at least six months of avoiding it. Took two inches off. I was sad to lose my power. Lol.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

61F cloudy mid 70's for high on/off rains showers,as Roy said good soaking rain thus far. :dance1:

Another month slip by quickly.
Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
Really no plans for today,may roll the generator outside for some run time and some limbs/branches other than that :confused3:

Enjoy the day.

67 going to 90 here, too.

Kyle, nice decoration on your radiator fan.

Thomas, you reminded me I need to do the same - roll out the generator and give it some run time.

Rick, we need to help remind you when it's time to go for pizza. I'm gonna guess they don't deliver out where you are, like here. Funny, the first time we went back into a restaurant, last week, was for pizza.

Mowed for over 3 hours yesterday, but had things come up, so still have things on my list.

Drink first cup of coffee. 57° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 88° with plenty of sun. Got caulk and some primer on barn doors yesterday. Need to make a trip Menards for some more caulk today. Never got to moving wood chips for neighbor. She was not home. But he needed help putting up a ceiling fan. Need to remind myself to not buy a Harbor Breeze Fan. What a pain to install. The Hunter that I put up over the winter was able to be done by me with no help. Garden weeding and more barn priming on list today.
Lilies of different types and colors are blooming in yard.

Drew, problem with Realtors is even the listing agent is on the Buyers side. Neighbor along road that borders my place. Put his place up for sale yesterday. $363,000. If the place is worth that much. I must be sitting on a gold mine.

RNG, barn will be same color.

PJ, I buy my oil at Sams or Costco. Mobil 1. Less than $30. They both sell their own brand full synthetic for half the Mobil 1 price. K&N oil filter is $5.

Kyle, I have not purchased any of the Menard branded tools. They have a good selection of the brand names. Like RS mentioned. Always a good selection to lumber. Plus you can drive your vehicle into lumber yard and pickup load. Nice for landscape material.

:welcome: K5lwq to GM.

Everyone be safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Good morning! It did not cool down much last night 79˚F before sunrise heading well into the 90s. I suspect the attic is still hot, but I got 3 hours to complete the project.

Drew Was the price dependent on the appraisal? - if you agreed to a price take his $5k deposit and put it back on the market - you know he will not find anything unique as yours. If you do counter don't go down less than $5K, just to give him an out for his foolishness. You are doing so good you could move back in with a bed, table and a few chairs. I agree with Ron - listing agent is on the side of the buyer, the one with the money makes them money - priority to close the deal quickly.

Getting ready for new law ($1000 fine) Face mask Friday.

Yeah, they want a sale and the proceeds.

Ron, I am sitting on a mine shaft. LOL. (not really LOL). It's a hard thought process right now, and in a few years I am sure the sale thinking will consume me.

Paper money always looks good.
