Good morning all 69 going up to 81-rain, rain, rain
Finished clean up of the trees/branches -about 6 hours of work so far

Rick-no treadmill needed-good news!
Drew-sounds like you are toughing out the chemo well and good to hear your brother is clear of covid-numbers have been pretty stable here-dinty moore-that still exists :-0
K5-hope they fix this "glitch" soon-will they let you pay bills etc. until they get this worked out?
RNG-looks like you're getting the solar tamed-like reading about the fire truck updates
Ron - buck portrait looks great-thanks for sharing
Moss-what a story-hope this all works out for you-life can take some turns-good luck with the Gravely!

Stay safe and be well.

Progresso offers a low sodium version of many of their soups, so I try to purchase those. But not all flavors, and I can hardly say no to their clam chowder...

yes, low salt Progresso a good idea, but if any can or box says more than 800mg of salt, back it goes...also have to watch fat grams
I had to order another can opener after realizing I couldn't open the tomato can I bought since the opener didn't make it to the rv...got a battery operated
one that goes on top, new design, much smaller, manual ones hard on my arthritic hands

Eric, my decision with hard hats is whether to White, Blue or Yellow.
Ron, White hats are for bosses. You got to keep your eyes on them ,they are always up to something. Yellow hats are for good working people. Blue??? I 'm not sure about.

The Wife has been playing around with painting lately. She was an art major in high school, but then studied accounting in college and went that direction for a career. Since "retiring" from accounting a few years ago, she's been delving back into her art passions. She recently bought some pre-stretched canvases, and started working with acrylics, when she quickly remembered how much she disliked those paints. One evening at dinner, she told me she had ordered the Bob Ross instructional videos. I chuckled for a couple of reasons; 1) I'd been thinking about ordering them for her anyway, and 2) I've had a long appreciation of Bob Ross from watching him on the local PBS channel as a kid, and my best friend and I several years ago named our acoustic trio Happy Little Trees in his honor. So, she got the videos last week, bought some oil paints this past weekend, and dove right in.

Her first attempt at oil on canvas didn't turn out too bad at all.

A pleasant 75F with a mix of clouds and sun @ 12:00. High today predicted to hit 81F, with 0% chance of precipitation.

Mid-80's for the next couple of days, then a couple of days near 90 with chances of rain starting Monday. We are still almost 3" short on precipitation ... but what we have gotten - along with cooler temps - has helped green things up a bit:

Got rear trailing wheel removed from Simplicity, cleaned up, and new tire installed and got it moved into the garage yesterday. Hooked the battery charger up last night.

Further sanding done on auger rack, started to apply BLO to the rack itself on sanded areas.

More filling in and compacting done around catch basin. Plan to sow grass seed today, get it watered in, and covered with straw.

This years's fawn were chilling' in the upper field when I went up to get dirt yesterday:

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... :thumbsup:

71°F and .63 niches rain last 24 hours.

Got a good start modifying tractorshed wall. Good considering it rained on and off until noon. Should get that buttoned up and painted today if wx cooperates.

Unplanned trip to town later afternoon as my replacement iPad arrived. Spent rest of evening restoring apps and data. Two factor authentication can be a pain.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Not sure Ken. Probably just use one of the other bank accounts to pay them till things are resolved. I have rely on my records to keep this straight so the less transactions the better.

after tearing apart the rv and car looking for my missing Kindle (um, I'm on number three now...:rolleyes:) hospital called and said they found it.
yeah. Bought it on xmas sale for 80 bucks, now they want 130 or (since Mr Bezos doesn't have enough money) 150 if I don't want advertising to show up
every time I turn it on. What a racket, glad they found my old one.

got my wheel covers put on, sand and grit would cover tires every time it poured. Just pulled in the awning as afternoon thunderstorms coming in.
