71F and fair @ 20:30, overnight low of 59F for tonight.

Got bird feeders refilled first thing. After that drove out the bushings on the old damaged gauge wheel and installed them in the new one and installed it on the MMM and greased it up.

Then more work on northwest planting bed, soil very easy to work due to moisture ... :thumbsup:

After that pulled out the Stihl HT101 pole saw and trimmed low-hanging branches on oak and a couple of hawthorns.

Late afternoon mowed as much as I could (80%) down here around the house due to it being wet.

Then I trimmed off a couple more branches on the large rhododendron where it was going up into the electric lines. Have one more branch to go, will do tomorrow.

Got 20 more hosta separated and planted.

The Woman brought home Pad Thai and egg rolls, was good.

Hope everyone had a great day.

We ended getting .5” rain. Cleared up after noon, sun came out, hit 90s.
Didn’t do much today.
We had preordered crab cakes from the fire dept, went to pick them up and they didn’t have an order for us. So got crab cakes takeout from a restaurant.
Did work on more genealogy.
No tornado at Dad’s.

Rain started as I was prepping morning coffee so a wx delay before I could start mowing. Still got about 2 acres left for tomorrow.

 

[Trails End]

Stop at Kubota dealer looking for good second hand snow

I have a Bobcat 6' snow plow with quick attach that's available
for a good price as I could use the space it's taking up.
Let me know if you're interested.



The photos were taken when it was new but very little use since I purchased
the snow blower.

58 going to 70. Should be a nice sunny day.
Hopefully air tech will be here this morning trying to finish setup and install. We need to get everything moved out of the master bedroom for tomorrow's wood install. If air is not working we need to move everything around that we already placed elsewhere. We are supposed to drop to 49 tomorrow night. Hopefully the garden will survive.
Stay safe and healthy all!

Good morning, the sun is shining and we are back to seeing several planes at the same time, high up in the clear blue sky. We are due a visit from our daughter and family today who are just back from holiday. No planes for them, not this year, nor previous years, they seem content to explore this country. They are returning from a sleepy seaside town called Cromer. Sea, sand and plenty of rocks to throw, plus a heated indoor pool for when you have too much of the bracing weather. For young kids it doesn't get much better, I doubt they will grow up regretting they missed out on waiting around inside crowded airports.

Eric, do you raise any of these expensive sheep.

Ron, those stupid prices are incredulous, even for the best of the best. Suspect it is a self perpetuating scheme where a small group of farmers sell to one another at ridiculously inflated prices in an attempt to fool others into thinking they are getting a bargain when bidding for their other stock at a lot less than those headline prices. Someone must fall for it though, they pull publicity stunts like that almost every year.

LS, nice job again. Hope you have enough paint left for the welding cart - would hate to see you having to leave a project unfinished in bare metal for a whole day, you would never sleep

Kyle, disappointed with your dream - touring so close to where we live, pumpkin farm is just up the road and not calling in to see us

59 right now...high in the upper 60's today.
Might be too wet to mow today...maybe this afternoon. The rain was much needed though.
So, I have some weed pulling and trimming to do...that'll keep me occupied for a while.

 

[daugen]

good morning all, 75 going up to 88 nice sunny day
didn't sleep well last night, upset stomach and headache but finally got back to sleep later.
Looking forward to washing parts of rv this morning and getting a little sun on my face before it gets hot and humidity
goes up.

I like lamb but that would be one pricey meal at those sheep prices...how do even three farmers spend half a million on a sheep?
Despite the occasional negative headline I'm finding that meat prices are going back to normal and actually finding things on sale.
Hopefully that's a sign of things slowly getting back to the "new normal", whatever that is.
I need to call my doctor on Monday to find out if I can get a flu shot while going through chemo. One more infusion on Sept 16 and I'm done.
I hope...

Roy my friends in Delaware said they were weeding today too; I think a lot of folks will take advantage of the softer soil.

Ted, great job. Anyone who has lifted a full five gallon diesel can up on top of a tractor hood will appreciate that. Those cans got heavier and heavier each year and always
annoying when you slopped fuel on hood. When I put in my 250 gallon diesel tank
with electric pump, I smiled every time I filled up.

RS, sounds like you will have beautiful gardens when you are done

Hope you all have a peaceful Sunday

Farmer and LS, thanks for the info!

Poured first cup of coffee. 53ｰ with clear skies this morning. Heading to 73ｰ with mostly sunny skies. It finally clear up yesterday afternoon. Took window shutters off garage. Cleaned and painted them in barn. Going to start painting fascia. About 200' of it.
Today is 1 year since my lovely wife passed. I cannot express how much Good Morning !!! thread has made my life livable the last year. Give your loved one an extra hug today.

LS, good job on the fuel cart. Do you have any blue paint left for next project.

Drew, washing the RV was a never ending job. Always left me with a sore neck.

Kyle, you need to work on better dream endings. :confused2:

Trail End, nice blade.

Eric, enjoy the visit.

Phil, hope they get AC working today. Be careful moving furniture around.

David, I will trade your 2 acres of mowing for my 200' of fascia painting.

Buckeye, good to hear your Dad has not damage.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone. Special prayers for Jay and Peg.

Good Morning All.

Indeed well taken care plow your selling.
I am looking for old style Meyer 6 or 6.5 manual snow plow,found one for sale in Sharon,VT,...figure the odds finding so quickly :confused2: last evening waiting on return call.

Thanks for the offer.

55F clear sky 5mph wind 70F for high,didn't get 1.25" rain that was forecast instead .50" garden lawn got good watering.

Outside chores done E muffin time, :licking:
Plans for today...not really sure yet. :confused3:

Enjoy the day all.

I can’t believe how much LS gets done.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Farmer and LS, thanks for the info!

One of these days I will get some kind of fuel transfer, until then I hump the cans up by hand. I hold finger over the spout hole till down at the tank opening, usually none spills.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Had a dream this morning I bought dad’s farm, except a developer had already built 4 other houses on it, but I had most of the farm.

Unfortunately my wife does not want to move there. Too far to get stuff, she’s used to running to walmart etc, and at the farm those stores are about an hour away. Only one grocery store in town.
I can start drawing retirement from my first job this fall, except I still need to work for health insurance. Maybe I can find a software job where I can work remote 100%.

The weekends go by so fast, just a blur.

 

[rswyan]

A cool 60F and "sunny"/clear @ 07:30, high going up to around 76F or so ... minimal chances of rain until Wednesday.

We have made up our rainfall shortage and are now in surplus ... :thumbsup:

Left forearm still swollen a little and itching ... but not as bad as yesterday.

The three fawns were out browsing yesterday afternoon up along the driveway:

Probably hit the compost/wood lot while the MMM is still on Kubota, then remove mower and install FEL and box blade, and move trimmed branches up to burn pile.

Need to finish trimming back the large rhody and possibly transplant some of the ones I'm trying to propagate ... should be able to squeeze three into that northwest planting bed.

The Woman got some mums the other day that also need planted.

Supposed to go out to some friends later in the day and remove hostas they have around their propane tank. Different type of hosta (all green, not variegated) than we currently have.

Might try and get siding rehung on back of garage and see if I can't start to get that project moving forward again.

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

Drew, washing the RV was a never ending job. Always left me with a sore neck.

I noticed mine needs a good wash. No plans to use it this year, unless we do something in the fall.

 

[rswyan]

Billy,

RS, hope that yellow jacket sting heals up today.

Thanks.

Still not seeing the usual bunch around our hummingbird feeders this year, nor the bald face ones.

Have not seen any bald face hornets this year thankfully. Carpenter bees were out strong earlier, seem to have mostly disappeared at this point though. Still plenty of wasps however.

Best wishes on Coco's recovery.
