Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

Sadamo, I'm getting a rash under my Apple Watch, not the band but the watch itself. I do notice some high intensity green lights at times under the watch where the rash is. Are you having any problems?

No, haven’t observed anything out of ordinary. I do move for bed at night, but nothing special.

Which TV did you get Mostly? Congrats on 43.

Thought it might be interesting to get a before/after look at the 2 years of brush hogging/flail mowing I’ve been doing and posting.

62 right now...high in the upper 70's and sunny today.
I wrote about my kidney function test being OK...got the official word on the hospital patient portal this morning. Hopefully, the CT scan results will be available this afternoon...

Drew, would you serious consider getting the same mower as you got last time?

No, I had ten acres to mow last time, now I'll have half an acre...
in fact I'm now seriously considering buying a home in a 55+ community with a tiny lawn that I could mow with a cordless mower...
Think I may drive up to PA next week to check it out, now that I have a second clear PET scan under my belt.

I've bought two riding mowers in last ten years, both of which I gave away...one a used 20 hour JD LX280 TractorData.com John Deere LX28 tractor information that I gave to a close friend who just bought a retirement home
in Delaware and was tapped out. While a very nice mower, I knew I was moving to a big farm and the mower wasn't big enough. So I bought a diesel JD X750 which was a marvelous machine. It stayed with the farm, which I now sure regret. I also bought a Cub Cadet TractorData.com Cub Cadet XT2 LX46 FAB tractor information to loan to my friend here locally, and wound up giving it to her. I didn't like that machine at all, despite having the good Kawasaki engine and a fabricated deck. It was too hard to steer and why I know if I do a rider again it has to have power steering. I've had both wrists operated on for carpal tunnel and one elbow for ulnar surgery so my arms aren't too great, nor can I grip ZT's sticks.

Yes, I give a lot of stuff away...but without kids and no desire to "take it with me", why not

going to be miserably hot today, heat index of 108. Going to crank down the a/c this morning and try to get ahead of the heat curve, went up to 80 in rv late yesterday in heat of day. Going to zoom today with sister in California, I know she is very interested to talk to me about housing choices. First it was assisted living, then a rental, now a home to buy is being considered. Having second thoughts about being so isolated in rental in country, maybe it's time I was closer to other folks and met more people, so I won't spend the rest of my life living alone.

Good morning, after a wash out day yesterday, forecasters are hinting waterproofs can be hung up for a few hours this afternoon. The amount of rain that Bird and others have experienced seeing seems incredible to me. We are used to getting wet, however at least there is a decent amount of airspace between each raindrop. Our drains wouldn't cope with even half the amount some of you have seen.

My condolences PJ. I bet your uncle was pleased when he found you had musical talents. Hope you can enjoy playing a few rifts to his memory.

Thomas, Smurf ! - never thought you would be so cruel to a person of (blue) color. :laughing:

Phil, we all need bad days, if only to better appreciate the times when it all comes good, like yours did yesterday :thumbsup:

Don, there will be some lucky campers thanks to your teams hard efforts.

RNG, that looks a great oscilloscope, a lot there for your money. Happy triggering !

Mostly, still keeping your wife happy after 43 years is not a trivial achievement. :thumbsup:

I’d say you are quite generous, Drew.
Never had an electric mower, but Bird sure seems to enjoy his. I’ve been very pleased with the newer battery tools of late.

I seem to recall you flirted with idea of the senior community before, maybe about time Don moved? The way Don stays engaged, I think that would be an excellent option for you. I think it is very important to have a good group of people in our senior lives to keep us involved. My step daughter was lamenting that other than some family and coworkers she basically has noone in her life except her 2 cats and she is only 50. So sad.

 

[Buppies]

Becoming involved with others is very important to seniors to have interactions with others. Seniors have so much to give in the way of knowledge life experiences and all they really need is for others to show an interest in them. Most communities have groups like these. The older members have so much to share

Poured first cup of coffee. 55° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 84° with a few clouds. Dentist visit went well. Got a filling. Did not need any pain killer. In at 11:20. Out by 12:00. Got lawn mowed. Change oil and rotate tires on car today. The Goldenrod field has my eyes burning from what ever they put out.
A better view.

Mostly, sorry I missed your Anniversary. Hope it was a Happy one. What TV did you get.

Drew, a senior community would be a good choice. My Aunt lives in one. Loves it.

David, good comparison of cutting fields.

PJ, sorry about your uncle. Prayers for family and friend. May he RIP.

Don, nice job on camping site clean up.

Roy, hope all your test come back showing no problems.

Buckeye, it has been so long since I took a transmission apart. I have a feeling it would not go good. Hope it works good when you get it back in.

LS, hope the head ache has gone away.

Phil, glad floors and AC projects are done.

Everyone be safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.
