Good morning!!!!

Coatesville PA, 80 miles away. Just east of Amish country.

Morning like this, I wished I had gone for a ride up that way.
MD going to stage 3 reopening, which I think includes movies, other things 75% capacity.

With those type of "Cations". Work/schoolCation might sound better. At least you have a helper to help you pack. Make sure you label the boxes of what is inside.
When do the schools start back up in your area?

Don,

Ex wife #2 Home-schools. My other girls are 22-20 and they did K-12 Home-School... March, June, Sept, and Dec. are "Break Months" so I get daughter for extra 5 or 7 days... June & Sept are 7 days extra.

My girls are all VERY bright...

Sodamo met Alannah... so has Lstinthot...

Be well,
David

Funny thing is just before we moved out here, we lived in that general area, a little town called Sadsburyville. After moving out here, I used to buy Jeep stuff from a place in West Chester, now tractor stuff from Coatesville. Never knew those companies were even there at the time.

David/Mossflower, new avatar :thumbsup: The girls are growing up...

lot of GM members are long time TBN'ers. I'm sure I'll miss some...but Thomas and Bird are 20 years, Roy is 19, Kyle 18 and a handful are 16 years.
all good

Drew,

Yes, far too soon she will be grown (but hopefully not gone). I have NO relationship for some years now with the older girls. My son turns 35 and looks to have found "the one" and he is in Richmond we are fairly close.

I just hit 9 years as a TBN n00b... LOL...

You look to be busier than a one armed paper hanger. (Young ones wouldn稚 know what that is)

This is far too true... I've just started DATING again and I've had a few ladies inform me I do not have time to date... LOL... The one's that have issues with Alannah, well they have ZERO chance of a 2nd date... Not that any have met her yet...

Be well sirs!
David

... Moss, good luck with the packing.... maybe you will find those items you have been missing for a while!:confused2:

...

Ted,

I sure Hope so! I have a 6 pack of swanky hungarian poultry seasoning I got from Amazon in late May early June I cannot find! $30 worth! LOL

I'm gonna try to trash/donate some of those "Lost Treasures" but not the spices!!!

It is an interesting process... Not fun. I'm sweating like a pig...

Be well,
David

You did. But that’s OK. When the group moved from old forum to TBN. I was in hospital recovering from surgery. So I did no get signed until the 18th. Most others signed in earlier. Hard to believe it’s been over 20 years.

I'm seeing an ad at the bottom of the page for sweatshirts printed with

Liquor
The glue holding this 2020 s***show together

Pretty funny.
For me it is the tractors which let me get out of the house.

69F and clear @ 10:45, partly cloudy later with a high of 80F.

Trip to basement first thing to unlock door, locate long level, then water hosta, refill bird feeders.

Water catch basins, finish northwest planting bed prep, transplant a few more rhododendrons there. Maybe some more hosta as well.

There's a small area due east under a hawthorn tree that's had a couple of holes drilled with the 2' auger previously that needs cleaned up so I can stick a couple of rhododendrons there. I think there are also a couple of similar holes in the northeast planting bed that can be used as well ... have to check.

Good news on Menards 11% ... was wondering if Labor Day might have been the cut off ... thanks Ron ... :thumbsup:

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

David (MFW) I really like your new avatar. Your little girl reminds me a lot of our Grand daughter who is 15 now and a gun nut like her whole family. She has a 20 ga. shotgun,2 AR15 style rifles, one in .22 cal and one in .243 for deer and antelope, plus a couple of pistols. All in pink camo which is her favorite color. 2 weeks ago she went to a close big town with her parents with the idea that she and her Mom were going to do school shopping for her and Dad was going to a gun show. Half way through the school shopping the Grand Daughter said " Ok Mom you can finish this, I'm going to help Dad at the gun show". By the time they were done the Grand daughter had the pink camo .22 and Mom had a new Ruger long barrel revolver and Dad had the bill.
The last 2 times we moved I learned the first thing to bring in was a 5 c.y. dumpster. I've slowed way down on my pack rat ways but still have way too much "stuff". Glad you have some time with your daughter even if it is packing.Time together is never enough and they grow up way too fast.

Ron, oops, even worse, I had your name written down under the 20 column, then wrote from memory.
Hah, see where that got me...

beautiful day out, read for awhile outside, nice to get some sun on me. Came in when I started to sweat.

RNG ... Are the fires getting contained?

Found a pretty good summary from yesterday, Bruce. Over two dozen fires statewide, three of them at or well over 300,000 acres. Almost 13,000 firefighters on the job, over 11,000 evacuated, over 1.5 million acres burned. Containments range from almost nothing to just about there, but the big fires are closing in on half way. Southerly winds over the next few days will be bringing smoke into this area, and the high temperatures will be keeping a lid on it so it'll stay too thick to be outside without a mask. The first real rainstorms this year will be a huge cause for celebration!

70°F and .30 inches rain last 24 hours.

Another day piddling about. So tempting to jump on the tractor to mow the middle area but will give it another day.

Maybe a good day to play with my network.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Did you ever wonder why some people take an interest in guns and others do not. I got my first .22 rifle when I was 10 years old, two years later, a 12 gauge shotgun, my first pistol when I was 18. Then I because a police officer when I was 24, married my wife a year later. Before we were married, I let her fire one round through my snub nosed .38. That's her entire experience with shooting a gun, although she used to keep one handy when I worked nights. We have 2 daughters, currently 51 and 54 years of age. As long as I was an officer, I left a loaded handgun on the chest of drawers in our bedroom when I was home. From the time the girls were old enough to even reach up there, they knew I carried a gun at work, they knew where it was when I was home, AND they knew they were not to touch it. BUT I also made sure they knew that I would unload it and let them handle it any time they wanted to. They never did. The older of the two went with me to an indoor firing range and shot up 50 rounds about 6 or 7 years ago. That's the only time she's ever fired a gun and I guess the younger of the two has still never fired a gun.

It is strange how different folks see things. My parents were married in 1917 and raised 8 kids during some real tough times. I was raised on wild game and fish. I started tagging along on hunting trips before I started school. I was the youngest of the family so "spoiled" according to my much older siblings. My first gun was a .410 shot gun at around 8 yrs. old then onward from there. When I was a kid there was no such thing as hunter safety classes but my Dad was a very strict disciplinarian and there were no mistakes allowed.
All of my kids went through the hunters safety courses but just the oldest, now 59, and the youngest, who is 52 and the father of our only Grand daughter ,were really interest in guns and hunting. My youngest son had the worst hunters safety teacher I've ever seen and,being a chip off the old block, he would speak up and correct the instructor every time he made a mistake. It was kind of embarrassing because the guy was my barber in his day job but he took it well.The son is now an instructor and works real hard at it. His whole family is really involved also but my 2nd son and my daughter have no interest at all.

Drew, the article that you posted is why we make our dog food. 14 years ago, we lost an International champion Giant Schnauzer and 2 National Champion Mini Schnauzers to the Menu brand dog food poisoning. We haven't touched any commercial dog food or treats since! Sometimes our dogs eat better and healthier than I do!

What is one of your recipes, or do you have a favorite website?

And this is why you don't connect the ground clip of an oscilloscope probe to the hot leg of a 120 VAC circuit...

Somewhere around here I have a breakout device for the 120 VAC outlets in the typical American home. Since there's no guarantee that the neutral wire is connected to the correct terminal in the outlet, I'm a gonna use a battery powered multimeter to see which side is hot before I try hooking up the scope to anything...
