Good morning!!!!

Eric, I have to admit I have never got a pole saw to pull apart. But have gotten a sore neck from attempts to cut branches out of a tree. Glad you got saw down.

57 going to 72...rain may start today.

Sorry you're having so many problems, Buppies. Sounds awful.

Mostly, the skunk just got away, yesterday...but not this morning...I was out at 1am and again at 5am...however there is a lingering odor, so it gets the last laugh. I just heard some gunshots across the road a ways so hopefully someone else is doing the same thing...or maybe sending me a message they don't like to hear gunshots at night.

Eric, I've done the same thing with my pole saw. Had to fetch a ladder. Maybe a day at the pond with the rod would help your neck.

Rick, I'm not sure what to do about the Astros. One "punishment" is that I've decided not to pull for them this year...and I didn't draft any of them for my fantasy teams (although I must admit I had Springer as my next pick when someone snaked him first). BEF, sorry the Yanks are out.

Roy, I have done a few E-sign's. They all went well. Good yours got signed.

The problem was pretty simple...the phone number (my cell phone) was not correct. I'm not sure if the mistake was on my part or the dealer's. Once the error was corrected, it was smooth sailing
Gotta admit, I'm pretty excited to actually see the 4052r. This will be my 5th Deere, all purchased used. Other then a 790 years ago, it's the newest. Haven't used a hydro transmission yet, other then a short trip on an old Deere 855 back in the late 1990's. Always preferred gears and, especially, reverser transmissions...mostly because of the minimal PTO power loss of the gear transmissions (as opposed to the hydrostatics). With eHydro, the loss is much less...down to a horsepower or so.
Also...a REAL cab! With AC and heat!! That's got me really excited. My old bones don't tolerate cold like they used to...

My wife and I went to the mountains yesterday and hiked Mt Marshall. Beautiful day, but compared to Tuesday when I was there, it was crowded on every overlook along the Skyline Drive and the trail heads. Lots of folks coming for leaf season...it was still too early, although progressing with spots of nice colors. But I could have just stayed on the computer and looked at RS and Ron's picture for beautiful tree colors. Talked to a fellow that works for Motley Fool in Alexandria for a while. We found hundreds of witch hazels blooming along the trail...never seen so many before.

"Astros shouldn’t be allowed in playoffs."

They were punished. How long should their penance last?

Did no other MLB team .. ever break the rules?

BTW .. it's 1-1 top of the 8th.

I feel like the players involved should have been suspended without pay for half a season, they paid no price at all. The series they won should have been forfeited. And they should have been banned from playoff contention for at least the next season, they do it in college all the time, no place for that kind of blatant cheating.
However, past is past and time to move on.

Good morning! Back to the 90s for a few days. Foggy morning, 61˚F.
The leaves here are thinking about turning as the greens are changing shades.

Eric was the limb too low for your cab, or was it an opportunity to test the limits of your pole saw?

They are still alternating days for the gardens so I'll have to wait a day to see my new sprouts. On the 19th of this month they will open the buildings for classes, hopefully the gardens will be opened back up completely then.

Face mask are still mandatory in Texas, So far I have seen no one try to test the enforcement of it, everyone is complying nicely.

Randy I was looking at some cruises for next year and was wondering if you ever got a refund?

We were supposed to have two Texas weddings ( a niece and a nephew also) this year, then the covid hit and not a peep from them since.
