60 start today and going to stay there all day. Rain in the forecast for today and tomorrow. Went for my 3 mile walk yesterday, blew leaves and raked for a few hours. Decided I would start on the paver project in front of the other garage. Started digging for the retention boards and promptly heard and felt something pop in my left knee. Now sitting on the couch with and ice pack and a cane by my side! I've had enough surgeries on this darn knee to put 3 children through college!!! Going to try resting it for a few days to see if it gets better. If it doesn't get better I am going to try a new doctor in Boston. Maybe they can change out the replacement and attache everything back correctly. Hoping it just needs rest and ice.
Drew- My mother in law has been trying to get her license for over 3 months! She was adopted from Canada 78 years ago and the forms she has don't have tracking numbers on them.(didn't need them then) RMV doesn't care they want numbers! Had to go through immigration looking for new form and they are taking there sweet *** time with no communication. She's had her license since she was 17! Been through numerous renewals. Why so hard now?
Be safe and healthy all!

good morning all
62 out now dropping to 59 today as rain starts soon followed by colder weather.
when I got my Makita blower on Amazon they had the typical buy this plus this below listing, and I did, getting the extension nozzle that
concentrates the air. Fiddled with it for several minutes before I gave up, doesn't fit this model. Thank you Amazon. Back it goes.
off to insurance agent this morning, they asked for copy of my old policy since it was on a preferred format and new insurer basically wants proof. Ok. I can still qualify for
preferred pricing track, usually 15 percent less at age 70, but not much older. Once you are on, they usually won't take you off, but you need to get on in time. My insurance runs about 700 dollars a year for Audi, less when truck was on due to multi car discount. Will be interesting to compare PA and NC pricing, am guessing might be more expensive here due to population density. Amount of stupid deer about the same...
Local friend of mine sent me a post card and an envelope from two different locations as we laughed about crazy DMV rules. So with SS card in hand, birth certificate, photo driver ID, lease, etc
am hoping third time will be the charm.
Might go food shopping on way home from insurance visit this morning, pick up some baking items. Got my kitchen supplies in, baking tins, mixing bowls, measuring cups. I really did have to start all over. So nice to have a microwave now, keeps my coffee warm, and I don't have to wait for toaster oven to do its thing.
Contacted fuel oil dealer landlord suggested, which she thought was one of least expensive ones around. Well, no...they quoted $1.79 for prebuy of 400 gallons or more, another place selling it for $1. 55. For those of you still buying fuel oil, what are you paying this winter?
Dehumidifier in basement making loud noises, something else on last legs here, so I ordered a new one from Amazon. Couldn't justify cost of commercial one, five times more money, but got a top rated large home unit. Basement has channel around outside of concrete pad, and moisture comes right in. I'm going to get some extensions for gutters and run the downspouts further away from the house to help. Due to lack of hanging closet storage in house, have to store clothing/coats in basement and that damp smell will ruin them if I don't manage the moisture.
David, sorry for pig damage. No wonder they go on big hunts in Texas, very destructive animals. That view sure is awesome...

59 outside this AM. That should be the high. Rain moved in earlier this AM, but it is not raining now.
Got the vinyl delivered yesterday, late....so all I did was look at it. No dumpster pickup...sigh..company says they had issues, will pickup sometime next week.
More porch ceiling work on tap today. Very slow go, ladder work and shoulder. Have about 8 feet left. Used two tubes of caulk, filling seams and holes. Very happy with how far it has come.
Moved some dirt around late yesterday too. The new horse pasture manure pile was dug into a hill side, so we moved that. The dirt, we turned it often, was/is amazing. I filled some holes with it, leveled out some water line trenches, and generally had a lot of fun. It was nice listening to tunes and watching bugs bounce off the glass and not me.
On pigs, some say we have some around here, but I have never seen them. Nor their destructive calling cards.
Hope all have a good day, and a good start to the weekend. Be safe.

Drinking first cup of hot coffee. 26° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 54° with sun and some afternoon clouds. Canceled grocery shopping yesterday. Got frame work up for cellar door. Have a Dr appointment this morning. Then do yesterdays grocery shopping. No other plans.
Sandhill Crane keeping a eye on me.
Buckeye, Happy belated Birthday wishes for your son.
Drew, I have been sucked into those add item list a few time. I am much more careful now. Hope you got all needed for DMV. I question the need for 4K. My new bedroom TV is 1080. Not all the 4K ones I looked at had OTA TV.
Phil, hope knee gets better soon.
Riptides, sure hope you are getting done with the overhead work.
Rick, searching for a new UTV.
RS, do you need a conserve energy day? I do after reading your day list.
Don, nice to know the UPS will last that long without running out of power.
David, what a mess. But the view. :thumbsup:
LS, geese will have a nice place to stay. Visited Bosque del Apache a few years ago.
RNG, hope you get bike engine back together.
Everyone stay healthy and safe.
Good Morning All

56 and raining hard the last couple of hours. Temps dropping from here today.
Phil, sorry about your knee...hope it gets better fast.
Was able to clear error codes on my roaster and roast a batch of Costa Rica and one of a Nicaragua coffee. New micro-fan part is scheduled to arrive today, which will hopefully fix things.
Mowed just about all the yard, hiking paths and frisbee field yesterday...lots of leaves on the ground under the trees already. I'm sure today's rain will knock more off. Have only found one garden spider this year. We used to have webs around the house and feed them insects we would catch. I wonder if the late freeze killed some. A fair number of acorns in the woods, but not seeing any pecans and fewer persimmons, also due to the late freeze in May.
