Randy doesn't auto wax have some abrasive in it?.

Polish does, pure wax shouldn’t have.

The Intercourse jokes were great! But since it was so cool and wet there, Ellen decided her birthday trip would be south. We drove in on and off rain with temps in the low 60’s, we crossed the Wright Memorial Bridge and when we got on the Outer Banks the sun was shining bright and it was 83°. But when we left it was raining and 57°, great day though. We took Gracie, had some good food, checked out a couple of places for next summer, visited dad’s grave and enjoyed the ride. We got exactly 25 mpg counting a traffic jam in VA Beach, in Ellen’s Edge Titanium.
It’s 51° and rainy here, .81” of rain. Cool weekend upcoming.

Ron, great picture.
Roy, have fun on the new tractor.
Everyone enjoy your weekend.

Ron, BEE YOU TEE FULL picture of crane. Thank you. Yesterday's fall trees were beautiful too.

Rick, enjoy gd visit....(she really wants to come drive your vette hee hee)

Phil, I hate to hear that about your knee. I've not had a replacement, but M/C wipe outs have my knees less than normal.

PJS, I'll have to give the Dream Theater a listen.....hadn't heard that in a long time.

Lower 60's and windy here. Eric, Please come over and walk outside....we need rain.

Drew, it sounds overall like your enjoying your new leaf.

My 10 year old son has had the sniffles/constant throat clearing hack for a few days, and they sent him home yesterday because he said he had a headache and sore throat. We got him Covid tested just now and it was negative. The school was more relieved than we are. Anyway, I used his "sick day off" to take him to get our flu shots.

And I voted today....no line.

"Rick, enjoy gd visit....(she really wants to come drive your vette hee hee) "

Madison .. has been trying to convince me, since she turned 16, that it's really HER Corvette.

Had the virus not come, her straight "A's" senior year, meant she had the Corvette for the last week of school. Unfortunately .. she came home for Spring Break and school never resumed. I'm sad .. that these kids .. totally lost .. their senior year.

We'll take the Corvette for Saturday lunch, at the Dairy Cone Drive-In .. in Columbus. I buy .. Maddie drives. It's nice .. being chauffeured!

Getting knee replacements was one of the better things I’ve done.

After checking my fence repair and not finding a dead pig or pool of blood I was still pleased to see the repairs were in place.

Had thoughts of starting to hang the T111 on the caretaker unit, unfortunately only a handful of ring nails for the nailer. We have to mKe a trip to HD.

So I made a pizza box. All from on hand scrap. I holds 2 16 inch pizza stones. Tested it out this afternoon with 2 individually made 10 in pizzas cooked in oven at max temp. Min was a bit more done than I prefer, wife said hers was perfect. The important part was it was about 45 minutes from pulling from oven until we were ready to eat and the pizza stones were still warm, meaning so was the pizza.

Good morning folks

47 now dew point 44 high of 54 today
Been a nice solid rain since early afternoon yesterday and should keep up until noon today. According to the weather guessers it should be 1.5” plus.

Managed to get some of the driveway brush removed before the rain started yesterday.

Dump run this morning and take the rest of the day as it comes.

Enjoy your day everyone.

good morning all
Luther, I'm surprised it's so warm "up there", as it's colder here, 45 out now, only going to 60 today in bright sunshine
and wow 35 tonight. Oil burner keeping everything warm here, need to fiddle with vents a little more, living room not warm enough and bedrooms too warm
even with vents turned off as much as they go. Caused due to heater being right underneath bedrooms.

After being rejected three times by Social Security online site saying my request for replacement card didn't go through, late last night got email saying I had been approved.
They must be having IT problems...meanwhile the existing card I kept in my SS file should arrive on Monday in the mail. I am so going into that DMV office loaded for bear...

wonder how much it being an Audi influenced the rate. yes, but it's all relative. Car insurance in NC for same car was 700 dollars, first quote I got here was 1700...we whittled that down to 1100 by the time we were through, with 1000 deductibles, etc. But that's still more than 50% more for same or less coverage. I'm sure I could knock a couple hundred dollars off this by shopping around, Geico, etc but I really like this agency, known them for years, fifth generation Quakers and this is the least expensive carrier they have. Since I have sat in their exact same position in past, not having the cheapest product on the block, I just didn't want to beat them up. But I was very clear with them the first quote was simply impossible. So in came the "limited tort" option, higher deductibles, no oem parts guarantee, no zero deductible on glass.

today should be fun as helper comes to build a great deal of furniture and help me put my new tv up on wall.
Will be nice to get all these boxes off floor, then time for me to mop n'glow the floors.

Mostly, had to look up sandbur, never heard of it.
Pasturelands and lawns alike are host to many varieties of pesky weeds. One of the worst is sandbur. What is a sandbur weed? This plant is a common problem in dry, sandy soils and patchy lawns. It produces a seedpod that sticks to clothing, fur and unfortunately, skin. The painful burs are annoying and their hitchhiking activity spreads the weeds quickly
