Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Thank you for the link.

Bef, do you tap those trees?

We tapped a couple one year on the farm. Probably spent more on gas to boil it down than the syrup was worth.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEF, :birthday::applause:

 

[buckeyefarmer]

It was i n s a n e at the Front Royal and Thornton gap entrances last weekend.

Knowledge from a friend. Lol.

Maybe we will go down to Rt 33 and come up it.

Good evening all. 55F for the start, overcast, calm wind. Light wind till warm front came through then windy, overcast cleared out with warm front, and high temp was 86F. Slow start, found 2 gopher tunnels, flush a lot of dirt back down them. no activity by sunset. Bike ride after lunch, then nap. Favorite Mexican restaurant at gate now closed Monday-Wednesday, so had to go to little town 5 miles up the road, run by same family. Having to contemplate new computer, current cpu 7-10 years old and having more issues with it.
Covid update: Cooke unchanged, Montague unchanged, Grayson 2283 confirmed cases, 143 active cases.

I thought the can was the bathroom

It is also the bucket. Jail has lots of names, I think it is called 'goal' in English terms.

'Bathroom' also has lots of other names. My British DIL says that the 'loo' is our bathroom.

I might try the skyline drive on Friday.

Are the leaves changing in Maryland and Virginia yet? Skyline drive will be a very nice run if the are...

48 right now...the predicted high is 66, but I doubt it goes the high...didn't make yesterday's predicted high...

Tractor's ready to be delivered once the rear wiper kit (which was delivered to the shop yesterday morning) is installed...really hope to see the machine in my drive this afternoon...crossing my fingers...

Good morning, had to admit defeat and turn the light on in the kitchen in order to make a pot of tea. Our clocks go back this weekend, even so it is that dull this morning that I doubt it would make much difference to a day like this.

I ordered 1000 litres of tractor diesel late yesterday afternoon. The local supplier is very reliable and only a couple of miles away, but even for them this was quick service as they were here at 8:00 am. Fortunately I had remembered only five minutes before to pour in a biocide as a preventative against diesel bug, much easier to ensure it is thoroughly mixed in if it goes first into an empty storage tank. In years gone by diesel seemed to last indefinitely, that has certainly changed since the addition of biodiesel.

Does anyone else treat their diesel ? I am more cautious after others have had problems, I suck out any water from the bottom of the storage tank each year with a vacuum extractor and spend the extra few pounds per year on a biocide 12 diesel bug treatments tested - Practical Boat Owner

Roy, should be a great day :thumbsup:

Sodamo, some years ago you told us about a star identification app that was really good. I lost it when I changed phones, can you remind me what it is called again please ?

 

[mpham]

Morning All! Eric-the one I use on my iphone is called SkyView it works great.
57 here to start going to a sunny pleasant 66. Should be a great day for leaf wrangling! Need to change out a dishwasher and microwave at the apartment house first though. Will be hitting the bricks early so I can make a doc visit this afternoon for my normal blood pressure check up.
Happy Birthday BEF if I don't post again for a while.
Stay safe and healthy all!

SkyView(R) Lite on the App Store

I do treat my diesel, but don’t recall name. Both for moisture and biocide.

52 high of 79 today more sunshine

Prayers for all

 

[riptides]

57 outside this AM. Heading to lower 80's. Heavy fog.

No grass yesterday, was roped into a shopping trip. Managed to spend a lot of money at the Home Depot. Came home with 12 4x4x12's. Wife wants to try and keep stone dust in the run ins for the horses. Yet another project added to the list. Ugh... Did manage to get a beer run out of it.

Hope the tractor exceeds expectations, Roy.

Belated Happy Birthday, BEF.

I go through diesel so fast, I do not treat it. LOL.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

 

[daugen]

good morning all.
Very foggy morning, 57 going up to 74 today.

Happy Birthday Buckeye! :dance1:

ordered two wool area rugs and one polypro from Amazon yesterday, three for the price of one at local store. Wood floors in this rental in poor shape, really need sanding but that isn't
going to happen any time soon, so covering them is best solution. Yesterday I was all domestic with the mop 'n glow, wanted to get that done before the rugs went down.

my new blender showed up yesterday, has both a full size and a glass size container.
Amazon.com: Ninja Professional Countertop Blender with 11??-Watt Base, 72 Oz Total Crushing Pitcher and (2) 16 Oz Cups for Frozen Drinks and Smoothies (BL66?), Gray: Electric Countertop Blenders: Kitchen & Dining
Going to get some frozen fruit at supermarket today and start experimenting, have my kale and ground
flaxseeds to mix in, neither of which I hope I can taste.

My bananas are now soft so I'm also going to bake some of those banana oatmeal cookies I read about, only the two ingredients, though I will add raisins, vanilla, maple syrup and flaxseed. Next batch I'll use cranberries instead of raisins. I really need to print out some recipes so I'm not guessing at proportions. I usually wing it and that doesn't always work well. I do remember I'm supposed to soak the oats in milk for ten minutes.

To get me off my addiction to my Splenda/sugar mix which goes in my first cup of coffee in the morning,
going to try a Stevia/erythritol mix. Very expensive little bag of sweetener, hope it works.

Saturday is now confirmed for my trip down to brother's home in Markham VA, to pick up all my winter clothes and whatever else is in his basement for me.
Going to rent a 6x12 Uhaul trailer and pull it behind friend's awd Ridgeline. Probably about 3000 gvw so should be fine for his light duty truck, rated at 5000.
Need to reserve the trailer today and pick it up Friday afternoon. Since most of what I'm hauling is clothes and artwork, a covered trailer is a must.

Good morning folks

54 now dew point 58 high of 66 and cloudy today. Showers finally showed up overnight.

Not much planned for today, just take it as it comes.

Roy hope your new ride is waiting for you this afternoon.

Enjoy your day everyone

All the tractor and home heating oil taks get a dose of biocide every fill, if the truck delivers before I get it in i'll put the pump nozzle in the tank and let it circulate for half an hour.
Better safe then sorry and of course the anti gel in the winter for the exposed tanks don't bother with the buried ones.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 54° with rain this morning. Heading to 57° with mostly cloudy skies. Got over 1/2" of rain overnight. Thunder woke me up at 2 am. Got some work on cellar door done yesterday. Back at it today. Much bigger project than I planned. Biggest problem is finding where I laid a tool down. Primary care Dr got me an appointment with ENT Dr in 2 weeks. Lots of people seems to need it this year.
This guy made my day yesterday.

Drew, good that your getting your stuff in one place.

Buckeye, have a Happy Day Before Birthday. Hope your sister is OK.

Roy, hope tractor arrives today.

Ken, tree looks great.

David, my signal is poor. Helps to have fiber optic internet service. My house is concrete block and barn is metal. There is a 2' fiberglass light panel around 2 sides of barn. I mounted my extender in that area.
Both phones are set on WIFI for phone service. Works good it I do not walk around in house. When in the house I use my 2 iPads to answer calls. Also switch to them when making calls. Verizon is suppose to put in a new tower near me next year. Hope it solves problems I have.

Don, great pictures.

Eric, we have to wait another week to change our clocks. Nov. 1.

Buppies, I bet a lot have called it Latrine.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

51F cloudy mid 60's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time. :licking:
Plans for today...blow leaves if the winds in my favor or couple putter jobs outside.

Enjoy the day all.
