Thank you all and your grandchildren in paying it back.

54 and raining hard. Going to 61.

LS, glad it's not a clot.

Any one heard from riptides? It's been a month...I know he was busy on the farm.

Got a few hours of bush hogging done, but it took me almost 2 hours to get started. I had to move a pallet of firewood, and hitch/unhitch a couple of implements to get to the cutter. Then decided to grease it, and the zerk broke off on the wheel...I only gave it a little tap to get the tiny ball bearing to open after a couple of unsuccessful squeezes that went everywhere but in the zerk. So then had to remove the threaded piece out of the wheel. Glad I had bought several sizes of replacements a couple of years ago.

Had a Merlin follow me around landing on branches out ahead of me, hoping I'd run a rodent out of the field,
repeating the process for each lap I took. Then with just a 15 foot strip left, a woodcock jumped up about 3 feet in front of the tractor and played injured to tempt me away from its nest, which I hope I didn't run over. So, I backed up, and left that strip uncut and moved to another field. More to do, but the rain is giving me an excuse to take it easy today.

Also decided to run the zero turn through a few patches of grass that were getting high, a sure sign of spring.

Drew, there are still no cruise ships leaving the US ports because:

“The CDC lifted its no-sail order in October and replaced it with a conditional set of rules; industry officials say the 40 pages of rules are either indecipherable or impractical, such as a measure requiring cruise lines to conduct “simulated voyages” with volunteer passengers.“I refer to it as the ‘impossible-to-sail order’ because no business could operate profitably,” Capt. John Murray, Port Canaveral’s chief executive officer, said.”

If the CDC's "impractical" conditional set of rules do not change they will expire Nov. 1, 2021.

LS good news but what's next, continuing on with PT?

If college kids can party in Cancun I don't see why seniors can't party on cruise ships. Let the people choose. Party ON.

Ron, La-Z-Boy was bought out by a conglomerate out of India about 25 years ago. They started using the name o. Everything from junk $200 recliners to high end sofas and office furniture. You can’t assume the name is associated with quality any more, though a lot is still very good. Have to do your shopping.

57-62 with heavy rain today.
Spent yesterday in the shop abs got a lot done. Errands to run this morning and the rain may put me out of the mood to work in the shop, we will see.

Car club dinner/meeting last night, a lot of people were going out for the first time in over a year.

Trash day, errands and if it’s raining by then I might see what Roku has to offer.

Prayers for all you folks recovering.

Raining today as predicted. It is pitiful but after two short afternoons of work I need a rest day.

Then realized my low gas light was on, so got half a tank.

I discovered on my Tundra that when the low gas light is on I still have 5 gallons. Takes the pressure off to rush to the gas station unless my wife is with me then for her peace of mind we get gas ASAP.

That brings up the memory of a Jackson Browne song.

Back from the Dr's.... good news, no blood clots found. No other speculation from the doc as to the cause of the edema.... oh well. On to the next...

42°F now and going to a high of 55. Wind ESE 8 mph. Showers starting this morning.

I got most of the snow away from the BH. I wont attempt to put it on until the weekend, the rain will cut away the rest of the snow.

A trip to Burks Falls is on tap for this morning, daughter in law needs bloodwork done, before she sees the doctor next week.

May stop and wash the car on the way home.


Have a safe day all
