Good morning!!!!

Good Morning
41 and looking for 70 with clear skies.

Yesterday chores and tasks were all accomplished to my satisfaction. UPS didn’t deliver the speaker grills that I’m waiting for, tracking had them in Laurel,MD, now it says they’re “out for delivery”. Of course I’ve got a trip to Newport News this morning, hopefully they’ll be here when I get back. I don’t know how I ever found the time to work on a regular basis!

Popgadget, you wear a lot of hats. Do you still have an old trials bike "bugsy" type riding hat?

Like this?

Morning, sunny today,
Rain stopped for a bit so went out with my come along and redid the dog runner so it's not sagging anymore towards the Rops when I drive across that yard.
Day job took the whole day, so did not get much else done. Getting stronger and O2 up to 92-95% range

Kyle-sounds like a real busy day-seems like you got quite a bit done
Paul- We used to have herds of deer here, but they changed the bow hunting rules to allow more does to be taken. Now only see 2-6 at a time. Have one chair on either side of my property on neighbors land which are rented by bow hunters.

Will see if I get time to do more raking and cleanup. Still have to do some veg planting too. Being sick for 4 weeks certainly put me behind schedule. Still have sticks and branches laying around, need to get to those before grass starts getting high.

Stay safe and be well

51°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 57° today. Some more rain expected later this afternoon. Last nights storms weren't as bad as predicted. We got some heavy rain on and off for awhile, but I never heard any thunder or saw any lightning.

Mostly_, I've been telling coworkers for years, if you want me out of your hair, make my job unnecessary. Turns out, I'm still working.

Hope your new internet service lives up to their claims, Alien. If our satellite internet service suddenly became twice as fast (not likely at this point), it would still be less than half of their minimum speed promise.

As much good as I've heard about .22 Hornet, Buppies, I'm not sure I could afford to shoot it. My brief search of AmmoSeek.com shows only two results; one at $2.70 and one at $3.00 per round. Ouch. I hope you reload.

Good morning all. Our last day of dry weather, got to crack on and finish installing another kissing gate after I discovered another wooden style had rotted off at ground level.



Introducing the new Ron after his (her?) gender change ??

good one!

interesting, not a .22 at all really, way more powerful cartridge
came out in 1930

reminds me of fishing with light weight tackle
properly used you can land something pretty big

dentist ordered pain pills and antibiotics for me, likely the latter is the problem and I have an infection in there somewhere, hopefully soon to be gone.
Back downtown to CVS shortly.

forsythia and magnolias in full bloom, very pretty driving on country roads, though pollen is making me sneeze

58 now and 65 later, a little breezy.
I cut all the fabric for two wing chairs yesterday, took me three hours, my moms could do it in an hour. Still have to sew and upholster. After this I’m going to take it easy on what I promise.

Got up a little groggy this morning, restless last couple of hours and sinus issues.

Got my new flagpole light installed, looks like aliens have landed on it, especially when it’s lit at night.

70F and mostly sunny @ 09:45, headed up to a high of 79F (which is near a record high temp) Increasing chances for showers later this afternoon. Calling for a high of 76F tomorrow, and 80F on Saturday ... then cool down to more normal temps (highs in the 60's) after that.

Saw goldfinch out on feeder this morning. Lots of birds singing in the mornings these days.

Got FEL and mower greased yesterday, fluids checked then got the first mowing of the year done on upper and lower front yards, plus compost/wood lot. Some places there was barely anything to cut, others it was getting pretty tall/thick. Still need to do down here around the house ... which is on the agenda before the rain gets here (WU says chances of rain go up significantly around 17:00)

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ...

It's up to 60F now but it feels cooler. Good weather for working. Yesterday was the first mow for the front yard. I was picking up as much litter as cutting grass. Grass was heavy I guess the mower is coated with green muck. Pitiful how tired it made me. I am hoping to get up to the farm to do some chainsaw work before the weeds get up.

The local paper says PA is the 5th worst state for Covid infection. I know two families that the whole family got the covid in the last couple of weeks. Pretty sad to get this far and then to get it. So far only one family member in the hospital.
I hope you are all being careful. This junk can be mean.

The first pic was yesterday, the second pic was 2 months ago.
The tree/limb/brush pile was turned to chips for the park’s trails. Many truck loads have been distributed around the park.
Yesterday we removed cedars along the park road at the curves for better driver visibility. Everything is in high gear getting ready for the parks grand opening.

Good morning! 74 heading to 88 after a morning low of 43.
Trimming some more freeze damaged hedges today.

Drew, sinus problems have made me go quickly to the dentist where they found nothing wrong. Hope yours is the same.
