Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Morning, sun is out , grass is growing.
Got a few more new flowers put in pots, still need to find where wife wants new pine.
Got chip from game camera, works ok, lots of deer pics so far.

BEF - how far from mailbox to receiver? I have to go over 700' will the extender cover that?

Drew-no truck?? Seems your truck and our new fridge are having the same production issues. Also looks like rental/fleet car orders slowed a lot last year , that is a big market impact too.

Sodamo-I think 400 lbs would be a lot for any of us!

Kyle - took me years to get rid of previous owners bamboo. First cut to a little above ground, then roundup type stuff for 2 years, then tractor and toothbar to remove any active shoots and roots. all gone now, nasty stuff.

Mostly-good to hear wifes issues are not emergency and hope the medicine manages it well
Did not go to Dr. for o2 issue.

Paul-good on the 2nd shot. Birch for the speaker cabinet?

Stay safe and be well.

48F now. It looks like it might rain. Backyard needs to be mowed if it drys out.

I like tool restoration videos. The first Minute of this one gave me a chuckle.

Only a matter of time before this starts to rattle the stock market.

I would say that there is some irrationality to the stock market. The wind blowing from the west might rattle the stock market. Add to that the distortion the Fed has introduced and it is hard to say what the market will do.


Awful lot of folks from this bank have been fired.

But not nearly enough. Criminal enterprise.

.

The extender uses Lora, that should go 700 ft. I’m thinking of getting another, just WiFi, and put sensors in series on all my barn doors. I have Ethernet in the barn, will need to add a WiFi AP in the barn.
This is the local unit that converts Lora to WiFi. You can put it anywhere as long as it gets WiFi and can receive the Lora signal.
I have it sitting inside on top of a very dusty UPS.

This is the inside of the mailbox unit.

It’s a little cheaper to buy on Amazon than from myspool direct.

Letting people manage their own stock market portfolios has increased volatility, which is a measure of the emotion component of buy/sell decisions.

Chris, makes you feel good to see a tool brought back to life.
I was looking at the finished adjustable wrench and wondered what the other end
was used for, on a Volvo. Looks like a tool kit wrench that sat in water for a long time.

sitting here waiting for pain pill to kick in. Endodontist numbed me up quite effectively and did a great job.
Top of the line 3D xray machine and some kind of sterilizer machine that blew noisy hot air it seemed into my
bored out tooth for quite some time. Noise taught me to bring ear plugs next time.
Plus my shoulder was really uncomfortable and now I have the totally expected headache and neck ache.

I asked the guy when he was done if this was sort of an average job, taking just under two hours. He said yes.
Good. Then I gently asked him if I paid cash instead of credit card, could I get a break on the bill? I told him like Arnie
I'd be back because I know I need another one on the other side which I have put off. He was a good guy and took 300 bucks off the 1700 dollar bill.
Which means he was probably just charging me the normal insurance rate...
I left with a sore jaw and a slightly less sore wallet.

I wish I drank, I would sure sit at a bar and drink this away for awhile....
Instead, likely I'll go out and do a little weeding in the flower beds.

Sun and clouds out, very pretty day at the moment.

No time like the present to start!!
Try sipping on some Jameson Irish Whiskey

Roy, next time I go to state store to buy wine, I'll pick up a bottle, thanks.
I think my brother would enjoy it with his cigar if he comes over.

60F and partly cloudy @ 12:30, headed up to a high of 68F.

Spent most of yesterday working on paperwork, pulling past years' stuff out of the "Current" file folders in the filing cabinet and packaging it up in envelopes to be filed away in bankers boxes for deep storage, shredding stuff that doesn't need to be kept, separating out paper that can go to recycling, etc. Still a good bit more to do on that ... but probably won't get back into it until later this evening.

Did get fish fry/juveniles fed along with also cleaning the front glass on a couple tanks and vacuumed and did a pwc on the tank with the Super Reds in it. Also vacuumed one end of the upstairs tank and got the substrate spread out there. Have some fish I need to transfer into that tank as part of the permanent population from downstairs. Will feed all of the fish here in a bit.

Friend due over later for compost and sheetcake.

Probably work some more on weeding the planting bed with the lily splits in it.

Grass down here at the house is getting long enough that it could be cut again, but probably still too wet right now. Supposed be dry again tomorrow ... so will check it then and see whether I can run the Kubota over it without tearing it up too much.

Got an email from Surplus Center that the hubs had shipped, tracking says they are due to be delivered tomorrow.

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