Gong to spend time with my Aunt today. She fell last week and cracked a couple of ribs. Tuff lady. But says she need someone with her during the day. Daughter spends the night with her.
Clouds look like they are trying to tell/show me something.
.
Hope your aunt heals quick.
A lady I know went over a wall on her mower a couple weeks ago and broke 7 ribs.

Good morning, low was 61 and high will be 70°F. Wind SW13 gusting to 22 mph. 40% chance of rain. It was coming down cats and dogs when I got up. Hopefully done for today.
Got the rest of the Dodge waxed yesterday, now it is shiny again. No pics.
Pried the DIL up off the floor 4 times this week and it sounds like I will have to do it again this morning. It takes two of us to do it. She weighs over 200 lbs.
It is going to be an energy conservation day today.
Have a safe day all

Good Morning
It’s 58 with a high of 90 and thunderstorms likely.
I would rather have a day of steady, slow rain, but we need it any way that it comes.
Got the geo heat pump installed and running yesterday, no real surprises, it went as expected. Got home early enough to haul the dump trailer to the mulch yard and got it spread. That completes the mulching. The mulch yard is .8 miles from my lane, down a two lane road. My tractor does about 15mph over the road, so the worst case scenario would have someone stuck behind me for 3/4 of a mile. Coming back with the load of mulch, I had someone in an F350 Dually pass me rolling coal, beeping his horn and giving me the finger. I’ve got to wonder what he was thinking. There is at least 400 acres of tilled ground along that stretch of road, and it’s still a rural area, so it’s doubtful it was their first encounter with farm equipment on the road, at least it wasn’t a combine that was too wide to pass !
Got another speaker ready to ship, hopefully that will go out today. Looks like I’m off to Marsh Harbour again tomorrow, those trips pretty much kill the day, so I won’t get much done when I get back.

69 and 95% humidity! going to 92. I like snow. So dry...had a few drops...Buppies, my eyes are burning, too.
Kyle, congrats to your son! Takes a lot of hard work, and dedicated parents to achieve so much! Good luck with the car search.
RNG, so sorry about the hydraulic gusher. Hope it's just a hose. Don't let the state find out, or you'll be designated a toxic waste site.
Buppies, Coco's vet said the new pain medicine needs about 2 to 4 weeks to "build up" so she is also taking codeine in the interim...they are only allowed to dispense 1 week's worth at a time, and it can't be filled at the local pharmacy, so I have to drive 60 miles RT to pick up another week's worth. She is worth it.
Wore myself out yesterday tackling mountain trails. Hiked a loop up Cat Knob, Fork Mountain, and up Laurel Prong to Hazel...8.4 miles and 2,205 ft elevation gain. Only saw 1 hiker on the AT for the short segment I was on it. She was hiking the entire AT, and left Springer Mtn GA on March 19...so over 2 months on the trail and not halfway yet...she was doing 20 miles yesterday heading to Big Meadows, where they have showers! I'll see if I can post a couple of pix from my phone.
Saw that there's a big eclipse tonight...blood moon, etc...best seen in David and RNG's area, but at least partly visible here. If this link works, you can drag the globe around to see how it will appear where you live.

Fork Mountain is where Herbert Hoover's wife liked to take visitors hiking. It is forested on top, so hard to find good views now that the leaves are out. But I found one hidden spot to take this shot of Old Rag rising through the clouds.

I took photos of mostly wildflowers since they were everywhere. But saw this log glowing from a great distance since this part of the forest is pretty open.

Meant to attach this up close shot...

I’ve always wanted to hike old rag but never did.

Good morning all. Had an almost completely dry day yesterday, trying to catch up on lots of little jobs, such as breaking up the concrete stanchion pads from where our front garden is to go. Concrete hammers soon tire me out !
Kyle, you are a lucky man, having so many talented kids to be proud of
Drew, I know that feeling, it is over two months since our JD dealer said he would have a mower for my wife to try "next week".
A couple of winters ago I bought in some wood to make a boat. I never got further than practicing scarf joints, the birch ply got used up on other jobs before I had time to clear out enough space in the workshop to start the build. This spring's weed build up in the top pond, coupled with rainfall so persistent that most of the water is deeper than what I can wade in, has persuaded me to look again at flat bottomed work boats. The cost of making one from ply still didn't look too bad until I priced the epoxy and glass matting. It got me wondering if there is a better alternative.
At first I assumed "plastic" boats would not be strong enough and difficult to repair, more suited to light use or toys A bit more reading showed my assumptions were wrong, with boatyards making really tough boats out of high density polythene (HDPE), the same plastic used for water pipes. Welding HDPE doesn't look too difficult, I think it would be fun to learn, however when I priced up sheets of HDPE and looked at adding ribbing for stiffness, it probably makes more sense to buy something 12' x 4' 6" pre-formed. Any practical experience from others would be most welcome.
If I lived by the sea, one of these "toy" plastic boats would be fun - Tideman boats

Popgadget, what size sheet can you get for that money ?
