Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

70°F and 1.26 inches rain. The wet remnants of the 2 diminished hurricanes.

Another day out in caretaker land. Can’t seem to locate my drywall pole sander. Of course it has been years since last use. Just may have to get another as it is such a work saver.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

That’s my problem , locating tools I know I have somewhere.

Went to worship this morning, now hanging out at hotel. Couple small storms have popped up according to radar. Had lunch at a local family place. Good food, large servings, ate too much.
Probably head out in an hour. Gotta go thru metal detector to get in to concert, yesterday we got in early, apparently line got extremely long and people missed half the show last night.

Did you remember your ear plugs? My wife always has a set in her purse.

62° right now...pretty wet outside, but doesn't look like it's raining now. Supposed to see more rain this morning and clearing up this afternoon....high in the upper 70's.
Reckon I'll pull the rest of the split rail posts. At least, see what I can do....I'm a lot better, but not 100% yet. If I'm up to it, I'll trim some branches and do my string trimming...

Question for you guys...any of you wear a respirator or mask when mowing? If so, what do you wear?

I just wear a decent quality particulate mask.

Toppop, one of the questions I have is what history books the school uses, how they deal with modern issues like Critical Race Theory, which is a sort of new
concept for all of us to understand, but not here. Oh no.
One of the board members is dean of students at Solebury School, a local non denominational private high school. She's black, highly educated of course and drove in
with a new white F150 Platinum with the eco diesel. Two thumbs up for that. She and I chatted for awhile, she was pretty curious about my minoring in Black Studies.
It's a different world than 20 years ago when I was on this school board before, world sure has changed. The school tries to stick with enduring values and be as flexible and inclusive
as possible. For 22k a year. You really have to want the faith component to send your child there because local high schools rank 9 and 10 out of 10, thanks to very high school taxes.
So if it's free to give your child a very good public education, like I had, why spend 22k a year for potentially 8 years?
The why is another topic not for here.
So while curriculum is off the table for board discussion, hard to totally get it off the table.
Pretty sure any of you that have sent their kids to faith based schools have dealt with same issues.

Buckeye, I hope the concert was good.

another mug of coffee coming up, maybe cranberry pancakes this morning.

Sounds like your board does it right, but I’m leery of all public schools today. Too much influence from administration that never had to live in the real world, and almost no parental input.what input they have is often ignored as the ramblings of the great unwashed.
Two of my grandsons go to a Christian school, the other goes to private school that is open to any faith or non at all. Literal history is taught and critical race theory is not. Students are about 45% white, 20% Asian, 10% black and 25% other.

Don’t have them. Needed them last night.

87 now, cloudy most of the day, a real nice shower about four this morning, 1/4” of needed rain and no thunder.
Church after breakfast then picked up the money pit.
Got the coach home this morning, first time I’d driven one in quite a while. No problems though. Front seats are not as comfortable for me as I’d like but overall very nice. Cabin a/c is not real cold so I’ll have to check that, the coach a/c is nice though. I have to replace the generator fuel filter, small leak. PO’s cleaning of the exterior left a bit to desire.
Most of the stuff is expected of something sitting so long, no big deals considering what we paid.
No major plans for the rest of afternoon. Maybe a nap.
Everyone have a pleasant day.

Since it dried up a bit from this morning's rain, went out and did some weed trimming...just enough until I started sweating...time for a beer, I think...
I am starting to build up my stamina...don't get winded quite as quickly
