Good morning!!!!

[Rich B1]

All 4 of my over grown tomato plants fell over in the wind today. Some limbs off dead ash trees down. Ground is damp, so it wasn’t that bad of a day at home. Very humid out there this evening.

Found replacement saddlebags to replace the one destroyed in the deer strike last week. Gave up on sorting out the non- charging dynamo off the BSA and shipping it to a specialist.

Everyone stay safe out there.

Got more computer programs loaded, especially one that lets me view my old DGN and DWG CAD files of my house and garage design. Also have lot drawn out. Could not find file for when I added the barn, but got paper copy of it. It might be on old desktop machine. I found files from when I taught a CAD course at the community college back in mid 90s. Put windows photo viewer on.. MS dropped it from win10 and have a new photo app, but I like the old one better. Just gotta add it to registry.
Sorted some of the files. Everything that wasn’t on my backup drive goes there first, then copied over.
Been keeping list of all software installs, and any codes needed to install. I had lots of SW that just won’t get loaded as I don’t use any more. I try lots of programs, and forget to remove. Still need to install scanner sw.
quicken, excel, and photos are my 3 main usages, my phone does about everything else.

Buckeye.. I just use paint.NET for photos. I have photoshop but Paint is so darn quick and easy I use it 99% of the time. Mainly for resizing. I only use Photoshop if I am cropping an object out of an image.

71° right now...hi in the upper 80's today...

Best night's sleep I've had this week (so far). Sunday and Monday I woke by midnight and tossed and turned until the alarm went off at 0315. Made for long days and difficulty in concentrating. Still woke early (0210), but feel more refreshed

First cup of coffee is cooling. 69° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 88° with afternoon thunderstorms. Yesterday was a conserve energy day. Today maybe the same.
Last years young goldfish are starting to change colors. No sightings of this years young ones.

Randy, that's about what I paid for 6 tires on my MH. Did it 3 times in 12 years.

Buckeye, good you are getting new computer set up with software.

Bird, I started wearing mask at stores last week.

Drew, if you get a motorhome you can stay at my place and run my B2910 cutting back field. Have to warn you it is very rough ground.

Thomas, hope you gout goes away quickly.

Don, good dentist report. Sad about friends and neighbors.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
.70 rain last night, watered all my veggies and flowers nicely, sure beat up the tomatoes but at least the
whole thing didn't topple over.

off to PT this morning and then will start process of looking at tractors.
Sent rv pics and info to three siblings and three friends yesterday and all 6 told me not to buy the rv, not to go out there by myself at my age
and health, and to do something more at home. Ok...Nothing I didn't already know but sometimes it helps being confirmed by others.
And I can admit my normal "I can do anything" approach is tempered a bit by almost dying last year. Rattles one's confidence...

going to be ghastly hot today, 95 and humid. Ugh.

 

[Thomas]

Mostly...
"Thomas did you mean 9AM?"
Yes...and by the feel of the weather same today.

Ron, I promise you if I find a lady friend to go traveling with me, I'll come visit in an rv.
Very nice of you to offer. And I sure was looking forward to passing through Texas...
