Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Morning all, storm knocked us for a loop last night.
Pool is full of mud from the downhill river, didn't account for high winds trying to push the water uphill.
Power out over night.
Cable/internet just finally came back.
Down the hill, abandoned cars being towed-stuck in the flood waters. Why don't people listen??

Will be spending the next few days floc'ing the pool and vacuuming. Some trees fell in the woods, that will wait for now.
Got chainsaw cleaned up and ready just in case yesterday, but generator, so far, was all I needed last night.
Not sure how much rain as plastic gauge broke!

Stay safe and be well.

this trench is about 3 feet deep and 5 feet wide , 150' long -didn't help this time...

Baby came to check in on us last night

no ice cream cones from Dilly's for a while
this is a main road too, about a mile from here
that is the bridge over to Stockton NJ.
this is no repave job, they have to rebuild the whole road

70°F and .05 inches rain

Moving on from tiling the floor. 2 seemingly unrelated tasks, installing electrical fixtures, clearing and prepping the main floor for the laminate.

Hand & Foot this afternoon. As Don realizes sometimes we are just stuck with the cards dealt. I remain hopeful the guys can maintain

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Very nice job Sodamo

I always try to negotiate price but right now hard to do.

Very nice tile job I really like tile bathrooms

Thanks. So do I. This will be my 8th bathroom although taking the minimalist approach this time only floor and shower.

Go that way all the time, not the first time that road has washed out , looks pretty bad.

Kyle, the local BMW dealer here used to sell Ural side cars. I guess I can see the point of opening up a club to more members, but I also see RNG's point about not messing with a good thing. If it ain't broke, ...

Back when BMW first came out with the K-bikes, they created huge divisions in the BMW motorcycle community as people jumped on what was supposed to be the next greatest thing. Not long after that, the Airheads club formed to give the old timers a place to gather. And every once in a while, some new folks step up to serving on the board, and get concerned about finances and start talking about dues increases and allowing a broader variety of folks as members. Long time members quit, tempers flare, and the budget gets tighter than ever. Then the old timers reclaim the board, put things back the way they started out, and membership numbers recover. Looks like we're starting a new cycle now. People who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

73F and sunny @ 13:00, headed up to a high of 74F.

Have a good bit of grapple work to do today around the property now that we've gotten that hooked up, cleaning up fallen limbs and trees. Think there might be at least one black locust in that mix, which would be nice.

May move some large boulder here while I have it on.

Then head over to neighbor's to do some grapple clean up work for her.

Amazon just dropped off oil filters for the Cub so probably will knock that out later.

Then possibly mow upper front or down around the house, depending on how they look. GreenCast shows soil temp down to 69F ...

After that there's more ferrying of dirt from the dirt pile down to the creek crossing/pole barn and getting that graded out and compacted.

Will hold off on spraying until tomorrow when winds are lower.

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

Back when BMW first came out with the K-bikes, ... was supposed to be the next greatest thing.

When I went "window shopping" one day in 1990 at BMW Motorrad in St. Louis, they had a new '90 K100LT and an '89 R100RT that had about 10k miles on it. Salesman - also named Paul - told me the guy who owned it used to ride to Columbia MO to see his kid at Mizzou. He came back in after a year and traded it for a K100LT. So, I took both for a test ride. Not gonna lie; that K100LT was a sweet ride. However, the R100RT blew it away in balance. The lower center of gravity of the boxer engine made a huge difference in how it handled. I picked up the R100RT the next day. Wife dropped me off on the way to work, and I rode it to work. I put 75k miles on that thing over the next two years. Rode the dickens out of it.

Coffee is brewing. 51° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 76° with sunny skies. Yesterday was another great day visiting with my sister. Went threw 2 crates of pictures from my mother. Started scanning the selected pictures. Grocery shopping today. No other plans.

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs PJ.

David, tile looks good. I am happy with my Mule. Make sure Sophie will like the added height getting on the Mule. Make sure it has power steering. Some models do not. My SX without power steering steers without problems. I follow a group on facebook. Kawasaki Mule enthusiast. For me roof and windshield are a must. Rear window is needed in my area. Dust flies up. Trailer hitch is nice. I have a 2" square one off Ebay. I have added bed liner and extender. Rear lights and dome light. I have the cargo compartment under seat. Mirrors. Charging ports for phone. Front floor mat. Have fun shopping.

Buckeye, drive safe if you go out on flooded roads.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

Thanks, Ron. Great report. While I can easily talk myself up to way more capability than I need, maybe I need a kickback to reality and remember I’m upgrading from a golf cart. One of the main benefits of the gc is the nimble size. That may be more comparable to the SX. And if I’m honest with myself I’m not planning any projects requiring a workhorse. But a more tricked out, nimble machine could be it. Didn’t read about power steering for SX on the Kawasaki site, maybe I missed it. My gc is lifted so height is similar. Sophie as already commented I’d want the roof, likely the windshield. Rear window little to no value to me and I would hope train the dogs to ride in the back at times.
Appears to be no SX inventory on island, need to look at Honolulu.

More thinking, more research.

I don’t even want to tile a 5x5 with large tiles. Lol.
