Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Well, didn’t make it to work, but I got 2 more tons of wood pellets in the barn, and a little over a ton left over from last year in the front

Thermometer says 77° and 73% humidity. My body says humidity is much higher. Been overcast looking like rain. Need to start mowing, more rain coming tomorrow, maybe inches.

Can't carry a tune in a bucket, but I sure love listening to music. Still buying CDs, last one was a "Best Of" from The Association. Marvelous harmonies...

I still buy CDs, too. I just don't completely trust digital downloads. If the hard drive crashes, your music is just gone. I know some websites have records that you bought music there and will download it again, but not all do. And if you have obscure stuff bought elsewhere, it's just gone. I have most of my collection ripped to several USB thumb drives (by category) for listening in my car. If those die, I can always just rip the music to new drives. I still own the CDs.

The deer love lilies here, RS. They never even get to bloom.

Interesting.

We don't seem to have much problem with them eating the daylilies here ... but then they are all currently right up against the house so that may deter them.

The Stella D'Oro's are supposed to be deer-resistant ... I assume that might mean there's something about their fragrance (or taste) that they don't care for.

The Woman had an Asiatic Lily at one point (also next to the house) but it got killed off, possibly due to overly-aggressive digging in the area or maybe chipmunks.

Maybe you'll have better luck with deer scram than I do?

I've moved on to E-Coriganite (bio-solids sludge) from Menards - it should be a much more cost effective solution (provided that it works) and is also a fertilizer.

Trouble with any of these things is that you have to actually deploy them (and remember to do so ... )

Glad you passed the final.

Good luck on getting the ground leveled and the rust screened out ...

It's hard to imagine that local neighborhood where 70 people lost what most felt I'm sure
was a member of their family. Lot of concentrated sadness. And a lot of new adopted pets, which is the only bright side.

my point on the weather was that tropical weather patterns seem to be moving North, and subtropical
weather seems to be moving that way also. Last year was the warmest year on record.
Two hurricanes joined in August of 1955 and almost washed my little town away. So yes it sure happens here.
My point was I believe the pace is intensifying. Just watch water boil slowly, then turn up the knob a notch.
I believe Mother Nature is turning up the knob, caused some would say by our wrecking the ozone and other
ecological disasters. Maybe we are on just a big cycle.
I'm sure there are those who think the ice age is coming back.

My best guess is Mr Sun is going to keep frying us for a very long time to come, and things will ever so slowly get warmer.
The ice will melt, the seas will rise, and hopefully we will have found another way to live on this earth, like underwater, since we're partially to blame
for the mess up top. All those city folk won't fit on the mountains...though I hear Afghanistan has some openings...
Or off this planet all together, either in giant space stations or other nearby worlds. And Mr Musk's son will take you there. He surely will.
With a drive in a Massey Ferguson rover when you get there.

Paul, your place was nicely mowed today, they did a good job. Tomatoes and the first apples from Manoffs were delivered.
yeah for the apple season starting.

need to get moving, lawn still has to be mowed. Pretty cloudy out.

 

[Thomas]

70F slight wind more blue sky than clouds.

Plan for today use tractor in front field remove few rocks and level with back blade,almost to work spot front tractor sunk down 4" quickly put in 4wd drive back out...whew,couple hours rut was full of water.
Today was another putter day but did enough to earn my supper.

No plan for the evening just old movie share bowl ice cream.

Enjoy your evening all.

I learn my lesson from last time from not check ground ground...needed extra muscle.

 

[Bird]

Forecast for tomorrow is 56 degrees to 82 degrees with up to 30 mph breeze. Sounds wonderful to me. I plan to mow the yard early while it's cool AND the forecast breeze should keep the dew off the grass. Ought to be a great day.

I went to see my dentist yesterday for the first time in a long time. The pandemic has made me a bit hesitant, but also before the hot weather arrived, a sprinkler system in the dentist's office sprung a BIG leak (flooded the building), so she was shut down most of the summer while they completely remodeled the place. She did what was absolutely necessary at another dentist's office in the area, but I wasn't having any dental problem so I waited until now. So I just got my teeth cleaned and polished, and a set of x-rays made; no problems.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Would someone ask Alice which ones are good?

Larger than a softball.

 

[Buppies]

Over an inch of rain so far this is great

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Buppies, glad you getting the rain you need.

Good thing I took off and mowed today, lots of rain showing on the radar. Got it all done.
The last 3rd of a 3 prong tree fell across my path to the creek.

Even though it was rotten, it had limbs with leaves.
When the first one fell, it went across road and took out power lines, snapping one of the poles seen in background.

The 2nd one fell along my path. This one was leaning where it fell, and I was always nervous driving past it.

 

[Buppies]

2 inches now and climbing

 

[rswyan]

68F and cloudy @ 22:00, heading down to 66F for the low.

Total precipitation from the station to the south of us since midnight is 0.33". Rain tapered off during the day, but there's more headed in tomorrow, with the possibility of over 1" and heavy rain.

Day went about like I expected: spent most of the day in the fish room, doing partial water changes, cleaning tanks, feeding fish. Fed five containers of white worms, harvested one and feed everyone, have one more container still to feed. Should be able to finish up in there tomorrow.

Did get grease fitting cleaner and some shrink-wrap ordered from Amazon which should be here tomorrow.

The Woman made spaghetti sauce and cooked up some noodles for dinner, was very tasty ...

Hope everyone had a great day.

good morning all
cloudy day up to about 80 today, before rains come in,
flash flood watch already posted, based on 2-3 inches of rain expected tomorrow

need to tidy up house a bit after breakfast, landlady coming with new lease.
Based on cost of real estate locally, pretty much have given up on buying so I asked for a 5 year lease
here and landlady was happy to oblige. I can always move if some really good opportunity comes up but for now
I'm ok where I am.

I hope to go to Home Depot with friend and his truck this afternoon, looking for a garden shed and also an electric stove.
I was told two months, end of August, for plain white stove. Now end of September and no ETA on stove. So looks like I have to go
grab what is available, not concerned over brand name, just basic and white. I have called local HD store three times and no human being
picks up the phone, just rings and rings after message saying "limited availability". So good possibility I come home with nothing but I've given up
trying to have a shed shipped.

oil burner tech coming this morning to clean oil burner. Landlady doesn't do that, I think a big mistake. Oil burner is ten years old, can only imagine
what Beckett burner looks like after ten years of gunk accumulated. Techs want to come every year, I'd be happy with every three years considering I'm burning
relatively little fuel oil in this small house.

Poured first cup of coffee. 53° with rain this morning. Heading to 57° with continued rain. 1.61" of rain so far. Got vacuum adapter done and installed yesterday. Works very well. Cleaned furnace. Replaced filter and humidifier pad. Let it run one cycle. Ready for fall weather. Did not get shop cleaned. Back on list for today.
This may be last Hummingbird picture this year.

Alien, sure wish they get you shed done before christmas.

Mostly, I have had been having similar problems with my printer. If you have a HP printer this may help. HP print and scan Dr.

Buckeye, good load of pellets. Tree is down. More firewood? Thanks for fixing picture.

Bird, hope you get grass mowed early.

Wngsprd, great pictures.

RNG, almost time for a Drone picture/video now that project is done.

David, bathroom project is looking very good.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

 

[mpham]

Morning all!
63 going to 71.
More problems with the air condition unit. 4th thermostat replaced as per Honeywell factory tech and now nothing works! Progress...Not! Installer will be back this morning.(almost a year it hasn't been right!!) Intermittent problem that is impossible to find so far. Thermostat thinks it's cold in the house and cranks on the furnace no matter the temp inside or out.

Working on the neighbor's B2350 today and yesterday. He hit a hole in his yard and bent all the brackets holding the mid mount mower deck on. So far he has ordered about 500 dollars worth of parts. I have the new parts installed and the unit working. Need to get it adjusted level today and he should be good to go. Fingers crossed the deck isn't bent.

I went to clean the mower deck on my John deere and see that I have a blade with a chunk missing! oops! Did you know it is very rocky in New England?

We had some cold temps last week so the garden is pretty much all dead. Only the tomato plants and carrots are left. Wife removed all the other ones.

Health wise we are fine for our age. LOL.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

 

[Buppies]

68 still raining 4.95 inches since yesterday still humid but fall like temperatures on the way at least for the rest of the week

Sorry about the shed Alien but sign of the times one three quarter ton truck needs tranny three weeks to get rebuilt one two weeks for him to rebuild if seals are available our Country is in a mess

Prayers for all our Country

 

[Buppies]

Put bird feeder out yesterday for several hours birds happy must watch out for Bear the bird feeder raider

for Mostly:
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
