Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 46° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72° with partly cloudy skies. Got another .6" of rain yesterday. Got shop cleaned up yesterday. Also a couple of small projects. Today it PT this morning then grocery shopping.

Kyle, I have surges protectors on everything that might be affected by a lighting hit. Computers and other stuff on UPS.

RNG, sending some of the left over rain your way. Going to be going the long way around the globe. Had to believe it is going to be there by Tuesday.

Popgadget, hope you get home today.

David, good on the BX. When you going to get the Mule?

Drew, enjoy your visit.

Everyone stay safe and healthy.

Good Morning All.

Morning all! 68 going to 69 with rain and thunder/lightning.

Neighbor says the hole was over a foot deep and covered with vegetation so he couldn't see it. He has mowed this field before with no issues. He hit the hole at full mowing speed and it stopped him dead.

The problem with the thermostat is it's to smart for it's own good. It can sense the inside temp,outside temp and can access the weather forecast for the future. It is supposed to take this into account and decide whether to run the air, heat pump or the oil furnace to save the most money. The air and heat pump are new but my oil furnace is 30ish years old. Installer and Honeywell trouble shooter couldn't get the setup parameters quite right. I think this is what is breaking the computer boards.
Installer came back yesterday and reset a few settings and the air is now working again.(fingers crossed that the heat will work when we need it! Glad I have the pellet stove in case it doesn't)

Need to fire up both tractors and get the yard mowed and ready for leaf drop season. With today's rain delaying mowing I can hopefully dig out the leaf vac and give it a service. I have new blades for the rider so will get that done also.

Doctors visit for me yesterday has me going back on blood pressure meds. We had stopped them temporarily to see if that was my issue of being cold all the time. I need a jacket at 70 degrees! Going to be a long winter if we can't figure it out. Will be playing with stomach meds next to hopefully find which one is the culprit.

Wife and I are doing fine other than that. She is in the process of maybe getting a part time job to keep busy.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Eric, took Sassy for her annual checkup 2 weeks ago. I had to wear a mask. Sassy did not have a problem with her shot. But she is a Shih Tzu. New people are the best people.

49 yikes and going to 75. Crystal clear,...great moonlight overnight helped me watch Old Gray Tail walking around near our house at 5am...we have company coming for the weekend, so didn't take any action that could have left a stink bomb in the front yard.

Don, sent you the milk fat info.

Sodamo...great buy for Soph...seems like a long wait, though...welcome to orange (Kub. version). I've lost long posts, too.

Eric, I took Coco to 5 vets during her last year...her regular vet, specialists, and emergency vet...all had the same protocol of waiting in parking lot, calling them, they come take the pet on lease, vet calls back to share findings and then office lady calls back to get payment info. At two of them the vet actually came out to my truck to talk. I liked them the best. They all said she was a sweetheart to handle. I miss Coco.

Mostly, 4 trees killed by lightning strikes is a lot of lightning strikes...I think if you are there doing chain saw work and a thunderstorm is predicted, scram!

Buppies, cool bear photo. Mama is certainly nearby.

Did some spackling touch up yesterday on a crack along the tape at the apex of the ceiling...used the pink type for the first time...pretty cool...goes on pink and turns white when dry...also did a little painting before mowing for a couple of hours. More today.
