Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Congrats toppop on the running golf cart!!
Hope Thomas and Buppies get better.

Tomorrow would have been moms 97th birthdays.

Another nice day, full moon tonight. Got home after dark, so not much happened tonight.
Been having trouble with iPhone charging cords not making good connections. Today at work, used a small plastic wire tie, and dug a bunch of lint out of the phone charging port. Used microscope to see, finally got down to the bottom. Amazing how much stuff was in there. Now the charge cords fit good again.
Just be careful you don’t mess up the connectors on the one side.

Work is now requiring everyone get the vaccine.

Need to get to bed so I can do it again tomorrow.

Congrats on check ride, Paul
Don, hope you knee is improving. Ted’s too.
And extra healing prayers for all in need.

Drew, hope you had some got some resolution on your shed.

Can’t imaging driving across that angled bridge. Interesting.

RS, you seem to score well being a good neighbor.

Randy, good to hear success on the golf cart. I still need to do mine. Seems less urgent with the new Mule
An aside, Sophie has used the new Mule more than me. Nice

Another 4 1/2 hours mowing. Finished yesterday’s area and maybe 3/4 of Hilo side, just the fat, mostly flat area left over there.

 

[sodamo]

Tonight’s moonrise. It really is the moon, not Sun

Not as glamorous as what you guys post, but I did have some accompaniment while mowing

 

[riptides]

48 outside this AM. Heading to mid 70's.

Got some seat time in, time to refuel and do some supervisory work today. Looks like more clearing and digging is on order for today. Not much else going on. Got my tax assessment yesterday. A 24 percent increase. Actually 24.385. Going to have to appeal that.

Hope all have a good day, be safe. Get well soon for those that are not feeling well.

good morning all

I just want to sit on David's tractor and look out over the ocean. What an incredible view, sure doesn't get old.

51 going up to 76 today, nice sunny Fall day.

Other than getting a flu shot, my only chore for today is one I have been putting off, and can't anymore.
Both brothers and family coming for a visit Saturday so I have to clean up the house thoroughly, particularly since I have my
first house guests next week. So on a lovely outdoor day think I'm going to be stuck washing and dusting. Haven't treated myself to a maid
in this tiny 900 sf cottage, hard to justify. That doesn't mean cleaning toilets is any more fun... So I'll crank up some lively tunes and make the whole house
smell like clorox and pledge.

going out to dinner next week with old friends, the three guys close friends since high school. Our annual dinner out was cancelled last year, looking forward to this one.
Every year we are all still there, we count it as a blessing.

after another 24 minutes on hold, finally got through to Rubbermaid CS.
I had to take a picture of the pile of parts and my receipt and list what parts I did get. Instead of sending me two of one panel
and two of another, they sent me four of one only. That sure doesn't fit together. Will be interesting to see how long this takes.
One thing I learned here, pay three times as much and get an Amish stick built shed delivered and all built ready to go.

Hope everyone is feeling better today.

 

[wngsprd]

46 going to 80. Nice one.

How are you doing Mr and Mrs Thomas?

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of hot coffee. 54° with light rain this morning. Heading to 63° with some heavy rain in AM. Got grass mowed yesterday. Lowered mower another 1/2", Maybe that will stop it from growing. Grocery shopping was good. Found everything on list on shelves. No plans for today yet.

David, great pictures.

Thomas, hope you are getting better.

Riptides, 24% increase in value of property. Assessor must not have had a sharp pencil.

Popgadget, glad ride went well.

Randy, good golf cart is running good.

Don, good you took a knee rest day.

Chris, when you find out what was lost keeping pants up. Please let me know. I started wearing suspenders a couple years ago.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[Buppies]

Ron if that is a blue jay kinda small vs local ones

One thing I learned here, pay three times as much and get an Amish stick built shed delivered and all built ready to go.

Especially since you're right in Amish country!!
BTW, if you've never been, visit the Green Dragon outdoor market sometime. It's only open one day a week (used to be Tuesdays, IIRC) and it might be too late this year.
Fun walk around, and you can get some funnel cake!

 

[ronjhall]

Ron if that is a blue jay kinda small vs local ones

It was about normal size. Feeder roof it is on is one of my larger feeders.
Yesterday's Tufted Titmouse was normal size also.

One thing I learned here, pay three times as much and get an Amish stick built shed delivered and all built ready to go.

My Amish built shed, which we call our pool house is assessed at over 50k!

I found out a while ago, that my assessors office was fond of a google maps like product. ArcGIS is what they use. They determine square footage by overhead pictures. So if something is reflecting a nice roof, like a lean to or run in, it gets caught and classified as a building.

I have 14 structures on my property. LOL.

David, that was a nice pic. I'd roast the hogs.

 

[Thomas]

low grade fever gone nose clearing up chest still a little tight coughing but not constant

Prayers sent Thomas

Feels like I started entering that phase this morning.

Glad your almost to the end of tunnel.

 

[Popgadget]

Good Morning.
It’s 50 with a high of 75 and fair skies for today.

I have to take a checkride every six months, some can be done in the sim, some have to be in an actual plane with an actual FAA inspector. As many of them as I have endured, I still don’t like them, but it’s the price I pay to do something that I still enjoy.

I’m still playing catch-up here, but speaker is gone, the need for mowing is slowing down, but I’ve got to get inside the small pastures and mow. Most of them I can get with the tractor and 8’ 3PT mower, but there’s a couple that are easier with the Lazer. So maybe I’ll get to work on them today. Also need to spread manure and mend a few fences. Since my wife retired, her medical coverage is going away, so we’re finishing the transition to Medicare today as well. So I won’t be bored today.

Here’s a sunset from over Connecticut looking over the sound at Long Island Tuesday evening on my way back from Concord.

It’s views like this that make it seem like fun rather than work. Packing a suitcase would make it seem like work, but I very rarely have to do that any more. And having help like this in the barn is even more reason to be home. I’m sure that he will be on the job mowing and spreading manure today.

 

[Thomas]

46 going to 80. Nice one.

How are you doing Mr and Mrs Thomas?

Mrs. has slight cough sinus headache other than that
Myself entering the next phase of Buppies foot steps...swore chest from coughing,no cold chills,coughing lot less.

The kittens seems to enjoy our down time,when we take naps or lay arounds both are right there picking out there spot.

 

[Thomas]

43F cloudy mid 60's for high.

Outside chores done toast time.

Plans for today...not all that much may try kick some leaves around.

Enjoy your day all.

Has there been enough run-off to raise the level of the lake?

The level of Lake Oroville has come up a foot since September 30 of this year, but we've only had a little more than 3/4" since then. The 10-day forecast is still calling for a hair more than 7" between now and next Tuesday, so there's hope. Unfortunately, more than 4" of that is forecasted to fall on Sunday, and chances are very good there will be flash floods in the fire scars left from last year and this. I might even see some erosion along the trench line up to the top of the hill.
