36° right now...high in the upper 40's today.
Today's chores were already posted in #141,364 (Good morning!!!!) so no need to rehash them here

Drew, you need to get some nice warm slippers!!

Only downside is Margeaux thinks they're great chew toys so I gotta watch her around my slippers

Alien, that is one great looking barn!! Boy, would I love something like that!

Alien, that barn is an inspiration to us all.
What tall equipment is going in the higher area? Do you have a combine or something big to go in there?

I always wanted to have a dream man cave on the farm. Place to work on cars, machinery, full hvac for comfort.
Never got it, spent money on tractors instead.
Floor lift, wash bay, nice stereo system and a place for a couple guys to sit down. Maybe a wood shop on one end
with a big vac system to keep it clean. And a wood stove.

I believe a couple of folks on tbn have some amazing man caves.
Popgadget's garage second floor is cool with his musical instruments set up there.
Downstairs is stuffed full of tools and about two hundred Makita battery packs.
And a really big dog if you aren't supposed to be there. And attack alpacas.

PJ, if you come East, go visit Paul and the two Pauls can make some music together.
I'll run the tape recorder...
Actually PJ, you're becoming a pro at mixing and laying down those tracks.
Could be fun.

roy, good idea. I have a pair, by the bed too...have to remember to put them on.
But no dog to chew them. Margeaux, be good.

Good morning, low temp 34 and going to a high of 37°F. Wind ESE 6 mph. 30% chance of rain.

Nice looking barn, Alien.

Nice shot of a woodpecker, Ron.

I might go out and take some measurements for the curl cylinders today. They are a little weak. I did check the pressure on the hydraulic system (2500 psi) at the power beyond/3rd function port, so that is a relief. I don't have to monkey with the relief valve.

Other than taking the measurements, I don't think I will be doing anything.

Have a safe day all

Wingsprd hope wife test comes back negative

Prayers for all

Wngsprd, hope wife is ok. Prayers.

That is a nice looking barn, I need a tall bay for a camper to fit, it stays outside and the sun really takes a toll.

Started my pellet stove for first time this season last night.

I haven’t counted in a while, but I’m pretty sure that there is a lot fewer than 200 batteries. And the big dog (who is lying on the bed next to me) will only lick you and show you where the treats are stored. And I have often thought that it would be fun to get together with PJ.

It’s a good morning here, 35 outside going to over 50 with only a chance of rain. Son is down in the barn taking take of the alpacas in my wife’s absence, dog is taking advantage of empty spot in the bed. Son and I are going out to breakfast when he is done.

Yesterday was a pretty lazy day, took the battery out of the little airplane in preparation for the new one to arrive. It’s about the size of a U1 garden tractor battery, and $300. Probably cheaper than if it said boat battery on it though…..

Celebration of life for friend was a good time for all, with a few sad moments. A lot of music played, curiously there were 4 bass players there, so everyone got a break. Usually in these situations the one bassist plays all night, like the one drummer did last night. I’m guessing it was because so many bassists played with him, bass and drums usually work as a team forming the foundation.

Not much on the agenda after breakfast today, I had set up a remote switch that receives a cellular text signal to turn the engine heater on for the little plane, and it’s not working. I suspect that I let the prepaid SIM card run out of funds from monthly minimum charges rather than usage over the summer.

Good morning! 34 now, 44 later. Rain is on the way.

Wood burner has the house quite comfy. Apparently the one cat thinks, she has been on the hearth rug all morning.

Seems the farmer’s idea of 2 loads of wood and my idea is a bit different. Got most of it in the HF trailer, a little bit in the truck. The poor trailer was a bit overloaded again. Took it easy coming home. All split and stacked. Ironic, 1 year before, I wanted to split wood but didn’t to rest up from not feeling good off and on all week.

Thanks Ron, not sure anyone enjoys those stories. Since I gave them a sell by date, seems I have lost more patience. And yes, happy to be still here to relate what happened. It is odd, but I had suppressed a lot of those things, but those memories are back and quite vivid in my mind. There was some periods of brain fog, so not sure I will remember those days or even the right day.

1 year ago today was when everything went pear shaped. I barely slept Saturday night, had a fever (101+), my body ached, and the cough started. I am guessing this was the first sign of the Covid pneumonia had started. I was miserable and weak all day. That fever may not sound that high, but my normal temperature is 97.3. Late on Sunday was when I started having GI tract issues.it really went downhill from here.

Everyone stay safe out there

Good Morning!!!! 59F @ 8:00AM. Sunny. High 66F. Winds light and variable.
The 10-day is calling for showers the last day in November.

Was a load supposed to be a cord, Rich? Shouldn't be much debate if it was, but then again, if it's free, who cares? Did your sense of taste/smell completely recover yet?

Barn looks good, Doug. Will it have electricity when it's done?

I've had good luck storing gasoline engines dry, Drew. I worry that the modern gas, even E0, will still go after the rubber and plastic parts.

I was wrong about which was the hot wire in that junction box for the pump house flood light, but a few minutes work with a DVM got that straightened out. Still need to add the switch to Homekit, but I'll do that while the oats are cooking this morning.

Installed the new bushing and last bearing on the transmission input shaft yesterday, too, and now it's ready to go back together. Once my buddy gets here, we'll watch the reassembly part of a video, then follow the factory manual to keep us on the right track.

Sounded like someone was pounding on the front door this morning, and it looks like that yellow flicker poked a big hole in the kitchen window screen. It's days are numbered if the damage continues.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!
