Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Good morning to all! Low was a nice 50°, high should hit 67°. Wind returned last night, a constant 20-30 mph, gust a little higher. Supposed to be worse this afternoon.

My friend pulled out this morning to head back to Arizona for a couple of weeks, then heading up to the NW for a month. They haven't worked out the full trip, but then heading over to Minnesota and the Dakotas. They'll do 4-5 months on the road.
He asked if I could convert the recliner area into a dinette.... not sure if I want to take on that job. Not hard to do, just time consuming.

Mostly, I hope you have fun on the ride and the drive back isn't as bad traffic wise.
Paul, nice job on the crossovers.

Ken, nice daffodils. Our bulbs are just starting to emerge. No sign of the asiatic lilies yet.... The grape hyacinths are blooming though.

I saw Lowes has their yearly sale on mulch this week.... gonna be making a couple trips to get 2 pallets worth (100 bags). Can't beat 5 bags for $10.

I'm undecided on today's agenda. Might just put the feet up.....

Everyone have a great day!

Thanks for the compliments.
I do wind my own inductors when I have to, but those were all store bought. I usually get a little higher value than I need, then unwind them to spec. I can buy them much cheaper than I can wind them. The big issue is supply, inductors I can adjust or wind myself, but capacitors are another story. I have had some on back order for almost a year.

Doug, sounds like you found the right prescription

52, off and in clouds, windy and just plain cold. Did a complete litter box swap out and cleaning this morning. Dumped in the tractor bucket and hauled it back to the woods.
Mowed grass 10 days ago and it needs it again. This was supposed to be flower planting day, but too miserable with the wind.
I watched Ford vs Ferrari last night, very entertaining. Not sure about the rest of the day, but it won’t be outside.
I hope everyone keeps improving.

MotoGP racing about to air on NBC here stateside. Live from Austin Circuit of the Americas racetrack. 1pm central.

48F and partly cloudy @ 14:00, heading up to a high of only 54F. Winds out of the WNW @ 10 to 20 mph.

Refilled hopper and deer feeder last evening, also two suet feeders ... saw a red-bellied out on one of them a little bit ago. Also woodchuck out in flower bed ... had to bang on window to send him scurrying for his hole.

I haven't been outside yet today, but I think I'm inclined to agree with top: probably a little cooler than I'd prefer it to be, to be outside working ... particularly if it involves riding around in the cool breeze ... so will probably not be coring the lawn today.

With a predicted high temp of 66F, Tuesday seems like a much better choice ...

Instead I think I'll work on sterilizing some screened compost and getting seeds started for the garden. Went out in the garage last night and located the peat pots and brought them inside. There were 16 left ... times 8 holes each = 128 ... should be enough to get started.

Beyond on that, not sure what all I'll get into ... although I think I hear some dirty dishes that are calling my name.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable Sunday ...

I always thought that a class C would be nice to have..... until I saw the cost these days.... That and the added maintenance, decided that a nicely done upgraded trailer would sufice.

That’s what we said after talking about it awhile. I said with a trailer, we can unhook and drive around. But still would be nice to drive it instead of pulling it.
We are looking for property we can camp on for a few years.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I am curious.... what was the cost on the lot that you decided against?

Messaged you.

Thanks. The caps and inductors we use at work, I have to use microscope to see them. Lol

As soon as we got home from worship and lunch, I got trash out, carried a bag of pellets up from the barn, came in and started the stove. Wind is chilly out. 45°

Hope a nap will kick in soon.

tuckered out, glad to be home
temp said 49 out but while planting pachysandra at church it started to snow and sleet on us. Very strange, must be moisture up high.
Only did about a third of the plants but I'd rather go back another day when it's warmer. Lot of bending over, good exercise but I'm feeling it.

depressing call from oldest friend, had a hernia checked, wife said get a complete scan, glad he did, sort of...told him he has a lot of nodules growing in him and he failed the PET scan. Not good.
Biopsy next week, then chemo for some kind of lymphoma I'm guessing. His daughter is my godchild. At least his wife and daughter are nurses, he will be well taken care of.
I hope he does as well as I did...

made hotel reservations in Washington NC for my trip in May down to Charleston. Too long a drive for me so I break it up this way and go visit old friends in Washington.
Hopefully it will be nice weather and I can sit on my friend's porch overlooking the Pamlico River. Once I get to Folly Beach, will have the ocean to look at. I bought a modest
metal detector to take on my trip and do a little detecting on the beach. Might just be a doubloon or two waiting for me

my sister and I think we have the same wheat allergy. Fast food buns have me coughing and reacting for about five minutes, then it goes away. Now I avoid them anyway.
She says her husband bakes all their own bread, seems to like sourdough the most.
She was off to go for a hike that sounded interesting: Now off to hike “steep ravine” in Muir Woods. Exactly that —
a super steep ravine where one expects a hobbit to pop out behind a huge redwood tree.

I wonder if RNG has hobbits nearby. I mean, it is California.

I bought a Minelab SDC2300 months ago and haven't been fit enough to take it for a walk yet. I have had many detectors over the years and done well with them but I was resting on my laurels when I bought this one. Not sure I am fit enough for that caper anymore.

Anticipating a full day with TurboTax today broken up by frequent encounters with spreadsheets. An energy conservation day physically, but not mentally.

Just finished mine about an hour ago it took about 4.5 hrs, and I thought I was all organized! Don't know why but doing taxes stresses me out. Just now got the email they were accepted. Time for a stress reduction beverage

Stay well and heal quickly
Prayers for all

I don't think I could ever find enough gold to offset the price of the detector, but it would be fun trying.

I'm planning on working on mine tomorrow.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Waiting on my refund. I never got the last stimulus, so claimed that, which they said would slow the return.

Nothing accomplished this weekend, back to the grind again in the morning.
Old cat laying on my lap, new cat on the other lazyboy. We are getting one of snagglepuss kittens when they are old enough, probably the calico.

I got my metal detector from Amazon. Works ok. Found lots of dropped fence staples when I was removing an old fence. It finds my corner pins.

I detected full time for gold for a couple of years in Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland. Found enough to keep me going even though it wasn't worth much compared to now. Also got to see a lot of remote Australia. All compass and maps in those days. I had our wedding rings made out of some of the gold I found. This is one of the few pics I have left after losing several computers/photos over the years. I found several hundred nuggets.
