29 headed to 62, did not expect this.
A lot of planting to do but not until these freezes are past.
BEF, I tried talk wife into one of those kittens but I failed.
I need to mow again and I need to put the deck on the tractor so father in law can help.
Gotta run, check in later.

35 outside this AM. Nice and sunny start. Weather people are saying it might go up to 70 today.
May hop on the mowers again. Ride number two for the season.
Had to go to the big box store again for lumber this weekend. Managed to get one window replaced in the milk house. Took the whole original window out case included. Rebuilding from scratch is a challenge since all wood dimensions are nominal these days. I got it done, and just have three more to do. Original opening was not square, that was a first for me, dealing with that issue. A window a day is the goal for this week. Then I will start on the electric and busting a door opening through the wall that housed the electrics and what not way back when. Should be fun dealing with the wall construction, concrete mix over wire mesh.
Hope all have a good start to the work week. Be safe, get healthy,

Good Morning.
It’s 39 with a high of 60 forecast under clear skies.
Yesterday started the same way, but had brief showers with snow and graupel. My day started with installing the speakers in the restaurant ceiling and getting them wired and connected. I lucked out and picked the right taps on the 70v transformers to balance the levels.
Next up was to build the input plates for the batch of speakers I’m building. Started off by laying out and punching the holes. I use a plywood template and spotting punch to make the layout quick.
After they’re punched and drilled, next step is to add the input jacks and controls.
Next step is to wire them to the crossovers and install them after the speakers have the finish on them.
My daughter came with my mom’s old Kitchen Aid Mixer to clean and grease. I gave her a place to work and some help, but it’s her project.
She cleaned out all the old grease, put a lot of parts in the ultrasonic tank, and cleaned the exterior finish with compound and automotive wax. That mixer is at least 50 years old, I know that it made my wedding cake 48 years ago.
Last thing was to drive to Allentown and have dinner with the mechanic that came to lead the charge on removing the failed engine. Of course I forgot to bring him the logbook for that engine, so I guess I’ll be taking him out to lunch today…….

Morning all, 39 going up to 60 and the sin is out.
Was windy, snow, rain, sleet, none of which was in the forecast until about the time it happened.
Got a lot of tree trunks and branches bucked up and cleared out a fallen tree by the roadside.
So about 3 hours in what seemed like gale winds and sleet, but I am so far behind on getting ready for spring.
Started raking a few areas too, to get cleaned up in front of the house.
Got good news yesterday- my Friends daughter is getting married, can't wait to go to the wedding in December.
Him and I go back to kindergarten.
Drew sorry to hear about your friend- hope he responds well to treatment.
Helogabals - Happy birthday to your boys!
I may try to plant a few rows of corn and some pumpkins this year. Probably just feed the deer, but have never planted corn before.
Still tree shopping, wife wants a Japanese Black Pine, but hard to find. Have over 20 forsythia on order and just ordered some weeping willows for the one wet area. Pretty bard there now and about 50-60 feet wide, so should keep the mess contained pretty well, need to drop a few trees there so they don't come down on the new trees when they arrive.
Stay safe and be well,

Nice job popgadget. Interesting to see. Are the metal plates already made before you start punching holes? What gauge metal ?
Nice pic Ken.

I thought Alligator anti-venom was pretty funny.

Ken, get 1 forsythia, they grow fast, root fast, and grow more and more and more real fast. All mine I haven’t trimmed lately have plenty of new ones coming up underneath.
If you was close I’d give you some.

48F going up to 61f blue sky and sunshine.
Looks like our local deer have a taste for pansies. Darned deer!
I thought the new Medcram talk was interesting. He talks about the possible health benefits of getting out in the sunshine. Of course my Doc tells me not to get too much sunshine.

63°F and cloudy this morning, steadily dropping through the day down into the mid 40s. 54° and rain right now. Looks like we'll get rain here much of the day.
Felt a little under the weather this weekend. Had some sniffles and sneezing going on for a couple of days starting Thursday, then yesterday it magically disappeared. Much better today. Didn't get much done on Saturday, other than finally getting the new tires ordered for the mowers. Ouch. Decided to get out in the sunshine yesterday and get some mowing done. Still pretty soft in a lot of places, so I just used the self-propelled walk-behind. Got the fenced in yard and the side area between the house and the barn before I pooped out, about an acre. Good exercise. I might even consider doing more of that this year.
Nice work on the crossovers, Paul. I have wondered in the past about the viability of using wood instead of pc boards, which are expensive to have made in small batches.
I, too, have a handful of people I regularly follow on YouTube. I don't watch TV at all, but I can sit for hours watching stuff on YouTube.
