46° right now...high in the mid-60's and more rain...

I see Microsoft has updated Edge again.... this one really sucks and uninstalling requires more work than it should. I haven't tried it yet, but this is the procedure

How do I delete the new microsoft edge update - Microsoft Q&A

How Do I delete the new microsoft edge update? I am unable to access a program that I need to use for work.

answers.microsoft.com

MS has got to learn to allow the user to install any updates, along with a method to uninstall it...before the class action lawsuit

The UTI came back with a vengeance, again, yesterday. I think it's something I'm drinking (coffee, although I've really cut down). Anyway, I tried these:

It's a bit embarrassing to bring this up, but for others who may have the same problem, those pads really work well. Also, quite discrete

Doctor's appointment this afternoon...cardiologist

good luck today with cardio doc Roy.
sorry about leakage, I wore those for three weeks two years ago.

wish it wasn't going to rain this morning. Maybe car valet guy will get here before it starts and I can put the car away clean.
They usually wash them after an overnight stay. They took it on Friday and returning Tuesday. And gave me the almost identical car as a loaner.
I am reminded of Roy's saying so I know the cost is built in, but the convenience is worthwhile for me.

My brother's daughter is up with two small boys, I'll be seeing them on Wednesday. I asked what the kids liked and was told lollipops.
Ok. One small bag of sugar free Jollipops has arrived and ready to bribe little kids. They will remember that Uncle Drew
brings the good stuff...

Good morning, all! Fine day today, going up to 61°F here in town. Taking the dog to the vet for his annual flea/tick treatment, and then the wife may get her cast off at 12:30 surgeons appointment today! Also finally getting my new MacBook Pro that I ordered back in February through the University.

Easter is coming up. Time to order the turkey!

Spring is certainly here, and the ice is starting to melt on our bay up north. It’s about time! Looking forward to putting the water toys back in and hooking up the dock. Up north here we have to disconnect the dock and float it out into deep water so it doesn’t get broken up when the ice does.

Each season has its own adventures. One of ours in Spring is to sit outside in the evening on the deck and listen to the creek roaring past, some 10 feet from the cottage. Then the Suckers start migrating up the creek. Someone told me that having suckers means your lake is in good health, but I have heard mixed reviews on the eating.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Good morning! 46 now, supposed to get to 67 today and no rain. Likely best day of the week, may get some outside stuff done. The 10 day forecast continues to be cool and damp.

I have used a shoulder strap for years when string trimming. Makes it bearable.

Needed an odd bolt yesterday for the race bike. Engine mounts work better when they have correct parts installed . Fortunately found the bolt at one of the 2 industrial supply places locally. 3/8-16X10 is not that common. So that is now fixed. Removed the crudely welded bracket from the frame. Gonna make an electric tray for the tail section next.

But today hope to spend some outside time. Been precious little of that with the weather we have had.

Everyone stay safe out there!

Good Morning.
It’s 48 and should make it to a sunny 70 after some passing showers this morning.

Yesterday went according to plan, more or less. I had to get a jack adapter for the tail of the airplane from Philadelphia to Allentown as well as the engine logbook. I got another pilot to go get the adapter and bring it to me, which saved me two hours of driving. I made good use of that time, making some speaker progress and helped daughter with her mixer project, which came out pretty well.

It’s interesting that this mixer is 600 watts, and the new version is only 300 according to my daughter.

I got to Allentown in time to help lift the engine off, I ended up being the forklift operator.

It’s a pretty compact package for 1650 horsepower, weighs a bit over 600 lbs. they did find some broken bolts, suggesting a a vibration issue, the core turns at 43,000 rpm, so there can be significant vibration that isn’t easily felt.

I’m not sure what is on tap for today, Emily has taken a turn for the worse, and can barely get up or move around, it’s time for a hard decision as to what is best for her.

Although suckers are bony, filet them to get the bones out. They taste like whitefish when they are deep fried.

Quite a few years ago whenever I went smelt fishing, if we caught suckers we would do them up along with the smelts, pan fry the smelts and deep fry the suckers. A good feast along with a box (24) or two of beer.

Morning all 49 and going up to 73, rain, then maybe a day of sun, then rain, then some sun.
Got some sticks picked up and cleared out where the forsythias and other stuff will go of small sticks.
Need tractor to get larger rounds, still too wet.
Trench which is normally dry a day after rain stops, now has a constant flow....

Roy sorry to hear the UTI is acting up, hope Dr. appt goes well and they help you out.

My Aunt goes in for an operation later in the month, this is the one that needs monthly blood transfusions due to her cancer.

Check - bet she us happy to see the cast cast away.

PopG Sorry to hear about Emily, hard decision, but still hope you don't have to make it.

BEF - the area you show with the forsythia looks similar in size, we are thinking of putting in golden mops in front well spaced and then trees in each of the two curves. Also have 2 Almond trees and a pine and a Burr Oak in that area.

Stay safe and be well,
Stick pile from the one area, about 6' high, my height. Prepped for the chipper.

The area, sticks came from center, rounds are 12 - 30+" in the center that needs to be removed

Good Morning!!!! 36F @ 4:30AM. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 62F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
Only 0.07" of rain fell yesterday, not far off the 0.1" predicted. Lots more on the way, at least in the forecast.

Way behind but trying to catch up. Glad to hear of the positive outcomes on the various procedures and projects.

Quiet, stay-at-home kind of weekend down south. Found the vent for the water heater was the best candidate for the water leak in my friend's garage, and tweaked the WiFi router to get rid of an overlap with the neighbor. Otherwise, enjoyed the mild weather with some hiking and lounging on the patio. Uneventful ride down, but more than warm on the last leg, and no fun baking in stopped traffic. Yesterday was a different story, with heated gear keeping me warm and some ripping cross winds to keep me on my toes once I crossed back into the Central Valley. The time BMW spent in the wind tunnel with that fairing really paid off yesterday.

I found the driveway much smoother on my return, but it still needs several feet cut out off it to eliminate the very steep section. Walked it again with the GPS, and will plot out the elevation to show the contractor where to focus his efforts. He did get the giant dirt pile redistributed, but it's hard to tell where it all went. I did find a couple trees had been taken down, though, and need to find their way to the burn pile.

Going to be a slow start to the week here; I'm already a day behind...

Good morning! A warm cloudy morning at 72˚F with severe wether this afternoon kind of predicted. They are giving themselves a bunch of outs by saying certain things have to happen with the opening in the "cap" of warm air. ? But just to get reader's attention they say egg size hail is possible. We are still very dry and the town has implemented water restrictions.

FireWise brush clearing today.

Mostly, How many miles was the "Race".

Roy hope the cardiologist visit is helpful today,

48°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 76° today. Drove through some light rain on the way to work this morning. The bumpy stuff is supposed to hit us tomorrow.

Started feeling rough again yesterday afternoon, and didn't get much of anything done after I got home. I did manage to remember to order more oil filters for my car. The website I ordered them from last time no longer sells that one, so I had to go direct to Kia.

Nice pictures, fellas.
