daugen, a few years ago I watched 6 mosquitoes fly off with one of my cats. A couple of days later 4 black flies brought it back.
Our worst bug nightmare is pine beetles. They will take a chunk out of you. They aren't very gracefull fliers and their landings are hard, so you can feel them land and sweep them off before they bite.

Good morning! 78˚F heading to ONLY the mid 90s as cloud cover is expected this afternoon. Next week we start in on the 100˚s again.

Yep, Drew, I guess money can wipe away guilt feelings and there are business that will sell the riddance of guilt and make happiness.

So you are going to mow the back 40, that will be 2 carbon credits please.

Good Morning!!!! 62F @ 5:00 AM. Sunny. High 89F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph.

Heard some scuffling sounds on the ground outside the bedroom sliding door, and when I flipped on the floodlights, there was a good sized jackrabbit sitting there. It shuffled off, and another, smaller one, took its place. I wonder what they do for water, as the lake is a long walk away for them.

Now there's a hummer sitting on the empty feeder just outside that door, oops, make that four. They'll get their breakfast after I have mine.

Carbon credits: Another sign of the approaching apocalypse.

Got a good start on the trench out to the StarLink Dishy yesterday. But like my friend says, that backhoe is a lot longer than it seems. In spite of being extra careful, I still managed to flatten a piece of gutter on the roof. Fortunately, I have all summer to figure out a fix.

I'll get the trench finished today, then maybe start work on the down force for the auger. And maybe get tarps over the backhoe and new flail.

Hope everyone enjoys the long holiday weekend...

The haul is about a 16 hour rounder plus loading and unloading and the money is good. If the crew works with us, so far they are not, we can claim 24 hours in a day for wages. Yes we get paid to sleep.

It is good to see that most everybody is here that was here before I went to work.
Has Ron from Michigan been heard from?

Good Morning.
It’s 75 outside, dew point is 73, outside of windows are covered in condensation. Makes me wonder how effective triple pane glazing is.
Going to the middle 80’s with a chance of rain and thunderstorms today.

Yesterday I got an early start with the string trimmer, I got about 500 feet of fence done, which is actually 1000 feet of trimming because I’ve got to do doth sides. I’m really impressed with the Makita trimmer. I used up 2 5ah batteries, and about 25% of a third. Probably had to reload line 3 times. I’m using Echo .095 twisted square line, which cuts better and lasts a lot longer than the .060 round line that came with it. So far there doesn’t seem to be any I’ll effects from the heavier line.
Next in the rotation was the Lazer, it did a great job of mulching the stuff the string trimmer cut. And trimmed around everything that was going to be a challenge for the 16’ pull behind Progressive.
By now it was as Hot as Drew said it was outside. So it felt great to get the tractor out of the air conditioned shop and hook it up to the mower and start mowing. Makes a big difference getting into it if it’s not already heat soaked.

Finished mowing, and went out to a late lunch, and picked up Emily’s stone from my buddy that sandblasted it. It came out great, but it’s got my wife’s pet name for her on it which isn’t necessarily family friendly to post here.

Today the boys in the band are coming over around 11 for a rehearsal for a gig next Saturday. This evening I’m hoping to load some Boston Butts into the smoker for Pulled Pork. They will cook overnight and should be ready for lunch tomorrow.

Drew, as good as muffins sound, I’ve also sworn of carbs, trying to reduce my actual footprint. But I’ll send you home with some pork.

Other areas defined as sensitive include government-owned buildings, schools, health care facilities,
places of worship and public transportation.
People who carry a gun in a prohibited location could be charged with a felony under the law.


Don't the crazy people keep shooting up our churches? Not in NY who just passed this? What about genuine self defense?
Subway isn't exactly the safest place either.

When the Nazis came for over ten of my family in Brody, Ukraine, I wish all those relatives had been armed to the teeth.
Evil was coming. You need to defend yourself, not be herded off like sheep.
We can't all be soft targets or won't end well. Didn't for my family.

Give me a shotgun and non lethal ammo, bean bags, something, and someone will find out how much practice I've had target shooting.
It's pretty hard for a pacifist to buy a gun. Even a non lethal one. Think I want to float that around on Sunday.
You just have to be realistic. You can't talk really crazy people or animals down.

I believe there was an earlier comment on the wisdom of NY politics. But we aren't getting political here.

I wish we could legislate criminals and I wish it would only rain on Wednesday nights. Let me know when either one is working please.

carb free muffins. Hmmm. Not gluten free, carb free. research time

PopG, isn't there a trimmer attachment for the zero turn that follows the fence line?
