Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Well, bugger. As I mentioned, I'm expecting a 'rain event' of, possibly, a month's worth of rain Sunday/Monday...

A "Flood Watch" alert has just been issued. It's Friday evening.

I'll be right at my elevation... it may be more as a warning for livestock. Fun times ahead.

54° right now...high in the low 70's

Wifey's walking around...bit of a hobble. Stepdaughter will be home with her today. I'm still not sure exactly how this happened

Back to work on-site today

Change in plans...turns out Stepdaughter does have to work today, so I'll be working from home. Not much going on today, workwise.
Did have a very successful call with a customer yesterday. All told, a good week!!

Good morning! 72˚F heading to the upper 90s. Still no rain. I hope we stay out of the triple digits but they also predicted only 90s yesterday but we had a solid 100˚ for hours.

My hearing aids are not filtering out crowd noise as well as the last ones so a trip to Costco for an adjustment.

 

[Thomas]

Haven't had the heart to be on here much lately. Lesley hasn't been well.
I took her to the Dr today and they called an Ambulance and sent her into Hospital. Heart playing up probably caused by sleep aponea. They need to run some more tests so it is wait and see at the moment.
Doug

May the cure be quick strong positive headed your way.

 

[Thomas]

53F clear sky mid 70's for high...also share nice rain as Roy.
Next 4 weather days

Indeed darn good news.

66 outside this AM, showers just moved through, heading to lower 80's.

About the only thing right about yesterday was ice cream with the wife. I thought I could get to my big box store and get some more foam boards insulation for the Milk House. I had a nice list of needs and walked out with two cans of hornet spray. Checking on-line I found what I needed at another store location and will be heading there shortly.

My goal is to get another side hooked up for water/plumbing/electric and foam board this weekend.

And...probably grass cutting and weed-whacking.

Sorry to hear of all the health issues going around. All I can say is hang in there, hope for the best, stay positive.

Hoping all have a good Friday. Be safe. It's the dawn of the weekend! What is that song? "The weekends here and I am gonna have a beer...."

Awesome photos from Hawaii...just saying....looks like a resort.

good morning all
should be a nice warm summer day today
relatives coming over this morning for a tomato exchange, just saying hi.

we will open one potato bag to investigate. I'm afraid I have generation skipped; maybe I left them in there too long and now
the potatoes are resprouting. I keep getting new green shoots when everything should be dying. First time for this, will be interesting to see what
is inside the potato bags this morning. Children and perhaps grandchildren.

Doug, best wishes for your wife feeling better soon. We all send our prayers.

Good Morning
It’s 69 with a high of 80 forecast under clear skies. Should be a really nice day, except that we need rain.

Yesterday was spent at an exceedingly slow paced meeting that dragged out just long enough to miss show and tell at Drew’s in spite of my trying to move it along.

When I got home I decided it was time to go down the lane in the
Carryall along with the mini chainsaw, string trimmer, hedge trimmers and loppers. The goal was to remind the vegetation to stop encroaching on the lane. There is also a blind turn that requires maintenance to be able to see opposite direction traffic in time to avoid a collision.

Found a large dead limb overhanging the lane, so got out the lift, which apparently is the same model that David uses, and the Makita pole saw to cut it off.

Swapped the lift for a grapple and picked up the limb and cut it up with the Makita chainsaw. Put everything away and called it a day after collecting all the trash and recycling and getting it to the street.

No definite plan for today yet, but there’s lots of possibilities for such a nice day.

Good Morning!!!! 68F @ 5:00AM. Sunny. High 96F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

Nothing better than having the right tools for the job, Paul...

Got another 200' of conduit stuffed yesterday, and cleaned rocks and debris out of about 500' of trench before lowering the conduit into place. By then the temps were in the high 80s and Mr. Back was wanting the rest of the day off. Who am I to disagree? Ordered some electrical upgrades for the new bike, took a nap, then found no chicken in the freezer and made do with a pork chop instead.

More ditch clearing on tap for today, and maybe finish the last 40 or so feet of conduit. Looking forward to when I can sit on the tractor and use the back blade to fill the trench...

TGIF gang!

Good morning all, sunny and going up to 81

Alien- our thoughts are with Lesley and you, I hope they get her feeling better soon.

 

[daugen]

80 and bright sun, lovely day

checked tomato patch for anything new, let relatives coming soon get to pick something, all they are going to get are some
cherry tomatoes which I had to restrain myself from not munching myself.
I put a few tomatoes away for them, good thing. All the regular tomatoes have come out, now waiting for vining tomato crop.

Ken, they sure are pretty, and that's a perfect glade there. When you have venison burgers on the grill, invite me down.

 

[sodamo]

68°F and .15 inches rain.

Continuation from yesterday for the most part. While I’m not part of the active cleaning team seems I do play a somewhat active role more as a facilitator assistant. That’s fine.

I do need to make a PO run this morning. Need to get my property tax payment posted ( sadly highest ever) and pick up some Amazon items.

The replacement Sears dishwasher is supposed to be delivered today. Didn’t get the call reference time window and I managed to miss the address confirmation call. That was the call labeled Spam Risk. When I called back mail box was full.

Sophie made it to Arizona, the sisters have all gathered.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

 

[sodamo]

Dishwasher delivery proved to be a NoGo, arrived dented, both top and bottom.

The box looked in perfect condition and I almost didn’t open, but delivery guy offered so I did - fortunately. Perhaps this is only cosmetic, easily fixed with replacement panel, but I’ll leave that to Sears. Even the delivery guys were surprised at condition.

 

[sodamo]

Looks very familiar, Paul

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Makes me wonder if the deliver guys might have known it got dropped somewhere?

It’s been 4 days and Amazon still hasn’t refunded me for the generator I returned. They don’t even have it listed in the orders as a return. I’ve been in contact with them once already about that, they just said to wait.

Nice day, nice evening.

 

[sodamo]

Dennis. Don’t think so from his reaction. Even wondered if maybe was damaged before shipping. I have seen many boxes in far worse condition with no damage. This box didn’t have a mark on it.

High of 80 today low humidity today very nice
