Good morning!!!!

Got the rest of the grass mowed. Also, found the cover cap from the right front swivel on the zeroturn that I lost last week. Was hoping I'd see it before running it over, and found it laying under the blueberry bush.

Checked the game cam later, and in addition to finding several pics of a coyote that has made a couple of trips back and forth between the camera and the coop a regular thing every night between 01:00 & 01:30, I found a pic of the aforementioned loose cap from just a couple of minutes before I apparently knocked it off under the bush.

That's one seriously relaxed kitty, BEF.

Still 95 outside waiting for it to cool off before I start to mow.

Kyle, those date trees are 2 years old.

Too much okra, I’ve turned my garden into a pick all you want for other gardeners.

OK, shop all put back in order, area is all set to go for the pellet arrival. Put a few more things away in new homes (pressure washer, propane burner, and some 5 gal paint cans). I have been moving those darn paint buckets around the shop for close to 2 years..... now they have a spot out of the way!

Wifey took 2 loaves of bread out of the freezer, opened them up, and saw mold on the top. Separating the slices revealed mold inside! We always buy the fresh and freeze immediately, so not because it was left out....
These were expensive loaves at $4 each.... they will be going back to the store tomorrow!

New truck might be off the board for the time being..... a different dealer emailed me and said that Toyota is only sending out "allocations" and that dealers don't have any opportunity to choose what is being sent to them. I will have to call the dealer that I've been working with to present this info and see what he has to say......
I think he was just being hopeful that the supply issues are going to end soon.... I will ask specific questions about this for sure!

The high today was as expected-- only 83° and a nice breeze. Nice weather.

Time to go put the tractor away before I forget..... then a nice soothing hot shower is in order.

Our local Chevy dealer in town is advertising their "Truck Month." I drove by there this morning, and they had maybe three or four new Chevys, and about a quarter of their lot is full of Fords and Rams, and the odd Toyota. The rest of the place is still empty.

The Ford dealer in Highland was recently taken over by a larger dealership from another town, who has been running local radio ads asking people to come and see their huge inventory. Anytime I drive by there, they have about five or six cars parked in front of the building (not all Fords), and the rest of the lot is empty.

I don't know how these guys are surviving.

The Mazda dealer where I took a test drive said they presale cars before they arrive, and they have a long list of people waiting. He said they are selling more cars now than they have ever sold. If there’s a car on the lots, it’s already claimed.

LS, we buy and freeze bread, sorry yours had mold.

Maybe I already said this, remoted into church computer last night, and there was Firefox window open with someone logged into a gmail account. No one we know.
Someone hacked in.
Gmail account created 2 months ago, Emails were regard TurboTax online, and efile rejections from the IRS.
Changed all the passwords on computers & router.

Looking at event log, our server is getting hammered with RDP login attempts. Like 5-6 per second. The log was full of just today’s attempts. The only valid logins today were me.
Some bot is active against us. Will probably disable it for awhile.

The attack on our computers is increasing and we are somewhat limited as to what we can do to protect ourselves. Hopefully you can get it straight BEF

Good Morning chilly 60 going to 82 today. Watching Clarkson's farm on Amazon he had the right idea on his choice for a tractor. A gigantic Lamborghini tractor with controls and handles to operate that rival a NASA rocket. At least my choice for equipment now seems reasonable

loved that show

I love cats, but don't currently have any as wife has allergies to the dander. I'd love to get an outside barn cat that is a good mouser. We had such a cat several years ago. "Fireball" was a stray that my daughter found - very affectionate, and premium mouser, then would sleep a lot.

I love dogs

I love chickens

basically, I love animals

however, I'm not permitted to name any animals anymore
