Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning, I am unofficially done for the summer. I just need to strip the truck of all my belongings (4 months away from home you accumulate a lot of stuff). Last weekend when I came home (5 days) I stripped out the curbside cabinets of the trailers.
After stripping the truck, vacuum it out and armour all the floor.
I will probably stay home for a week and go back down very early next Sunday morning, a three and a half hour trip. Drop the train at our drop yard and bobtail to the main yard. And so starts my vacation...until next June.

40% chance of showers today, 50 now and only going to 55°F. Wind E 5 mph.

I've got a welder to switch the drag disks into 3 point disks, weld a section on the back blade that will allow me to swing the main beam over to the right/left and angle the blade at 45° and weld the ssqa onto to the 'V' plow and some tin touch up. The good thing is that a float is coming to pick up the stuff and return it.

Have a safe day all

Sorry to hear about your tumble, Buppies.

55 going to 82, maybe rain this afternoon...sure hope so.

Wife got home just before dark, so getting back to normal. I think I had things in good shape around here. Plus, I removed a stump she wanted gone as a surprise, and some other yard work.

Morning all! 43 here with a nice 65 day in the forecast.
Finished up the 30 foot deck project at my cousin's house yesterday. That should be it till next year. Was happy the parts came in for the pellet stove! Got that up and running before nightfall.
Going to a small car show and concert today. Should be great weather for it.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

good morning all.
warmer out, 55 going up to high 70's today with warm front bringing in rain and storms this afternoon and tonight.

turnips were not good. I did everything I could to cook them properly and season them, but an off taste I just did not enjoy.
Ate half, rest went into trash can. Oh well...nothing ventured....

painter finished in basement, sure looks better and smell has gone away.
Church this morning, then a long dunk in hot tub this afternoon.

Phil, deck and pellet stove look great.

found the answer to neighbor's electric heat problem. She has ghosting issues, and not Casper....
She has been in that house 53 years and I bet never cleaned the baseboard strip heaters.
She said they looked clean, but I bet this was a combo of high humidity in house and accumulated dust.

Thermal tracking or ghosting stains may indicate insulation voids, air leaks, high indoor moisture, as well as serving as a collection point for airborne dust, dirt, soot, or other debris.

70º This am going to 100º. 5 days of 100 degrees forecasted... Ugh.
Then hopefully we can get back to the Mediterranean climate we live here for.
I had bought an odd chainsaw hanger that doubles as a grab handle to assist in getting on - off the tractor.
Managed to get it on and the lawn mowed yesterday despite the heat. + Starlink dish temporarily mounted on the roof and the debri accumulation from the eucalyptus trees cleaned off the roof.
Not sure what I'm doing today.
Probably not a lot.

Welcome home L4N.

42° now high’s in the upper 60’s with a mix of sun and clouds today, winds 5-10 mph. May see some showers late afternoon/evening.

Yesterdays winds took down a dead white birch and a beech tree, that saved me the trouble. I don’t like dealing with dead trees anymore! They are in the wooded part and will get cut up and left to rot when I get around to it. The winds created another “need to pickup sticks before I mow” hopefully for the last time this year.

Today will be a putter around the house day, the mrs has a few things to fix I have been ignoring lol.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good Morning
53 going to 70 with rain later.

Yesterday was busier than usual. Started by getting everything set up for the open house, once that was setup and underway son flew me up to Allentown to pick up the plane that had been there since the beginning of April when it made an emergency landing there after an engine failure. There was a cascade of frustrating events that kept it down for so long. But it’s back home in Philly now. Son picked me up in Philly and brought us back to Doylestown, the whole ordeal didn’t take much more than an hour.

Youngest son designed a loading tool for his 9mm Ruger and brought the file with him so I could print one for me to use with the micro 9. It seems to work with any single stack 9mm magazine.

Makes it much easier to load. You can see the slide bite marks on my thumb as I was figuring out a grip.

Helped neighbor spread a triaxle load of stone in preparation for the arrival of his new 39 foot travel trailer’s arrival this week. I think he might regret it not being a 5th wheel, but that remains to be seen. Finished the day at oldest son’s sitting around fire pit with a batch of 30 somethings. It was interesting hearing about life from their prospective. One couple was getting married in a few weeks, so there was lots of talk about married life from the other couples.

Today, I might give the tractor a bath, then kick back until it’s time to pack up the open house, hopefully before the rain arrives. Might shut down early if necessary to stay dry.
