Young couple at church rent a place on a farm, it’s an old milk house converted to an apartment.
Buppies, hope elbow is better soon.
Roy, get well soon.
PJ, I hate when wind blows grass back on you. Usually happens when I do my field.
Rich, saw 6 pack qts of Mobil 1 over $50 at Costco, will wait for their $10 off. Course 1 qt at auto store was $10.

Good morning, low temp is 50 and the high will be 55°F. More Scotch mist. Wind NE 10 mph.
I guess I am not doing anything outside today.
Come to think about it, I am not doing anything 'inside' either. You tube rabbit hole here I come.

you bet Captain Drew will take you all to Hawaii. Actually I have some bluewater experience but nothing like that.
That would be a long boat ride; thinking a cruise ship to big Island better idea.

With the planes that we have, we would end up swimming partway to Hawaii. We’ve got a maximum range of about 1800 miles and that would only be with a couple of passengers and no baggage.

50°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 71° today.

While swimming is good exercise, Paul, not sure I'm in the kind of shape to swim the additional 6-700 miles.

Good morning, gents.

Good morning,
Nice cool morning here 57 going to 63 with clear weather after rain last night
Should get a quote today from tree cutter to take out Pine trees
Taking wife up to library for booster shot later today. She has stopped her immune suppression meds last week in order for a better chance of developing an immune response
Roy, get well soon and family as well
Dennis. I realize you can not transport the shed that far but this is an example of a well constructed shed built by Mennonites that you can compare with in your shopping

I was not that familiar with the Big Island until one of my kids spent a couple of vacations on wilderness camping on the island. Not what you normally associate Hawaii with.
Riptide that stand alone milk house is ideal for conversion. What are your plans for it? Our milk house is built into the lower floor of the bank barn.

Good Morning
It’s 55 and going to 70 under sunny skies. We got about 1/2” of rain out of the passing cold front last night. We got cleaned up after the open house, we had a few showers at the tail end yesterday, but Saturday was a perfect day.

And the same view this morning.

Not sure what today will bring, I’ve got a large selection of chores to pick from.

To be used as an efficiency or maybe an AirBnB.

OK, Plan "A" is out. Too much range anxiety and swimming.

gravel guy showed up, dropped off equipment, headed back for gravel.
I asked him why he brought a paver plus the roller. Said the paver
did a better leveling job. ok
nice guy, showed up with his son, he has done work for both my brother and my nephew.

two neighbors down getting their stumps removed

Had to buy some #5 rebar (5/8ths) for a rock bucket project. $24 a bar

Had to have a few... would hate to be buying materials in any quantity right now.
My new Skeleton Rock Bucket from Titan is a beauty but she's got 3 inches between the ribs and honestly a 3x 4 or 3x6 rock is just too big to be left behind. My plan is to weld a 5/8 bar in between each rib resulting in a 1 1/4 space. This is the cheapest and easiest way I can think to do this. Will post some pics of the before and after.

Good Morning Everybody, - currently 75° going to 82°

Have a great day...

I never knew a paver could put down gravel, learned something today

I hear the grass calling this morning, suggesting time has come for more attention. Guess I start another round of mowing.

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon.

Prayers for all
Be safe

60F and mostly cloudy @ 13:00, headed up to a high of around 63F for the day. Chance (40%) of an occasional passing rain shower or thunderstorm at times. LWS reports 0.04" of rain so far today.

Got up this morning around 06:00, watched some of the morning news (weather mainly) then went back to bed for a few hours.

Yesterday was mostly an energy conservation day, although I did some reading and watched a couple of videos on the operation of the JLG towable man lift. Along with getting the razor drug across my face ...

Also researched and ordered "ethernet/networking over power" starter kit from Amazon to provide some connectivity up at the shop. That is currently "out for delivery".

Today I need to get over to the barn and take some measurements on the hay wagon and figure out how much more treated lumber is required to complete it and get that ordered from Menards along with some tarps.

Also need to assess how big a mess the dirt over at the barn is. LWS on WU reports we got 0.86 inches of rain yesterday. The dirt was fairly dry so it might not be too bad ... but if we get much more anytime soon it might be nearly impossible to work (compact)

Get Menards order placed and then run up and pick that up along with the vapor barrier and the geo-tex at Tucker. Need to unload steel out of the van before we head out.

Local friend (who has been under the weather) texted me and let me know that he's rounded up a few tools that I had asked to borrow (screw gun, framing nailer, laser level) so we'll swing by his place while we're out and get that stuff as well.

Hopper feeder still needs refilled and mowing finished up over on the west side down here around the house.

Fix and rebait live trap and get it set out again.

Hoping to get a haircut today as well.

Hope everyone is having a good day and all those ailing are on the mend ...

Found out from realtor the guy behind my future lot is retired brick mason. 2 people now says he’s a very nice guy. The neighbor said the same.
Also found out some history of the lot. Bought from an estate. Estate had let former guy live there. Realtor said he wasn’t all there mentally. The former owner was a guardian to who lived there, then owner died, then the guy living there died. Guy had lived in trailer, then a house was built, he moved into house and left everything in trailer also. When guy living in house died, the estate then sold everything. Current owner tied in with realtor somehow. Realtor said house was an aweful mess. Anyways they cleaned out and fixed up house, removed the old trailer house, removed an old falling down barn that was in corner of “my” lot, they subdivided into 2 lots. Definitely getting title insurance.

Realtor says it might be possible to clear trees and get a nice view from top of the hill. He said it’s not too steep and flattens out on top. I’ll have to look into that.
