Good morning!!!!

Good morning! 52˚F heading to the mid 70s. Looks like we are having a small rain event weekly, the next will be Friday. Taking my Ego blower to the "Farm" to blow out the trailer and clean it up after the muddy weekend. Probably needs a pressure washer washing. Just 2 more weeks of the Fall Festival and closing has changed to a decent hour, 6pm.

58 going up to 68, uneventful Halloween with the usual 0 people showing up.
Son did go down to town with a few friends, so he did not miss everything.

My wife buys decorations, pretty much every day, for me to put out. Can't wait to figure out where we are going to store them. Attic, utility room etc. full of decorations. As is I will need to put out the Christmas stuff to fit any of it.

Thanks CTF for stopping by and letting us know about JDgreen227. Auto accident is rough way to go and hope he was not in too much pain.

SC - hang in there- it does get better.

RNG - thanks for the info on the WD red- was sure I heard about that somewhere.

Work took me well into the evening and now on to my first meeting of the day.

Be well

Good morning all, mild day today, rain has stopped going to upper 60's

A crew with two trucks and trailers are here this morning to cut grass and spray for weeds on some areas of the tree plantings.

Daughter is recovering normally and will be into doing PT today

Will likely do some more dirt work today

Scaredy praying for you

wngsprd made me think of Sofi Chessie Bridget and Brandy, Mary Beth all pups of ours having crossed the golden bridge

This tool was found in the barn under bunch of stuff along with a lot of blacksmith tools and farm related items. Not sure what it was for but maybe a tool for stretching leather is all I can think of. Any other ideas?

Scaredy, sorry about your situation.

 

[daugen]

got latest trash bill, a dollar a week extra for fuel surcharge.
still reasonable, 31 bucks a month including separate 96 gal can for recycling with weekly pick up.

Scaredy, stay strong and do what you can do. Hopefully stay on good terms. Been there, done that.
You were really looking forward to something better, wish it had come. Just be nice to her. And take care of yourself.

grey damp day, fog burned off

Good Morning
It’s 58 with a high in the upper 60’s, clearing throughout the day.

Yesterday was mostly in the shop putting things away and cleaning. I did run a PEX airline over near the press, it will service the welding bench and the front of the tractor as well. Made up an air hose, and left it plugged in. I’ve been using Flexeel urethane hose from Coilhose Pneumatics, it’s the best, most durable air hose that I have come across so far. It has reusable ends, similar to Aeroquip.

Found the top of the woodworking bench, it’s almost entirely visible now.

Today I get to visit the FAA again, hopefully it will be more productive than the last time. Not much else planned after that because I have know clue how long that will take.

Good Morning Everyone - currently 69° going to 76°
Ron - nice pic of the cardinal.
If Popgadget or Ken lived near me I would feed them like a King once a month, just in case I might need there assistance some time.. I don't think there is anything they could't do..

Have a great day everybody...

Good morning to all! Low of 32°, going up to 62°. Just breezy today. The forecasted storm got pushed back a couple days, strong winds not to arrive until Wednesday night, then a chance of rain Thursday, snow early Friday morning. I'm sure it will chance again--- the forecasters show 2 different models, each substantially from each other.

SC, sorry to hear about all the challenges you are facing.... our thoghts are with you.

RNG, please make sure you divert some of the rain this way.....

Paul, good luck with the FAA, maybe have their act together?

Ron, do you know what kind of bird that is? Pretty colors for this time of year.

M7040, not a clue as to what that tool is.... a mafia thumb crusher??

Today's agenda is to play in the shop and do some woodworking. The wifey's request for the tree stand will be first up. Then a couple of small 'scoop' style wooden baskets. They will be used for my wallet, phone, and sunglasses.

Since they will get mounted to the entry coat rack that I made last year, they will get made out of the same white oak. I'll need to plane the 3/4" stock down to 1/4". I may try cutting the thickness in half, then just finish plane. It's kinda scary to cut wood so thin vertically, not sure if I want to do it that way.

I may try to order some gravel for the driveway.... I have been waiting since we had all the rain a couple weeks ago, wanted to let the stockpiles dry out a bid --- no sense in paying for wet stone. If it was just a ton or two no big deal, but don't want to pay for a couple hundred pounds of moisture in 56 tons!

Going to get moving.... I don't want to misplace my motivation again!

Everyone have a great day!
