Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

rswyan - that cub cadet looks very similar to the one that I recently bought (no ROPS though) ... I'm looking forward to using it in the Spring.

Guy that mows the lawn for one of the next door neighbors has one like that, haven't had a chance to talk to him since he got it to ask how he likes it ... looks to be a very capable machine though.

Glad you were able to get some seat time ...

(Even if it was pushing the white stuff ... )

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 8C and it's presently 19.6C, partly cloudy and fairly calm. There was 4.0mm in the gauge, all from yesterday arvo.

Stacking went fairly well yesterday and I may be able to finish up today. Rain interrupted the first hour so I drove into town to take care of a few tasks, rain had mostly stopped by my return so I carried on until around 1445... I stopped for the day and then the 'heavens' opened up.

Lovely evening otherwise.

That's about it, take care all.

time to eat an apple and read my book, with an early night planned.
tomorrow is going to be very busy, need to clean up the garden, unpack and do the wash, and then
put up xmas tree and outside decorations. Hmmmm. I think I need six hands. Slow and steady wins the race.

Randy(wag) good to hear stacking progress continues. Are you having a wet start to summer?

I think so. We did last year, so much so that all of the hay along the N.E. coast of Tassie wasn't finished baling & into the various sheds until mid February. It's growing like crazy but can't be cut due to the short spells of dry weather.

I did indeed finish my wood stacking this arvo, raked & cleaned the area and then was able to mow the 'front' paddock + the horse exercise area/arena.

Feet up and enjoying a bottle of Shiraz!

It's raining this morning; supposed to be a rainy day all day but maybe no more than a half inch total. And to answer some questions . . . no pictures of me with a beard as far as I know. I thought I looked so bad that I hated to go out in public, but at least no one said anything to me about my looks.

Coffee is brewing. 23° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 54° with mostly sunny skies. Got net off garden pond and put all the support poles away. Christmas tree is in the house. Not sure I will get it up today. Need to wash house windows. See how I feel after getting that done.
Woodpeckers are doing their woodpecker thing.

Bird, I shave one time a week. Whether I need it or not. If I go out I will shave more often.

Popgadget, cute puppy. I see a long road in the future training her.

Drew, take your time getting your to do list done.

Txdon, great farm pictures.

Buckeye, I am still coughing a month later. Only thing that seems to help is Ricola cough drops.

Wngsprd, Happy Anniversary.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
enjoying my coffee after sleeping very well
supposed to be sunny and get up into high 50's today, will be good to get outside
Going to wait til it warms up a little to go do the leaves for what might be the final time.

this might resonate with those of you who have a little sitting stool in your shower
or a bench to sit on, but going to look forward to shower this morning where I can sit and
wash my feet. Slipping and falling in a shower is bad news. I have installed a suction cup hand hold
on one tile wall which works wonderfully as something to hold on to. But in other folks' showers, sometimes there is no
handhold at all, particularly in older showers and I don't trust myself to stand on one foot in soapy water. Just an accident waiting to happen.

Bird, you are up early too. Looks like a lot of rain for Texas today in the weather radar right now. It's coming here tomorrow night.
