Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Coffee is brewing. 33° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 44° with mix of sun and clouds. The wet snow was hard to plow. Turned out snow fall was over 11". Got my place and 3 others cleaned out. Tractor started to act up again with no fuel in filter. Loosening fuel cap only helped a little. Took tractor back to shop. Siphoned all the fuel out of tank. Ran all the fuel thru a filter. There was a few small pieces of dirt in the filter and a Earwig bug. Blew out all the fuel lines and put everything back together. Filled tank back up. Everything looked after starting engine up. Took tractor out and plowed 1/2 mile road next to my place with no problems. Must have been the Earwig that was blocking fuel line. Lots of limbs on the ground from this storm. Will wait for snow to melt before trying to pick them up. Turned out to be a nice day. Going to be a conserve energy day today. Along with some NASCAR in afternoon.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Good morning to all. Mid 50's headed to near 80 today. Worked outdoors yesterday for most of the day. Blazing sunshine and felt hot but was only near 80. Makes me wonder how I survive the Texas summers. Having a local do hay field renovation today. He charges $75/hr and estimated 3 hours work on 7 acres. Will mix up some glyphosate and spray drive and other areas to keep clean.

American Legion meeting tomorrow.
Entering service during my tenure: F-16 General Dynamics fighting falcon. Built now part of Lockheed Martin.
Sweet, compact, multirole.

To all have a safe happy Sunday.

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).

Dead-even 32F, nice and clear.

inpretty much updated on everything over the course of the day yesterday, I am hoping that, with the temps hitting the freezing mark, that another batch of walnut sap can be collected. I need to order more spikes & pails for next season - I have identified several more tappable trees on the woodlot. I also want to experiment with fermenting some sap and making walnut wine - how bad can it be?

thanks again to everyone who offered assistance with my stubborn oil breather/cap - it really was determined to stay on there!

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe restorative blessed day!

Good morning,

28°F now, highs in the low 40’s and may see some sun by late afternoon, wind WNW 10-15 mph.

Yesterdays storm brought 8-10” heavy snow by mid morning but then changed to part rain so wound up with 4-5” heavy wet slop by the time it ended around 3:00pm. Fortunately the high winds never happened in our area. The town plowed so many times and even brought out the wing plow there was a 2ft tall 3ft deep row at the end of the driveway. The little BX was having trouble getting through that until I realized you’re not in 4wd dumb a$$! Helped a couple of neighbors clear their driveway ends and called it a day.

May do dump run this morning and a bit more clean up but that’s about it for today.

Enjoy your day everyone, stay safe

29 and lots of frost going to 65. Heard the first gobbling of the year behind the house this morning before sunrise.

Kilroy, glad you got the cap off. See, talking to it sweetly instead of cussing works everytime.

Ron, it seems like the earwigs and ladybugs are everywhere and can squeeze into anything. Stinkbugs, too. Lotta snow.

Kyle, glad the med is helping. Reminds me I need to start checking my BP more often.

Split firewood and stacked yesterday and then got the blade trimmer out...started on second pull...Always a thrill to hear it come to life on the first or second pull. Cut all the old asparagus stalks, and a patch of briars and stalky weeds, some canna stalks, and a few volunteer weed trees. Nice big tarp full, twice, to pull to my brush pile. Wore myself out.

Drinking a nice Guatemala this morning. Time to make a pour-over cup for my wife, who I hear stirring in the bedroom.

Good morning. 36°F and going up to about 40°F. No precipitation al all today.

Came into town Wednesday for a test that I had to give Thursday, and decided to stay for the weekend. Then, Friday evening, snowmageddon! Huge snowstorm, blizzard actually, with 2 inches/h at several points. had to pick up my daughter from work at 11:30 PM, and my wife insisted that I take the 4runner. Good thing I did! The streets are a mess, buses and cars stranded all over the place, but of course the trusty forerunner drove right through it. Daughter made a video from the passenger seat, and I will try and post it. Kind of funny really, although I suppose not so much for the bus drivers and other stranded drivers. 11 hill we passed no less than nine stranded buses. The people with front wheel drive, and all season tires fared the worst.

More snow up north this morning, but it won’t come out too much at all. Not looking forward to seeing the wind row at the end of the driveway when I head up tomorrow.

After we got home.

Good morning all,
HD dropped off most of the sprinkler parts for my new project. I'm replacing the sprinkler valve manifold and timer control clock. Six stations on this manifold. I put it in originally 22 yrs ago. Our well water is pretty hard on everything. I have refurbished the old valves many many times. Used to keep parts and do a quick repair when needed but in the last few years parts have become scarce and now they are not available anywhere for the old valves. Internet says these valves are only good for 15 yrs so I guess it's time.
I guess I'll get started today installing the valves.
