Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

I do it on the equinoxes...an even 6 months apart.

I do it when the beeping gets annoying

39 going to 49...rain close by.

Lou, glad you're home. Don't overdo it. When the farmer across the road separates his calves, it's a nice rural sound I enjoy.

Spike, I'm enjoying your jet photos...so much fun watching them do touch and go at Oceana. I saw some flying low at Langley last week, but couldn't ID them.

Hiked another section of the AT yesterday near Buena Vista...Buppies, I'm heading your way.

I climbed up to have a snack on these boulders...didn't hear a sound for a while (except a few crickets in my ears). It's hard to ever finding a totally quiet place outside. Then a high flying commercial airliner flew over, providing my prompt to get back on the trail.

Good morning! 54˚F with a North wind and cloudy skies it will only get to the mid 60's.

The rains never came I will have to turn the sprinklers on the just fertilized yard.

The dwarfs are planted. The 2 day project would have been a 1/2 day project in my youth.

Received 20 new electrical breakers in mail to replace the defective ones.

Today our neighborhood has the "Vendors Fair". We are going to find a contractor to screen in the back porch.

Txdon, Interesting. I may look into the Dwarf variety as long as they are not messy. What I think are yaupons grow everywhere especially under my trees. They get multibranched, root like crazy, and take over, I try to keep them dug out. Perhaps, these are something else / some invasive variety?

Yes they are something else. They are similar to boxwoods but hardier and only grow to 3-4 feet. They are slow growing and only need trimming once a year. I had these at the last house. Highly recommended. I found these at Home Depot but they soon sold out. Pic of label below.

Of course on the last hole I would hit the irrigation system.

Morning all, 31 going up to 48 and cloudy, calling for rain, and maybe a small amount of wet snow tomorrow.

Did not get much free time from day job yesterday and still a bit breezy for spraying.

Tomorrow might finish wire run for min-split just to neaten it up and start stapling in place. Might put bucket back on tractor and store plow, but will that bring snow ?

PopGadget- 2 of my first apps I wrote back in the days of basic was a floppy disk data editor and a resonance calculator. I bet the SW to do the initial layout is a bit more sophisticated now, and nothing like a good spectrum analyzer.

Grilled a salmon filet with soy marinade on a cedar plank that was part of a kit the wife got my son for xmas. Plank was so thin that it caught fire --but fish was saved and came out great. Plank was just too thin to be reusable. Will need to reconfigure burners to use the other 3 planks so the middle ones are just off and not on low.


This camera picks up the colors better. There is almost always a deer posing to help me with test shots. One of these days I need to mill the Ash trunk in the background. Anyone want an ash plank?

Thomas, Just remember, turkey isn't just good for Thanksgiving.
