Good morning!!!!

[Rich B1]

Condolences Don. RIP Whipper.


Good morning! 38° now and sunny. High is supposed to be 52° today. Forecast says more high winds starting tomorrow. Could have gusts of 60+ MPH. Supposed to continue into Saturday. So likely power outages again. Some still don’t have power restored from last weekends winds.

I don’t think we get normal wind anymore. It seems to either be calm or near gale force….

Lots of roof and building damage locally after last Saturday. My dad’s barn actually moved on the foundation and has a lot of wall damage.

yesterday was time to clean and refill the parts washer. Added a filter and made some other improvements. It was more of a project than I thought it was going to be. Not sure what today will bring.

My wife started her 69th lap of the sun yesterday. She will do it in style.

One of my more successful trainees from when I was working abruptly quit. He told me it became unbearable to work there after I left. He is the 2nd one to leave who has said that. Both said I kept the stupidity at bay. Now I am getting calls and texts from salesmen, dealers, and customers asking for advice since they can’t get any help. I really don’t know what to tell them….

Everyone stay safe out there

Dad’s 99th birthday got his picture on front page of local paper.
Also wind did some roof and tree damage last week.

Dad has already put a chain around the tree to hold it together. This tree split back in the 60s, and has a cable embedded in it from then that has held it, but this split is in different area.

Good morning! Low of 31°, heading to 62°. Sunny, but the wind will arrive this afternoon.... and stay throughout the night. Just a little breezy right now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To Mrs Rich.

Kyle, neat that you get to see some of the fruits of your labor. Hope she goes far in the Navy.

BEF, nice story about your Dad, did he smile for the pic? Sorry about the damage.

Going to run into town for some new boots and sneakers. Should be a challenge. I have difficult feet to find comfortable shoes.... to the point that the wifey will NEVER go with me for shoe shopping.

Everyone have a great day!

Ron - glad you found short, that wasn't 120 volts in the chair material I hope.

It was low voltage.120 to low voltage is outside of recliner.

67°F and .01 inches rain.

Morning starting out a bit tamer than yesterday, will continue with the traction shed extension work. That will involve painting and installing some 2x4 extensions to attach some roof flashing and fascia, which still needs to be bought. These attach to the aluminum angle that support the PV panels.

Once that is done I can paint and trim out the Hardie panel walls.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
