Good morning!!!!

Batteries are cheap - always use new every time.

If I remember to turn mics off between use, batteries will last about a month.
I need to keep better track of when I change them.

Yes the Premier was expected, although he (due to distance) was a good 3/4 hours late.

Just to clarify, the Premier is the leader of the State Government in power. (Federally, he/she is called the Prime Minister under the 'Westminster' style of government.) Each State has an apolitical appointed Governor with the Federal governor, also being apolitical, being the Governor General. He/she, in each case, is the 'head of State' and representative of the "Crown" (now King Charles III), whether for that State or for the country. No law becomes legal until signed by the Governor (respective State) or the Governor General (Federal)... They have the 'last say' as to whether the Bill becomes law or not. They're not a 'rubber stamp' and they can send a bill back to Parliament or the Supreme Court for review/opinion/'clarification' before signing as part of the "checks & balances" of this system.

To try to put it into perspective, think of the "Crown" as your US "Constitution". Please understand that that is simplifying it, but it works the same. (A legal example would be your "The People Vs. 'John Smith'" and our "The Crown Vs. 'John Smith'")

Our new Priest is settling quite well and, I must say, is, so far, a bit of a 'firebrand' according to his first sermon. I like him... he has to do a wee bit of a balancing act between the 'traditionalists' and 'evangelicals' whilst remaining in the Anglican/Episcopal form. it's a more 'modern world', eh?

I like him.

Hmmm.. In Canada it has been Regina vs John Smith, so I wonder what it will change to now that we have a King instead of a Queen? And will they change the coins?

BTW I learned to my surprise on TV last night that the monarchy costs each Brit only $1.67, American!

Good morning! Low of 39°, heading up to 76°, sunny with light breezes at 5-15 mph. The chances for a few sprinkles and a possible thunderstorm increase to 50% tomorrow. We could surely use some precip.

I think the garden tractor battery finally gave up the smoke..... it was slowly discharging over a month last season. Put it on charge yesterday, no juice after 8 hours... It's 7 years old, so probably time to replace anyway.

Today's agenda is to continue with the planters, getting them leveled and secured. And, have to fill them too....
My guess is that it's going to take longer than I think it should.....

Everyone have a great day!

53° with a cold wind.
I thought I’d do a little work outside but too chilly.

65° and .07 inches rain

May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii

Plan is to spend some quality time with pressure washer (just the electric one) this morning.

Later have to go to town. Need to get a Notary signature to undue a 20+ year old matter, POA on son’s 2002 Civic. In 2001 in hit a deer coming home from girl friends totally his recently acquired car. In a poorly thought out effort to save money he had cancelled collision insurance, hence still liable for loan. I order to get the Civic he needed co-signer. So Sophie has been on the Title and registration all these years. We didn’t even think of it after paid off. Guess we never thought he’d drive it over 20 years. Time has come to let that one go, signature needed.

In person Happy Hour this afternoon.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

1.17" of rain recorded with the last rain event that ended early this morning. It was a cloudy 42ºF for this morning's low temperature. There were some early morning rain sprinkles as I drove down to the "Big City" for supplies, and then the surprise appearance of the sun and it has been a mostly sunny mix of sun and clouds this morning. It has been breezy with 18mph gusts. The current 52ºF is today's high temperature and I anticipate increasing clouds a high temperature in the upper50ºF's and rain beginning later this afternoon/evening.

It's that time of year when flowers are blooming most everywhere around here but not at JaysterAcres. Half of the trees here are just starting to exhibit bud swelling. It does look like the wildlife will have a decent blueberry season.

Not much on my agenda this afternoon other than grilling up some . I might put up a few more bird feeder poles. From my photo records last year this week starts the beginning of the migratory birds returning.

Kyle, we normally keep the tub temp about 95°. It does tend to get warmer when I refill directly from the on demand heater.
