thanks
old line bricks and mortar bank located in Souderton PA, Mennonite country.
Pretty conservative approach.

I'm not even close to the 250K Fed insurance limit anyway.
If enough banks fail in rapid succession, the FDIC will run out of money in short order. At least you have a bank that is really “old school” to rely on!

Morning 47 going up to 58 and cloudy.
More rain last night.

RNG - sorry about the stucco and house bid. Sloppy stucco will never look right so glad contractor agrees it needs fixin.

Still need to get the pole saw out to trim along the driveway, but it's just too wet right now.

Be well,

44 and might go up 10 degrees with a chance of rain this afternoon.
Maybe a good day to roll the RC runway. Not a good day to mow, but the way the gras is growing, I might not be able to wait for a good day.

Yesterday was spent looking out a windshield. Nice day in Florida though.

I can play this video game to pass the time

Got back to Philly and then dropped the turboprop off at the other end of the state in Washington.

I need to get caught up around here, and coordinate with Drew about getting his RV squared away.
Off to have breakfast with the professor, then see about how I’m going to roll the RC runway

0.15" of rain recorded from overnight/early morning rain showers and it was a cloudy, raw, and misty 39ºF morning low temperature during this morning's

tour of the lower perimeter. I expect today's weather to be similar to the last preceding few days with mostly cloudy skies, periods of rain/drizzle/fog/mist, occasional glimpses of blue skies/sun, and a high temperature in the low 50ºF's. Not the best weather for outdoor activities.
 
   / Good morning!!!! #169,205  
Good morning, the low is 42 and the high to 50°F. Winds light and variable. 40% chance of showers.

A town/dump run is in the cards for today and maybe pick up the bigger rocks in the driveway. Tomorrow will be BH for sure.

The F350 is owned by a guy from Toronto, he has a cottage up here. He was supposed to get the truck out of where it is last fall and didn't. I told the girl that works at the shop where the truck is that I would tow it for the tow fee. She told me that he wouldn't part with it. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

That is about it for today, stay safe all

Good morning! Low of 47°, heading towards 70°. Mostly cloudy now, no rain at all, yet anyway....Probably not going to happen.

Breezes pick up this afternoon and tomorrow, gusts to 25. Still not bad compared to other wind events. We just need more rain.....

Paul, that's a video game not too many people would want to play! Thanks for posting the pics.

Kilroy, sorry to hear about the back pain. Hopefully it goes away quickly!

Drew, hope you can get the RV lights squared away. LED lights always an improvement.

LFN, sorry you couldn't score the truck.... I probably wouldn't part with it either......

Jay, sounds like great hiking weather... cool, misty, rain.... NOT!

RNG, sorry to hear about the stucco contractor. Is the main contractor helping with the gate repair?

Hopefully, today's agenda will include more planting. There is still chances for a shower this morning , so may not happen until this afternoon. I don't like working in mud......

Everyone have a great day!

Chiro had no openings, but he likes us, so he is squeezing me in after last patient at 7PM. 😁

I just have to take it easy for the rest of the day - probably just clean up in my office and in front of the woodstove (put away scarves/mittens/boots, vacuum ash /wood debris etc).

66°f and 1.20 inches rain. Likely put a damper of any outside activity.

TBN app has been hit or miss last couple of days.

H&F this afternoon and my turn to cook so I will take advantage of the wet weather. Picked some fresh eggplant yesterday and will attempt to turn into a tomato, eggplant, sausage, pasta meal.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Kilroy- I hope that get some relief tonight; Good luck.

The sun is starting to make its appearance this afternoon with brief periods of blue skies and/or sunshine. The current temperature is 51ºF which may become today's high temperature. I took advantage of the weather to vacuum the🐕 hair out the 🛻. It's futile, but the only alternative is to wear a full face respirator mask or a hazmat suit. At least he is "dry-mouthed" unlike our St. B.'s so I do not have to deal with 🐕drool stalactites or stalagmites.

55F and generally cloudy @ 14:45, calling for a mix of sun and clouds and high of around 59F. Radar indicates some lingering showers in the area ... but I'm not sure if they are even reaching the ground.

Woman just got back from another appointment @ the dentist, visit went well ... (y)

Ended up being a relaxed pace day yesterday.

Got hopper feeder and one suet refilled, plus some cracked corn scattered for the ground feeders. Suet feeders seem to be getting hit real hard lately.

Loaded up some of the Biesenmeyer fence parts in the van and got those moved up to the shop.

Front rail for the fence cleaned off and installed on the Unisaw. That needed to have the height of the horizontal flat set 2 27/32" below the table top.

Manual mentioned an included template to be used for doing so, took a little research online before I managed to figure out a combination square could be used to accomplish the task and got that done (Doh !)

Got quite a bit of cleaning done around the double-barrel stove, picking up all the crud off the floor.

That allowed me to move the table so there is more room near the overhead door.

Hauled in a bunch of wood to dry out.

Woman went over and got dinner from the good Mexican place, watched Nature on PBS and ended up falling asleep during NOVA so did not make it back up to the shop.

Agenda for the rest of the day:

Get fire started up in the shop.

Get rear rail and rectangular tube for fence cleaned up and installed on Unisaw.

Dig through the various blade guards and splitters from the auction and see if there is anything that can be modified to use with the Unisaw.

Will likely wait until tomorrow when it's warmer and the Sun is out to move Unisaw down to the garage here at the house.

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday ... (y)

60° and mostly sunny.

With last week’s streaming issue, I bought new hdmi cables.
Rented the 16 ft step ladder again today. Installed new hdmi over fiber cable that supports 8K video. Pulled older Ethernet cable out to pull new cable in, as the new projector has WiFi. Left the old hdmi cable and vga cable as they didn’t want to budge in the conduit.
Lot of up and down ladders.
Once that worked ran another Ethernet cable thru attic, that feeds our streaming camera. I had it temporarily tacked to the wall for 2 years.
Only work left is to in the sound room, run the 2 cables down wall, right now I left them hanging thru the ceiling.
Was getting warm in the attic by the time I finished.

You are on the home stretch of finishing the best Unisaw out there
