Drinking first cup of hot coffee. 50° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 72° with mostly cunny skies. Grocery shopping went good. Got wet grass mowed. Then washed Mule for tractor show today. Then thunderstorms moved in at noon. They continued until evening. Think I am ready to make trip to Mid Michigan Gas Tractor Show. Should be interesting. Lots of rain has made parking areas very wet.

Happy Anniversary to LS and wife! Lemon and lime trees sound good.

m70, hope your knee is better.

Took my wife to lunch at a very nice Chinese restaurant, then did some exploring at Home Depot and Walmart for some project we are working on in the house...I guess I'll be painting a while today.

good morning all
surprised it's 73 here and 60 in VA, warm morning but only high of 80

up early and moving, PT this morning and I need to stop at supermarket on the way and pick
up some donuts or something for their crew. If I feed them, they don't torture me as much...;)

going to be a long day, have a lower back MRI scheduled tonight at 7:30pm. Hospital backed up over two weeks to get a
non emergency MRI and could only give me a night appt. I really dislike MRI's; the pounding noise is nasty on
my tinnitus. I ask for two earplugs, the in ear and the one over the ear. Using both of them, seems to be tolerable

Frits, sorry you hurt your knee.
 
/ Good morning!!!! #175,468  
Good morning! After Yesterdays excessive heat this mornings temp is still hot.

Happy Anniversary LS.

Drew, good to know about PT bribe.

Good Morning!

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

59F going to maybe 80F, sunny all day.

Happy Anniverary LS’s!!!!!!!!

Truck went in, techs found rodent damage to wiring. So, between two TPMS sensors and cabling replacement/repairs, dropping about a Grand on this oil change. Still cheaper than buying a new one… truck had to stay overnight, since negative battery cable was not in stock and had to be ordered, hopefully it will arrive earlier in the day rather than later…

71 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. 87% humidity.

Long week, TGIF.

Started to reassert control over the yard last evening. LOL. Maybe by the end of the day, today, we will have one.

Another groundhog dispatched to the Marine Corp. Lucky number 7.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Those dealing with medical issues, good health, heal fast. Stay positive.

Good Morning.
64 with a high in the upper 70’s and clear skies for today. A little shower just passed through, less than .1” and that’s it for the day.

Yesterday was a great day, we completed the proving runs satisfactorily. We actually got time off for good behavior, they reduced our requirement by 10 hours. The FAA team was actually great to work with, they were not typical government types.

We had a celebratory dinner afterwards, and I made it home in time to hook up the tractor to the Progressive mower and get the open areas all mowed.
I called my DIL to tell her I was mowing is Luca wanted to help. She laughed and said he heard me and they were already on their way up.
We finished as it was getting dark, but got the mower blown off, parked and the tractor put away before he went home.

I collected the trash and recycling and got it to the street, made some more progress on the lightning repairs, and went to bed and slept like a baby.

Playing music tonight, life is good….

Happy anniversary Ted and Mrs LS.

Messed up the knee yesterday
Ligaments around knee are painful having to walk stairs with a stiff leg. May have to get a brace. So far staying of bending it and applying heat
You probably know BUT
Be extremely careful not to "over use" the other knee.
I "blew out" (technical term for medial collateral ligament injury) my right knee last fall, depended on my left knee too much, "blew out" that one a few months later.
Sort of like getting a flat on a loaded single axle trailer, putting on an iffy spare, shifting the weight to protect the spare, getting a flat on the other side.
I now have about 4 knee braces I cycle through, but can go for weeks without one.

Morning all, 67 going up to 80 and sunny.
Had some rain last night, again. no watering today needed.
Got some peaches from the tree, small but decent. Need to get a few before the critters take them.

Son playing at the VFW tonight, last showing for one of the bands he is in as 2 members leave for college.

Order is in for garage sheetrock and some electrical work. Should arrive any day now in many packages.

Work is getting weirder, new boss on one project asked to leave early, so 4th boss on this one project since start of the year. New, New, New, New boss has little experience running large programs, so we will support her and hope for the best.

I update GM pretty late every day since I usually do it after the first round of morning meetings. Having the team for this one project all in the UK and no through to spreading the team to the major sites, makes it hard to get things done.

Be well,
