70°F and .01 inches rain

We have water. Need to recheck for leaks.

Some clean up from yesterday, but coffee and bike first.

Probably watch the debate later.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

76F and partly cloudy @ 12:30, heading up to around 81F for the day's high. Thunderstorms today/tonight with potential for severe.

Got hopper and both tube feeders refilled yesterday, also scattered some cracked corn for the ground feeders.

Water Buffalo refilled.

Have about 80% of the east side of the driveway sprayed, got a similar amount done on the south edge of the road as well. Also driveway area around planting bed in second circle. Woman worked on spraying weeds around back.

Finished off the ribs for an afternoon snack, Woman offered to cook up some bacon for BLT's for dinner ...

All told we got a total of 4 gallons of juice put on, I made up another 4 gallons of juice as the last thing before knocking off for the day so we would be ready to go at the next opportunity.

Woman would like to continue spraying but I don't see that as being realistic given the likelihood of rain. Probably better to focus on getting stuff put away before the rain hits.

I might try and get the mowing started on the front before the rain arrives as it's getting pretty long. Will start at the bottom as its more likely to stay wet longer.

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday ...

Back from haircut, then lunch at mission bbq. Then Costco to pick up few items. Got out for once under $100, just bread, milk, ham slices and OJ.
Traffic backed up North and west bound from multiple accidents, fortunately I headed east.
They stripped and paving road intersection below the house, so main road was one lane, but no backups out here.
Bit warm on porch now, was really cool out this morning.

Next, I want electric cars to NOT get subsidies, and every year at annual licensing time, I want them to have to report their mileage and for it to be verified, so they have to pay the same road use tax that the rest of us have to pay when we buy fuel. Fair is fair. It's time to

Good Morning Lou,
Did you go to the Washington County Fair ? I am guessing yes because its almost next door to you in Greenwich ! If so how was it this year ? Much new tractor displays and tractor equipment ? Wish I coiuld have made it !

Yes, I go several times to the Washington County fair. I got through about a third of the exhibts and barns the other day. Actually the Fair Grounds are in the Township of Easton with a mailing address of Greenwich just like I am.

If the rain holds off the out of the field tractor pulls are Friday starting at 10 AM with the light classes and a starting again at 7PM for the heavy classes.
They are doing diesel pickups tonight and gas tomorrow along with the super stock pickups, then out of the field tractors Friday and Super Stocks and Modified Saturday. Last night was a rodeo, Monday opening day was a demolition derby and another demolition derby Sunday to close it out.

This year the tractor and equipment count was down a bit. Had Salem Farm Supply (CIH, Kubota), Capitol Tractor (NH, Mahindra), United Ag and Turf (JD), JC Tractor (TYM, Branson, Zetor). Didn't see our two local Kioti dealers or the Yanmar dealer.
Also quite a bit of construction equipment displayed also.

Got about 3/4 of the front cut.

Woman gathered up weeds and loaded them into the dump cart which I hauled up to the compost pile and dumped.

Currently under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning with a torrential downpour.

Be interesting to see how much it eventually dumps as it’s been going on for a while.

Watering will not be necessary for probably another week at least assuming no further rain during that time.

Power just went off …

And came back on …

Almost no deer the last 2 days. Not sure about this one.

Like they say around here...If you see 1 or 2 listen for the others.

Buppies we shall always pull strong for you and prayers.

very successful afternoon getting things done at Popgadget's.
rv wiring made no sense, often backwards of industry standard.
but got the lights installed, the anti rattle hitch installed so the e bike doesn't wobble, and a new
side marker light put on.

these new bright turn signals should make it a lot safer changing lanes, oem were pretty dim

only par tonight in backing up into the driveway, made it in three. If I make it in two, it's a birdie...
