Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

70 outside this AM. Lower 80's expected. 96% humidity. We need rain.

Still sore from chimney roof work. Maybe by the end of the week I can move normally again. I have a window of decent weather within the next week to work with. Does not look to be super hot, which is good for attic work. Trying to schedule roofer for repair, and get more details for plumber and septic hookups. Need better breakdown on trenching, concrete removal, line runs and equipment makeup.

On Facebook, been on there since it started. When MarketPlace became available both the SO and I used it instead of CL. No bad experiences, yet. We have yet to give out anything but our item description, phone numbers and a secure public space to meet. Honestly, have not had the crazies follow us like on CL. I liked CL, it was much simpler...progress I guess.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Those ailing, get well soon.

Good morning! Today will be the coolest day in August! 72˚F heading to just 93˚ because of cloud cover and North wind. Just dropped to 71˚ and another hour before sunrise and we might see the predicted 69˚!!!

Buppies I think you are right, the reporters and writers in the news media grew up with the word "Amazing" and they have to be able to conjure up a report for their stories to reach that level.

My parents never had Facebook Market place, they just kept everything and now I have to dispose of it. So I'm pushing it to the Estate liquidator. We need more table and shelf space so today we will meet with her to try to determine which items are table worthy and which items are only dumpster worthy. My mom had a very neat house but every shelf, cabinet, drawer, attic, garage, and out building was filled.

Right on point Don More hype.
My parents house was as you describe. Mother was a neatnick, gosh I miss them

73, foggy and humid. Getting up to 84.

Never used CL and not on FB, but glad to see they can work, but be careful. Long ago, used the "Trading Post" newspaper to buy/sell used. Bought my first surfboard that way and thought is was such a good idea. Wonder if they are still around.

We got another 1.7 inches of rain yesterday...I decided to wash windows while it was just lightly sprinkling...kept seeing heavy rain on the radar, but it would never move closer. Well, it did...I got the first 11 done and was drenched. I decided to knock off. I like washing windows when cloudy or light rain...keeps them wet longer/uses less water, but when my boots got sloshy and my clothes started sticking to me, and it was 73F, that ran me in.

Did some maintenance on my 3 pt tiller, and hooked it up. Once the ground is dry enough, will get out and till and get some fall/winter mix planted.

Good Evening Guys,
So I’m wondering if any of you guys have tried to sell anything on FB Marketplace ?
Earlier today I listed two toddler push cars. I’ve been texted twice by different people that asked if the items were still available. I said they were and then they asked for my cell number which I thought was Ok to give that out ! Then they say they want to text me a 6 number code. I didn’t see a problem with that , but when they texted me the code 22000, on my phone a message comes up that says this is your Apple ID, do not give this code to anyone ! So if I had texted the number back they would have my Apple ID , along with some other info that I’m pretty sure I don’t want to give out !! Then just a few minutes ago the same thing happens again !
And all I'm trying to do is sell some inexpensive children toys that the kids have outgrown !
I think it might be easier to just put an add in the paper, with a phone number !! Any thoughts on all of this madness ??
Thanks !!

We haven't run into that issue and my wife's been selling quite a bit of stuff on FB market place lately.

Good Morning
It’s 67 with a high of 80 under partly cloudy skies. Should be a dry day.

Yesterday followed the plan, more or less. Got trip done by noon, lunch at Mission BBQ, finally got the compressor installed at the restaurant, the cooler works as it should now. Interesting install, uses R290 which is propane. Took the Makita string trimmer and blower for a walk, and visited with son and grandson when they came up.

Today starts with breakfast with the professor, wife is likely coming as well. Airport Authority zoom meeting after that, then some serious clean up in the shop and paperwork.

I recognize that shop as HR Auto Radio Drew, I remember them from the 60’s.

Good Morning!

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

67F going to low 80e. started raining/t-storms around midnight and going through to evening, where we might get a break befor starting to get outer band effects from Idalia.

today is an admin day, hav to drive mom to a couple appointments, then we go for our 30-day weigh-in on the diet (I am down about 22#) and maybe a quick shopping run then putter around house until we drop the Subaru off tonight for service tomorrow - car is shuddering with moderate braking over 25mph, hopefully it is just rotors and not bearing runout… because then I would have them do both sides,and while THAT is apart, I would have them do halfshafts… and if we go that far, new pads.

Harry is howling for attention.

have a happy healthy blessed day!

Reading some more the number 22000 is used by google to send verification codes. Not sure exact how that transfers to apple, but definitely a scam to get access to your account.
What number does it show the txt came from?

Good Morning Guys,
61 to start going to 79 , and we still have humidity. Rain coming in later tonite or tomorrow morning ! Then some nice weather on the way for the long weekend !

BEF,
I have no plans to give out anything more than my cell ! I dont Venmo as I told more people than I can count so far ! I just cant believe how much response I have gotten on two plastic push cars, worth a total of $20 ! The sooner these things are gone the better !

I thank you all for your thoughts, and really have no desire to get scammed over some next to worthless items !

All have a blessed and safe day !

Good Morning KJC,
I am guessing its your rotors ! Thats is way more common than bearing problems !

Good Morning
Overcast, rain tonight, maybe.
I need to get rid of so much stuff. I did pull a couple things out of basement for the trash.
Wife picked a bunch more tomatoes last night. She worked on tomatoes all day yesterday, I tried to stay out of the way.

Morning all, 70 going up to 79 and cloudy, calling for rain tonight.
Did some drywall patching last night to finally close the ceiling where the pipes were fixed. Still need to sand and coat again, then paint. Been a while since I did this, looks fine so far.

Another high school friend passed this week. Died in his sleep.

Be well,

Started off cool this morning here in East Texas. Looking like a high in the low 90's.

Heading down to Houston with my youngest son tomorrow. Hope to get a bowl of the greatest Gumbo in the world at the Ragin' Cajun.

Need to drop a few pounds. All this hot weather and staying inside eating ice cream has put a few pounds on me.

Looking forward to getting outside for a few hours after a conference call at 9am.

Hope everyone has a great day!
