Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

Thomas, have fun, hope everything is light weight
nice of you to help out

good dinner out with friends, ready for bed and my book.
to stay awake, being such a dismal night person, drank a lot of coffee with dinner so expect to be up for a little.
just chatted with Engineer, who lives someplace in the Delaware area.

very quiet here but oh my did someone have a bad day here recently.
took this pic coming in to campground from a distance

The good thing about having ants running the splitter is that I am much better at stacking, so she gets to participate and I get to make sure the ricks are stable

The red-marked wood to the left is the pine which will season for two years, then it gets into a mix of sourwood and oak. There is still a pule of sourwood left to split, it should mostly fill up that gap in between the new and old ricks.

The Rick to the right behind the tent will be relocated into the second woodshed and the wood from the woodlot will replace it for the ‘24-‘25 season.

supposedly going into the 40s tonight here in Appalachia — Mrs made me pull out her heavy Ralph Lauren quilt!

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 10C and it's presently 22.4C, mostly clear and the wind is increasing... 'we' are under a severe wind (gale) warning starting late this arvo &, perhaps, some rain tomorrow morning. At this time of the year (onset of Spring) the predictions are all over the place.

Yesterday I was able to drop off a full box of empty wine bottles to the recyclable bin at the tip, then into town to pick up a couple of delivered cases of wine at the PO. Filled the ute with petrol & a 20ltr jerry-can of diesel.

Arvo was spent cleaning up Paddock #1. I just forked the droppings into my wheelbarrow amongst all of the other tasks.

Not much planned for today although I'll probably take down my flag & flagpole in anticipation of the wind. That's about it, take care all.

How about 9/66?
september 1966 makes more sense

Well, it's something 6. I'll have to look at the other tab closely, could be 86, but I think I used it in the 70s. Still has white gas in it.

Went by the "Farm" on the way to the estate house Sunday and there was a crowd there, sure do miss the Fall Festival, but bum knee will keep me off the tractor till it gets replaced to match my other knee.

My medallion guaranteed signature was all done online for probate. They asked multiple questions that got e wondering "how do they know that"? One question they asked was a multiple choice question and asked which of 3 women did I know. The answer was a step sister and they used her maiden name.

50 going to 79. Lots of stars.

Had a nice hike after my dump run. There was a young man sitting on a bench playing a 5 string electric bass...most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. He was practicing for a try-out to get a job in a band on a cruise ship...says he'd be on it for 6 months. Hope he gets the job.

Cleaned my zero turn well since I have to crawl under to change the hydraulic/transmission fluid today. I also need to change the filter, and clean the strainer with a non-flammable solvent...not sure I have any...or what to look for.

Routine dentist appointment this morning.

 

[Thomas]

54F cloudy mid 60's for high steady breeze maybe couple quick passing showers.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...Soon heading to parts store help out,after work clean critter feeding area than see what pops up.

Enjoy your day all.

55 outside this AM, heading to upper 70's. 86% humidity.

Finished insulation and foam board on one end of the Milk House gable. Up and down the ladder is tiring. Will wrap it with vinyl later today.

Still waiting on two plumber estimates. Neighbor plumber came by late last night. Late...but he gave us some ideas and his ball park estimate is in line with others. Seems no one want to give me a layout though on pipes. Which is what I am after. Anyway, digging and pipe to septic is the killer. Estimates of 70 to 100 a foot have come in. I am having a furball with that. And that's ballpark for this area. It's plastic pipe and a trench....

I may need to take down another wall in the Milk House, new layout, thanks to the plumber. More space obviously without wall. But darn it, that means moving some electric again. Will see what wife wants.

No hints from dealer on MX. So they are coming to get it. Need 400 hour servicing and the A/C looked at. Oh well...

Looks like another expensive month is going to be on the books soon.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Safe travels to those on the move. Get well wishes to those ailing.
