Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Looks like I need to replace batteries already in my lot camera. Just noticed no pics the last 2 days. Put new in Aug 12, just under 7 weeks ago.

I got all the grass mowed today. it was really tall and thick after the recent rains. amazing how fast it turned from brown to thick green. 3 hrs on the meter today.
There were 2 apples on my northern spy tree, first i've seen on it. I picked them and will try them. They are more a cooking apple.


scott, nice chest.

Home you'll get enough apple for home made apple sauce.

Good Morning!

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

60.8F going to high 70s, sunny all day.

So far, no leaks on the repaired pipe assembly in the hot tub, still leaving everything open for another week or three, just in case.

I haven’t checked the cold water heater yet, but as of last night, no leaks.

Now that I have (apparently) successfully done the anode on our cold water heater, I know it has never been done on my mother’s unit, so that will go on the to-do list…

I did not remove the lower element - I forgot to do it while the tank was empty. So when I drain it again in the spring that will get checked.

Today’s itinerary includes a trip to WallyWorld for some plastic storage bins - I need two so I can attempt to do gravity honey extraction and storage of frames, Mrs needs some for putting summer clothing away. Then work on the hives and remove supers and install feeder boxes, then a trip to woodlot with the dogs, since they haven’t had a walk up the mountain in several days.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

good morning, 58 going to 69 drizzle but no rain in FC.

That tool chest is beautiful craftmanship. Saw the Gerstner chests costing thousands. Using the wood chests protects from rust

The paver repair is taking a while. Do they need more parts?

Good Afternoon m7040,
I was a toolmaker/modelmaker for almost 40 years, and did have a Gerstner tool chest. But as a woodworker my plan was always to build my own chest !

I built this chest about 25 years ago. The carcass is black walnut, the drawers are butternut and the diamond inlays are rosewood. The drawer pulls are brass that I turned on a lathe. The drop front iinset is birdseye maple, and I also made the spring loaded locks that hold the front up while in the locked position ! Fun project !

Very nice work — my meager collection of machine instruments reside in a generic metal box…
