Good morning!!!!

Good Morning
55 and going to the upper 70’s under a clear sky.

Yesterday started with driving to the airport for a trip to New Hampshire in the new Prius. It made the 33 mile drive as an EV, I’m still figuring all the systems out.
I plugged it in to a 120v outlet at the airport while I went off on the trip. It was fully charged when I got back. It drives the same on battery as it does when it did when I picked it up without enough charge to run in EV mode, and ran on gas for the ride home.

The trip was uneventful, the tops of the clouds were low, this was at 3000 feet. Some weather over Long Island and Cape Cod, but we were over it at 31,000 feet.

Made the usual stop at Mission BBQ for lunch, had some excellent Chicken. The goal for the ride home was to try out the radar cruise control on the turnpike, adjust the volume for the GPS prompts and find the tone controls for the JBL stereo. Pleased to say that I achieved them all. Now I know why Drew wanted adaptive cruise control. I set it for 73, was behind someone doing 55, and it followed them at a very safe distance.

When I moved over into a lane that was going faster, it sped up to 73, and slowed down nicely to follow traffic on the off-ramp. The spacing is adjustable,that was set at the maximum follow distance. A lot more to learn, but I like it a lot.

When I got home son and his family were there flying model airplanes, grandson was in the barn helping his grandmother, Zoe was enjoying the outdoors as well.

I visited with them, but didn’t do much else than study the manuals and figure more Prius stuff out.

Today will start with going over to my friend’s hangar (he recently passed away at 67 from a massive heart attack) to sell some of his equipment for his widow. I have an agreement on the plane that is in there, the goal is to out of the hangar by the end of the month. Also have to take his grandson up in the plane before it sells.

Probably go over to the RC field after lunch, not much else planned. Today is my birthday, we will all get together for dinner, but not today.

Happy Hatch Day!

55 outside this AM, may touch 80 today. 93% humidity.

Spent most of the day yesterday working on Milk House gable area and roof of walk-in area that is now enclosed between Barn and Milk House. Roof metal was bent up against gable side outside of siding. Today it is remove some more siding, clean up attic, remove some more pipes (heavy and long, 36 feet plus). I'll see if I can cover it up with foam board after I beat the metal into submission.

Nothing else on the agenda.

Belated congrats to those celebrating birthdays and anniversary's.

Hope all have a productive day. Be safe. Get or stay healthy to those in need.

happy birthday Paul, too bad you are getting old, like the rest of us

Kilroy, homemade meatballs and red sauce, yum, yum, yum
nice thing about meatballs is you can make them a lot of different ways.
I'm sure Don makes his with jackfruit.
I like to use a little ground lamb in mine.

I bet they would be yummy with some of Popgadget's brisket mixed in.

bright blue sky, sun is out, going to be a very nice day.
As Captain Picard would say
make it so

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! To Mr and Mrs Sodamo. Hope you enjoy many more together.

Kyle, that's a nice 'pond'..... more like small lake! How deep is it?

Drew, the wifey says the mums are beautiful! ..... now your giving her ideas and possibly more work for me!

Got the new deck almost done.... just the deck. Tomorrow will get to start staining the open rafters for the roof. Hopefully will get some put up.
But, need to do 3 posts and a beam for them to rest on first.....

Just keep chipping away at it..... I can't believe how much of a setback the knee has caused me.... just a few years ago, I would have been done already. That's ok, I really enjoy building, this slow pace has taken my enjoyment level to another level!......

Hope everyone has a nice evening!

Ls, How long has the recovery it been since your knee replacement surgery? And how long did the pain last? I think I’m going to have to do it myself, but I hear conflicting reports how long the pain lasted how long you are out of commission

Good morning all. Coffe just finished cooking. Time to pour out!

Had a nice evening watching the sunset on the balcony in town last night, and the daughter made tacos for us. (She just loves to cook.)

Back up north tomorrow, and will be finishing the rest of the final floor in the basement bedroom. That will be it! No, I was with pink painted, and then we can move furniture again.

Had to remember to order the turkey for this weekend. I LOVE turkey!

Got a new five minute half inch Ryobi battery operated saw yesterday, and also picked up a battery. Operated pressure washer. Will be interesting to see how the pressure washer does on cleaning the pontoons on the pontoon boat when we take it out next weekend.

Have a great day, everybody!
