Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

still getting oversize messages, failure to load pics, part of problem is every time I connect the cable to the phone
software tries to load all 20,000 pics in the phone to present the last few for review. I should never have done a pic
dump from the old phone to this new one. Now it's much much slower loading pics.
is there a way to mark all pics in one's I15 camera as "read" aka leave me alone

am thinking a Saturday afternoon nap listening to the rain is a fine idea.
I got enough done today, peeked into greenhouse, it looks fine, holding at about 73 in there, just fine.
so now the house is once again cram packed with seedlings ready to pop, and this second batch will be the last.
I'll have to put the trays in sideways on the racks as it is.

I grew just one bush bean in a little biodegradable pot.
wanted to watch it grow.
amazing energy in a bean, grows almost an inch a day, about six inches now
jumping up
will save the rest for April. No sense planting beans until the soil warms up
and it's still mighty cold. Too cold for my radishes and lettuce, but getting there
wishing and hoping doesn't cut it...only the dial on the soil thermometer.
If not at least 50 degrees, not sure even lettuce will grow.
I need some sun to warm up those raised beds, should get some tomorrow.

Irv (300GUY) who started this thread is still doing good. He had some tree damage at his place earlier this week. Borrowed this photo from his wifes FB page.

Yesterdays tractor shopping trip got my neighbor a nice Kubota B2920 with FEL, 60" MM mower and back blade.

Did you get a free Kubota ballcap?

As an 'Official Tractor Advisor', a hat for you should have been included in the negotiations.

Good evening !

All kids are at home, including oldest daughter, watching on TV Midsummer murders (UK TV series)

I cant understand, what brings them together to watch this show. Anyway - lovely view

Was good day today. Together with wifey and smaller kids have visited one customer of mine which is burning money on renovation of some older mansion

This is party hall. Made to handle also intoxicated public - simple, rigid, still wery good looking. Not yet decent lamps

On main house there are different approach
That mirror and carvings on bed is where my CNC was used. Partly. Later carpenter finished those pieces. Still crazy amount of handwork. And there are like 20 rooms, full with such stuff. That is not wallpapers on walls, but textile, mirror is golden plated wood. A lot of ceilings are hand painted, with birds, flowers, etc

There is no business under this, guy does all this just because he likes that.

Few years back when he was signing order of cnc (€300k, crazy 5 axer) I have asked directly - dude, wtf ? He told me - if any friend of mine will need a place for party, I will be happy to help.
I have called him recently - my wife soon will have 50, can we make a deal ?
- welcome, just don't break anything

So today we went there to see the place. Crazycrazycrazy. It took 2 hours just to walk trough majority of rooms (not all of them)

On the way back made a stop near our biggest river. Ice is mowing

Hydro power stations are running like crazy now. If flow is bigger than 2800 m^sec, they open safety bypass. Not today. They are near that, but not yet
This pic I have stolen from last year's flood

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Helo, that road is a motorcyclists' dream.

Yeah, indeed. Good thing with Italy is, that they have a lot of roads like that. Literally - racetracks. And polizia stradale is rather liberal. Don't ask me how I know

Once I returned from Dolomiti mountains had front tire's sides spoiled till threads, but central part of tire still was rather good. OK, 2CT tire, but still

I like this approach.

Hope BMW comes out of hibernation ok.

Daughter is beautiful.

Thanks !

Good Afternoon Helo,
Beautiful bike, nothing like Deutsch engineering !!

Sometimes they are over-engineering. But for me that bike is perfection. Comfy, still not overly heavy, swift and powerful. And not asking for big love, actually I am not servicing it very carefully, but it is all fine, no problems at all

~~~~~~~~~

Kyle and Frits, hope your sons will be OK soon


That's about it. Take care, have good W/E

I had two glue traps (for mice) right inside the attic access door. Checked it today and found three dead bats. I like bats, but not in the house. I still feel kinda bad though...

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.0C and it's presently 14.4C, fairly clear with a breeze.

Arrived at my 'procedure' in ample time and everything went fine... especially bantering with the Doctor as he performed it. His "surgical" outfit was white coveralls & white gumboots (rubber-boots/'Wellies'); I said that he looked more prepared for working at a dairy. He responded that previous comments were for a butcher.

I had lunch in Launie and then picked up a few things. Arrived home close to 1600.

I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.

Nope! No way the seller could out due my Orange TBN hat signed by Muhammad.

Not much sleep here.
One son developed water in the lungs and was hospitalized
Another son had thoughts of suicide. Was trying to talk to him as long as we could. Hope he got help

Strong thoughts prayers for you sons.

Was just thinking about him yesterday and wondering how he was. I was going thru my Life on the Farm thread and was noting people like him who I hadn't seen online in awhile. Thanks for the update.

Extra prayers for your son, Kyle

Taking a break after a few hours mowing. Made a mocha latte. Sophie already remarked 3 times how good it is.

Coffee is brewing. 32° with fog this morning. Heading to 57° with with cloudy skies and a breeze. Got nothing done on todo list. Helped neighbor get a 4 wheel ATV up and running in the morning. In afternoon other neighbor came over with tractor we picked up Friday. Did a very thorough check of all controls and grease and lubed it. This is first tractor he has operated or owned. Managed to get laundry done in between. Need to get it put away today.

Popgadget, I actually live about 15 miles west and 5 miles south of airport. I see many planes. But most are a small spec in the ski. I did wave at all the planes I saw.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Morning all!
Currently 43 going to a wet 57! My kind of March weather!
Was able to spend some time out in the yard picking up branches and pine cones. I was able to fill the wheel barrow twice before being chased by the rain back inside. Still lots more out there!
Bought the nephew his first car. To say he is excited would be correct! We weren't looking for one yet as we want him to save and contribute. This car fell into our lap as it's a friend of the family's who turned 90 and can no longer drive. He bought it new and put 120,000ish miles on it. Great shape with no rust. I don't think he ever drove it in bad weather. Should be perfect for a new driver. Will put it on the road after he saves up the money for all the fees.
Wife and I are doing better health wise. Both still have sniffles and I have a slight cough. Better every day!
Spent some time in the shop and finished a 10 inch Walnut bowl and a 8x5 tray. Did some other work with glue up and design but no pics.
Time for more coffee!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

 

[Buppies]

48 this morning high in 60s winter went poof for a while. Hope we get more rain to keep reservoirs full for summer. Grass is getting ready to take off. Coyotes are howling above me deer scarce above us, if they give me a shot I’ll take it

Neck trying to improve tree fell on driveway moved with tractor will cut up when feel better. Neck till swollen from surgery

Prayers for all our Country

 

[Buppies]

Beautiful wood work mpham

Morning mostly

 

[ronjhall]

Phil, I have not done anything with the pine cones that fell off trees along my property line. I have never seen the large corp that fell this year. My plan is to chop them up with mower.
