Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

good morning everyone
wow, sunshine and 66 today? yippee

lots planned for today, continuing to get rv ready, hope to take it this afternoon up to Tractor Supply and get the main
propane tank filled. I have another portable tank to fill also, no sense making two trips up there.

engine had sat for three months without starting. Was put away with fresh oil change.
very slight valve tick/tap for ten seconds starting, then went away. Figure that's pretty normal.
will put several cans of Sea Foam in tank when I fill it up

weather is not going to cooperate for my trip to Lancaster, appears to rain the entire time I'm there and on way back.
oh well. My only concern is leaving the propane heater on low while I'm away. supposed to be 55 during day, and if sunny, would get
way too hot in there, so thinking I'll leave the two ventilation flaps open. I'm using the heat less and less as sunny days show up, can turn it off
during the day. I can't wait until next year when I have a proper system.
I think I wanted to prove to myself this was still fun, and it sure is, so will spend the money next year.

39 and patches of fog, going to 65. Got 1.4 inches of rain yesterday...Weather man says up to 4 more inches of rain this coming week.

Got son and DIL's taxes finished and filed. They're happy with refund on the way. Watched a little college hoops and created a simple video of one of my hikes instead of doing my taxes. Yard was too squishy to do any work outside.

Buppies, hope your neck gets back to normal soon.

Kyle, any word on your boy?

Phil, nice that you got your nephew a car, and that he's having to work to pay expenses. That's a real special time in a guy's life.

 

[Buppies]

Kyle prayers for your son

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..

None of them were us. We did take off westbound, but ATC turned us to the north within about 5 miles of the airport.

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.

Good morning, the low is 35 and going to a high of 50°F. Wind E 5 mph. Sunny!

There is a scheduled power outage starting at 8 A.M. and going through to 11 A.M. About quarter to 8 I will go out and start the genny. After I make this post I will shut off the computer.
while the juice is off I will run two more lengths of 14/2 wire. I am installing another split duplex outlet on the end wall of the building. One for the fuel pump for the tractor and the other one for the tractor and Dodge sheds.
I have two 15 amp circuits that I killed the breakers on 5 years ago, I will take them apart and use them for the outlet.
That is my day planned out for me.

I am patiently waiting for word on M7040 and Kyles boys.

Have a safe day all

Very lightheaded when I first got up today. Back lying in bed and drinking water.
Wife had something like this yesterday after exercising.

Think I will stay home this morning. Will get a bite to eat, maybe blood sugar?

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I also have lots of sticks to pick up. My fire ring is full already.
Still need to finish cutting the pine tree across my broken front fence. Not today.
We also got 1” rain yesterday. Sun out now, but a wet week ahead.
still dizzy when I sat up and ate a kitcat bar.

Frits, prayers for your son to reach some internal peace and happiness
this must be very hard on you

41 outside this AM, heading to lower 60's. Rain stopped yesterday and sun actually came out in time for the get together. It was fun seeing everyone and a good positive send off message for the daughter. I had a good laugh as one of my neighbors was discussing how he had a run in with an old grumpy man over riding his ATV's to another neighbor. Then I realized he was talking about me. LOL.

Need to make a dump run today. And then take the day as it comes.

Thinking of those ailing this AM. Stay positive. Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Good Morning
It’s 47° and mostly sunny, highs in the low 60’s today. Probably the only day for the next week without rain in the forecast. We got over an inch yesterday, we don’t need any more, the ground is saturated.

Yesterday’s trip took up most of the day, but was unremarkable. Good lunch at Mission BBQ, brisket, Cole slaw and green beans.
Got acoustic damping foam installed in the speakers, not much left for the final assembly, might wait for a rainy day though, especially if I get a better offer, like flying to lunch with son in the little plane.

RAV 4 project is complete and came out quite well, even sandblasted and repainted the class 3 hitch before re-installing it.

 

[Buppies]

Prayers for son m7040

 

[Buppies]

Hope you feel better BEF

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Did remote into church computer and got the song slides made for this morning.

Morning all, 50 going to 66 and sunny.
Is this a taste of spring?
Got all the shelf slats sanded, but sander is a bit worn out, I think I paid 35$ for it and it's been used a lot in the last 5 years.
Today it's nice enough for outside shelf painting!

Dog walk later, son to brunch with friends and later to work.
Have him driving at night to practice, even had heavy fog to deal with and did fine.

Hope all ok with your son M7040...

Kyle - how is your son?

Be well

 

[daugen]

I have a couple of Makita sanders and lots of sandpaper Ken if you want me to
stop on down.
first trip to TSC done, got 30 pounder filled plus some more seedling soil
now to head back there with rv

nice and sunny out, was able to turn off heat in greenhouse
actually hope it gets warm enough to put some flats out in the sun

Nice day here in SW MI. Mid 40's going to mid 60's. I get to clean out our basement of all the crap we don't use anymore.

Also last game of the season for my daughter's hockey team. She broke her stick in yesterday's game so wife and kid left early to hopefully buy her a new one since her back up stick is a little short. Basketball is cheaper.....
