Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Messed around outside before rain comes.
Air in low. BX tire
Glued piece of conduit at shed, then remembered why it wasn’t glued, I want to jack up corner and adjust block under the corner. Still can do that.
Tried to drill large rock behind the barn. Discovered the only SDX Max bits I have are the core bits. Others are smaller. Tried using the smaller dewalt hammer drill, wasn’t making much progress so stopped
Got laser level out, discovered the rock is below existing barn slab height by about 2”.
Got everything put away, now sun came out.

66°F and .58 inches rain. Today starting off wet.

Great day yesterday, beautiful if I acknowledge the hours of mowing. Laupahoehoe end of property done. Only about 1/4 tank of diesel left, thought I had another can. Need to pay better attention.

H&F this afternoon. This will be our last 3 couple series as Dave and Theresa return to Canada Sunday.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good Afternoon,
Ct, 50 to start going to 58 with light rain and fog conditions! Leaving shortly with our friends for a long weekend in Long Island ! They have a cottage in Sound Beach !

My Fujitsu mini split remote stopped working for my downstairs unit ! Tried brand new batteries, turning breaker off and then on etc,,,,, The unit is running and producing heat, but I have no control with the remote ! I will try and get my contractor back here to diagnose the problem ! I did have a mouse that got up there a few weeks ago, supposedly up through the tube on the side of the house ! But I sealed those tubes with expandable foam so I think I should be good ! Hoping they didn’t eat any wires in there ! But like I said the unit is running fine just no control !

Hope all have a great day !

Good Afternoon,

scott_, it just doesn't get better than that! Grand kids love the mower rides!

TBS, yes absolutely! They had a ball, although I never have the mower deck running while giving rides !
Grand daughter Olivia really liked it, had to give her 2 rides !

Good Morning Everyone,

A few days go by, and I'm a dozen pages behind I hope all is well. We are into Spring now, which is great.

I decided to "follow" a bunch of you in the GM crowd, so that I can try to keep up on things a bit better.

Anyways, nothing new here yet in my world, mostly still working in my home office (taxes, bookkeeping) and on the Buy-Out plans with my Ex, and waiting for an appt with lawyers. I have to Trust God in His timing that everything will work out and settle. I need to secure the house in my name (separation details) before I can really make any ongoing plans (barn, fencing, fresh flock of chickens, pigs etc). Thank you for the prayers.

Almost bought an old tractor last week - described as a '91 Case B10 (doesn't exist ???) $700. Went to check it out ... it is a 1958-59 Case 610B - not what I was after, even for an old machine. The guy really had no idea. Oh well, I had nothing to tow it home with anyways.

Planning to buy a small used suv car so that I can go see my kids, grandsons, friends. Hopefully soon.

Have a good day

When I got home started on MMMower. Greased all the fittings and check out in gearbox. Sharpened blades. Then mounted it on tractor. Took it for a couple of trips around back field. It did it job good.

Glad to hear the mower is good to go. It will get a few good work outs I'm sure. The squirrel and duck look to be sizing each other up. Maybe a territory squabble coming up?

Ken, will do ! Watching a pre tapped Buffet concert tonite, we always used to go to the Buffet concerts at Jones Beach ! Going to visit some wineries on the north fork tomorrow, dinner out Saturday evening along with a show, and return ferry ride on Sunday ! Will take some pics and post !

Absolutely! Our 'tiny tornado' loves to ride on the mower but I never have the blades engaged. She loves to sit on the TLB too.

Have fun and enjoy the "long weekend in Long Island"! Maybe you will have some F. Scott Fitzgerald type stories for us after that.

Good luck on the car shopping! Hopefully you can find something usable and reasonable.

 

[scaredychicken]

Thanks t_b_s. I have a possible lead on something, cheap, higher mileage, and I was the previous owner. Might serve me for a year or two. Friend says that it is good to go on roadtrips, so I'm okay with that.

Another great beautiful day in God's Country! Chamber of Commerce weather again today. A few things outside done this morning and came in to make some calls and check in here and emails.

Two_bit nice looking meat, who staitened who out? Inquiring minds want to know

We decided we absolutely agree on more than we disagree on. Which is a welcome thing. Nobody got 'set straight' but we had some good BBQ.

Yesterday definitely kept me busy. Made a lot of progress on the plasma table, still a lot more to do today.

I bet you will have that table in full service in no time. Looking great!

Still can do that.
Tried to drill large rock behind the barn. Discovered the only SDX Max bits I have are the core bits. Others are smaller.

Feathers and wedges?
What kind of SDS Max driver do you have. I only have SDSPlus. The guy who put in my neighbors fence used a Bosch SDSMax with the shovel bit to break through the limestone rock we have. It was surprisingly effective. But not just one rock, a lot of them.

Hope everyone stays well and eats well today. Take a nap if you need it and Pray for our Nation!

Sounds perfect! Hope it works out!

 

[daugen]

got most of the flower gardens planted as well as marigolds between bush beans.
Beans and cukes loving this sun but I think soil is still a little cold for them.
still have to thin the lettuce.
I hate to throw the extras away, will try to plant them somewhere.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

dermatolgy called back, said they book appointments a year out. but then said, we have a cancellation for tomorrow morning, so I took it. My first time ever going to one.
Pebbles giving me a good licking now.
Found a mouse behind the front porch glider. Thanks Snagglepuss. I need to pressure wash the mouse remains she has left there.
Still no rain, was supposed to start 11 am. i felt some misting when i was out working this morning, then after packing everything up the sun came out for awhile.
ordered a bit for the drill.
paid most of the monthly bills today. Now have them all set for online payments.

Light rain has started. Very breezy. Tornado watch at dad’s house.
He had an eye procedure today, sort of like cataract removal.

60F, very wet, with light rain @ 16:00, heading down to around 45F for the low overnight.

Rainfall total since midnight: 2.08" ...

That's in addition to the 0.68" we got yesterday ... and the 0.19" the day before.

A Flood Watch has been issued.

Will be a long time before any mowing gets done around here ...

Checked all the house plants with the moisture meter yesterday, watered all of them that needed it.

Then made up some potting mix using screened compost, perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss and started filling 3" growers pots for the redbud seeds.

Got 36 redbud seeds planted in 36 pots and watered in:

Still have >dozen redbud seeds left. Will probably just toss them, as they are the smaller seeds which tend to have a lower germination rate.

Hose sprayer in the kitchen sink was almost completely clogged up from mineral deposits so I took it off and let it soak in some vinegar for a while after brushing it off and then reinstalled it.

Flow now restored ...

28 (of 72) of the pepper seeds have sprouted ...

And tomatoes continue looking very good, tallest are now better than 3" tall:

Need to dole another week's worth of meds today.

Woman decided She needs some items off Amazon and sent me some links. Will get those added to the cart and the order placed.

Probably work on getting cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli seeds replanted for those that failed.

Do some clean up in kitchen and probably garage.

Otherwise see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent Thursday ...

Light rain has started. Very breezy. Tornado watch at dad’s house.

Yeah ... I just saw the radar returns for down there on the evening news ... looked nasty.

He had an eye procedure today, sort of like cataract removal.

Hope it turns out well for him ...

 

[rswyan]

60 going to 75. Maybe a shower...hope so to wash off the pollen. Really thick

The sneezing has started here.

RS, that peach tree looks good. Hope you get a couple off of it.

Thanks !

Our apples just started blooming.

Hopefully you guys will have a bumper crop this year.

I topped off my front axle, too. Second time I've done that since changing the fluid and it takes about .25 liter each time. It's not leaking, just takes that long to settle, and I guess, get the air bubbles out.

Keep those seals wet and the pivot joints clean ...

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Not enough rain to even register on the station.
And they dropped the tornado watch in Ohio a couple hours early.
