Good Afternoon,
Anna Maria Island, we arrived to our building under renovation! Kathleen is not happy, she called the owner and he can’t give us a better condo to stay at until next Wednesday! Our friends should arrive here in an hour or so, hopefully we can figure out what to do ! Our windows are covered in plastic and scaffolding all around ! Not good !

Sorry you had this experience scott! Hope they make it right!

Good morning, the low is 55 and going to a high of 59°F. Wind SSW 15 mph. Showers.

If I want 'winter' fuel in my big tank I will have to wait until next November. Which I will. That will give me time to build up a credit with the new supplier. Getting paid weekly makes it so much easier to do this. A couple of hundred every week. I still have a $1800.oo credit with the current supplier which I found out buys whatever is cheapest. So I will burn down the current supplier for the house augmented with the new supplier out of the 500. Eventually I will be burning the new stuff exclusively.
It only sounds complicated, it isn't really.

The rain came down in buckets this morning at about 2 A.M. So hard that it woke me up with its' pounding on my steel roof.
My BH got washed.

Nothing planned for today, so I will probably go back to bed at about 6 A.M. or so and sleep til noonish.

Have a safe day all

Coffee is cooling in cup. 59° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 76° with rain and thunderstorms. Shop and barn have been cleaned. It was a nice warm day. Sat out on enclosed porch and enjoyed the afternoon warmth. No plans for today yet. May watch some NASCAR.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

good morning all
nice warm day today, 52 going to 82
am off to church this morning, then will come home to change and do some planting
that has been waiting for warmer temps
feeling pretty good this morning.

was nice to hear from Paul/PJS.
Now to make sure Ted in NM is doing ok.

 

[wngsprd]

55 going to 85, 90 tomorrow? Got less than 0.1 in of rain yesterday, but stayed drizzly most of the day.

BEF, thanks for the Ellicott City pix and update. Gravity and water are so powerful. Geologists say the Blue Ridge used to be taller than the Rocky mountains...erosion takes its toll.

Scott, bummer on your place under construction.

Yesterday was the first day the litter of puppies were old enough "to have company"...too early to pick, so we played with all 10. Fun. Liked them all. Took " a thousand" pix. I could tell we've been out of the "dogs make you happy" world too long. Then off to do some shopping and meal at our favorite Chinese restaurant.

 

[mpham]

Morning all!
Currently 42 going to our first over 70 of the season.
Celebrated my inlaws 65th anniversary yesterday with a cookout.
Did some work at my cousin's place this week. Designed a stairway for his deck project and got the materials ordered. Depending on the weather might start the install next Saturday.
Mostly puttered around outside this week. To wet to get things done outside. Did get the oil changed in the nephew's car and put all the winter items for the tractor on pallets. Moved most of them out behind the storage building so they will be out of site for the summer.
Spent time in the shop getting things rearranged to hopefully be able to clean up easier. Not sure if I posted this project or not. The whole thing including the hat is made by me out of maple. All turned on the lathe.

Taking it easy today with just a few visits to do. Time for another coffee.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Phil, you have a wonderful talent with wood.

Good Morning
It’s 50° with a high of 78 on tap for today. Partly cloudy with little chance of rain.

Yesterday went by pretty quickly, started off taking care of the daughter, who is very low maintenance, her dogs which are a bit more demanding. Zoe and I went for a walk around the farm, then it was time for a pretty productive Fusion get together with my friend with the laser cutter for balsa. I got the answers to some things I was struggling with, and was able to show him some things on the CAM side.

Then it was time for grandsons party with a batch of his 4 year old peers.

The bounce house was a big hit, they had enough food setup in the barn to feed an army. They sent home leftovers with anyone that would take it.

Today youngest son and wife are coming to visit his sister, I told them I’d make waffles from scratch for breakfast for everyone (except my wife, she’s already gone to the farmers market).

After that I want to try and cut a piece of aluminum on the plasma table, maybe wander over to the RC club field if it’s not windy. Then just take it easy.

 

[Thomas]

45F partly cloudy day maybe low 70's for high...taste of t shirt weather.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...quick trip to HD for stain afterwards stains some boards from winter wear,afternoon putter check game cams might watch some NASCAR.

Enjoy your day all.

Good Morning,
Anna Maria Island, Fl. 68 going to 82 with partial clouds !

Went to the beautiful beach yesterday evening and we were rewarded with a spectacular sunset !

Checked Nest Box No. 2 on the way back down to the house. Five Bluebird eggs …

RS, I can’t tell you how many years I have been building a couple of blue bird houses ! Still haven’t done it yet ! What a beautiful bird they are ! Also would be a good project to do with the grandsons when they are a bit older !

I own one place and it is this place. There is no place like this place anyplace, so this must be the place.

Bill, I feel the same way about our Vermont home and property! Can’t tell you the feeling out bush hogging the field on a beautiful fall day !

Phil, talk about an innovative idea, and beautifully executed! Kudos to you my friend ! Gives me inspiration to get back into the wood shop to create !

Hope all have a blessed and beautiful day today !

What is your winter fuel up there? Does your supplier blend it #2 and #1 or is it just additives?
I blend my own as that usually ends up being less costly, this past winter was very mild and I was likely over blended at around 60% #2 and 40% #1 with an anti gell at the high dose rate.

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning Lou,
We sometimes use a product called Hot ! It prevents the oil from gelling in outside tanks !

Good Morning Lou,

I'm not familiar with a product called Hot, unless it's one of the Hot Shots additives. I used a Lucas product this year in my blended fuel and this winter had no issues but with it being such a mild winter it wasn't much of a test of it.
