Good Morning
64° and forecast to gain about 20° by 5pm. Partly cloudy throughout the day.

Yesterday didn’t follow any plan.
I ordered 2000 feet of hePEX for the radiant heat, and some fittings to pressure test it once it’s installed.
Neighbor with the tractor that I was going to charge the AC on, brought me a welding project instead. He broke a piece on the implement that lifts the plastic mulch that he uses for the rows of pumpkins. It was a pretty ugly break, he didn’t want to take the time to repair it properly, but we got it back together. I suspect that I haven’t seen the last of it though.
Helped oldest son assemble new patio furniture and watched grandson frolic in the semi arctic pool for a while.

Got out the pressure washer and foam cannon to wash mine and my daughter’s cars.

Certainly didn’t do a detail quality job, just soaped them up, hit them with a long handled truck brush, rinsed and chamois’d with the Stihl blower. But they were shiny with no signs of pollen or bird poop when I was done.

Today we’re going out to breakfast again, this time youngest sone and wife are coming as well. After that the boys are coming over to play music around 11, as we didn’t get together on Friday evening. Maybe after that, I’ll visit the little plane, or get some RC planes out.

good morning, heavy rain storm yesterday late afternoon, all watered now and very timely after seeding and planting. Nice day today

Took the splitter out at the barn to split a stash of oversized firewood and made good progress before tripping and somehow got back the balance however found out how hot a muffler can be and got burnt on the palm of the hand. Turns out there was a hole in the glove. Brought back memories of how painful burns can be

USPS has sent 5 emails today that they are going to deliver an Amazon package to me on Tuesday, they emailed 4 times yesterday. Package was due yesterday, maybe they need to concentrate on delivering mail instead of emails.

I got a USPS package yesterday. Must have gotten 10 emails about its delivery. It was scheduled for delivery on 5/29. Good part is it arrived 4 days early. 🤗🤠

70 and fog lifting, but cloudy. Heading to 88. Nice T-storm early this am.

Buppies, I mowed yesterday...I only have half the area down to correct height.

I managed to split the remainder of my rounds, now that the phoebes fledged and gave me my shelter back for a short while before nesting #2 starts. My splitter started in half a pull...a new record...of course, I don't think I ever tried to start it when the temp was in the 80s before. I wasn't even trying to start it...just feed a little gas from the previously run-dry tank to the carb...it jumped at the chance to get going...but then was sluggish as the old gas didn't provide enough energy.

We are mowing five acres of grass she mows on EX Mark me on Toro which is mulching deck hence more mowing when grass is too tall. She has 2.5 more hp I can never catch up.

Fritz, OUCH, sorry.

back from shopping, so far a nice day out

made plans to go see friends in Lancaster second week in June for a few days.
Looking forward to doing some more shopping in the Central Market.

think it's time I washed the car instead of just squirting it off.
that pollen sure is sticky

Morning all, 76 going to 82 and sunny.
More work on pool, now in good shape for use :)
Started upper deck PW and water hit the outlet on lower deck tripping breaker.
Waited for outlet to dry and just took a break instead, will do upper deck later.

Ordered new cable for pool cleaner. $180 is cheaper than a new one. 7 years in and so far doing well.

Wow Don, bidding wars - good deal!

Started to rain hard, ran out and closed the pool house windows, got back into the house and rain stopped :cool: a little late night run.

M7040 hope you iced the hand-hate burns.

Pool time?

Be well,

Premethrin took care of the sawyer offspring and pine is very happy now

Good Morning,
Vt, 58 to start going to 77 or do ! Another sunny day, some high clouds but not too bad !

Today will take the whole crew out on the lake. They just went to the children’s museum in Rutland for a couple of hours !

I need to make a dump run this morning, this crew produces a lot of garbage!

Dennis, I just thought the Ranger was the right tool for going up and down 800 ft of DW !

Ken, nice shot of the pool !

Don, congrats on the bidding war, that’s a good place to be ! 👍

Ron, nice cardinal pic this morning!
L4N, glad to see your improving daily !
Hope all have a good day !

Maybe they are proud that they found one and can deliver it! 😀

75F and sunny today. Going to troubleshoot the pasture irrigation. I flooded the lines with water, but only half of the sprinklers work. When I tried to open a sprinkler on the "other" side, it went whoosh and sucked air in. ???? Definitely something is not right!

Here's a puppy pix from yesterday's visit. They are 5 weeks old. I sat down and a few came over, curled up, and went to sleep.

Everyone have a great day !!!

65°F and .27 inches rain.

Sophie’s BX back in service, a few more hours mowing on the meter. I did learn something. The drive over, mid mount mower, take it off to change the blades. Thought I could manage by just elevating. Nope. Couldn’t get the middle blade torqued tight. No way to grasp the spindle that I found. So my attempt to save time failed as I had to remove anyway. Actually fairly easy and with the FEL, just flip up in place.
Cut like it was new.

Intend to finish mowing that area today.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Good morning! Low was 50°, heading to 78° this afternoon. The wind finally stopped gusting around 22:00 last night. Breezy this morning at 15-20 mph. Tomorrow is supposed to be very nice.

Mostly, that was about 2.5 years of sludge accumulation. Didn't think that much would accumulate, can't really see the bottom of the last lower section..... out of sight -- out of mind. It will get annual cleanings this point forward.....

Fritz, sorry to hear about the burn. Hopefully not too painful now.

Don, with all those available houses, your's must have been exquisite to sell so fast! And priced right too!

Glad I don't have to was off oodles of pollen out here.... I guess the wind keeps it at bay. If you touch a tree, it poofs all over, but nothing on the vehicles or stuff outside. We just get dirt......😖

Plowhog, those pups are adorable. You have to be getting excited by now... only a few weeks to go...

David, glad you got the blades changed. Hate it when a plan to save time works the opposite. Next time you will know better and it will easy....o_O:unsure:

L4N, don't push it too hard yet.... little steps... You don't want to visit the hospital again....

Paul, isn't it amazing how the little ones will tolerate cold pools? I remember our little ones shivering with blueish lips but still wanting to remain in the water.....

Scott, have fun out on the lake! I bet that water is COLD!🥶

Nothing really on the agenda for today.... we were planning to transplant some lilacs, but will wait for the wind to die down tomorrow. Some piddling around will do.... I'm sure I can get into something.....

Everyone have a great day!
