Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

Fixed a sticking door on oldest son's room, wife been after me to get that done. Then I mowed. after that just pay some bills.

 

[daugen]

lawn mowed, plants watered, rv fridge cleaned out and turned off.
I forgot I brought home fresh snap peas from the Amish market, they I will have for dinner.
I'd make a BLT tonight but no tomato, will save the fancy bacon for tomorrow night.
pretty sure it's not processed so it can't sit too long in fridge.

needed to sit and stop sweating. Nothing on calendar for tomorrow so what had to get done got done.
Now I need to order a new screen door for this house.

looked hard for cukes, saw none hiding, dozens of yellow flowers
first tiny pattipan squash and yellow squash starting to form.

Afternoon all!
High 70's today and higher temps and humidity tomorrow!
Looks like heavy downpours for Friday and Saturday.
Made sure I got all the lawn mowed and trimmed today. Doctors appointment tomorrow so that pretty much kills the day.
Been on a pipe making kick lately after watching a wizard film. Here are the first 4 I've ever made.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

79 nice day

Installed the new Speed Queen dryer. Did not realize it needed a water connection so had to go get a Y and hoses to add it into the cold water side. Also missing the strain relief for the old cable so had to get that. But is hooked up and ready. One benefit of local supply was they will take the old one for free so dropped that off. Used the bucket to lift it and a couple of boards. Doing by myself was not comfortable using the pallet forks close to the van. They can do a lot of damage and with my limited depth vision not a good idea.


Went up to the vegetable market and picked up 60 dollars of fresh stuff in season. Also picked up groceries at the curb. Interesting they did not charge me as of yet. Should have been about 300 dollars and it shows up in Email later and also the credit card shows up in a text. Maybe they will catch it later? Gave them a 20 dollar tip


Went out in the field and picked up empty tree shelters and broken stakes and cleared the ones that will need new stakes
That was maybe 20 percent of the new plantings so it will continue for a while to finish

Spent some time on the phone with D. She wanted to brief us on her latest plans. Busy as ever and preparing for her next overseas trip.

forgot to add the picture

 

[daugen]

ordered my new storm door, already confirmed at local Home Depot, Anderson 200, economy version but at least
name brand. A friend with a big pickup is going to meet me at HD tomorrow morning and we will bring it home.
then the fun part begins
last one rotted out because installer never put in caulk bead on top edge, allowing the water to run inside and rot the wood.
we will have lots and lots of caulk

What does it use the water for?

It is steam cycle to take out wrinkles

home sweet home
easy ride home, despite 40 minutes parked on route 30 for some issue, nothing there when we finally
got speed back
lots to do but just going to pace myself

like you Bill, pace yourself...
Bill, with the exception of your minimally dressed times,
do you carry a phone with you at all times?
we are in the same boat, medical conditions and living alone
I even take my phone down to the basement with the wash, in case I do a header
one hand always on the rail
learned that in boating a long time ago

This time obeyed the nice lady in the dash and took the turnpike to 309 North
and got off on 202. It's all redone roads now, 202 is a 45 and often slow but smooth as can be.
I won't go over 50 on it and that produces a huge line of cars behind me that I regret.

My phone is beside me most of the time except when I go to the sand box (you know, where the cats go to poop) and the kitchen. Junior is almost always here except when he goes to town for grub or to the mail box.

If you want rough concrete roads, try the perimeter road around Winnipeg, Manitoba. A joint every 50'. The steer axle and drives get it and then the trailer tandems get it and back to the steer and drives. Just a nightmare.

I have a 15" 'Gandalf' pipe I smoke hash in, cool smoke. Easy draw after I took both filters out.

Today was around 80 and sunny. Nice day. Too bad the humidity is gonna start ramping up.

Wife went hiking tonight at the beach and sent me this Pic.

Bambi is hungry, maybe it will stick around until fall/winter.

 

[Joel/ak]

She also ran into this guy

I'm just amazed how many folks who live here are surprised by the amount of wildlife that can be found along the shores of lake Michigan.....

Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of -1.2C and it's presently 8.5C (heading to 13C), clear and calm.

Got the wrapping paper at the grocery store, yesterday. So I'll finish the wrapping and head into the PO this arvo.

That's about it, take care all.

My pipe tobacco brand is "Erinmore Mixture". I use a "Falcon" pipe with a detachable bowl.

Coffee is brewing. 65° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 87° with possibility of thunderstorm. Neighbor is doing good. She has a crack in the Fibula. Doing good just has to stay off leg for at least 2 weeks. May help out with doing her grass mowing. I am off to Dr appointment for my foot problems this morning. Will do grocery shopping tomorrow.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.
