Good Evening Thomas,
Had a nice cigar with a good friend this afternoon and washed it down with a cold beer ! Hadn’t had a good cigar in awhile, so it was a nice treat !

Enjoy your evening!

Good evening. Temps still mid 70's. Dropped the kid off at roller rink (yes, we still have one.)

Ran to the property to cut up the logs we had staged along our road from my post above.

Good wood.

Grabbed some other logs that were available also.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Got the LT180 fuel tank's pickup tube repaired. It could use a new battery.....maybe next time. Easy enough to jump it with spare battery in barn.

Used it to mow close to house, and in some tight spots that the Steiner beast doesn't fit easily.

May have found 14 yo son a job nearby...Hoping it pans out.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 60° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 81° with cloudy skies. Got pond cleaned up yesterday. Then did some cleanup with flail on open areas in woods next to house. Helped a neighbor remove 2 tree stumps in middle of his yard. He helped me put backhoe on tractor. 3 hours later we were filling holes back in. They were larger stumps than I normally would dig out with my size tractor. Going to be a lay back and enjoy some summer time weather on back porch. Some NASCAR while out there.
Today is July Full Buck Moon.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Even better!

66 going to 90.

Joel, nice job on that firewood...cool that your daughter sell it.

Kyle, cake looks real tasty. Hope the job works out for your son...earning real money at 14 is a special feeling.

Sprinkled all day yesterday, so never got a good rain, but nearby folks did, so glad for that. Wet kept me from doing outside chores, so roasted 3 batches of coffee and watched a little baseball. Took Della for a hike in the light rain, because we both love it.

 

[ronjhall]

Let neighbor run BH for a few minutes while I took a picture of stump removal.

Good morning all,
62° now highs in the mid 80’s and mix of sun/clouds today. Dew point 60° and supposed to stay low 60’s all day. Winds WNW 5-10 mph.

Yesterday was another productive day, all the trimming is done and a fair amount of weeding got done. The weather guessers missed on the “cloudy” day, mostly sunny all day.

Outside to water when I make a new coffee and I think today is going to be a putter around day. If my ambition returns maybe some more weeding.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

good Sunday morning all
should be a nice day today, sunny and not too hot
lots going on after lunch, one friend coming to help me with getting the new table into rv and
fixing a wood trim area elsewhere. Then another friend comes with truck, trailer and Kubota LX to push some
leaf and brush piles on back edge of my lawn further into the woods. Then we head over to another friend's and move
a pile of dirt for her. If I can't have a tractor of my own, sure good to have a friend with one who loves to use it.

sad story in Wunderground.
July has been so hot that one child has died every other day due to being left in hot cars.

now when I go through parking lots, I kind of look around to see if any kids in cars...
oh but I was only going to be a minute....

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 53 and going to a high of 75°F. Wind NNE 7 mph. Sunny!

The plan is to get after the hut today. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen.

Ron, a big track hoe would have a bit of trouble with that stump.
I dosed my two big stumps with Epsom salts (only because since 9/11 I cannot get salt peter). SP is the best for rotting down stumps. The other alternative that works better is dynamite, but not that close to the house and septic system.

When I get bored with you tube I go used car shopping. Found a used 1937 Packard Phaeton fully restored, only $337,000.oo U.S. (A little over 500 grand by the time you add exchange and sales tax [not sure what other duties would be added at customs]). It is nice to drool every so often.

Drew, idiots that leave their kids in the car on hot days should be charged with child endangerment and sentenced to 10 years in prison AND sterilized.

Have a safe day all

Friend found a 52 pickup in a barn, bought it for $2k and it runs, and is in great shape. Some people have all the luck.

 

[Buppies]

Prayers for all silent or spoken our Country

Wish I could have been so lucky BEF

Ford, Chevy or International?

if you want to kill time on a too hot day, a trip to Hemmings online is great fun.
not too many 2000 dollar trucks there.

two big issues for me. Is it new enough for an airbag, and what happens if that early airbag goes off?
Will it take my head off with it? Could I replace the airbag with something modern internally?
Second is before or after emissions. Before means you can drop a crate motor in and have lots of fun.
After means you write off most of the 70's and 80's due to smog motors.
But even a smogged up 455 has lots of torque but didn't those cars get 10mpg?

I thought the early Toronados were pretty neat. way too expensive for my family growing up.
We were a 210 and Biscayne Chevy family, always three on the tree and straight six.
But then cars got heavier and newer and Dad had to get my Mother a decent car since she just
hung her law shingle locally. So he got her a silver Olds 88 convertible, the cheapest one with, again, a three on
the tree. Probably the last one ever made. Automatics finally came in on next car.

Nicest car he ever got for her was a dark green Olds 98 convertible, with the 455/370 motor in it.
It was really large and not so easy to park for a young guy who got to borrow it for special dates.
And then in the pouring rain I spun out in a river of water coming off a steep hill in Lambertville,, taking
my date home. I've told this story but this was when she thought she would help by grabbing wheel and pulling on it.
Meanwhile I should have been steering the other way, so around like a tea cup that massive car went.
as I thought this was the end of my life. A gentle stop into a very very large stone wall took out the headlight and some chrome.
oh dear I am so you know what

I rode the school bus a long time after that.

 

[plowhog]

RNG, nice Commando.

Agreed. I don't recall ever seeing a Norton Commando with a fairing but it looks very nice!

Headed back to 100F today. Lots of 100F days this year which is unusual since it is only July. At least it's a dry heat. I sympathize with those who have high heat and high humidity. Been in that while traveling and the humidity makes it difficult.

Everyone have a great day!!!

 

[Thomas]

61F partly cloudy sky might reach 80F...need some rain soon.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...mow side field mow places front field where it dry,putter watch some NASCAR yup slow motion day.

Enjoy your day all.
