Good morning!!!!

Good Morning,
Ct, 68 to start going to 83 with finally sunny skies for a change ! That was one wet week for sure !

Checked the Vt camera this morning, power is still on so should be good to go tomorrow morning !

True, but the price of one glass of wine used to = about a half a retail bottle. Now it's the entire cost.

Randy, the prices are just crazy these days, we often just order a whole bottle than a glass ! You can take a partial bottle home ! So are the food prices !

Bill, I am eager to see your new bike , maybe you can get Junior to take a pic of you heading to town ! Good idea on the SMV plate along with a flashing light or two !

We are supposed to visit with a friend down at the shore this afternoon, so need to get going here !

David, sorry to hear you had to go through all that ! Hopefully you will get it sorted out !

Have a great Saturday!

Good Morning
71° this morning, clear sky with a high of 80 and no rain. A great day for a car show!
That’s a welcome change as we have gotten over 5” in the last 4 days. The drought seems to be over, the green is back in the landscape, mowing needs to be done.

I’ve got to let it dry out a bit before I can mow, I would like to finish up the door for the attic access in the old folks home, and I really need to start the inspection on the little plane, so no shortage of things to do today.

This evening we are going out to dinner at a nice restaurant with all the kids, grandson, and some friends that were with us 50 years ago when we were a couple of hippies getting married at the Friends Meeting House in Southampton, PA.

That should make for a fairly complete day.

we need to find a very cool SMV sign for your trike. Though if you are on a public road, maybe it has
to be of official size and style. how about adding extra lights, perhaps blinking to the rear?
I found a set of LED lights the bicyclists use and zip tied them to hitch of my lawn mower, and then turn them on when
I mow one foot from the street pavement. I wait until no cars are coming but can't see that far down the road.
So I make that one curb pass as fast as i can go.
Dimwits will run right over you, one blew my hat off going by, felt like outside mirror missed my head by about a foot.

pretty sure most of us will slow down if we see some guy mowing right next to the road.
unless he's blowing the grass into the road.
then he gets no slack from me
we have tons of bicyclists and bikers here, add some rain to that mess on road and it's
a bad idea. Blow the stuff inwards, also you don't put a stone in someone's head going by...
Or bag it.
At least blow the first pass inwards.

and if that person along the road has a tractor, pretty sure most of us would slow down to check it out.

I think a big unlettered red flag flying high and blinking lights in rear and perhaps a sign saying
I HAVE A GOOD ATTORNEY
would do nicely.

I like that idea.
I have a couple of ideas but firstly I need a charger like I used to have on a bicycle from the 1950s. At the time most of the bicycle headlights used two 'D' or 'C' cell batteries and then I acquired a charger that fastened onto one of the front forks and could be angled onto the tire to spin and make voltage. The faster you went the brighter the headlight was.
Remember this is an electric tricycle and I don't want to deplete the battery with auxiliary electric robbing accoutrements. I WILL figure something out for extra rear lights.

WHAT!? There are older hippies here? Where is your chartreuse micro bus? You got honorable mention in the Convoy song.

I think a lot of us are products of the sixties and seventies.
kinda amazed I'm still here, particularly after almost losing it four years ago.
could have been in assisted living for rest of my life
and not out here growing tomatoes and beans.

time for Popgadget to dust off his Quaker marriage certificate to celebrate the day.
always sobering to see who isn't here any more.

just gave myself my second weekly Wegovy shot.
not preloaded, only reason I can afford this is because it's all manual.
easy to do, tiny needle.
and then I weighed myself.
geez
gained a pound
not sure where this adventure will take me...

but I can say semiglutide does something to your stomach, or maybe its sensors.
My tank is full light comes on far earlier than before.
and maybe that is the whole idea given the size of portions in our country and why 2/3 of us
are overweight.
I love food. Also inherited depression mentality from grandfather, when you had food, you ate it.
Just like a dog.
So a big portion is put in front of you, well don't want to waste money so you eat it all.
Finally learned to eat half and tupperware/take home the rest.
And I've been good at that, but it didn't work.
too soon to tell if the fat pill works for me. He also said first batch was low dose.
I think they test for negative reactions that way. Before I leave on rv trip, will get enough to take with me in fridge,
and every Saturday morning need to do this and record my weight.

maybe next week it will go down.

good morning, no rain in FC the next few days but we got plenty. Surely needed that, 73 going to 84

The pond did not overflow during the storms

Plan to change the mower blades and mow when the grass dries up

PopG enjoy the day. 50 Years married!!!!

And Cody does not have a care in the world and decided to take another nap after sleeping all night

Popgadget, Happy anniversary to you and your wife

always sobering to see who isn't here any more.

Agreed. My high school class reunion committee sent out a list of my former classmates sorted by living versus deceased. The deceased category was amazingly large.

Still in smoky CA but headed home to NV today. About 65F going to mid-90's, not bad except for smoke.

I'll tow my new Aluma tilt trailer today with the Ventrac on it. Coming from NV, I transported our Jeep Wrangler on it and was pleased how it towed.

Everyone have a great day !!!

Good Morning PopG,
Happy Anniversary, that is certainly a milestone , congratulations!

My parents made it 71 years, I don’t think I have a chance to get close to that number !

Enjoy your day with the family Paul !
