Good morning!!!!

[Thomas]

Quick speedy recovery for your son PJ.

71 going to 88.

PJS, so sorry to hear about the accident. Prayers for your family.

Thomas, good to hear Boo is a music lover.

Got some seat time...picked up and dragged the brush I cut last week over to the tractor bucket and took 3 loads to the brush piles. Got a brief sprinkle that felt good.

Good Evening,
Bill,

It’s a bit cool here tonite ! And my DIL’s along with wife would probably not approve!

No reason why the women can't go skinny dippin' too.

Long recovery road ahead for him, but he's still young, so he'll bounce back just fine. He's already trying to figure out what type of prosthetic will best allow him to ride a motorcycle.

I’m sorry to hear about your son, it’s always tough to say that he is lucky to be alive, when if he was truly lucky he wouldn’t be injured.

I had my own near death motorcycle induced two month hospitalization back in 2019. My family was drawing straws to figure out who was going to tell me that after over 50 years, I was done with street bikes. However I made it easy for them and came to that conclusion on my own after running through my accident scenario endlessly in my head and realizing that there was nothing that I could have done to avoid it other than to have not been on the road where the SUV’s are.

I still have a vintage trials bike that I putter around the farm on, but for me, the risks of a street bike were no longer worth the rewards. I missed far too much living while recovering from the accident.

Good Morning ,
Milford, Ct. 65 to start going to 79, totally overcast this morning ! As nice as yesterday was, today is not but weather is supposed to improve with sun showing later !

Kids were up at the crack of dawn, so that means Nana and Opa are up early also ! Kids are having a ball already,, so we are trying to keep them quiet so the parents can sleep! Unsuccessfully I might add !

No reason why the women can't go skinny dippin' too.

Bill, if by chance my DIL’s went skinny dipping, my wife wouldn’t allow me to watch !

Don, sounds like good improvement! You also sound like a pretty good patient and one that follows directions and does your homework!

Hope to get a walk in later along the beach ! Not much planned at this point !

Hope all have a good start to their Labor Day weekend!

Good morning, the low temperature is 55 and going to a high of 75°F. Wind WSW 2 mph. Sunny!

It rained fairly heavy yesterday afternoon & evening from about 5 P.M. onward. I don't know when it stopped, but it is not raining now.

I might actually get busy and 'do' something today.
Don't hold your breath, though.

Drew, any trucker that uses his Jake brake in a truck stop especially after dark is just branding himself a rookie. The same goes for in town. Doing it in town is why you now see signs at the outskirts of towns that say "NO ENGINE RETARDERS" and "NO JAKE BRAKES". Actually the no Jake brakes sign unless it has the 'r' in a circle after brakes is illegal.'Jake Brake' is a trademarked name the same as Jacobs engine braking systems.
Personally, I like the sound of straight pipes and a barking Jake, but I also know that I am in the minority.

I've got some body work to do before the snow flies and it needs to be done while the temperatures are in the 70s. This week will be a good week to do it.

PJ, are you trying to discourage your son from riding motorcycles after this? If not and he has his heart set on them, then suggest a suicide shift Harley.

Time to get on with my day.

Have a safe Labour Day weekend all

PJS, strong prayers your way. Stay positive. Thank goodness he is ALIVE.

Well said PopG

I too like the sound of engine brakes L4N even on my Ram

71 outside this AM, heading to mid 80's. Grey outside.

Our road is open. Mail came last night at 8PM. A mile or two further south the main roads (two) of them county roads, still closed. Still hearing chain saws. It was a collision of two pretty strong storms over the area. What a mess.

Yesterday was an indoor day after the fuel ran out. I can get to the gas station today for more of everything.

Need to start tending to animals and do some wall work in the Milk House. I'll need some wood ripped for window trim, sometime today. Always fun as I never got a table saw. LOL. I do it the hard way.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

PJ, I am also sorry to hear about your son's accident.

I went through a motorcycle accident also back when I was about your son's age. It was body casts and lots of time in hospitals but recovered with lots of screws and bits holding me together. There was nothing I could have done to prevent the accident other than not being there.
During the long recovery I decided to pursue an engineering degree so it literally changed my life.

Hope that your son will recover quickly.
