58 outside this AM, heading to mid 70's. Actually...cool.

Was a road trip weekend. Moved stuff around two households, heading towards a third, tomorrow. Spending way too much time driving, but no other options.

Hope all have a good week, short as it is.

47 deg this morning, chilly out there.
Got space cleared around my Geo unit, guy supposed to come today to install new TXV valve, finally.....
I see Big Boy is spending the night in Omaha NE, and tomorrow travels to Boone IO. Drew, you might be able to pass it tomorrow if you hurry north. Bigboy will be in TX in October, with a 2 week layover in Hearne (9/19-10/4).

Morning all, 55 going up to 76 and sunny.
Planted new peach tree.

Spent most of the morning moving the cherry tree trunk parts and then splitting enough Ash to half fill the racks. Still more to go. Then off to dog walk after wife finished working for the day.

TxDon - glad your progressing so well

Happy anniversary PJS

Back to the day job.

Be well,

New tree

Dennis, it's funny, I'm my own train too, on a schedule of reservations.
But if I was anywhere near it, and could park, I would get the good camera out for that one. I love trains. Grew up with a Lionel in the basement.

Scott, sounds like a wonderful time
He was rough housing with his cousin, fell off the couch and hit his head on the coffee table ! 😒
ouch

I have always kidded my next older brother that he got his first (and only)
reckless driving ticket when he was pushing the grocery cart in the little
New Hope Co-op food store, 1956 I believe, and I was holding on for dear life on the side, guessing ages 8 and 6. He took one corner too fast and off I flew.
Landed on a big area of glass coke bottle returns, all these bottles standing
upright on floor in a corner. And I landed on them and one punched a bottle top sized hole in right thigh I wear the scar to today.
boys will be boys, you just hope the dents are little ones

good morning! overcast, 75 heading to upper 80s, % of rain will increase this afternoon. only got .02" yesterday, if it does not rain more today will have to put hose in the pool. pool water temp is 84.
some soreness yesterday, had to take 1 pain pill but nothing like the knee when I had to take 8 a day.
PT is coming early afternoon. on the knee motion was stressed but on the shoulder stability is stressed.
after 2 weeks in a padded sling I will be so ready to get rid of it.

Good morning. 60°F or so, going up a little more this afternoon. Weather is going to be quite nice for the next few days.

Got all the watercraft out of the lake and floated the docs out away from shore. Very early to do this, but I have my knee surgery coming up and I wanted everything to be buttoned up for the winter now.

Knee surgery was supposed to be September 18, but I have another procedure first, and so the knee surgery had to be put off until I don’t know when. (Waiting for a new date.)

Classes start tomorrow, so it is back to the old grind. Fortunately, I am teaching online, which makes things a lot easier rather than having to travel around campus with bum knees.

Had a nice Labor Day weekend, busy with lots of stuff. However, the basement ceiling is now completely done, and looks great!

Have a nice day, everyone!

Repair guy evacuated the Freon and it came up well short. So he put nitrogen in, and says the evaporator coil is leaking. So might need new unit. He will price new coil.

I just got a quote from my original geothermal supplier for a new, exact same unit. they have it in stock. That's my back up plan. the repair guy gave a wag at about double that price to put in a split air based system.
