Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

69°F and .1 inches rain.

Nice lunch with BIL yesterday.

Also learned some discouraging news. Expecting a package via UPS. It has arrived in Hilo, but a note said delivery delayed 1 business day due to a mechanical problem. Meaning Monday. Not a problem knowing I’ll be in town I can just swing by and pick up. Do so after lunch and gate is closed and a sign saying Closed Permanently. ??? Already knew they were stopping taking packages such as Amazon returns, but this was a surprise. Now there is no CS at the hub itself.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I went down for a power nap at 9:30 and got up at 12:30, a good power nap. Nothing better to do on a rainy Saturday.

The tire shop was closed and tried another one but they said the rim being 24 inches would not fit the mounting machine. I guess they don't know how to use tire irons. So went back and got the tube out. Found a leak near the valve stem on the tube that is not fixable but patched it anyway to at least drive it into the barn. Blocked it up.

You need a new tube. But then you already knew that, so I am preaching to the choir.
WOW, they get pricey quickly from amazon

You can get glue on valve stems they go on just like a patch.

Afternoon all,
Well it's sure not morning but I procrastinated the morning away and finally got going this afternoon;
Well, this afternoon drove home a bit how much older I am and what I can do.
Had my "shop" resided last year. Got the paint for it but it never got done.
So this afternoon with a reasonable temperature I thought I get some of it done.
So got out my airless sprayer that had only been used once and found it hadn't been cleaned enough when it was put away.
Had tried to run some satin varnish through it, didn't work very well as you couldn't see how much you had applied.
So this afternoon got out 2 gallons of the Cabot penetrating stain I had picked up last year and the sprayer, thought I could get the two side walls done.
Nope, not going to happen it took a couple of hours to get the thing working and flushed out. Then with it working.
I got started, had to use a stepladder to get the eve done and a couple of feet down then I could get it from the ground. Surprise number 2 that damned T1 11 soaked up that stain like there was no tomorrow the dang wall is only 24 feet long and 9 and half feet high but it sucked up 3 gallons of that stain. Only got 3 gallons left,
so I hope to get the other wall tomorrow after the dew gets off everything. Then I'll have to go get more to do the ends, with the walls taking 3 gallons I figure the ends are going to take at least 4 ma6ybe 5 gallons to do so I'll have to get some more and wait for a another spell to do those.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 6.3C and it's presently 13.1C [heading to 18C], mostly cloudy with steady wind.

Yesterday's tree felling only half accomplished as the bloody wind kicked up. But I was able to clear all of the branches and safely drop the split portion of the trunk. I had to sacrifice the smaller tree that it was resting on. So now the trunk felling is all that's left to do this coming week.

As per usual, I'm off to Church in a while (leading the Morning Prayer service) and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.
