Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 10.4C and it's presently 18.9C, clouding over with on&off wind. There was 7.0mm in the gauge @ 0900.

Very welcome rain last evening and into the wee hours.

The Wine Faeries tempted me, again, with exceptionally priced 'mystery' cases! A$13.50 per bottle... I ordered 2 cases. I have very rarely had a bad bottle from them, maybe 2 in the past 15 years. Mind you, using a "Vinturi" wine aerator improves the taste of almost any bottle of wine.

There's more, predicted, light rain on the way so I'll just putter today.

Oh, and the clocks 'Spring Forward' tonight.

That's about it, take care all.

Wagtail, you remind me, wonder when I leave mountain time to central time heading East

have been studying lunch menu at Big Texan steak house for Sunday's lunch.
Going to have a 9 oz ribeye but I'm stumped on some of these sides:

Sweet Potato (Loaded $2)​

Cowboy Beans​

Texas Fries​

Green Chili Cream Corn​

I've never heard of a loaded sweet potato. Sounds calorie intense...
but what are cowboy beans? Texas Fries?
and is green chili cream corn hot or just mildly hot or guess you have to ask
One side is a salad I will have but what should I go for the Texas experience?
anything healthy here?....

Good evening all. 63ºF for the start, mostly clear sky, light breeze. Light wind, sky remained mostly clear, and high temp was 91ºF. Made coffee to start day, Puttered till A/C guy showed up which was soon. Problem was compressor side of starter condenser. All working fine now. Went for 30 mile bike ride, lunch. pulled sandburrs, nap, and start getting ready for tomorrow's ride in Bonham.
Ron hope you got to mow today. Glad groceries went well. Sedums look good.
Billy thanks for sharing graphic from electric company. Sorry about rate increase. Thanks for hike pics, never seen Parrot on a hike before.
Thomas hope you got your nap.
Phil congrats on another year of retirement. Sounds like you got a lot done. Nice you got some good sleep. Hope you got to shop today.
Buppies hope truck was ready today prayers sent.
Drew hope you are enjoying the cool weather, Texas will be a mite warmer. Sorry to hear about back hurting. Thanks for info on the yellow machine.
Don hope PT went well. Thanks for grocery shelf report. Do you have a place to recycle battery? Have a bunch of Covid tests on the shelf from earlier this year.
Drew nice table fix.
Ken glad pool stuff is stowed. Hope trip to NYC was fruitful. Sorry deer eating the sedum.
Dennis glad you were able to get water, but sorry no TP. Talking heads say TP not affected by dock strike. Hope the relief trucks get there soon.
Paul siding looks great, what do you finish it with? Hope you got the mowing done.
Scott(vt) wow that surcharge is about half your power bill. Hope winter prep goes well.
Buppies sorry about bill increase.
Lou I suspect they started at 5 feet wide and then as new canals were made, making them wider as built.
Ted interesting about PT and the delayed reaction. Hope Costco run went well.
Plowhog last I heard about the vaccine is that you may get Covid but will be less severe than if no vaccine/booster. When I had influenza, was bed ridden for three days, ran fever for a week, was off practice for another week.
Frits hope you find visitor interesting.
Dennis glad you got meds, sorry about to wet to mow. thanks for the then and now pics of canal.
Scott(vt) lock and dam on Mississippi close by at Winfield. Alton and Chain of Rocks. Watch barges go through was involved because normal tow size larger than lock could handle.
Scott(vt) nice Farmall "A"
David sorry about pin. Glad another section mowed. Hope you can sneak pin in without removing mowing deck.
Dennis I have never seen a bag shortage at Walmart! Nice light house, any of them still in use?
Drew glade you made it to Golden. Hope nap helped. Nice pics :) Nice pics of Salida as well :)
Dennis nice landscape crew.
Buppies glad truck back and better than you thought.
Randy(wag) Hope the wine is good. Nice you are getting more rain.
Drew you will have to ask lot of ways to load sweet potato. Texas fries will be hotter than normal fries could have cayenne or jalapeno on them. Cowboy beans will have ham and/or bacon plus other spices, usually not hot. Not sure about Texas salad.
Dew hope you lost weight

Paul siding looks great, what do you finish it with? Hope you got the mowing done.

Thanks, I don’t do anything to it. Just let it weather, it turns grey, but that is just the surface. The key is to get “clear VG heartwood” as opposed to “clear“ or other lesser grades.
The area next to the new siding has been up over 40 years and never been touched. And I did get the mowing done.

Coffee is brewing. 43° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 68° with sunny skies. Got power washer out and cleaned up some porch furniture and flail mower. Put it on its dolly and stored in its corner of barn. Mowed the grass. With help of one neighbor did some more debugging of other neighbors golf cart. Found no ground on motor solenoid. Repaired wiring. Should be ready to get run today. Took diesel and gas cans to station and filled them. Now have enough for another year of seat time. No plans for today yet.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

66 going to 79.

I need to go fill the diesel can, too. Forgot yesterday when we were out, and so only got to mow about half of what I planned using the fuel left in the mower's tank when we got home. Had a nice Tex-Mex meal...with $1 tacos as part of their Taco Day special...free meals to those dressed up in taco costumes, and there were several.

Used my $20 TSC reward to pick up a 2 gallon jug of hydraulic fluid for the splitter, so need to change its oil and fluid today while the grass dries.

Prayers for the flood victims.

hope you all have a nice weekend, leaves turning, getting a little wood split.
