Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Coffee is brewing. 41° with mostly cloudy skies. Heading to 49° with mostly cloudy skies. Got house chores done. Still need to put laundry away. Will get that done today. Will go to local pharmacy to get my Flu Shot later today.
Morning Stretch.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[ronjhall]

Scotty, sorry for your loss of Ginty.

 

[Thomas]

Peaceful rest Ginty.

 

[Thomas]

35F cloudy day slight chance may reach 50F.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Didn't plan doing too much yesterday after doing this and that also cooking dinner... from Mrs...more than a putter day.

Plans for today...8 hours at part store afterwards put up tire swing for Boo.

Enjoy your day all.

 

[wngsprd]

46 going to 60...chance of a small shower.

Scotty, sorry about Ginty. Pets are special.

BEF, that rocket returning and getting grabbed was unbelievable. I heard Musk said it was science fiction without the fiction. I didn't mow yesterday because of the wind. I do that sometimes, but just didn't have it in me.

Ken, that $80 pumpkin must have had some gold in it, right? You may have more ash trees to clear out, but it's really looking good with that sunset.

Ron, we need to get flu shots, too...we get them at Costco, so next time we plan a shopping trip.

Coffee was getting low, so roasted 3 batches yesterday...one from Costa Rica, one from Java and one from Sulawesi. Drinking the Sulawesi now, very smooth. Wife returned from babysitting at son's last night.

Plow, how is Rigby getting along?

No plans for today just putter around and watch the leaves fall.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

good morning all from the Atchafalaya Swamp in Louisiana.
Very quiet night, no alligators chomping on my tires

Thomas you'd better make it a strong chain for Boo's swing.
would be fun to get a pic of him playing on it

heading out this morning over the Mississippi bridge at Baton Rouge.
wondering how backed up that will be, not many bridges over the River there.
Past Plaquemine and then route 10 takes me right into NO near the campground at edge of Lake Pontchartrain.

two days surrounded by boats, this should be fun. Friend's brother who lives in Northern Louisiana told my friend to tell me not to take rv downtown, it's crazy to drive there. Yup, no intentions, part of appeal of this campground is easy on and off.

Stopping at Walmart in Baton Rouge on way to pick up something for kitchen.
then headed into NO. Likely to be distracted by all the boats and will simply walk docks this afternoon. But maybe I might Uber in for an early dinner.
I hope to take a lot of pics today

thanks for ideas on places to eat. I'll plot them on a map later today and see what is close. I have already picked a few out. Have to get my boudin, poorboy and gumbo. Though when I look at what goes into boudin, I think I may ask some questions first.
so many signs along the way advertising boudin and cracklings.
somehow this doesn't sound like heart healthy food...

Louisiana is an interesting place wonderful food the French Quarter was a fascination to me spent many hours there only one drink just enjoyed the music. Was a fabulous Restaurant on lake Ponchtrain sp best food ever wife and I ate there haven’t been there in years sold a lot of product there.

47 high in 50s heat running breezy our first shot of cold weather but will warm back up. No rain in sight for foreseeable future. Forest will put on show shortly

Hope Tom Cat shows up L4N

Prayers for all our Country Appalachia Florida

Good Morning,
Ct, 36 to start going to 55 maybe !

We took two of the grands overnight so the parents could get some sleep ! Trying to get them ready for preschool and also feed them breakfast is an adventure!

Scott, every time you mention Gintys' name he is alive in your heart. You will see him again at the rainbow bridge.

GM Bill, hoping your big Tom comes back home soon !
Yes they are always in your heart !

Maybe some final garden cleanup for today ! After that I’m not sure ! Hope all have a great Tuesday !

don't know age of google picture but the building next to the Travelift
sure had a bad day.
stuff pulled out suggest a fire deep inside
Don, cause of loss? (he's trained in this)

good morning, 40 going to 56 cloudy

Saw a few drips of oil under the van. I am thinking the smell is not an exhaust leak but oil dripping on the hot exhaust pipes. Need to get under there and check it out later today

Picked up some more firewood and stacked a few tractor bucket loads. Hopefully will be able to do some more of that today.

Made a chart for the beam raising with several measuring points. Will update weekly as the jack screws are turned.

Mostly, yes the tire ballast, cast iron wheel hub, and 2 cast iron disks on the wheels as well as turning the wheels for a wider stance has all helped the stability

D made it to Tokyo. Customs processing went on for hours she said it was wild

 

[Buppies]

Drew next time we talk ask me about Harry Layne. Scotty sounds like your hands are full

 

[riptides]

44 outside this AM. may get into the upper 50's.

Did not get to mowing yesterday, needed to run out and get food stocks.

Lifted a paintbrush to do some doors on my stalled Milk House project. That did not last too long.

Another up and down day in the books for the alligators. I think we are on three weeks now.....
My sinuses seem to be a lot better this AM. No box of tissues needed, thus far.

Hope all have a good day. Be safe.

Good morning, the low is 34 and going to a high of 43°F. Wind NW 9 mph. 70% chance of showers or flurries.

Trucking up here a 14 hour day is normal and the max we can do legally. The job I was working at you can do a pretrip (1 hour) plus 7 hours driving plus 8-10 hours unloading (we got paid for unloading and didn't have to be present) so go to bed. Log it as time in the bunk, then drive 6 hours back to the terminal. = 23 hours paid for, reload and do it all over again. Tar and chip (we call surface treating) was good to me for 20+ years and only 4 months of the year. Good for at least $40,000.oo for the 4 months and that is not counting the room and board at the rate of $70.oo/night X 7 nights a week.

I like to think that my cats that disappear have found a better place to live, but in reality they more than likely became food for either neighbours dogs, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, wolves, eagles, hawks, owls or fishers.

Today I will make the appointment for the 'functional abilities' test to get my license back.

It is raining out, so no outside work today, in fact no work today at all.

Have a safe day all

 

[masseyrider]

I opened my eyes and I wasn't in heaven or hell so GOOD MORNING VIETN... everyone.
40ish to start, rocketing to mid 50s. Clearing sky, low winds.
Good day to do stuff outside.
Unlikely as I have to take care of other things, pay bills etc.
Tomorrow is another day.
Brekky? Haven't had pancakes in so long I can't remember when.
Plan is two.
One is savory. Topped with bacon and a sunny side egg. Salt, pepper and some Frank's because I put that sh__ on everything.
Two is sweet.
Neighbor gave me a jar of cherry preserve made from my cherries. Really nice, not too sweet.
Putter, putter, putter... you would think I was a golfer.
Good day all.

 

[Looking4new]

rip, I have found in the past that a vicks inhaler works good for drying up a drippy nose.

 

[m7040]

Yes, I remember it.

Thanks, that was a really serious chemical accident from a cloud of ammonia gas. Wife was extremely lucky to have missed it by a hair

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 43 going to 60 and cloudy, dry
Had a problem with my right eye yesterday again, went to Dr. and it seems I have some tear in the jelly part, but not the retina, so shouldn't be a big deal. Need to set up a visit to a retina specialist just to confirm.

Sorry about Ginty Scotty, if only pets lived longer.

Didn't get much down yesterday with the eyes dilated. But certainly needed less light to see

Be well,

I think my front yard is overgrown

Pebbles is sound asleep on her new cat carrier. She has not been in it yet, and doesn’t know what it is.

 

[Hay Dude]

Good morning!
Loaded up and ready to roll!
