Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 42 going to 59 and sunny, dry.
Did some more watering and wandering around waiting for eye to heal.
Setup specialist for eye, hopefully healed by tine I see them.

M7040 - Wow your daughter already doing a lot in Tokyo, I love going there, every neighborhood is totally different and there are 19 major ones. little crime and lots of unusual culture differences.
Shinjuku is my favorite neighborhood as on the weekends it turns into a very large pedestrian area and is like going to a bug block party where everyone just has fun and no crazy people show up.
Like being in a small town for friendliness, but in a big city.

Mostly, my front yard is >4 acres of woods, so that was me trying to be funny. When I lived in NY, one of my neighbors was a neat freak and called me to complain my grass was too high in my 20x15 patch of grass . So I went to cut it and my neighbors husband came over to apologize I had not cut th grass in two weeks as i was traveling.

Harris is in town today so the roads are going to be a mess. We will stay up on our little hill until it's over.
Need to get the dogs nails trimmed and then over to the high school later for a college finance session.

Looks like after tonight will warm up a bit, no sign of rain in 10 day, so more watering.
Water more each day than I did in the last 8 years total.

Be well,

Still some colors in the back area. Amazing that a few years ago you could not see 3 feet into this area. The cleanup is going slowly but well, still a lot of fallen ash to move out. If it wasn't so dry I would have the firepit going every night.

No search parties at the end of the day they close after dark. Sometimes the people get frustrated and walk out where they see the road.

That's a pretty maze. I'd definitely cheat with my phone if I got frustrated. LOL.

I’m kind of at a loss for words today !

Sorry to hear about Ginty. I am sure Ginty provided a great deal of enjoyment for you and vice/versa. It is so hard to lose a pet.

We are scheduled for a rain shower this morning-- first precipitation in months. Might be a dusting of snow this weekend. Fall is here!

Everyone have a great day !!!

Yes she is exploring and interesting to follow along with what she is doing

"Today was a museum day. Went to the Tokyo Photography Museum and the Nezu museum. Both were vastly different but very interesting. The Nezu Museum is situated on beautiful grounds that contain amazing gardens. It’s in the middle of the city so it feels like stepping away into a secret place when you are there."

"I really liked the current exhibit at the photography museum because it explored portraiture in a new way — not only photos of people but of the spaces / rooms they reside in and how their possessions — or lack there of — are a testament to their identity."

Plowhog are you feeling better?

Frits, I'm pretty sure the campground you visited me at was damaged by flooding

went for long walk all down the docks, wind had kicked up the water, whitecaps starting, felt good to walk. I doubt these floating homes are very hurricane proof.
Someone's home made boat at the dock with a Louisiana hull ID decal on it. Not etched into hull but on a sticker. Needs a little TLC on outside but likely will never get it.
this looks like a put away wet boat and look at all the cleaning effort saved.

am working on reservations for final leg of trip.
while outside set up septic hose, always an engineering challenge of managing flow and low points. Today was easy, like these supports better but harder to store

Drew aren’t those boats calling you?

Good morning! Low of 37°, only going up to 66° today, maybe a shower later this afternoon / evening. Tomorrow has a 70% chance of showers. Snow in the higher mountains.

The low 70's return next week. Low temps forecast to be in the 30's.

Pond repair was successful. The upper waterfall was hitting a plant ledge which caused the water to splash backwards into the stones. Relocated the upper portion to the side, alleviating the issue. No water loss this morning confirms the position is good.

Knee complained all night, only grumbling this morning. Glad I have PT tomorrow. ----manipulate those nerves baby!

Don't think today's agenda will include anything but keeping the furniture in place.

Everyone have a great day!

About 98% again, thanks for asking. Wife is about 95%.

+1 for experience today. Returned home from a recent motorhome camping trip with the RV holding tanks still full. I have an "RV dump" inside the garage where I park the motorhome, but I have never used it.

Got the drainage hose connected to dump the tanks, and reached for the "black water" (sewage) lever .... then went Whoa!

Decided to first try dumping the "gray water" (sink) water. Due to a missing rubber gasket where the drain hose connects, gray water leaked all over the concrete floor in the garage. Shut it off, fixed the gasket, then got everything dumped with no further issues. I just missed having a mess of sewage on the floor-- glad I caught myself at the last second!

68°F and .25 inches rain.

Yesterday’s purging the garage was so fun and successful I will continue in the shop/ tool room today. It sure needs it.

Finished the day with a full truck for the transfer station.

Sophie did top off the day with a comment about how nice it would be if I kept it that way.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

don’t ever let them see it clean.

Mexican for lunch, been years since I’ve been here. Good food.

only the Ranger tug at the dock, nice boat
of course the Viking sport fish across the water was pretty nice, older 48 I think.

very nice lunch, bowl of gumbo so big and full of stuff I could only taste my barbecued shrimp poboy before I boxed it to go. Soup was lunch all by itself.
the shrimp was so fresh, crispy, tender

lovely day out, blue sky, much cooler

 

[PJSprog]

32°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 60° today. Forecast says it will warm back into the 70s by the weekend.

Last day of work this week. Long weekend lasting until next Wednesday. Wife is going to Atlanta for a few days and the Nashville before coming home on Tuesday, so I took the time to work on music in relative peace and quiet ... so long as I can keep the dogs quiet anyway.

There is plenty of other mischief available for me as well. We'll see where that goes.

Good afternoon, gents.

And then the usual dialog:
Me: I know
Her: No, if you knew you’d do it, not just say it.

Life goes on

lot of excitement on my home street this morning/last night.
house pretty badly burned and directly across from Township building.
will find out what caused it, older house and oil burner?

anything I should stop and see along the way?
my first Buc-ees.
this is a pretty good haul for me but hope the road is nice

at least the wind is dying down
going to spend two days at the beach, about 71 and sunny each day
will at least get my feet wet but it says ocean temp 81 degrees
might get my ankles in...

normally I would go swim out for a ways but not all by myself
if others are out there, I'll go swimming
81 at the pier, probably a little cooler further out.
but if you can't get in at the beach...when parts of your body try to hide,
81 can feel pretty cool at first. It did in Don's pool. I think that's perfect for a pool, particularly if you have a hot tub. This way you have a hot tub and a cool pool.

and when I get to the Florida shore, the very end of the state,
I see I have a tiki bar on the property at the beach. Will walk down there and have
a PainKiller in all your honor.
