Does the blue walls reduce bugs?

No. The blue walls made my then 5ish year old nephew happy that we let him pick out the color. Thomas the train blue it is. LOL.
28 this morning going to 50.
Up early with the time change and pain in the hands and wrist! Looks like a good day to play a retired old guy!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good morning TBN!
55 this morning with highs of mid to upper 60s.
Laid back day yesterday. A little bit of leaf blowing was about it. Bed early so I could get up this morning. I have a full day of education to attend about 2 hours away on the South side of Charlotte. Then back home and probably back to bed.
Every one have a great and safe day!

Coffee is brewing. 37° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 58° with partly cloudy skies. Got waterfall protected from leaves falling into it. Moved pile of leaves so they are ready to turn into garden soil. Put tractor back in barn and change oil and filter. Had a good dinner at neighbors. Got all clocks changed. Except car and Sassy. She is already bugging me to be fed.

Prayers and best wishes everyone.

Good Morning All.

 

[Buppies]

43 cool degrees outside closer to normal for this time of year. More and more fires starting to show up like in Pa just so dry.

Too early for me to up since I watched SC beat Texas A&M maybe a nap later.

Prayers for all our Country

good morning all
lot of clocks to reset this morning
pretty chilly out today but sunny
got all the leaves done yesterday, will have one more pass at them in another week.
Today will pick up young relative and we will wash the rv roof.
Township sent out email saying roads were now open.

I vividly remember carrying a stainless steel water tank on my back 40 years ago and walking down the exact same area
of train track, putting out fires caused by coal steam train sparks. Just amazed they still run that train in dry weather.
Maybe after yesterday's huge use of two fire company's volunteers for almost 24 hours, maybe some intelligent new rules will be put in place.
We haven't had rain here in a month and it's dry out there. Plus nothing in the ten day forecast to help.

I think TBN runs some updating process at 5am. I keep getting "couldn't find that" error messages

now there are booze ads running here saying to protect our border.
and ads saying voting without citizenship is a crime.
looks like we are being overrun by this nonsense, this week will not end soon enough.

36 going to 62. Real nice outside...lots of stars, and the ISS is supposed to fly by in a little over an hour.

Thank you for the many condolences and sympathies expressed for my mom's passing.

Ron, I know what you mean about resetting Sassy's clock. My son and DIL and granddaughter are here visiting, and we altered her nap and bedtime schedule to get her used to waking up an hour later. Didn't work for me. I've been up a while.

Been gone from TBN a week, so some catching up to do.

Good morning,
27° now highs around 50° and mostly sunny today. Winds NW 0-5 mph and dry as bone. Like others, brush fires popping up all over.

Yesterday turned into a conserve energy day after the morning dump run. May chase some leaves around today, hopefully for the last time this season. That’s about it for now.

Enjoy your day everyone
Stay safe and healthy

Phil, you wouldn’t care for me as a neighbor. Raking leaves comes just behind shoveling snow. Except as a kid raking a pile to play in, figured God put them there for a reason. Willing to run over them with a mower, but not rake.
Here a bit different - palm fronds and the mower doesn't do well. They also fall year round.

good morning, 35 going to 60

Firing up the wood stove. Works better than I had expected and easy to fire up or keep burning overnight.

Picked up the rocks yesterday. Better than the mower find them later

Watched the movie Bullit again. The car chase scenes from SF back at that time reminds us when we lived there.
