Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Often have felt unsafe doing that with the mail box being on the other side of the road and not much distance from turns in the road. And at times had to cut a box open to remove it from being jammed into the box. May be time for driving the van up to check mail. At least there is a lot of metal to crunch up if it gets hit

I lost a long time friend last year. He was at his mailbox when hit by a passing car. I do not enter the road to retrieve my mail. I have looked at mailboxes that can be accessed from front or back.

Morning all, 47 up to 57 and sunny, dry. Calling for rain tomorrow!
Maybe the burn ban will be lifted??

Working on paperwork for old car and new one today. Wife found one last night.
Old car was BMW 328i Xdrive, new is 330i. Both bought used.
We talked to the local BMW independent, he recommended not trying to do an engine swap. Since is it 2015 car and would still have possible issues with oil pump drive or timing chain. So cost goes up a lot. And getting the showhorned engine in/out is lots of work with xdrive.

Need to purge the hoses can cover the bibs tonight. Looks like first long freeze is coming.

Buppies, 2300 tons, well thats a huge amount. Seems like a lot of work, but you keep it moving.

Wngsprd - sounds like a life well lived for your mom.

Rip - that is such sad news , prayers to your neighbors family. We have to worry about that here on the downhill with people speeding up. Don't understand how people can run.

Be well,

Timing chain looks like a toy in old car:

66°F and .31 inches rain Successful

What started as back pain is concentrated on left side now. Coughing causes a sharp pain. May be time to seek medical attention.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Did that years ago with a pot of beans. Went to church and thought I'd turned the burner all the way down, only to find out I had put it to full. On top of that, church lasted an extra 2 hours because of meetings. A 2" thick carbon insulator formed in the bottom of the pot, that kept the pot from catching fire and burning down my house.

Edit: when we got home from church, we could smell it as we pulled near the home. There was a thick layer of smoke throughout the home from the ceiling about halfway to the floor. I put the exhaust fans in the windows as I crawled around below the layer of smoke.

Don't breathe ozone! Get you an ozone device, and leave the house with it on for some hours. holding your breath or using scuba, go back into house and turn it off, open windows, let home breathe, put fans in windows to exhaust. I had to use a really small ozone device, hooked up to with a fish aquarium air pump, to inject ozone in cracks around my vent hood and cabinets to get the burn smell level to a tolerable level. Ozone will literally melt latex and other types of plastics, so be careful.

have thought of using ozone, and am aware of dangers. Obvious smell as I just walked back in the house.

Rip, Condolence for the neighbor. My mailbox is on other side of a busy road, and I have had some close calls. Have had to scramble up the bank beside the box a couple times when cars came down the road fast. I wait till no one in sight either way, but when the mail person jambs an oversized package in, it takes awhile to get it out.

that definitely sounds like something that needs a CT scan.
does heat or anything relieve it?
get better

chatted with Ken for a few minutes this morning, took a nice walk through his lower field and checked out the
remaining dead ash trees. He has enough firewood for a century.

Ken we have owned numerous BMWs always had good luck 525 and 528s. Average mileage 225000 plus before trading. The last one we had X7 not put together as well in our opinion.

It’s takes us on average about two minutes to empty a truck of 18 tons each. Long runs 24 feet wide 12 feet per side VDOT road

Hope nothing serious sodamo

Don't cough!
But keep us posted. Some of us rely on reading your posts to remind us of Hawaii. I probably spent 3 or 4 months all told supporting the troops at Fort Shafter. Most of it outside. Far different from my Vermont & Virginia climate.
So get better!

We tried Febreze and all kinds of aerosol sprays to try to mask the smell, but ozone works, while the others didn't.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently 15.3C [heading to 18C], clear & calm.

Yesterday's meeting was very interesting & 'productive'. The bakery with the Eccles cakes was open too, although there was only one left! I grabbed a couple of almond tarts to go with it. Home by 1500.

A 'special event' occurred, for me, last evening as I was visited by an echidna in my garden. Echidnas are native to Tasmania, and I've seen them before, but this was the first time that I've seen one around my house. Funny little 'plodding' creatures about the size of a "Nerf" football, whose hind feet face backwards. They're unique in that, like a platypus, they lay eggs. Oh, and their young are called 'puggles'.

As per usual, I'm off to Church in about a half hour and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.

Good Afternoon,
Mike, our condolences to your neighbor!
Terrible news, we are fortunate in the fact we are on a dead end street, so limited traffic and slower speeds !

In Vermont, it’s a dirt road but the cars can whip by quite fast with a cloud of dust, I’m a bit more cautious up there than Ct !

Thoughts and prayers !

Serious bad news last night. Neighbor was killed by hit and run driver while checking his mail. So far this AM, no news on apprehension.

What a shame hope the driver caught soon and swift hard justice given.

Yesterday was my mom's visitation at the funeral home. It was great talking with so many folks that knew her...I learned so much more about other parts of her life through their eyes. I had scanned about 100 photos for a slide show and picked out a nice classical music piece for the soundtrack. Everyone enjoyed seeing her from when she was a baby to more recent time...prompted even more memories and stories.

Glad turn out was peaceful easy feeling for you folks.

I tried the biscuit recipe I posted the other day. They were GREAT! Cooked them for 15 minutes at 450°F.
But every oven is different. I will definitely be doing them again, probably before the cream goes off.

Met with landowner about his trees mess laying on our land,I offer to allow tree clean crew enter our property and I leave the chain unlock after ground freezes,landowner didn't seem to concern about having mess clean up.

My understanding is if trees from neighboring falls on you, it’s up to you. Maybe different there.
