Good morning!!!!

That is essentially true, but generally the pilots will fly as neighborly as possible. Perhaps a conversation with the neighbor voicing your concerns passed on to the pilots would be a big help. Also keep in mind that they are going to want to approach into the wind. Our prevailing wind is out of the NW.

One other consideration, if diplomacy fails, is that in PA while you can land anywhere with the property owner’s permission, using unlicensed landing sites is limited to “occasional use”.
Feel free to reach out off line if you need any more info or guidance.

Thanks, I did talk to him, but the Helo company does what they want.
Since it is only occasionally, I'll let it lie.
Could be worse, there could be a house being built back there if they hadn't bought the land.

Back from errands. Picked up my meds at wallyworld, wife’s med at different place, lunch at mission. Almost a free meal, I got $20 gift card from them last time I was there and found a hair in my food.
I need to find new cardio Dr closer to home, mine retired.
Chilly out, but nice driving day.
Tiger got my chair.

successful afternoon, built my new workbench, then moved lots of stuff around in garage, and
ta da the car now fits. Just have to be very careful parking, with sensors beeping like mad.

happy to see surveyor out looking for corner points, need resolution on property line so I can install a tall fence to keep
crazy neighbor away. Surveyor said he did next house down so he already had half the work done, could do a "refresh" or whatever
they call it.

some energy conservation in order

Most town surveys already done, all you have to do is find the pins. However, it does depend on your crazy neighbor being able to comprehend a straight line between 2 consecutive pins. Mine in VA couldn’t.

Good Evening,

Told him, he replied they didn’t carry tractor parts

David that’s laughable! Obviously he is a new employee!

The guy that took us has a Subaru and the seats are like sitting on a 2x12

Bill, my wife Kathleen always had the Subaru Forrester model , quite a few actually! We switched to a Honda CRV about 4 years ago, the seats are way more comfortable than the Subaru seats! Your right on the hardness of those seats !!

We have Fire! rusted pipes replaced and water blown out of line. The lava rock was a lot easier to replace than take up, just dumped the buckets. Exact size tan cover to keep the water out is ordered. It really puts out the heat. The black under the star was from the water that was blown out of the gas line.

Good (late Wednesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.4C and it's presently 23.9C, mostly sunny, humid & calm. There was 5.1mm in the gauge from yesterday morning.

Slept in this morning 'til 0900 due to Penelope the Pussybeast being reluctant to 'come in'. 2315 to bed and then I couldn't get to sleep so I popped a couple of "panadol" tablets.

Anyway, today (arvo) is 'into town' day for groceries. I may get to a project or two later on.

That's about it, take care all.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 23° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 33° with some sun. Got Christmas Tree up. Rest of the day was spent conserving energy. Have a couple small projects in shop today.
Garden Pond Aerator made this design in ice.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Yes, looks like the eye in the sci fi movie!

PopGadget/Paul so flying <100feet from our dwellings is not against the rules? They have an open field behind the house they could use for approach rather than shake my house and the one downhill of me. Well at least they don't come in very early/late, so far.

I have sympathy for you. I may have spoke about the helo flying crazy low over my home about a month ago. National Guard Blackhawk. I wrote in a complaint and they denied they were low....should have expected it. Will have to take video at night to catch them. I told the secretary lady basically to make sure the commanding officer gives his team a donkey bbq for flying too low over a home. I'm all for our servicemen to be properly trained. Just go on a base to do knap of the earth flying.

There is no way to tell the damage caused by the pressure pulses from the rotor wash.

They are flying tonight again. I have my new phone camera ready. First time flew over maybe 250 feet up. Not near as low as before noise wise. The fact that the "blew me off" has me mad at their denial.

There is a face outside the eye at 4 o'clock.

Kyle, three letters come to mind...FAA they get enough complaints maybe they will get off their hienies and do something about it.

I am legal again. Tried to get on the MTO website and couldn't so I phoned them and they emailed me the reinstatement letter, there is also one in the mail, but G-d knows when it will get here as the PO is on strike. I have until the end of January 2025 to write and eye test for the A and also show up with a semi to get my A back or do nothing and run around with a G. I'll stay with the G.

We got a snow squall watch in effect 10-15cm (4-6") tonight, tomorrow an additional 4-6" and then tomorrow night another 4". Last year when they said 10-15 cm we got 10-15". Time will tell.

 

[mostly_gas]

Good evening all. 31ºF for the start, clear sky, light breeze. Light wind, scattered clouds filling to broken later in day, and high temp was 58ºF. Made coffee to start day, Grief Share, pull carb off mower, cleaned gas tank, Cleaned needle valve, and reassembled. Mower did well one pass around back yard. Trip to town for lunch, gas ($2.47/Gal) and groceries. Bike ride after groceries put away. Short nap and dinner.

Morning all!
24 going to 36 with inches of snow coming.
Up at 2 am. with sore muscles everywhere. I guess crawling around in the attic running new wires for a camera system will do that to you!
System is up and running now.
On a positive note I sold enough projects to pay the rent and make a few dollars extra last month! Wasn't much but is still better than zero! Picked up an order for 24 little trees someone wants to mount on their model train setup. Working on some display stands for electrical insulators for a customer.

Also made a few Christmas items for display in the house.

Two bigger projects done also.

Will be taking it easy today. Might play in the shop some might not.
Need to put shovels out in there spots for snow cleanup. Tractor is plugged in and ready. Going to lay down on the couch and see if I can get back to sleep for a bit.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is brewing. 23° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 34° with snow and wind as temperatures drop in evening. Laundry is done. Just need to fold it and put in proper drawers. No plans for today yet.
More snow for Bluejay to dig seed out of today.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Morning Phil, I’m up early also, after staying up late.
17°. Brrrrrrrrrr
Upstairs geo not keeping up, but at this outdoor temp it should be calling for aux heat which isn’t coming on. I might need to change a setting in thermostat.
Did more office cleanup yesterday, mostly involved taking stuff not used to basement. But also shredded and trashed a bunch of stuff.

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 25 and going to a high of 32°F. Wind SE 11 mph. Snow!

Our snow squall warning is upgraded to a watch. It is snowing quite heavy now. Tractor block heater is turned on.
I'll go out about 7 or so and get started. I've got the quack appointment at 11:15, I told my ride that I would have this driveway plowed for him. So I will plow this place and depending on how that goes, plow everybody else, then go to the quack appointment, then do it all over again.

That is my day planned out.

Have a safe day all

 

[wngsprd]

18 trying for 45, warmest of the week. I even saw a snow icon for tomorrow on the NWS site...but only 20%.

Phil, sure like the art you're producing. Thanks for posting the pix.

Kyle, sorry about those helo flights. A long time ago, we had fighter jets so low they rattled the windows and made my oldest son run for the house crying (back when he was 3 years old playing in the sandbox)...they came in so fast and silently...haven't seen them do that in decades, though.

Took Della for a hike back in the woods yesterday...the creek was ice covered, but thin...when she ran into it, she jumped like something was grabbing her ankles...new experience.

Then took my wife to lunch at Tex-Mex and to Costco, etc. Looking at the high price of new razor blades was a shock, since I have been working off a big supply, probably bought a couple of years ago. Anybody use an electric razor? I never have. I know some of you don't even shave. Later, just happened to pass by an electric razor 30% off and decided to try it. If I like it, the break even is pretty fast. I'm sure there are some best practices to use it, and I'll read the info, but have a few blades left anyway.

Here's a joke I read yesterday...Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.

 

[txdon]

Good morning! A break from our 30s morning - 54˚F heading to only 60˚. There is a good chance of rain this morning as winds change from the N.

My wife reported that my new house "to do list" is getting shorter and about 50% is complete. I think she is adding to it. The fire pit is covered with a tarp so the line will not get water in it again during the rains this morning. The pit does have a drain hole in the middle but it just goes below the tile base to ground about 8".

An unrestricted neighborhood to our West does not have the Christmas blow-up restriction and every time I drive through during the day most of the Christmas decorations are deflated and on the ground. Drew do you keep your snowman inflated 24-7?

 

[Buppies]

Good one wngsprd. I use razor sometime electric just depends on my mood. High of 34 yesterday low so far 17 house at 68.5.

Used to get buzzed at the lake never here.

Prayers for all our Country

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Have always used electric razor. Norelco.
