Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 11.2C and it's presently 19.6C, overcast with a breeze.

<woof> It got up to 37.4C yesterday, so I'm glad that I had nothing 'pressing' to do outside. Even though it was a 'holiday' that I didn't know about.

Just a few phone calls to make today in my capacity as Churchwarden.

That's about it, take care all.

 

[Buppies]

Lou prayers you continue to mend

Good morning,

29° now highs low 60’s and sunny today. Winds SSW 10-15 mph.

Quiet day yesterday just did a little shop cleanup and helped Mrs with some housekeeping.

Grocery shopping first thing this morning and then a trip to town hall to vote and have coffee with a couple of friends. Not sure what else, to muddy to play tractor.

Prayers for all that are ailing.

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee has been poured. 43° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 53° with plenty of sun. Did not get much done yesterday. Just enjoyed the warmth. More of the same today. Only will not be as warm.
Friday with be the March Worm Full Moon. About 3am. Along with full Moon will get an Eclipse for about 1 hour. Earth will be between Sun and Moon. This will give us a Blood Moon. Moon will have a Red Color. Hope we get enough clear sky to view it.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

27F sunny day might reach 60F.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...8 hours at part store afterwards

Enjoy your day all.

 

[wngsprd]

29 going to 72. Happy 311 Day.

Lou, sure hope you are feeling better and get better news from oncology.

Buppies, you did the right thing for Holly. Prayers for her improvement.

Yesterday, I think I worked about as long and hard outside as I've done in a while. Cleaned up one of my wife's flower gardens...many old brown stalks of canna that had fallen over and were smothering the daffodils and daylilies. So, I had to carefully cut each stalk with pruning shears and pull them out without crushing the good plants. Learned a lesson about getting those stalks out BEFORE spring.

Also cleaned up branches from a dead tree. Ended up with two loads in the FEL bucket and firewood box/carry all. Then sharpened my chain and cut firewood and pole sawed for a while. Played soccer with Della in between. Found out I can kick the ball twice as far when I'm wearing my carbon-fiber-toe cowboy boots I use for cutting firewood.

My wife is still sick, and I was too tired to make dinner, so pulled out a couple of freeze-dried backpacking meals I had never tried...better to test them at home than find out I don't like them when on the trail. Fixed my wife a "gourmet" Thai Peanut Curry dinner, and I had chicken and rice and vegetables with a cream sauce...and fixed a couple of side salads. To stay authentic, we ate the meals out of the pouches . Both were good, but not good enough to reorder.

Then I started on our taxes until my eyes started closing

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 35 and going to a high of 40°F. Wind SSW 14 mph. Cloudy. 40% chance of rain or showers.

I'll go out about noon or so and start scraping this place down. I've got two neighbours that need to be back bladed, too.

That is my day planned out.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
I sure did plenty yesterday and paid for it
got leg cramps in both legs, went into shower at 2am to run hot water on them
and got a face full of water. Water shooting out of wall behind shower head.
Groan.
ancient original copper plumbing falling apart.
Worse is there is no inspection area at all.
This means ripping the wall out of my office about two feet from my desk.
sheetrock dust everywhere, what a mess this will make.
only positive part is I'm not paying for it.

may have to shower at my brother's today

this sure screws up my plans for today.
hope to make a run out to get more dirt/amendments for raised veggie beds.

at least I was able to confirm my BIL will be bringing his Kubota miniex over on Sat morning to attack
my stumps. Hope to get lots of pics of that. Landlady delighted I'm doing it...she is providing manpower to clean up the mess
afterwards but I of course will supervise. Going to buy half a dozen bags of topsoil and see if that is enough to level things off.
Really don't want a truck load of dirt.

when I did the trenching/water mgmt around my orchard in NC it created a huge pile of first class topsoil.
word got around and neighbors started asking for some...
that pile went down pretty quickly.

 

[riptides]

31 outside this AM, may make it into mid 70's.

Was in and out yesterday. More of the same today. Trees budding and daffodils almost ready to pop.

Hope all have a great day. Be safe. Prayers for those with health issues. Stay positive.

Good Morning,
Ct, 34 to start going to 60 ! Sunny skies on the agenda but sun not quite lighting things up yet !

Got truck semi cleaned up on return to Ct, and by then we had two kiddos again ! Tough getting them to bed last night , but finally by 9:30 Kathleen finally got them to sleep !

Billy, I always knew you were a gourmet cook, and of course you came through for your wife when she wasn’t feeling well ! Hopefully she feels better soon !

Buppies, more prayers sent your way ! Hopefully things improve soon !

Ron, beautiful picture of the moon , thanks !

The kiddos just got up, so I guess I’m on duty ! Plans for today to spend some quality time out in the yard cleaning up and getting a few miles in on the road walking ! I think woods might be a bit squishy yet !

Prayers for all this fine morning !

good morning, 39 going to 69

birds busy again and makes for a nice background chirping sounds, the geese have showed back up from down south, the cardinal is back at attacking that other cardinal in the van mirror so spring may be around the corner

Cody is all handsome again after the grooming yesterday

 

[Popgadget]

Good Morning from Wichita
It’s 45° with a high of 75 under clear skies. Same as back home in PA, but about 10° warmer.

Not much to report, spend long days inside, split between a classroom and a Simulator.
Already looking forward to getting home.

 

[daugen]

Cody looks gorgeous.

found where the mess will be, clearly this has happened before
now I have to move half my office out of the way and cover most of it with towels.

 

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!

28 this morning but supposed to get to 75 under sun!! Bring on Spring!
Toiled and tinkered around the garage all day.
I changed my design on the torch cart again. At least I haven't had to tear it apart to do so.
Also got about 7k on my walk-o-meter. Wife had the dog most of the day so that was mostly in the garage!
Pretty much the same on todays agenda.

Time for a second cup!
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

 

[Buppies]

Time for me to get sick 100.5 fever trash can and toilet here I come

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, 35 going to 70 and I see the sun.

Spent time with the chipper making chips for the trail.
Still plenty more branches to go. Sun was going down when I ran out of gas, so more for today.
Then off to the other piles.

Buppies - get some rest - stress makes it too easy to catch colds etc.

Drew - Water and sheetrock bad, hope this can get fixed quickly.

Be well,

From this

To this

Good morning! 49˚F heading to 85˚ Clear skies, S wind.

Spring break in Texas the next two weeks that's why my hours were increased. The farm promised to train 3 more drivers to give me my retirement hours back. It was busy yesterday constant flow of passengers on the trailer, but only one full trailer.

I saw an old folks group home mini bus pull into the parking lot and timed it so I could pick them up at the front stop but they were too slow and my trailer filled up so I had to take off. When I was in the back stop I talked to their director and gave her my cell number to call me when her clients were ready to leave. She did not have to call me they all followed me back to the trailer they had enough walking for the day. They stayed on for one and a half laps around the farm and were happy just not having to walk. When we got to the the front stop, for them to leave, I called a gator to transport the oldest to the parking lot group bus. They were very appreciative.

 

[daugen]

plumber said they'd call me back this afternoon
so plenty of time to get ready
headed out to gardening supply place then back to work outside and wait
for plumbers.
I checked downstairs, water had definitely come down on washer and dryer directly below, need to go
clean up that mess and test dryer. Am sure it's fine, only a little pool of water under the soap pod bottle
and concrete floor was dry

good job Don
