Good morning!!!!

Good Morning from Central Texas.
At 5:15am, have 73.9 degrees with a 73.6 Dew point. One very light shower a few minutes ago. Hoping for more !
Headed out to look at a gravel place today. Want to get some "small" driveway stone to top coat. This is very difficult to find around here. Finding something 1" or less with binder is tough.
Hope all enjoy their day !

early April and I was harvesting my first crop in NC, bok choy.
like spinach, intensely green healthy plants
folks at the food pantry loved those greens
plus collards and okra and lettuce.
after handpicking one ton of collards I gave up, back couldn't handle the stoop labor
but loved to pick okra, would follow those pods up the stalk, each one coming in a little higher, until
plant was ten feet tall and you had to bend it down to get the veggies on top.
those were good times.

Morning all!
Currently an unheard of for here 58! Nice for nighttime temps here! Going to a high of 60. Today is a dry day between 5 total and 2 more coming.

Drew I have a bunch of those targets. Doesn't mean a thing. I shoot at little paper plates now as they are much cheaper.
Good do nothing day yesterday! Hands feel better this morning.
Concert last night was good. Found out they have one more before school ends. They also play at our Memorial day services.
That's all for now.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good Morning,
Vt, 40 to start going to 58. Looks like the sun will come out but a little early to tell.

This morning I will get another board or two down and cleanup for lack of the jig saw

Have you done a search on your stove model to try and find trouble shooting ideas?

Mostly, yes I did find some interesting YouTube videos. I also plan on ordering a new pilot assembly very soon.

Add meter to list of things to bring to VT

Yes Ron, thanks will do

Scotty, deck progress looking good.

Thanks Billy, I’m pretty happy with what I got done in 3 days. Getting up the old decking was time consuming, and the lower back can only take so much at 73.

Will clean the place up this morning so when we get back on Sunday , Kathleen doesn’t complain too much.

Hope all have a great day and weekend

Good Morning Drew,
Good memories there of your gardening years past

Good morning, the low is 31 and going to 48°F. Wind NW 8 mph. Foggy and then clearing.

Dump/town run, then down to Huntsville,ON to vote. I tried the vote by mail thing and it wouldn't accept my registration so I will vote in person. I am certainly NOT standing in line at the polling station on THE day when I can do it this way.
I have to go to Huntsville anyway, the accountant messed up my income tax form and I need to get that corrected BEFORE he e-files it.

That is my day sorted for me.

Scotty, don't forget the meter!

Have a safe day all

good morning, 61 going to 67 rained overnight

made a trip to PO yesterday and took the backroads to and from. Tulip trees in full bloom are beautiful and Cherry trees as well

Need to hook up water hoses to wash off the wheels on the RTV that are caked in mud from yesterday. A better option may be open for the water line down to the barn and use the power washer

67 outside right now, may hit 70. Hit and miss crazy weather.

Busy week, real jobs are real chaos. Home front is managing. Got the mower out for the first cut of the season, yesterday. Then got chased in by the weather. Only 1/2 through.
About 1/2 through tree work in front yard. So far 6 (six) cords filled the wood shed. Yeah, I have a lot of wood. Big heavy stuff. Smashed thumb, pulled groin not bad for all that work.
Here is hoping I can reclaim the front to grasses this weekend. Be positive, right?

Managed to get taxes down to the accountant. LOL.

Hope all have a great day and a good start to the weekend. Be safe.

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! 55° going to a high of 65°, cloudy and scattered showers forecasted. Boy did we get a world ending thunderstorm last night! Surprisingly no damage that I could see on my way out to the truck this morning.

2/3 meadows brush hogged, 2/2 rabbits evicted temporarily. The old Ford is still running well, touch wood. Got the buck buried. Fun fact, you can use the bucket on a L3901 to crush the year old bones down into the hole to prevent them from coming back up into your tractor tires at a later date. That sure wasn't in the brochure. Some light grapple work to carry away Mom's spring cleanup of her flower beds. The other night at dinner she said the dreaded T word (Tanbark) but you know, with the bucket, we're usually done the same weekend. If only I had that tractor when I was 12....

On the house-hunting front, nothing new came up that particularly struck my interest. But I've been pre-approved for 350k Officially. So that's an upside. Maybe once the pinching from these tariffs comes down, house prices will tumble as well.

Big boss brought us (Corporate) into a meeting, said he had challenged the stores to cut expenses by 10% and that we had to get travel expenses under control...just after they had gotten back from a big powwow somewhere in FLA. Rules for thee, not for me. While it's true freight is slowing down, construction seems to be forging ahead. Thankfully, they don't pay me to divine economic outcomes, just to fix stuff when it's broken.

Plans for the weekend: Do as little as possible, replace the filter in the farm boss to see if that's the issue, maybe sharpen them if I get the itch.

Y'all stay safe out there and be well! Enjoy the weekend!
Prayers to those ailing and recovering!

We're in South Central Virginia and later today and Saturday mid to upper 80's!
Early April and never remember this in 72 years!

I got home last night and the wife had the ac on. Granted it was humid, (storms about), and almost 80, but, it's April. I don't want ac yet. I want windows open and a nice breeze.
