[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!

54 this morning under clouds all day. High around 73.
Another day of digging welding and spreading again yesterday. Supposed to rain the next couple of days so I will watch and see if anything needs special attention. May take today off. From the bridge anyways. Much needed down day

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

Morning all!
Same weather here as Scott.
Pretty much will be a visiting day today. Coffee at my sisters and then visiting with the wife's cousin at the farm. They have 4 new goat babies to check out!
Will also look around the mill while I'm there.
Was able to drop off the old lathe for the agreed upon price. He has a mill also and brought me some bowls, dishes and vases. (some assembly required)

Being lazy at the moment but need to get into the shop for it's weekly sweep up and put away!
Not sure if we will walk early or later.
Time for another coffee and some breakfast.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Have a safe day all

Good Morning.
50° and sunny, high in the middle 60’s and becoming partly cloudy.
Yesterday actually had a few passing brief showers, only totaled .01”, but brought a nice view off the patio of the old folks home.

We got Zoe’s old crate out when she came back from her surgery in case we needed to contain her, which we didn’t. However, she still likes it as her fort. I put her bed in there, I wonder if that’s the attraction.

But she will randomly come and go into it. She seems pretty comfortable in there.

I did take the hedge trimmer and chainsaw for a trip down the lane, cutting back any encroaching growth, and improving the visibility around the blind turn.

Also got the oil changed in the little plane with the help of grandson and son. Helped them with a flagstone patio at the pond, grandson is now fluent with a level, checking everything in sight.

Got to get moving, I’m making waffles for the kids, a routine that is many decades old, and I’m not tired of it yet.

Good Morning,
Ct, 46 to start going to 62. Maybe some short glimpses of the sun but not much.

Services this morning then back home to possibly open the pool, we will see. Too much stuff to do.

Got my dipole antenna up yesterday with help from my neighbor across the street with his bucket truck. Got the apex up to about 40 ft, pretty happy with that.

Hope all have a good day

Nice see if he wants to come to idaho! I use my drone to put wire antennas up. I have a 380ft Delta Loop for Transmit and a 780ft Beverage antenna for Receive.

lot of nice looking btu's Frits.

it's always important to have one's priorities straight
Too much stuff to do.
Got my dipole antenna up

an early tv memory of mine is watching Buck Rogers
saying into his magic microphone:
Come In Mars!
Come in Mars!
and in a scratchy sound, Mars replied...

may you always have wonderful discoveries over the airwaves.
and if you are lucky, the other person will ask you
what planet are you from?

 

[B7510HSD]

Drew I am an AFMARS member. I remember years ago going into an EOC for disaster relief while there the commander in charge asked what entity I was from and not thinking just said I'm from MARS. They almost escorted me out the door until I showed my card!

43 earlier when feeding the birds. Grass is as wet as after a rain from the dew. Real nice morning. Skies so clear and blue.

Real good looking pup, Buppies. What are you gonna call him/her?

Happy, congrats on your bridge crossing!

Roasted 3 batches of coffee Friday while things were still wet. We only drink it black, or as lattes on special occasions.

Yesterday, took advantage of temps in the 40s...cut a load of firewood. Only found 2 ticks on me afterwards...one on the unmentionables. Got most of the mowing done.

 

[Buppies]

Will call her Precious more than likely once leg heal game on. When went to doctor still red poked and prodded still sore but red gone ankle back down if all good after Wednesday visit all clear goody goody.

Don’t you just hate ticks several years ago wife had to get one off in unmentionable place painful but successful

 

[daugen]

ticks suck, in every form of the word...

got car washed and most of rv
then run downtown to get six more bags of hardwood mulch
taking a break before I start on the lawn, won't run mower until noon anyway

lot of bicyclists and motorcycles out on road, bicycle club really was a hazard to driving on these narrow windey country roads
this is a very pretty area but not all that bicycle friendly until you go to the parks or along the Towpath

63F and fair @ 10:15, calling for a high of 65F for the day.

Worked on clean up in the shop for most of yesterday. Got 2 (of the 3) enclosed 4' storage shelves along the west wall cleaned out and stuff put back away.

Moved new saw horses down to the house. Since, for the time being, they are being used on pavement will worry about plating the feet later, after I get the posts coated.

That will give me a chance to get the drops unburied and see what I have to stick on there.

Got all the mowing done down here around the house later in the afternoon after it warmed up a bit. Still felt pretty chilly with the wind.

Woman ran out to the grocery store for supplies, also hit the pharmacy while She was out.

Got original bandage removed from my neck and replaced with a new dressing. Woman was surprised at the number of stitches.

On agenda for today:

Finish up coating the first two 6" x 12' posts, maybe fetch the other two out of the barn and get started on those.

Plant the last of the brassicas and get them covered.

Repot those couple of tomato seedlings.

Maybe start mowing the upper part of the front lawn. The bottom portion is likely still too wet. Will shoot for tomorrow afternoon on that.

See what else comes up.

Very thankful ticks seem to be few and far between around here.

Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday ...

RS, be careful with open wounds and garden dirt.
my SIL got blood poisoning from gardening with a cut finger
a rather unpleasant thought considering I usually don't wear gloves.

blue sky with pretty white clouds

 

[kenmbz]

Morning all, going up to 68.
Finished swale yesterday, ran to get salt for pool and run errands.
Hope to get pool open today.

New driveway should start Tuesday, and finish based on weather.
Price was within what we thought and ran it by Buppies

Be well,

 

[sodamo]

66°F and .37 inches rain Squeezed most welcome be my friend that poured small concrete pad.

Changed fuel filter on my mule, not the problem, but glad I changed it. More investigation.

Get to spend a few hours with Sophie before taking her to airport. Headed to Az to play companion/caregiver for sister getting back surgery. Sister lives alone since husband passed and won’t be allowed to drive for 2 weeks.

The furry kids and I get to bach it.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Paul we have had a similar crate since 2000. Has been the “fort” and safe place for 26 boxers and 3 cats. That includes the 3 litters. Simba, the cat mixes it up and lies on top instead of inside sometimes. They use it everyday, each taking their turn. Well, the new girl, Makana seems to be taking her share plus. The only time door is closed is to secure the pillows, which Makani still likes to drag outside when we are not home. Guess it will never get taken down. Originally got it as Jack, our 2nd boy had very bad separation anxiety when we adopted him. Took him just 2 times left along to prove Sophie didn’t need any house plants.

Temp is going up to 70° tomorrow with full sun a good grass cutting day.
I'll start on the back, then the front and the north field. I'll also do both sides of the driveway. That went begging last time I cut along with the back.

 

[daugen]

showers threatening but not happening.
got some carnauba butter wax put down on half the car, as usual carnauba little touchy being applied
to hot metal. I'd wait til the shade came out and then apply. Maybe I just like the smell of that wax.
going over some detailer polish, always wonder about compatability but this did fine. Little slicker when the bugs hit.

have a problem tree in the woods, a leaner into another tree.
was out studying that today. Wish I had a tractor and a chain...
I think if I pull the bottom to the right it will fall off the hangup branch.

ribs went into toaster oven for 45 minutes on low, then will go out on barbecue to get a little crunch hopefully

 

[Buppies]

I’ve got a cage (kennel) ordered for new pup also harness and 10 foot leash. Breedered is working with her every day hopefully Holly can work with Precious.

Hope all goes well Ken always just a message away

 

[Wagtail]

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 2.6C and it's presently 14.4C, mostly overcast with off/on showers & fairly calm. There was 0.5mm in the gauge @ 0900.

All of my dhobi done & folded yesterday. Nothing planned for today.

That's about it, take care all.
