Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

I take it they have to import all the cement.
Had a breakfast meeting this morning. came home and lit the firepit again, this time it burned. Got a bit of yard waste gone, although was very smoky at first due to the wetness. Sun starting to peak out now, maybe will be dry enough to mow later today or tomorrow afternoon.

Yea, pretty much

lexus dealer said my right front strut was starting to leak.
quoted me 1100 bucks to replace one strut. Utterly laughable.
I ordered two (should do both sides at same time) KYB Excel G struts from Rock Auto, here on Monday,
for 162 delivered for both. Need to find someone to install them, shouldn't be too hard.

they also said I had a slightly leaking differential seal and wanted 2200 bucks to replace both seals.
no thank you. That needs more research. I had both differential fluids changed today, a little overdue.
at least they did the diagnostics.

Drew, I could be wrong here, but it seems your history with used vehicles leans expensive.

everything all mowed up, calling for more rain tomorrow. Will try not to forget my zoom call in the morning.

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low was again 0.1C and it's presently 13.1C, clear & calm.

A lovely day was had yesterday and Paddock #1 was chain-harrowed.

Nothing really planned for today.

That's about it, take care all.

...afterwards stop for critter food and pallet

Oooh... can we expect a "Pallet in Fields" thread 'update'?

Good evening all. 64ºF for the start, mostly cloudy, light breeze. Light wind, variable cloudiness, rain threatened to come south but did not, and high temp was 79ºF, HI 84ºF. Made coffee to start day, was going to do bike ride, then reconsidered after radar and forecast. Grabbed trimmer and walked around property, had to reload string, factory coiled so tight it was pain to work with. Had lunch the went for ride, paused to recheck radar, and decided to finish ride. Trace of rain fell. Nap shower and dinner.

Drinking hot coffee. 46° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 73° with mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of a thunderstorm. Shopping went good yesterday. Made one last check on neighbors Mule. Turned the key and battery blew the caps off. Off to Rural King for a new battery. Stopped on the way back a few gallons of Recreational Gas. $4.36 per gallon. Put new battery in Mule. Started and ran as it should. Spent rest of the day doing yard work. Mostly pulling weeds. May cut grass today.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
beautiful bird pic Ron, the detail is marvelous

not much planned for today, rain showers in a little while ,maybe not
lot of continuing rain in forecast, and a flood watch posted

new dvd player for rv came in, will need to install that today. I might need to borrow Ken to
figure out why the sound bar doesn't work. I'm sure it's operator error but I can't find the issue.

hot coffee going down nicely, eyelids raising, ready to greet the day

 

[wngsprd]

Buppies, glad your leg is healing and you have Holly comfortable at home.

Got caught in the rain while hiking Della to the river...it was too high for her to swim, so we went to a side stream.
