Good morning!!!!

[Wagtail]

Good (Friday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.8C and it's presently 11.7C, high overcast & calm again.

'Drinks' at the "Easy Tiger" venue went very well and a great turn-out. I had a quite tasty Hot Gin Punch and was home by 1920.

This morning, Facebook made me answer a puzzle and do a camera/face test = my new account is suspended until 'they' determine that I'm "not a robot". <FFS>

Annnd... I'm banned/permanently deleted again. I don't know why and 'they' won't tell me. I'd say "Screw Meta", except that I'm now reduced to using WhatsApp for video communication and Meta owns/runs that platform.

Just so bright outside already at 5:40am.

Tomorrow is the shortest day in this year for me. Only 9 hours of 'daylight'. I'm pretty sure that a LOT of twits are going to "Welcome the Winter Solstice" by doing a naked plunge down somewhere near Hobart. Thankfully the news blurs a lot of the event.

That's about it, take care all.

Always hard to argue with an algorithm or know what is involved in its decision making. Could it be your choices of usernames? (As in the algorithm doesn't have a sense of humor and wants "Shelley E. Service" rather than "Shielas"?)

All the best,

Peter

Wag, you could always try Ben Dover for a name. Or Richard (Dick) Hertz.

Coffee is tasting very good this morning. 55° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 81° with sunshine, clouds and thunderstorms. .32" rain yesterday. One neighbor took me out to breakfast. From there we went to local to try feeding the critters at nature center. In afternoon another neighbor came over and helped change hoses on mowing tractor. Sure wish I was 40 years old and climb under tractor to do this project as easy as it went. Tractor is ready for me to put MMM on. After I put new blades, lube it and tractor. Then get out and cut grass.
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

Mostly, thats a lot of pedaling.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
storm came through last night, power went out for a few minutes but thankfully came back on.
Lot of trees down in area, local township sent out multiple messages warning of blocked roads, including 202
this side of Peddlers Village. I'm supposed to take the rv out that way this morning, still shows yellow on map, will take another route.
Headed to Souderton, will take the north route and wave to Popgadget as I go by.

.70 rain came down in a very short period of time last night
84 and sunshine today, should be nice
but boy is hot weather coming in, multiple days showing 100? One very hot week ahead.
Guess that means Texas is burning up, time to get in Don's pool and stay there.

loaded a new book into my Kindle, expect to have a 2-3 hour wait for dealer to replace hot water heater.
hope you all have a great Friday.

Good Morning RS,

So will the foundation of our house.

My feelings exactly, they want to go under the front porch and then burrow under the house slab
That’s not happening if I’m around, deadly consequences if they try it

Good Morning,
Ct, 63 to start going to 84 or so. Yesterday was in the low 90’s with a lot of humidity, I’m not a fan.

Today looks like a half day at work cleaning and waxing the big red Peterbuilt. Then later in the afternoon, planning on going to a friends house with Kathleen and out on his pontoon boat for a ride. We are making up a couple racks of ribs to bring, hate going empty handed.

Drew, some nice pictures, thanks ! Liked that first one, reminds me of Vermont, where we are heading tomorrow morning. Haven’t been there in awhile so grass will be a foot high again.

Hope all have a blessed and safe day

Good morning, the low is 46 and going to 72°F. Wind NNW 7 mph. Partly sunny.

Dump and town run today. I'll drop into the garage today and see what kind of a price they got for the front struts on the Dodge and schedule that job.

Mostly, I am about the farthest thing you can get from an 'old lady' and I prefer cats.

Time for breakfast and get on with it.

Have a safe day all

 

[Thomas]

62F partly cloudy day mid 70's for high 10mph wind helping to clear out humidity.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...4 hours at part store,stop for critter food,trim mow main lawn.

Enjoy your day all.

Morning Buppies.

 

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!
60 this morning supposed to get to upper 80s. Coolest day of the forecast.

Not much again yesterday. Dog walked in the morning before it heated up.
Got my stabilizer bars put back on. Happy with the weld I put on it. Straightened it out as much as possible in the 20 ton press and bolted up. Might put the box blade back on today.
I also got my cameras moved to new network. I think that is all that is left to move. Now I can cancel Hughes. Good riddance!
Most of the plan for today is to run some errands with the dog and maybe a park with him and enjoy the "cool" day.

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

Good Morning
65° already supposed to get close to 90 without rain.

Yesterday ranged from cool to hot, from clear sky to thunderstorm. If you didn’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes.

Spent some time at the RC field in the morning doing maintenance, loaded grain into the barn, printed some parts for the winch project, and did a residential AC service call. Other than getting the trash and recycling collected and to the street, I think that highlights the day’s accomplishments.

Today I’m off to Sarasota, we have 10 passengers today, which is a full load. That’s very rare for us. Hope to be back in time to do a little mowing before it’s time to play music.
I’ll likely be on my way by the time Drew’s RV passes by.

 

[Buppies]

59 this morning high in 80s upper 90s next week my summer forecast busted already.

Got jobs to look at today bills to get out grass needs mowed one new shrub dead.

Prayers for Masseyrider

Hi Thomas

Prayers for all our Country

Good morning... NOT!
In my neighborhood anyways.
Another neighbor kicked it yesterday.
It was overdue in the way doctors had given her 6 months, 2 years ago. Early 80s so not the worst of things.
Now her husband is running out of rope quickly to.
Another friend of mine is in hospital and I don't think he's getting out. Again early 80s.
I used to call him the Terminator because there was no stopping him if he got it in his head that you had to do something. Roofing the barn, gardening, landscaping, painting the house... you name it. If you mentioned it he was there the next morning bright and EARLY ready to go.
Not much of a week for them or me.
I guess they're not completely gone until people stop remembering them.

Good Morning to All who Celebrate! Currently 76° heading to a high of 83°, bright and sunny out there.

Campground friend called off the log splitting due to forecast of storms and 95° heat. We'll likely take a crack at it in the fall.
So instead, reached out to my other friend to see if he'd like to go to the gun show this weekend. He said he'd ask the wife and I haven't heard back, pretty sure that means "no".

Another spicy week, Boss flew out to a conference in Colorado. Then we had a branch go down and then another major update after that, meanwhile there's some parts guy in my ear every 10 minutes wanting his desktop back (He has a replacement, but it's not "his", just hold your horses) I almost snapped at him, but I went to my happy place instead. I've already told my boss I'm tying him to his office chair/desk when he returns.

Storms rolled through quickly here, we didn't get near as much damage as was forecast, just trying to catch up with the mowing before the heat dome comes down on us. Otherwise not much doing this weekend if the gun show doesn't happen.

Y'all stay safe out there and stay hydrated in this heat!
Prayers for all Ailing and Recovering!

Early 80’s? Guess I better take care of my health.

I've learned that I have a busted strut spring on the Dodge...Replacement of both front struts + alignment = $1300.oo all in. Ouch!
Scheduled for 3 July. If need be they can keep it over to the 4th. If that doesn't work out for them, then it is carved in stone for the 18th.
