Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. 70° with rain this morning. Heading to 83° with some rain showers. 1.29" of rain overnight. Grocery shopping was good. Got home and put things away. It was way to hot for anything other than Conserve Energy. Today may be the same as yesterday. After PT this morning.
Squirrels seem to have playtime every afternoon. There are 3 of them. But only 2 play at a time.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

I entertain my squirrels all the time with my favorite version of "catch the bb"
only when they come close to feeders

trash out to curb, birds fed, I'm fed, showered and shaved, so getting good early start to day.
Primarily because it will be so ghastly hot and humid this afternoon sure won't be outside.
though I use to love to mow in the high heat in NC. Both Kubota and Massey had good cab a/cs, never had to run
past medium speed in 90 degree weather.
today's weather is like coastal NC, serious heat index, good day to drink extra water.

I'm off to have breakfast with school board friend, and take him some tomatoes.
Then I head to Ken's home to take him some tomatoes too, plus the chain for my little Makita
chain saw. Ken has the files.
Then home to hide in the a/c, do my laundry this afternoon as the basement stays nice and cool.

actually might run the rv gen when I get home plus the a/c to get humidity out of unit.
it gets 90+ in there in afternoon in full sun, awning on wrong side.
which reminds me need to flush more fresh water in tanks and add some treatment.
They are 99 percent empty, have already been treated, microbes in chemicals digest anything edible.
on hot days I crack the main door, leave the screen door shut, and run the vent fan, try to move some air
through the rv. But on a 98 degree day, just moving the heat around.

one of my rv paintings already slid down wall due to heat melting two sided tape.
no harm
all the food is out of rv so nothing the heat will bother, plus doors to fridge are open.

made green bean casserole with chicken last night
beans too crunchy, I baked this, I guess not enough.
Still in iron pot, will bake it again and bet it will be perfect.
plus a salad with all my own stuff, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and basil

Good Morning,
Ct, 69 to start , Oh Boy, going to 92 to 95

Dennis, maybe a day off from the deck work today

I did get some weed trimming done yesterday but because I was partly on the back side of the property I wore long work pants because of the poison ivy back there It wasn’t long before I was soaked in sweat.

Kathleen is having a pizza party for friends next Thursday, so she wants the place looking good, meaning I have to have everything trimmed again by next Wednesday This weekend we have 2 of our grandchildren for the weekend so probably won’t get much done around here while they are here. Might have to take them to an amusement park on Saturday. Will try and keep them busy. Hopefully some quality time in the cement pond.

I have been using my new hearing aids for over a week now, they are quite an improvement, just need to remember to put them in and take them out, especially when going in the pool

Hope all have a blessed day

Good Morning Drew,
Nice looking veggies, Kathleen has been harvesting them from her raised beds the last couple of weeks. Nothing like fresh cukes and tomatoes

my brother and his wife are at their summer cabin in Cedarville and I just emailed them saying
boy is it nice up there. Heat dome made its way here in the East but not that far North.
I think brother finally broke down and put a window a/c unit in house. It does get hot there at times,
particularly without a breeze

Good morning, the low is 63 and going up to 75°F. Wind N 5 mph. Sunny.
Rained overnight, but that is okay, it'll help the grass seed root.The seed that didn't get washed away in last evenings downpour.

I think I will follow Rons example today and conserve energy. Learn from your elders they said.

Ron, your two playing out of three means the third one is standing guard.

Scored a pint of Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario grown strawberries and cherries yesterday. They are good!

Time for breakfast.

Have a safe day all

Good Morning.
73° and sunny, gonna be a hot one as it gets into the 90’s. Chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.

Yesterday was another day that I managed to stay busy.
A friend made me wooden blinds for our bedroom, they came out great, I installed them yesterday.

I gave him the stain that I used on the trim, and even though he used poplar, and the trim is pine, it matched perfectly.

Next project was to mow the pastures, of course when I went to grease the mower, I had to replace the cartridge in the grease gun. This is always a messy job for me, getting it primed, but it’s all done. Of course, I just remembered that I didn’t get the u joints on the drive line.

Made some more progress in the shop, got the trash and recycling to the street and called it a day.

Nice looking plantation shutters PopG

Think you read my mind.

Good Morning to all who Celebrate! 78° going to a high of 95° (Yeouch) sticky, hot sun out there now. 'puter says rain in 3 hours, but I'm pretty sure it's lying to me.

Whirlwind of a week this week, despite work being slower, my boss has been in and out this week with car trouble and today he's out getting the snip. Better him than me. I can officially report that I've finally finished the process of purchasing the trailer, now just need to title and tag it.

Truck can definitely tell that's back there, lost a mile per gallon towing it home. I can't imagine what it's going to be once the tractor's on it. The equipment area out behind the pole barn grows. Now I can tow whatever I want, when I want. As long as it's at or less than 7,000 lbs.

Items that remain: Finish mowing, need to get a socket for the trailer lug nuts and re-torque them. Still got a day left before the parents return, I also need to order flowers for Mom's birthday on Sunday. She's turning 21 again.

Scott, not my son, my nephew. Though my girlfriend would be overjoyed to claim him.

Stay safe out there everyone! Lots of water, fluids and A/C! Get the heavy outside chores done in the morning or evening. If it can wait, let it wait!
Prayers for all ailing and recovering!

Morning all, 79 going to 96 and sunny.
Got some vines removed from bushes, garden watered and off into town last night for some time by the river and to pick up some dinner. So nice when there are less tourists.

Some tomatoes and a makita chain showed up this morning, so will sharpen that later and use the tomatoes as mine are still green.

Back to the day job.
Be well,

Time to move the milkweed pods to the back area before they open. Don't see any Monarch eggs, oh well, I tried.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Just north of cheboygan lighthouse, some swimming may be required.

 

[rswyan]

80F and sunny @ 09:30, heading up to around 87F for the day’s high.

Slight chance of a shower this morning and then rain/thunderstorms likely this afternoon.

Radar showing an area of showers over by Mansfield headed our way … if it holds up.

Had a brief shower last night around 23:00, didn’t last all that long but rained pretty hard … hard enough to hear it over the tv.

Not sure what all on agenda for today.

Dole out meds for coming week.

Might try to get some arborvitae planted in between the raindrops.

Maybe put up more summer squash in the freezer.

Call and make medical appointment.

See what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a decent TGIF.
