Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

73°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 93° today. Looks like the heat has returned here for a few days, back into the mid-90s through Tuesday.

The ureteral stent was removed a week ago yesterday - that was no fun - and with any luck, this kidney stone ordeal is now behind me. I know a handful of people who've gone through this more than once, and I can't imagine it ever gets any better. I'm perfectly OK with one and done.

Took the day off work today to celebrate the completion of my 59th trip around the sun. I sure don't feel 59. Where does all that time go ...?

Hope everyone is well.

Good Morning, gents.

Happy Birthday
And wished you never have another KS

Waiting for coffee to cool down a little. 64° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 88° with possibility of thunderstorms in afternoon. Got Mule ready for tractor show. Not sure that is going to happen. Neighbors wife is sick and he needs to take care of their 2 kids. No other plans for today yet.
Need some holes dug around your house.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
Ron, great zoom on that squirrel, that is one big fat squirrel
you must be feeding them better than I do...I shoot bbs at them

possible light showers this morning then clearing up, which is good because I have a post wedding
picnic to go to in West Orange NJ this afternoon. Havent been up that way in a long time.
My family used to own a small piece of land, we think my grandfather's old car repair/dealership,
downtown in West Orange and on the way to the picnic will go take a pic of it. It's now sold off to the family that
ran a gas station there for 30 years, and now he passed away last year. Actually with google street view, I know exactly what
it looks like, no changes in a long time. Tiny lot but one of few inner city gas stations left so it does some business.

My lifelong friend's son's new wife from Phillipines will be there with her whole family. He's 42 and first wife, parents and I have been
waiting a long time for this.

got up and had shooting pains down back, not good. Probably won't do much walking today

Good morning TBN!!
68 this morning with sun and clouds. Chance of Tstorms.

Got a piece of the tank cut off and called it a day on the tank. I need to weld a hook to it and get it in place to use as a form.
Worked on my trail a bit but probably did more harm then good. Too muddy to do to much. Got some of the mud churned up and I'll give it some more time to dry out.
A little more cleaning sorting and puttering.
Plan today is a town run to pick up a couple of things and then bring them home and use them.

Time for a second cup.
Have a great and safe day!!

Drew, not a Squirrel. It’s a Ground Hog. Some places called a Woodchuck.

Morning all!
59 going to 84.
Have two sisters and a friend/coworker coming for a visit this weekend. Should keep me busy! One sister will sleep overnight.

Been a week of just puttering about. To hot and no rain have had us out watering the plants to try and keep them alive. Lawn is brown and dormant so no mowing.

Nothing new medically! Good news for us.

Not sure what we will be doing next week. Maybe take a ride up into New Hampshire to check out a few historic sites. We'll beep on the way by Thomas.
Happy Birthday PJ!

Quite a few projects in the wood shop. Will only post one. Large cherry burl got made into a candy dish. 10 inch round by 6 high. Black palm used on the burl.
That's all for now. Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Wishing you many many trips around the sun PJ.
