Good morning!!!!

   / Good morning!!!! #210,291  
Morning all, 78 to 92 and sunny.
Up late, finally got 7 hours in one night.

Busy yesterday, started off by using the pole saw on a lot of trees along the shared road.
Then went went and trimmed the bushes along the pool and that whole side field.
Took 3 hours, still need to do the front and back of the house, probably another whole day for that, so might just do the front today.

Then went to the Grange Fair, they had more tractors this time including many small ones. Saw some new hardware and they even had a section of military vehicles. Lots of animals in the sheds.

Picked up sausage and pepper heros there for dinner $13 each and not very good, but it's what we do.

Back home for some rest and then off to pedlars village for a dog walk and a sit to wait for the sun to go down, by then it had cooled off a lot.

Be well,
Before

After, 2 of the blue containers filled with cuttings and moved.

Just like the first tractor I ever drove in MA as a kid.

good morning, 84 going to 90

A strong thunderstorm last evening dropping over an inch and lightning all around including one near the house

The whole house surge protector may have saved us from damages

Looking at the Att data breach letter I got. Not sure about the prorata option or the documented one.
D is going look at it for me

72°F and .01 inches rain

Got the new microwave swapped in yesterday. Same as old just newer. Old One starting to rust inside and door button sticking at times.
A bit disappointed that a scheduled Lowe’s delivery was rescheduled for another 12 days.

Sophie’s burger and dogs BBQ a great success. Too much great food as always.

Several opportunities for the day, but energy conservation may move up in priority.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

84.9F and sunny @ 12:30, calling for a high of 85F for the day. 60% chance of a shower or thunderstorm.

Looking at the radar, it’s hard to see that happening anytime soon.

Yesterday ended up being mostly an energy conservation day.

Not sure what the actual high ended up being, but at one point when I looked it was 91.9F here in the shade.

Once we finally got cleaned up and moving The Woman and I ran down to Menards in New Philadelphia to take a look at an upright freezer that was on sale/closeout. They were the only store in the area that had the item in stock.

Nice drive somewhat out in the country.

Also eyeballed the chest freezers. Looking like one of those may win out, with the advantages being lowest cost to operate and no restrictions on size of items that can be stored … as opposed to the fixed, non-adjustable shelves in the upright models.

Stopped by Raj’s for Indian take-out on the way back home.

They have the chest models in stock in Massillon … so a relatively quick trip down there to pick it up … if that’s what She decides to go with.

Beyond that not sure what we might get up to today.

Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday …

Good worship today, I had songs.
Good lunch at Mexican, as our usual Italian place closed for 2 weeks as Tony is in Italy. I liked the break, a couple of the guys not a fan of Mexican food.
Hot, 92 deg. No rain here yesterday, spigot got turned off at the Catoctin Mountains. Slim chance today and next 2 days. I watered garden last night.

I hear dad not cooperating with PT, don't think he's happy being there, but if he doesn't eat and got weak, we had to do something. They say he is eating there.

almost twenty degree drop in temps for tomorrow; front coming through later really must be bringing cooler weather in.
it won't last but after soaking my clothes today, should feel nice tomorrow.

did a lot of domestic house stuff today, had to, having some cleaning ladies come in this week for a one time cleaning and have to pick
a lot of stuff up and actually put it away instead of my usual piles.
got the lawn mowed and trimmed, that was a hot sweaty affair and happy to stay in a/c rest of afternoon.

counter is overflowing with tomatoes again. Need to remember to get some fresh mozzarella, have the fresh basil

High of 89F clouds rolling in now 80F slim chance of passing shower before sunset. :(

3 1/2 hours finally got both large areas clean of pine needles and cones whew,guess I better be thinking about getting back into shape before leaf blowing season starts. :(
While taking break mother bear and 2 cubs stop by for visit,mother bear feeling more comfortable letting cub come with in 15-20 feet than lays downs rolls around :unsure: nope I'm not having that,don't want them to get use to humans.
