Good morning!!!!

Good morning.
66° with a high in the upper 70’s and 0%POP forecast under a partly cloudy sky.

Yesterday my buddy and I decided to forego a lunch flight in the little plane, and instead went to a giant scale RC show.
There were actual turbine powered jets

Actual 4 cycle radials with spark ignition

Overall it was an interesting show.

Didn’t get much else done other trim some fence posts to a uniform height with the Makita chainsaw.

Today starts with seeing grandson get on the school bus for his first day of school.

Not sure what’s after that,but I sure I’ll figure something out.

The daylight hours are sure diminishing. We are loosing 2 min and 40 seconds of daylight each day now. I would have a difficult time living in a Northern latitude like Alaska.

@Looking4new you must be loosing even more daylight than us each day now.

​

Good morning, the low is 51 and going up to 61°F. Wind WNW 7 mph. Rain. The forecast says 40% chance of rain, but it is raining right now so that makes it 100% chance.

We are getting darker, sooner, but I don't pay any attention to how much. We do get a longer twilight at this time of year.

Knees feel better today, so IF it stops raining by noon I will get outside and start the next phase of the shelter erection.

That is my day planned out, now lets see if it happens.

Have a safe day all

good morning, 67 going to 79 sunny

Continued old lumber clean up. The 200 year old Oak and Chestnut wood have very tight year rings

The blades got damaged again when I forgot to use the hydraulic lift for the deck to get over some rocks

Gd starts college classes today. She is in the picture formed by the new students not sure if she is in the T or the U

55 here this am and breezy, suppose to be a high of 62 today. Neighborhood collage kids seem to have all shown back up. This is Payton who was terrified of dogs, but now look at her. This pic from last spring.

Good morning! 69˚F heading to the mid 90s with partly cloudy skies and SE wind. This may be the last week of swimming because next week the highs will only be in the 80s. Water temp is still above 83˚, but not for much longer. This has been a very mild Summer, only a few days in the hundreds.

The Farm will have a soft grand re-opening after the flood in two weeks and the Fall Festival starts in 3 weeks. I think I start back up in October, when it really starts getting busy, will know more after the call back meeting.

Morning all, 67 up to 83 and cloudy, not rain last night.
Went to the orchard and got apples, peaches, apple butter and apple sauce.
Dog walk at peddlers.
Then back to water everything since the promised rain looked like a bust.
Son met his second room mate , all good so far, third is in transit to arrive this week.

Due to my severe lactose intolerance and my Pancreas issues, I eat mostly vegan when I go out to reduce fat and lower the risk of getting dairy. I will cook steak, pork, chicken at home.
Going to a US seafood , American Italian or American french restaurant is completely off my list, as is eating any food at other peoples houses.
In France and Italy I always stick to local recommended restaurants and never have problems.

From a tv show, slightly changed to reflect my skills at bush trimming.
I've worked for years on improving my skill, and am getting a lot better at it, but I'm still terrible.

Well, back to the day job, need to pay for college.

Be well,

'morning all. Recovering from detached retina surgery, 5 days out. Doing okay, I guess. Had to keep head down, to let gas bubble keep pressure on the laser repairs. Cleared to drive today, but not going anywhere, may have to mow. 48 degrees this morning, 64 in the house, ran the furnace (yeah, I'm getting soft...). Dr f/up visit for Wed.

Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 71° heading to a high of 79°. Sunny and clear for the foreseeable future.

Nephew's party was well attended, watching him try and shove a whole slice of cake into his mouth was entertaining. He's already enjoying the stuffed bulldozer I got him and very keen on the excavator my girlfriend sent for him. I told her the other day, at this rate he'll be able to start his own excavation company.

Mom stayed out there to help them get the week started as they have to do some running to appointments on top of everything else. Dad rode back with me on Saturday. Dog was excited to see him. On Sunday we fiddled more with the wireless bridge and discovered one was broken, so that got boxed up and ready to go back. Then we took off for Bass Pro Shops as Dad had his eye on a crossbow target. I looked for a .22-250 but didn't see anything of particular interest. Got the oil changed in the truck and then a stop at Harbor Freight to look at the chains that were recommended to me. Of course, they weren't in stock except for 1, but look heavy duty so I'll pick them up online today. Still on the hunt for that adapter, but I have a sneaking suspicion I'll need a 1 inch impact for it instead. Also, everything fits in my luggage that I needed to fit, so that's a relief.

As far as tractoring goes, I took the Kubota out to mash down the weeds around the dead trees I need to take this fall, mainly to remind myself where they are.

Gun Show in Harrisburg this weekend, reached out to my buddy...no dice. Taking the wife to a Penn State game to celebrate their anniversary. Can't believe it's been two years already. Time flies, but I think I say that every post.

Otherwise, just a normal work week scheduled ahead, need a few more things to pack for my trip coming up but that's an as I get to them type thing.

Buppies, I'd recommend the Liquid I.V. hydration packs. They were a lifesaver when I was landscaping. Like drinking two bottles of water in one. Easy to mix and pretty tasty.
Hope all college age kids have a great first week! I remember my first night in the dorms, everyone congregated around the pool table in the common area. One of the guys in my suite hit a bad shot, hopped the ball off the table and *Crash* right into the window! Without anyone needing to say anything, the whole place scattered, the entire place was empty before the last piece of glass hit the floor. That was beginning of what would be a very memorable first year. Hope everyone else has the same opportunity to make some great memories.

Y'all stay safe out there and be well! Enjoy the cooler temps!
Prayers for all ailing and recovering!

Here is a pic I should have posted. Here we are grilling lake trout caught that same day and garden potatoes. Gee, summer tastes good. (note, we don't have a garden and the fish is from the locate fish market)
