Good morning, the low is 49 and going to a high of 77°F. Wind E 3 mph. Sunny!

Might get outside and do some piddly little jobs today. We aren't going to do anything with the tractor shed roof until after next weekend. Waiting on new string for the whipper snipper. We ran totally out.

Ron, my furnace is on all year long. I set the thermostat at 76° and leave it there. When the thermostat calls for heat, we get heat. When the temperature in the house gets into the 80s, then we turn on the fan only. It sucks cooler air from the basement and sends it upstairs. Cheap mans A/C. It might be cheap but it is nicer on the wallet than buying real A/C and then shelling out for the power to run it.

Our little uh darlins go back to school tomorrow. School busses, yuk. It used to be that school started on my Uncles' birthday. 4 Sept. but they moved it up a couple of days.

Time for breakfast, have a safe day all

48 outside this AM, heading to upper 70's.

Busy at the airport yesterday. So far all my trips into Dulles this year required hunting for a daily parking space. I followed one person after I asked him if I could have his spot. LOL. Just busy. B u s y.

MIL back in Florida, yippie.

Today I'll be working on the back fence lines. Should be an all day job. May run out and get a PowerBall ticket. Why not?

Hope all in the US have a good holiday. Be safe.

two of my favorite paintings are small scenes of the Washington NC marina area along the Pamlico River.
One of them allegedly was of Jimmy Buffet's sailboat but I wasn't sure if that was true. Well, along comes this youtube video
about Jimmy Buffet's boats and bingo there is the Pacifica Seacraft, a fine boat, as shown in the painting.
I really miss the water.

yes buy a powerball today

Good Morning,
Vt, 48 to start going to 74 or so. Some muted cloud cover this Morans the gang will be leaving before 10 or 11. Kathleen and I will do some cleaning and head to the lake for one last ride for the weekend.

Had a nice trip around the lake yesterday, and then came back to mow the lawn. Everything is pretty dry, so shouldn’t need to be mowed again for awhile.

Drew, I enjoyed listening to the organ music this morning while sitting on the can, it bluetooths right to my hearing aids 😉

Hope all have a good Labor Day 🙏

that's a lot of nice nuts

I find Google's AI very helpful, despite the fact it's probably going to take over the world some day...

why is today a holiday?
  • Late 1800s: The holiday originated during a period of industrialization when many Americans, including children, worked 12-hour days, seven days a week, for low wages and under unsafe conditions. Labor unions and activists began advocating for better treatment and workers' rights.
  • First Labor Day parade (1882): On September 5, 1882, approximately 10,000 workers took unpaid time off to participate in the first Labor Day parade in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union.
  • Federal recognition (1894): Following unrest among workers, most notably the fatal Pullman Strike in Chicago, President Grover Cleveland signed a law on June 28, 1894, making the first Monday of September a national legal holiday.

47 earlier...so quiet out since it's a holiday...even the birds were sleeping late...only sounds were the hum of the hummingbirds...then a hawk welcomed sunrise. Rare to wear a long sleeve flannel out every morning for the last few days of August.

My wife says Happy Meteorological Autumn! Heading to 78.

Ken, you inspired me to spray the softball sized wasp nest under my shelter...I was hoping to leave it alone until after the first freeze, but it is directly above and only 4 feet above my log splitter...and I think I'll need to use that sooner. They were all snuggled up together this morning before sunrise since it was so cold, and all fell on the tarp over the splitter, so I might be tempted to count them when I clean up later.

Took my Weber grill apart yesterday and gave it a good cleaning...when I removed the front panel there was a mouse nest stuffed between two valves, on the manifold and wind deflector...just don't see how those guys get in such tight places...cleaned the burners real well, reassembled, tested, then grilled some delicious jerk chicken breasts.
BEF if I remember you liked The Old Home Place well it’s reopening next spring 2026 new owners will keep same format. Mowed grass yesterday still sneezing. Yuk
I was just by there Wednesday, and wishing it was still open. Heard great things about it.

The cans of wasp spray work quite well and it just takes a day or two for them to all have died.
