Good morning!!!!

Morning all, 67 going to 86 and cloudy.
We got rain! Over .5"

Went into town after doing more paperwork.
Son is doing great at college and seems very happy, his birthday is here and his GF is traveling into the city to be with him. We are sending him a cake etc.

Put up the new tall stakes around the new peach tree. Ran out of chickenwire, so will need to buy more.

Autos with more screens, makes for many new cars sales when the screen or projector breaks and it cost more than the cars value.

Be well,

We put the jail equipment in Marquette a number of years ago. Our superintendent complained about all the snow

Good Morning to All Who Celebrate! Currently 64° heading to a high of 86° sunny and clear. We had a grand total of two downpours for maybe 5 minutes a piece, probably a total of half an inch of rain. We needed it badly.

A little tractoring this week spreading some tanbark. We've finally got the pile cut down to the point where I'm just pushing it around with the bucket. So now loading and unloading takes longer. Oh well, at least it's almost done.

Not much happened this week, just the day job and a few odds and ends. The pool pump finally quit on Dad, so he was grouching about having that replaced. Still, for 800 bucks, it lived for 10 years so you can't say you didn't get a good life out of it.

I'm looking at a few winches to mount on the trailer, mainly for towing logs to it/up on it. But that's not a priority, more like a nice thing to have in the future.

Main goals for this weekend are to pull the log splitter out from it's hole and go over it, gotta get it ready for production as it continues to cool off and more people think about firewood. Otherwise just some energy conservation.

Y'all stay safe out there and be well! Enjoy the weather while it lasts!
Prayers for all Ailing and Recovering!

had to look that up
Tanbark is bark from trees like oak and hemlock that is rich in tannin, a substance historically used to process hides into leather. After its tannin has been extracted, the remaining bark is shredded and used as mulch for landscaping and covering surfaces like playgrounds. In the San Francisco Bay Area, it is also a common term for wood chips used in this way.

Good Morning
67° and grey outside. Supposed to burn off with clear skies and a high in the low 80’s.

Yesterday’s RC club meeting was switched to Zoom as a front was looking like it would arrive at the field right at meeting time. And it did. Brought gusty winds and almost 3/4” of rain.

Today the old guys are gather at the field, I might go over briefly, but I’m flying to Portland again today. Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday and Columbus on Wednesday. That’s a lot of days for retired guy…..

Hopefully the forecast is accurate so I can commute with the little plane, I want to be back in time to play music tonight.

Huh, I never knew that! To me it was always just treated hardwood mulch. I thought we called it tanbark because the chips were lightly tanned after the treatment process. I assume the treatment was to help it break down faster and prevent fungus growing on it.

Learn something new everyday.

Another cement hauler truck rollover up the road last night. One wrecked just down the road the other day.

Not sure I’d like HUD, I hate stuff reflecting in the windshield.

HUD for the visually impaired is a game changer.

I am sorry, well actually I'm not if they are that visually impaired they should not be driving on public roads.
