Coffee has been poured. 50° with fog this morning. Heading to 81° with plenty of sun. Got rain yesterday morning. About 10 drops per square foot. Now everything has a mud patch on it from the road dust. Got my Endoscope out and ran it thru ductwork to see why one of the bedrooms has not heat flow at it register. Duct was wide open at the baffle. Next I have to go in attic to see what the problems is. Refilled the bird feeders. No plans for today yet.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

good morning all
should be a nice Sunday, up early enjoying my coffee
will shower and shave, load the car with a few things and head to West Haddonfield NJ to visit friends.
should be a nice quiet drive down 295 in NJ with little traffic.

taking some bags of apples with me, local orchard now has cosmic crisp, gala and sweetie apples in.
I like the juiciness of the cosmic crisp. Orchard was hopping yesterday, looked full of cars with folks out picking
their own apples. Having grown up on a farm with an apple orchard, and then in retirement planting my own orchard in NC,
the novelty of picking apples is long gone, but if you live in the city, what fun.

probably will be riding the mower this afternoon, grass just isn't growing as fast, which is nice.
We've done a lot of mowing this year.

Morning all!
55 going to a nice 76. No rain seen in the forecast. Very dry here. Will be watering a lot this week.

Washer install went good except I forgot to tell them the prior owner reversed the water pipes! I had to go back the next day and change them. Doesn't work well when calling for hot and you get cold. Lol!

Dish washer install here went very well! The store uses a licensed plumber for the installs. He was super particular about doing it correctly. He even took the time to fix a few issues the original installer didn't do. Very happy!

Off and on in the shop this week. Fighting hand and neck issues again. Did manage to get a few projects completed.
16 x 6 spalted beech bowl:

Small 5 x 2 dish made of Hackberry:

Cigar holder made from a left over piece of the beech log:

No visitors coming today so wife and I will head out for our walk early. We are in the process of cleaning all the windows one at a time inside and out. Curtains, wood work and glass are getting the once over. Will try and get two smaller awning type done today. They can only be reached outside with a ladder.
After that will let the neck and hands rest.
Time for a second cup!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good morning, the low is 54 and going to a high of 68°F. Wind NE 6 mph. Sunny!

Now that the new roof is on the tractor shed, I can dispense with the soup can over the exhaust. I'll put it away today, maybe. Maybe wait until after the salt is delivered on Wednesday. I have to move the salt with the tractor anyway.

Nothing planned for today.

Have a safe day all

Good Morning,
Vt, 55 to start going to 73 or so.
Sunny skies, and Hoping to get the deck mostly wrapped up today. Although need to make a dump run

Three straight days of manual labor has kind of tuckered me out. Will try and pace myself this morning, I have a lot of cuts to make around the posts on the porch so really don’t want to rush that.

Hope all have a blessed and safe day

 

[Happy in NC]

Good morning TBN!!
52 this morning. Going to be another sunny day with temps in the mid 80s

Good day yesterday but tiring.
Ended up buying about $600 of stuff at the auction I went to.
Big score was a GAMAG(?) mag drill and some bits for $100. Plugged it in and it works. Just have to figure out how to use it. Has some bits and a TIG gun that went with it
Also a big Miller wire feed welder for $125 Gotta see if it works though.
And a big Dayton job box on steel wheels full of pipe threader and related items for another $100.
Lots of little stuff and hardware.
Took my pick up to get there. It wasn't big enough. Had to make two trips to get it all home. It will take me a few day to sort, check condition and put away.
That's what I will do today. Like a kid at Christmas LOL
I was beat by the end of the day!

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day
