Good morning!!!!

Good Morning,

Will close pool during the week, tired of leaf cleaning daily.

Ken, I’m totally with you on that score. I closed ours last Tuesday, kathleen always gives me a hard time about the closing but I remind her she is more than welcome to come and fish out all the leaves

only tylenol and that only works so so
and leaves me feeling dull

Drew, I never cared much for Tylenol myself either.

NY Giants pull rabbit out of there hat.

Thomas, we had to start somewhere

I think we are going to North Bay today. Only 8 stops on this trip

Bill, safe trip and travels to you and Junior

Good Morning,
Vt,50 to start going to 72. Looks like some clouds moving in and cooler temps also.

Plans for today are to cut up all that old decking and move to burn pile out behind the barn. Also need to install new gas valve in the Dovre heating stove in the kitchen along with new pilot assembly. Kathleen wants to fit in a ride out on the lake also.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to get some mowing time out in the field.

Don, glad you finally got the Kubota repaired at the farm, sounds like a busy day.

Hope all have a great day

good morning all
wow what a beautiful bush Ron, changing colors for you, like my hydrangeas

going to be warm up to 80 today and I have lots to do.
nice dinner at brother's last night, he asked for a ride today to go get his car
from the shop after they had fixed a nail. Tires on Corvette seem to be magnets for flats.

Kyle, yes on diminishing physical damage premiums offsetting some of the good deal in the offer.
But...my car is six years old, pretty well depreciated in insurance terms, so the reverse "cost" to me is less than
if I bought a new car. It's a gimmick, but it seems to fit my situation. Still at 1400 a car not like they are giving this away...

I earned my living for almost twenty years selling personal and commercial insurance. Two cars would be about 800 bucks and homeowners
about 500. Whooeee, try that today. But then look what cars cost today and look how much more complicated they are, and apparently easy to total loss due to expensive components like ten thousand dollar dash screens.

so about four dollars a day to insure one car, seems like a lot.
but not to any of you with younger drivers

We have some of that to deal with. But the thing is, when you ask them about each of the main issues, they are on the right side mostly.

The funny thing about that is the “right side” varies from person to person, and issue to issue.
My approach is to try to get along with everyone, regardless of who they voted for or their religion or lack thereof.
We are more alike than we are different overall.
I still have my strong opinions, but I try to be tolerant of others, regardless of how vehemently I might disagree with them.

The challenge I have with working on a propane stove is that everything is located underneath it. You practically have to lay flat on your stomach to work on it. I have changed the gas valve on our Jotu, limited access was what made that job the most challenging.

After all, Popgadget tolerates me, so you know he's flexible...
nicely said Paul.

I learned something this morning, about when an insurance company considers your car
totalled. I did not know it was based on state law. What interested me was learning it costs about 5 grand on average
to replace a full set of airbags on a car, so on an older car you can see how that mounts up quickly

Total loss threshold: Each state sets a different total loss percentage. If you live in a state with a low threshold, like Oklahoma (60%), a car is more likely to be totaled than in a state with a high threshold, like Colorado (100%).
even better, look up your own state:

Total Loss Threshold by State - Total Loss Appraisals - Appraisal Engine Inc

The Total Loss Threshold is the dollar amount or percentage of value that triggers an automobile’s being declared a total loss by the insurance company. This amount differs from state to state, please review the table below to learn which method your insurance carrier will use to determine if...

Coffee is cooling in cup. 48° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 82° with plenty of sun. Got garden pond maintainace done. Found that filter had small drips from plumbing change. Removed both filters and lubed the o'rings. Problems solved. Went with neighbor to Rural King. Did not find anything to buy. Got a call from Harvey (wroughtnharv). He had a bad injury a few week ago. Some 8' poles rolled on top of him. Broken ribs and shoulder. Spent a several days in hospital then some time in rehab. He got home Saturday. Is up and moving. So glad he is going to recover.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Sorry to hear of Harvey’s mishap.
