wife made something for supper I wasn't too fond of, after she left to go somewhere, I grilled 3 burgers, ate 2......
Hope she doesn't find the 3rd in the back of the fridge.

Ken, I took it down. I don't know what is going on with you tube. I marked the video as only for those over 18 because of the occasional swearing. None in this video though.

BEF, Yes! Wear the 'Hang 'em High' shirt. Or If you have one that says, 'they are all guilty, let G-d sort them out', that would go over good too. Or how about, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone'.

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.7C and it's presently 11.9C, overcast with rain & fairly calm. There was 1.9mm in the gauge @0900. It's still raining.

A very busy day yesterday; first up was the income tax appointment, which was pretty much 'in'n'out'. That left me time to go over to the hardware store to get a couple of long bolts to repair a slat on an outside bench on the Church grounds. I finished that job and was home by noon.

Seeing as I was 'dressed', I decided to do the Launceston trip then instead of waiting for today, especially as rain was predicted. Left, after a quick lunch, @1230 & home by 1740.

So, yes, once again I've been dragged "kicking and screaming into the 21st Century" with a new TV sound bar. Seeing as I was there and I knew that my 25" computer monitor was equally 23yo, I bought a new 27" monitor.

Very nice to receive a Veteran discount on both purchases.

So, today (arvo) will be spent swapping the new for the old. Hopefully the 'air' will not become too blue during the process.

That's about it, take care all.

58F and clear @ 22:00, supposedly heading down to around 53F for the overnight low.

Gave the post hole another shot first thing, didn't seem inclined to go much deeper so I called it good.

Grade at that hole is at the lowest point ... so in theory it shouldn't have to be drilled as deep ... if I am going to fill in around it and raise the grade there.

After that I swapped the bucket for the forks and grabbed the next round pole and brought it back.

Got the pole set and braced and then filled in around it in 3" to 6" lifts, compacting each lift as I went:

Took a break while doing that and headed over and watered the arbs, 2 gallons each.

Took another break a little later and went up and refilled the hopper feeder and both tube feeders.

Set a couple of screws on each post @ 3' and 6' from the top which will be used for string lines, also 1 on each @ 8' down to mark where grade should be.

Worked on building up dirt around the posts to grade after that.

Knocked off shortly after sunset and came up to the house and gathered up the trash.

Woman had to go pick up a 'script so She picked up KFC on the way home for dinner along with some groceries.

She also had to drop by the neighbor's, who is on vacation, to set her trash out.

I helped unload the groceries when She got here and She took the trash up to the cans at the road and then headed over to the neighbor's to set hers out.

Time for a shower and then kick back.

Hope everyone had a decent day ...

 

[Buppies]

Not much card giver late left early I’m going to have to investigate another group they are always doing something else makes it hard. They are costing about $55000 a year and not getting my monies worth.

Prayers for Harv glad he will recover

Still got to finish front yard got jobs to estimate cannot do when she is on porch but I do enjoy being with her.

Prayers for all our Country

One more time. Started at 1000 rpm and after all three were more or less squirting I bumped it up to 1200 rpm.

 

[ronjhall]

Drinking hot coffee. 49° with clear skies. Heading to 81° with sunny skies. Sharpened blades on JD mower. Kubota has Gator G6 blades. They did not need sharpening. After grass dried I cut front grass. Spent time on back porch enjoying a cool breeze. Not sure what I will get into today. Need to check To-Do list.
Some birds do not like to have their picture taken.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

 

[daugen]

good morning all
up early enjoying my coffee

Wagtail, bet you are going to enjoy your sound bar, usually sounds way better than tv alone

high of 80 today, then weather looks to cool off a little.
I have all my trip food shopping to do today, senior day at supermarket.
next food shopping will be at Walmart in Myrtle Beach next week.

then a trip over to apple orchard where I'm going to stock up on a lot of apples.
2 dollars a pound if you buy ten pounds and I'll probably head South with twenty pounds of apples.
Have three families waiting for my apples in NC, they all got them last year.
And for my two older ladies I visit, probably get them a box of chocolates also.
Might be the last time I ever see them, realistically.

 

[daugen]

I sent this to my friends in Florida
pretty funny

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning RS,

She got here and She took the trash up to the cans at the road and then headed over to the neighbor's to set hers out.

Darn, you’ve got that wife trained well
I think it’s the other way around here

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning Drew,
Thanks for the video this morning Always good to start the day with a chuckle

 

[scott_vt]

Good Morning,
Vt, 51 to start going to 68. Looks to be another beautiful day albeit a bit cooler than yesterday.

So nice this morning to come down stairs and bump the thermostat up and have the stove come on the way it’s supposed to

Need to clean the mower deck on the Z Turn and remove the battery for the winter. I think the grass is pretty much done growing for the year.

I will try and get a chunk of the field out front mowed this morning. Should be cool enough, although my old Massey Feeguson does suck some fuel.

Wondering what you guys use for spraying for bees and insects around the house ? My friend suggested Telstar P , I believe, do any of you guys use that ?

Hope all have a blessed and safe day

 

[Looking4new]

Good morning, the low is 53 and going up to 63°F. Wind NE 11 gusting to 25 mph. Sunny!

I get to loctite my nuts on today and then go and level out the neighbour ladies pad.
I have a low spot I need to scrape some pit run into here, but I will do that when I get back.

The cold start video works, now.

Have a safe day all

 

[wngsprd]

66 and stopped drizzling...going to 75. Looks like tomorrow will bring a real change in the weather.

Sounds like a lot of us are getting ready for autumn to turn into winter.

Scotty, nice pic of that Vermont sky.

Yesterday took Della for a hike and swim...someone had taped a note to the trail sign saying they had encountered a bear the day before...we searched everywhere but didn't see any. Plenty of acorns, hickory nuts and grapes on the trail for a smorgasbord.

Now that I have my deceased MIL's SSA-1099 I was able to complete her taxes last night. Turbo T wouldn't let me file them electronically since extra forms must be sent, which it provided for me to complete electronically. I continue to be disappointed with how TT handles anything out of the ordinary...even filing an extension last April could not be done through their s/w. Good for basics, but clumsy for other, especially using for state taxes...guess if I moved to Tennessee, I wouldn't have to worry about it...and TN has good mountains. Oh well.

Good Morning Drew,
Thanks for the video this morning Always good to start the day with a chuckle

thanks
going to chuckle now next few times I hear plywood...the answer to everything.
Duct tape and plywood.
I've lived down there and this is true...

Good Morning,

The cold start video works, now.

Bill, it worked fine for me, could even hear when the RPM went up to 1200

Scotty, nice pic of that Vermont sky.

Billy, sunset last night was truly spectacular
