Good morning!!!!

[sodamo]

70°F and .06 inches rain

Dried enough to get a few hours mowing with my “ground engaging” flail

Very pleased with results. Hard to believe this is same area I got stuck twice not that long ago. Hope to get to other side of the drive this morning, wx depending

Two couples invited over for dinner tonight. I’ll be attempting a slow cooked prime rib on the Primo grill.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great tractor day

Good morning! The prodigal son has returned......

Wow, take some time away and things change rapidly..... threads being bounced around, censorship for certain words, kind of expected with the current state of affairs.....

BUT---- new tractors, repaired tractors and equipment, and a lot of other interesting things...
That's what TBN is about!

On the homefront, Dona is still holding her own. No new symptoms of the lymphoma. Her next follow up is mid November. We are hoping nothing will be found.
Her back is the big issue currently, She is waiting to be scheduled for for back to back "epidural shots" --- first two shots at L-3&4, second two shots at L-4&5. Hopefully these shots will give her some relief. At this point, she can barely walk.
Unfortunately, insurance requires to do the least invasive procedure first and jump through hoops. Two providers think spinal fusion will be the final result.....

The new garage build is progressing, albeit very slowly. This one man show is kicking my butt....
I do get help from the son on the weekends, but the last two weekends, the weather didn't cooperate. Over 2" of rain, flooding, and mud don't make it any easier.
I'm still at "frame" stage, screwing wood girts on the steel frame for siding. Can't get the roof on until the siding is on.....
I have installed over 4,000 self tapping metal screws so far.... only 2,000 more to go....
I haven't even taken any pictures.... maybe today. Today, mother nature isn't cooperating again... 20-25 mph steady wind with gusts to 35. I'm not going to torment myself and fight the wind. I have to go find 2 tarps that decided to take a trip... maybe visiting Kyle over in Texas.....

I am hoping that everyone has a great weekend!

David, nice looking field, you should be pleased.
now you will just be making Paradise prettier

took those peppers down to my brother's home, could not make left turn against traffic getting out of his community,
there was such a steady line of tourists on route 202, finally said forget it and made right turn and went home. Was going to go downtown to McDonalds for a burger but not on Saturday apparently so I came home and barbecued some beef-chicken burgers. A little dry as expected but not overcooked and slathered with condiments gets the job done.

Peddlers Village will be mobbed, am guessing that's where Popgadget is playing.
may his tip jar overfloweth.

asked my nephew's 14 year old son if anyone uses the slang 6-7 at high school.
and what he thought it meant

I think I'm about five gens off from using it
far out and out of sight...

Found the missing tarps....using binoculars ---
20 acres away. Took a hike and retrieved them. Now the knee is complaining that I went off road.....

While out there, took some pics of the build.


And.. a few pics of our new truck. I can't remember if I had posted them before....It's a '22, but only had 19K miles on it, a corporate lease return from a casino in Las Vegas. We got a great deal- $37K out the door, original sticker was $65K.


Now, time to knock a few honey-do items off the list.

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 7.4C and it's presently 14.1C [heading to 19C], hazy overcast & the wind is beginning to 'pick up'. A bit of arvo rain is being predicted along with the blustery winds.

The flagpole is down.

I'm off to Church in a few minutes and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.
