Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Speaking of the time change Wag, we do it tomorrow night. The clock in my Dodge will be right again, 'cause I am too lazy to jump it ahead 1 hour in Spring, just to kick it back in the Fall.

Or drill it a bit deeper.



Additional homes in the area would be my guess.

I can think of 6 to 8 “new” ones (in the last 25 years) along the back side of our property.

The adjacent street our road/driveway runs off of has homes on roughly 1 acre lots (100’ wide x 400’ deep) … so home every 100’ … all on wells. Probably 30 to 40 of them.

A lot of demand in a fairly concentrated area.

Do you have an idea of how thick the water bearing sandstone is at your location? I'm just asking because my back of the envelope for a 5" well is that it would add less than a gallon of storage volume for every three feet deeper it gets drilled. (But deeper might certainly bump up the flow)

My mental map for your area is lots of rainfall, and surface water, but I guess that doesn't say much about the aquifer, which just goes to show how bad my mental maps can be. Are you and your neighbors all on sewer, or is it septic and the water is returned to the soil (and perhaps the aquifer)?

All the best,

Peter

Forest, which is Rt. 221 SW of Lynchburg between Lynchburg & Bedford.

There is a soft spot in my heart for Packards...Maybe because I owned a '55 Clipper Super Panama. Bought off my Grandfather, right after I totaled my Pontiac. He bought a new '65 Mustang for my Grandmother (the Packard was getting to be too big for her). Ford dealer only wanted to give $50.oo for the Packard and Grandpa got to keep it, so he charged me $50.oo for it, BUT I had to do the brakes before I plated it. Good deal for me until my ex-wife had it towed. (Was legally parked).
Now you know one of the reasons why she became my ex.

We had 3 Packards as I was growing up. Grandparents next door on farm a '53, Dad a '47 and a '52 both shared (Grandmother didn't drive). When the fellow pulled up I said "Ask the man who owns one" (Packard slogan).
They were fantastic cars. Grandfather sold his '37 during the depression for $5!

Fuddy, my G-Dad had a 53 that he traded for the 55. The dealership was on Collins Ave, in Miami I think. There were two Clipper Supers on the showroom floor, a black and purple one and a black and yellow one. He went home (they lived in Miami) and asked my G-mother if he could buy one, she said yes and by the time he got back to the dealers' later that day the one he really wanted was sold. He got the black and yellow one.
He stopped driving, because of Glaucoma in '64. My G-mother did all the driving.

Good Tractor Morning Dennis,

I am late today, using that extra hour as i type. Been OCD about updating my history spreadsheet, added several years of personnal notes from calendars, Used another history doc I had and went back to 1971. don't have too much data to go further. I programmed the spreadsheet to automatically mark sat and sunday with special colors, makes it easier follow.
then added some major purchases. One column has shortcut code, so can hit Ve to get all vehicle entries, Dr for all doctor visits, De for dentists, etc........ * is really important stuff....lol
I few years don't have much data, as I had stopped keeping track for a few years, but I go by pictures, which are all pretty well dated. The old film pictures sometimes are best guess for the date, but knowing what day was a weekend really helps to pinpoint them.

will catch up on more later....

Good evening all. 51ºF for the start, overcast, light breeze. Light wind, overcast with trace rain, the clearing to mostly sunny, then back to mostly cloudy, and high temp was 70ºF. Made coffee to start day, bike ride, then paused for rain, then restart. 68 miles total, phone call interrupted my nap, quick dinner then to ICVFD benefit concert.

On return trip went down Christiansburg Mountain on 460 to beat traffic from VT football game wise decision I81 packed. Made it home Precious thought we had gone for good so excited.

Prayers for all our Country

Canada - Snow! Oh my!

Meanwhile in central Texas just 1,500 miles South - 75˚F with sunny skies.
"Trick-or-treaters should enjoy perfect conditions Friday evening with a clear sky, light wind and comfortable temps slipping into the 60s after sunset."

We have no trick or treaters in this all adult community.

How many people on the morning thread get trick or treaters and how many?

None here, Don. 300+ ft from gate to house, of course that’s after at least 600 ft from road to gate. But we do pickup a bag of candy just in case.

Quick recovery, Riptides

quiet day planned for today
chilly 35 out now, going up to low 60's

I wonder if it will all be covered again this morning
need a good Western wind to blow leaves across the street...

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee has been poured. 28° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 55° with mostly sunny skies. Not much got done except talk with neighbor about this that will need to be done before winter sets in. I did top off bird feeders. Need to check the 5 smoke alarms in house today. Then pull pump out of garden pond. Watch last NASCAR Cup race for this year in afternoon.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Good Luck. While searching last I visited a couple of sites that offered information on various plans. Everyone of them was missing information. Including US Gov Medicare. Ended up going to each plans site. Some of them did not offer information if my Dr was on the plan. Same with other info needed such as specialist.

Good morning tbn! It's about 25 this morning and everything is white with frost. The air must be dry and a zillion stars are out and the clouds are gone. We think the nearest niehbor with yard lights is 3 miles away. We got lots of clearing done yesterday and grilled steak last night. Snowed again as we cooked but not enough to worry about.

 

[wngsprd]

34 going to 65.

Rip, hope you get well soon. Ease back into things.

Buppies sounds like a nice trip. Sorry VT lost.

Saw a couple of smaller bucks from my tree yesterday and watched the squirrels play. Went over to friends and had a tour of the wife's new art studio...and her excellent chili.

Stayed up to see the World Series final game, so that helped me sleep a bit later to transition from Daylight Savings.
