Monday Morning 5/22/23

Good morning from Estes Park. Weather is great, no wind or rain and the smoke is clearing. We toured RMNP yesterday afternoon. It is always pretty. Lots of mule deer everywhere, they can be underfoot. Not afraid of people.
This morning we'll head towards home via Cheyenne and Rapid City. Seeing new country and we hope Mount Rushmore.
The road across the park is only open to 10,000 feet. The rest is buried in eyeball deep snow.
Pictures in the park.

55° here and it feels great outside. Sorted the rest of the wheel weights yesterday morning which only yielded 42 pounds of lead. Most of them were steel-113 pounds along with 11 pounds of zinc.
Visited with Mom and my aunt and enjoyed a true day of rest. Sat outside for awhile after the sun went down and just took in the cool, dry evening.

Ken, my wife and I went to Mt Rushmore 2 years ago and came through Estes Park and RMNP on the return home. It was the highlight of the trip for me and I want to go back.
Good luck to those in the prairie dog fields. Make it a good day

Actually morning, GM from the sticks of Kentucky at ratger cool degrees when I let Brahms out to "check his messages."
Full day ahead.
Yesterday I got ready to cut Hay and drove to the field; a hydraulic line had popped off. I was plugging it back in when saw Tire Fluid spraying from a valve stem on the 18x36 tractor tire. Back to the barn, unhook hay cutter and Hay Bailer on the Big Greenie tractor and hook Greenie to the Cutter. Ain't even turned it ON and there's trouble.
Like @charlie sterner luck.

A few hours later.

Today I have to Fluff this part a day probably Cut the remaining part of the field. Gonna be a lot down for 1 person to ball up. And he ain't the best shape.

Farmers Hands always look like this. Gloves would be recommended.
@Kermit in Va. sounds like he may be in the shack out back smoking some weed?? Hav at it.
Heading Out to sharpen mower blades and call the half drunk Tar repairman at 0800.

Have a good day and good luck in PD land.

49° this morning 69° for a high and cloudy. I was up at 3:30, what is with that?
I was to meet a guy this afternoon to stake out a building lot, got a text last night that he was going to urgent care after getting kicked by a cow that got out. I think there are a couple of guys that can relate to that. Lot stake out on hold.
The highlight of my weekend was the birthday party for my one year old granddaughter. Someone shot these pictures and sent them to me. Little Cora saw me and want me to pick her up.

JR I can relate to the hand. It is usually followed by,” How did that happen?”

Morning Everyone!

Its 66º and Sunny here headed for the upper 70's with a calm wind.

The Wife didn't feel well yesterday so we didn't go to watch the Grandsons play ball. Which turned out to be a smart decision. They played 4 games which means they played a game, skipped a game, played a game, ect and would have been an all day thing.

The Wife continued to feel bad and I ended up taking Her to the emergency room in the middle of the night. Her Heart rate and BP were elevated but they got them under control. They decided to keep Her so I went back home. Got back home about 3:30 so I'm kind of dragging today. I'll get Her a bag of things that She wants and take them back up there after while after they get Her to a room. And on top of that the low tire warning light on Her Expedition came on on my way home. I don't have an air compressor anymore so I'll be stopping by the tire store this morning. We would appreciate any prayers that you guys would care to send our way.

Prayers offered for those in need and for our Country. Special prayers for Bill as He is in surgery this morning.

Y'all have a good one.
