Thursday Morning 5/18/23

29 (!) frosty degrees to kick off this Thursday, headed to the low 60's. We covered a bunch of stuff blooming in the yard and will have to wait and see what survives this cold dip. Weather guy gave us lots of warning so we weren't caught by surprise.
It has been some windy and dry around here since Saturday and I've been busy getting my wood moved to the house for next winter. 1 more rack to go, each holds a bit over a cord. We burned about 3 3/4 racks last winter.

With it dry and windy, conditions were perfect for driving across the lawn repeatedly without doing damage so I made hay while the sun was shining.
Today is job site visit for an ongoing project, and probably some computer CAD layout for another small project and maybe I'll pay some bills, too. Funny how those bills always show up on time.
Hope you all have a good day!
Ken

Great morning folks,

70° with a clear sky and going to 88° later here in Grandkidville.

I loaded the trailer with all the scrap metal Zac had been saving. I was headed to the recycler by about 12:30 and was sure glad the truck was air conditioned as the temp had risen to 85° as I finished tying the scrap down. That trip turned into a significant fiasco. The nearby recycler was not accepting any steel. Trouble was, it was a small place with no where to turn around the truck & trailer. I backed out their "S" shaped driveway & got back out to the main road.

GPS took me to the second place that was bigger & better to maneuver inside. The truck & loaded trailer tipped the scale at 13420lbs. I got the the steel pile & began tossing junk off quickly as I could see the usual afternoon rain was moving in. I had 3/4 unloaded when the down pour started. I was already a mess so I just kept going. The time I finished I was soaked. I swung back around to the scale & was down 1600lbs. The was turned into $140 in green cash money.

When Zac got home we started loading stuff to go north. As of this morning the truck is full. This afternoon we'll load up the trailer with his '96 F250 restoration project & the rest of the shop type stuff. I think Debra Dearest & I will be headed to middle Kentucky on Friday morning. We sure won't be traveling at the speed we were on the way down.

Good morning, GoGo. At 0812 it's a nice 51 in Louisville, sunny and going to 79. Should be absolutely gorgeous outside.

Miss Cindy did some of her traveling hair work yesterday, but scheduled herself off today, so she'll be around here with me. We have tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers that need to get in the ground, so that may happen. Some wheat I ordered arrived yesterday, so I hope to grind a little of that today and try out another bread recipe either tonight or tomorrow. I'm having trouble getting a whole wheat loaf as light as I want it without using half grocery store white flour. There's nothing wrong with grocery flour, but I'm trying to learn now what I can do with wheat I store and grind myself.

Y'all have a great day, be safe, and remember our friends here in prayer.

57 sunny degrees and a nice day is forecast.
I have the JD big greenie in my back yard where I filled my Spray last night with Free Water. Good Damthing it was Free, cause I forgot it and it ran over last night.



As you can see, I have a LOT of wood left on the porch. I burned the least ever this past winter, thanks to Donald Trump who the Rats say caused Global Warming.
@CTKenagen That is a very neat wood pile and your stacking system is great. The Lumberjack @was skruske may build that for his Overflow from the Wood shed. Old dead ash in the photo was kilt by the Bug.
Safe travels to @Ken and Pancake Doug...I would like to be a Stowaway on either trip.
Judy Brown is also rumored to be returning as she patted her Boy on the head and he's recovered now.
You folks have a safe day; you never know how many you have alloted. Fella about 60 that I worked with has inoperable Brain Cancer and won't last long.

Sillinois - good one Doug. And Silly Noise the emanations therin. That fits as well.
Not on the patio yet. It looks like diced fried taters, chunks of Polish sausage w an egg or two on the side or top then the morning sortie. The breeze n sun dried her floor carpet and the bed pad. So her suite was back in shape for last night.

Charlie, not trying to pry but hope Sue's procedure had a good ending.
My Doc at the VA mentioned a great trip to the GStream w his bil. They really got into the red & vermillion snapper plus another fish I'd never heard of and can't remember. About 14" and pinkish, elongated, not a flat fish....began w a B and was good eating.

Time to cuddle w Dinah. She returned on schedule and had a really good night's rest. She had been pushing her envelope, again.
Need to get a pd order out, like Rick does and prep some bbls for selling. I'll also stick a tight patch in the Cooper for the twist. Had a twist inquiry or two at the BBB. I said I'm sure we could find a rod, jag and patch around here (ya think?) but no one wanted to proceed.

Breakfast time. Get some & Tom out this Friday's Eve. Right Charlie?
