Wednesday Morning 5/24/23

Good morning from back home in Waseca. It's 54 and partially cloudy, high about 79. Should be a great day. Uneventful drive home yesterday, was nice to get her and find out my door key is the wrong one. Called my daughter and she sent the granddaughters to let us in.
Feels good to be back in my rocking chair with coffee and toast smothered in peanut butter.
Clean the car this morning then back to work writing.
Hope everyone has a blessed Wednesday,
Ken

Good Morning!

It's a beautiful cool morning in SC PA. We started the day at 50 degrees and later it will get up to 82. Chance of afternoon showers. Hope we get some, we definitely need rain.

Last night was spent in the company of old friends as we put flags on the graves of veterans at our last cemetery. Just a beautiful evening, and a nice time to be out on the motorcycle. No deer were seen, so that was nice.

Work is slow but they kept us 10 hours yesterday. I have no idea how long we'll be here today. We'll see!
A couple of our Scouts said they missed hearing me play the guitar, so I guess I'll cut my fingernails and get back to it. Haven't touched it in a while due to hand issues but maybe it's time to give it another go. May go on an overnight hike this weekend. I probably will in fact. The weather looks good and I need to walk off some of this winter fat. It's nice to wake up in the woods and have hot coffee! I'll take along my new kit gun and my Martin Backpacker. Hopefully Mr. Porcupine shows up and I can ruin his day, and the rest of his days. Make it a great day everybody!

Nice picture Ken. Did you stop and see the new statue of Mel Brooks?



Good HUMP DAY morning folks. Same 🌞 as EC. Beautiful weather. I wish it would stay like this all year, and only rain on week days. Didn't do much last night. Worked at the shop, and after I got home I took the trash down, grilled some steaks and played with the pup a bit. He's a German Shorthair, very energetic. He also sleeps in bed, under the covers, and is constantly changing positions. So you get about an hour's sleep at a time, wake up getting kicked or poked. One more night of that. I think Tyler comes home tomorrow.

Got a call from my insurance man. They're going to cut me a check for half a roof right now....BUT...they couldn't match the 32 year old shingles so the added coverage I have will kick in and will pay for the rest, up to $20K. We have to front the cash, they pay after we show an invoice and pics of new roof. I am so happy about that! We're on the roofer's schedule, about 2 weeks out.

Well, I need to get busy. Prayers offered. Have a good one!

May 24 and the kids in Canada used to chant:
The 24th of May
Is the Queen’s Birthday
If we don’t get a Holiday
We’ll all run away
I remember the damnedest things. Anyway, today is Queen Victoria Day in Canada and Great Britain.
And as CTKenagen said, remember the whole reason for our Memorial Day. I’ll be marching with my comrades at Detroit Fire Department. Our Memorial Day parade to the cemetery pre-dates the U.S. Memorial and the Civil War.
Firemen’s Memorial at MtEliott Cemetary, Detroit.

GM from the sticks of Kentucky and I am here wondering where my "Brass Panic Bar" is located, so I can grab aholst of it. Donnie???

Some Hay was balled up yesterday's afternoon and a lot more to go today.
I came down from Fluffing hay about 1130 and this is what I saw.

Yup. The HalfDrunk Tar Man was swallowed by the tractor tire. He is efficient and got a new tube installed in about 1 1/2 hours.
He had to pump the fluid Out and then pump it back in the new tube.

Old boy got a Tip of a Quart of "Painter Piss" that I found the other day. He sampled it immediately and proclaimed it HI Test.

I missed a Coyote a couple days ago but I Got him yesterday as he was passing Back thru my Hayfield whilest I was Fluffing.






Judy Brown instructing Abby the new Tractor Driver on the finer points of Raking hay with my $10 old 70s era MF Tractor. It sure handles good like a Toy Tractor.
Gotta get at it again if the SUN ever dries this stuff out....need less clouds.
Congratulations to DEAN on the Rain he received.
Y'all be careful, come by and we will shoot Sam's old Rifle he gave me.

Morning Everyone!

Its 64º and partly cloudy here headed for the low 80's with an East wind of 6 to 8 mph. All week is suppose to be about the same.

I was in and out all day yesterday. Took the Wife a few things She wanted, stopped at the tire store that I've slowly been transferring my business to and got all of the tires checked and aired up. Stopped by the brewery for lunch.

Not much planned for today. The Wife thought She might be released today but I doubt it. They let Her get up last night and sponge off and Her heart rate went way up. So more meds and probably more test.

Carl, I have just about quit scrounging lead. I still get a small bucket a few times a year from a small shop that I used before we moved. I'm still running around 55-60% lead but its slowly been going down. I'm seeing more steel and a lot less Zinc.

Prayers offered for those in need and for our Country.

Y'all have a good one.

"Someone " he will remain Unnamed...gave this to me to get a stuck case removed. Thanks to Jackson and Jody and
Toyoda USA it is ready to load 5.56 again.
I bet that "feller" was about to grab that Brass Panic Bar.
Jest sayin.

Hay is all fluffed, half of it raked, and I am going to get the Hay Bailer out of the Barn. Adding to the pile.

I hope to return with all my fangers and not squshed up anywhere.
We hope to hear from Mr. Bruce today....

Afternoon everyone,
Been running a little late. Doctor put me on a antibiotic and it's been playing a little havoc on me. Doxycycline nope no STDs picked up a skin infection somewhere im sure diabetes doesn't help.
Wife even tried perking me up with these these today
Y'all have a good one.
