Good Morning Cool Old Dudes and Susan

Thoughts and prayers for Tom 's continued healing and Mark and Lynn's quick recovery.

Colonel, remember the SUSVEEs? My buddy just got his back from major engine work, We'll be using it out to the cabin this break.


Be well, safe, and happy everybody. RESPECT

 

They are awesome vehicles!!

Thanks for the good thoughts! We are both feeling better today.

 

guess those track vehicles aren't allowed on public lands (govt) , are they in your neck of the woods ?

 

Agree. Get better quick!

NICE. So how many beams, 2x6's etc.....can you put on top?

Or just tow your mill and make your own. Hahahhha. Just seems like too much fun.

Yesterday, took a break to buy the electrical stuff (breakers for ~$6 at HD, I felt like I was stealing them and they still had generic 15A outlets for .88$)..............but I decided to surprise my house bound wife and we drove to cool bird watch/hiking area area. Saw a Harrier and a Bald Eagle. Tons of other birds. Herons, wood ducks, etc. Cold wind was refreshingly raw.

Today frost again. Clear. Frost April 20, rare.

 

How long before you head for the twistys in the Z3?

 

Actually, we SHOULD have left this morning. But, with the potential exposure to Covid we had (our grandson tested positive after coming back from the Florida trip...but none of the other 6 of us have) we opted to cancel out for this year. I'm bummed but think it was the right decision.

 

To my knowledge yes? At least on state land...federal probably not. Nope, not gonna say anything else.

 

I recall how ya'll enjoy that trip. Is what it is. Are you still crewing the balloons?

 

See that ^^^^ Big Brother , I aborted in a timely manner.

 

Yes we are! Assuming we have no Covid symptoms, we'll be crewing this weekend.

 

As a very wise man beyond his years once told me, "Never take the bait". Someone out there has the "Hammer" waiting to drop. (we need a Ban Hammer emoji....Lisa can you help out?)

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Gals! Well, I did get all 10 Hibiscus and a Mandavia vine repotted in new soil and mulch. Wanted to rain on me the whole time, but never did. Got a few more to do, but they can wait for nicer weather. Start something else today I suppose. Could just putz the way through the day....

Sorry about the Z3 trip Mark, but sounds like a good plan to get you both better. I love a good road trip. I invested in a little wireless pool thermometer last week, so I can unhappily report that it is down to 73* after a high of 77* back when it was sunny and warm. No matter what, it always seems like it's Memorial Day before we actually get in.

Tonka toys for the win, Rob!

Funny you mention pond problems Tom - yesterday I went to feed the fishies, and the tank water was a thick, cement grey! I found what seemed to be a pine cone floating by a pump, and removed it to dry it out and see - covered with something. Treated the water, and it's clear today, but everything is covered with that color sediment. Never had that happen.

 

Baby Sister we good here ... nothing to see

Depends ... what setting is your hammer stuck on these days?

 

No sudden moves folks ... she's dangerous in this state.

I really hope the fickle witch gives her a camping feasible wx window soon

What are you doing here ???
