    Welcome back Ken! Glad to see you again.

    We had our second Modernas last Friday. Felt fine, went to bed that night, felt fine in the morning. Went out to cut wood -- uh oh. I lasted less than half as long as I usually do. Achy joints, general fatigue. So I stopped the heavy work and gave the saw a tuneup. Darn thing inhales sawdust due to the poor fit of the air cleaner cover! I tried a home made fix, we'll see how it goes.

    Thanks Dave. Good to be back.
    We got the Pfizer shots and glad you got the Moderna shots. Been hearing more bad things about the J & J shot. Seems the second shot is affecting everyone differently. I had no problem other than a slight soreness from where they stuck me. The Missus was in bed for 3 days. Friends had minor aches and mild fever. Take it easy for another day or two. Be safe and careful.

    GT6 was sold a while ago.
    The others are still with us.
    Lotus 30 is tentatively sold going to Germany.

    So the elva and 2000 will be left.
    That’s enough believe me..

    Good morning folks!!!

    My plans to spend the day clearing brush went to shit about 8 when Lynn took our dogs out for there morning play time. Our black lab Duffy was obviously not feeling well - she love to chase the frisbee - but was just walking around. She's had Lyme's and it was obviously she was flaring again. Called the vet and had to wait to get a call back. Finally, talked to her late morning and she prescribed a round of antibiotics. Had to run into town to pick those up - and then we were scheduled for an early dinner at the college.

    It is amazing how quickly the antibiotics kick in - by last night Duffy was walking better and jumped up on the bed to sleep. This morning she's still not back to normal - but the impact of just one pill is wild. 9 days to go - along with an anti-inflammatory.

    I did get 3 hours of brush cutting in - tough going but made a good dent in the tree line - probably about 1/3 cut. The tow bar for the chipper finally showed up yesterday afternoon. I've got to run into the college to film my part for this year's commencement this morning and have an eye check-up, as well, so I might have a few hours this afternoon to crunch up some of the brush. Friday and the weekend look to be the next real chances to get things done.

    Be safe out there!!! And let's make sure to keep that cooler filled - I needed a cold one...or 3 after yesterday's brush cutting fun.

    Good Morning All :hattip:

    Last shift of this set ... 5+28 to go. Will change Stitch's oil today, then get gear together to go back to monkey mtn 'til Saturday again. Break up is underway, so this might be the last trip with Stitch and Dory for a few weeks, as the trail will go to muck for a bit. So mode in and out will go to the razor and quad...small and nimble enough to get around the muckiest bits.

    Need to work on applying a protective sealant on the MAC shield so we can find a home for it out on the property. Try to finally get around to that today as well.

    Stay safe, healthy, and most importantly, happy.

    Respect :oldglory:
    Rob
    Hope Duffy recovers quickly. :hattip:

    I'll be looking for a cold snack or several soon myself. :cheers:
