Good morning all, a beautiful day here - enjoy the weekend everyone

 

Morning folks . My neighbor spent the morning lining our street with flags in honor of Flag Day. Shecputs the flags out for Memprial day, Flag day, July 4th, Labor day, Veterans dayand June 6th(DDay).

 

Afternoon all:
Had to laugh when I saw this!

 

Don’t laugh
It works....

 

I've seen and done a few jury rigs in my time, but this one tips the list. Thanks for the post Carl.

 

Morning, all!! Another bit of proof that the world is coming to n end...we had frost here in northeast PA this morning. Lynn and I were out at 5:15 AM spraying the garden and our flowers with water to try to save as much as possible.

 

Good morning all, it was 46 this morning for our walk at 0630, get to add an hour on weekends, the boys are pretty good about it.

Have a great day

 

Good morning folks. Happy Flag Day . Great weather here. A bit chilly this morning but great weather forecast until rain on Thursday. Good outdoor activity day. Be safe and enjoy

 

Well, I got the rocks moved. And I got the pond cleanout (part 1) finished. And I got fresh bread and strawberries over to my mom & dad who are currently imprisoned in their senior living facility. I think I will take the rest of the day off.

Have a great day folks, stay safe!

 

Happy Monday, folks!! 8 working days left for me - retirement is coming fast!!

Be safe and enjoy the day!!!

 

Mom always said don't plant anything before May 30... she would have missed it this year.

 

Good Morning Folks .

 

Good morning All, another start to a beautiful day. Enjoy and be safe.

 

But who is counting? j/k That last day will come fast.

True, True - Sister-in-law got about three inches of snow in Oregon the other day.

I think the end of May is about the time for first harvest in South Carolina! So I guess it depends on where you are.

 

Here’s the thing about retirement. Folks told me you’ll get bored. Well so far I’m busier than when I was working.

I’ve already replaced the engine in my ‘78 Ford, replaced the rear suspension on my CJ-8 and added stuff to my Tacoma.

Now add all my regular stuff and house projects and I need a vacation from retirement.

 

Well here's an update on the grass cutting w/the next door 14 y/o.
He always cuts while I'm not home...which is fine.
I gave him a key to the shed and he just cuts it when needed...it's his call. He cuts it once a week.
Every weekend I leave $ stuck in the handle of the mower, fill the tank and check the oil.
Anyway, I come home and the grass is cut...looks great.

 

Awesome! I may do something similar in the future. We hired an Amish young man a few times when I was laid up, and he did a good job. Just bought a new mower that would be easier for him to use, since the old one was a finiky 54" JD walk behind. Wife would say I should already be doing it, along with most of the outside work that gets done, like trimming tree limb overhangs off the roof with a pole saw yesterday... she did not approve.

 

Good morning and Happy Tuesday! Looks like another beautiful one here in northeast PA. Be safe!
