Morning boys. 45 here heading for 54 today. We got .51" of rain last night. We needed it. Sounds like a good party Glenn. Feels good to know that family is thinking of ya.  Got the camper all winterized and washed up yesterday afternoon. We will move it into it's winter resting spot and cover it sometime in the next week. Sad to have to put it away. Next will be to pull the boat and track system out. Which getting the boat off of the dolly is going to be a battle with a s low as the lake is right now. Need the wind to stop blowing for that to happen too. I was wondering about you netting the minnows to Barry. Wasn't sure if you need the special license if it is just for personal use. Well, just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.
Hey look your bobber is up!

Morning boys.  Yup even for personal use must have permit if on the Rainy.  We got about  half an inch here too.  Still some leaves left but not many now. I may take a ride with Buddy to do some recycling today but other than that will probably just do some inside things. Also need to think of what to do for supper.  Well have a good day!

Got a little prep work as we'll be pullin the plug here in the next week. :sad: The main dock section & the lift will be left for the barge service again this season. No more now, hopin your Monday's a good 1.

Talk about falling leaves. Yesterday morning the wind gusts were up to 25 MPH.  Every time a gust came through it looked like a snow storm in the woods. I don't know how so many leaves could still fall while the ground was already a full carpet of leaves.  Fun to watch and yes, falling leaves do make a sound in the woods when you are there.  Not sure what happens when no one is there to witness it.

Mornin' gang! 49 at choretime heading for a high in the low 60's. .56" of rainfall overnite at the ranch & .74" in Bugtussle. Still some color here yet but as you say deadeye, the wind raises hob with it too quickly. Columbus Day so no mail or banking other than walk up or drive thru here. Recovering from another adventure in cleaning up a building site at Mom's place. Got it cleared out around a disk & a gravity box I want to retrieve. Also got the bumper on an organ donor Studebaker dislodged from the car. An ash tree grew between the bumper & the grill so extracting the bumper from the tree trunk could prove interesting. At least having it detached will make matters easier to deal with. Car's on blocks so there's clearance. Should allow us to take the skidsteer or bidirectional w/heavy duty pallet fork extensions in under the car, pick it up and plop it on a trailer along with all the raccoon crap & wasp nests.  :cool:

Yes, removing an old car from the forest could well be an adventure.

That is one reason for waiting to get it out of there deadeye. The wasps in those old beaters during the summer are just plain nasty. This one happens to be a '59 Lark VI I bought when I was in high school as an organ donor for the '60 I'm working at restoring. Hoping a slowdown/retirement will allow me to focus on that. The trim is in mint condition on the organ donor as is the glass. The paint colors they used back in those days are hilarious. The organ donor is about the color of Crest toothpaste. The one in the garage is about the color of those powder blue uniforms the Twinkies used to wear back in the 70's.  :confused:

Is this new orange color scheme in honor of Halloween, or permanent?

Morning boys. 43 here this AM heading for 52 today. Think we will be pulling our tomatoes tonight I think. Going to get to cold to nurse them along now. Talking snow on Saturday. Going to pick up the grandson tomorrow to hunt the youth season. And now last night the granddaughter finished her firearm safety. She is not sure yet if she is going to come up. That's it for now. Just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

Ah, more peace and quiet. glenn's retirement is sure working out well for us... :rotflmao:

Mornin'g gang! 50 at choretime, breezy & heading for a high in the low 60's. Had an additional .03" of precip at the ranch after the gauge was dumped yesterday a.m. Speaking of precip, slight chance of snow showers Saturday nite thru Monday. That oughta get people fired up.

Never heard these words from a farmer at least never heard of a farmer following them.  " Hoping a slowdown/retirement will allow me to focus on that."   :rotflmao:

Morning boys.  Nice sunny day here.  We got 1/4" of rain early this morning.  Tomorrow is the day to get the camper in storage.  Will be nice to not have to worry about that all winter.  Think I will just work in the house most of the day.  Will take a walk out to the mailbox with Buddy first. Gotta enjoy it whilst we can.  I was sure rooting on the Chargers last night.  Darn if Saints didn't pull it off.  Well have a good one boys.  The orange is a little light.  I like this font and size of things on the reply page.

Plan to spend the day prepping for drain field replacement (locating sprinkler lines etc) and putting gardens to bed for the winter.  I have a lot of cannas, dahlias, irises that need to be dug, boxed and stored inside for the winter.

That was JB's parents and them went to eat there.  It is not fancy but a real nice place.  River Bend also has a great fish fry with a pile of bacon and you help yourself.  Maybe that is what they did.  Yes the Ship's Wheel is still there.  Doug is the guy there.  Can't remember her name.  Nice place too.  Actually all of the resorts here are nice places.  I never hear a bad word about any of them.

Let me know when you come and mayhaps we can rendezvous with JB.  I just looked at the forecast cuz a buddy warned me of what is coming.  30's for the highs and 20's for the lows.  I hate to but I may pull the boat and pontoon this weekend and get the dock ready for winter.  Seems early cuz I have fished the river during deer season before.  I will see what the water temp is.  It may change too and be warmer.  LOL
