[Blowpipe Sam]

Mornin Y'all!  My JD Z-Trac zero turn mower is back from the shop and I've got beaucoup mowing to do!  I'll be training our newest ranger.  She will be handling the string trimming and stick edging.  I'll be riding the mower for a change.  Gonna be fun today!

Good morning GTA! Happy Wednesday! I woke up at 0200 and then again at 0430. I’m getting ready to head out to my Wednesday morning meeting and then to work. My wife- Andi (Andrea), and Ayrabella left at 0400 for the surgery center in Rogers. Ayrabella is having a tumor removed from the inside middle of her right calf. They only let one parent in and I’m supposed to be training a new guy today. He might show up by noon. Otherwise, I’d be there. I’m going to do my best to get through this day, but I’ll feel better when I hear good news and when they get home safe.

Prayers that it goes smooth and easy.

Hope everything goes well John.
I'm not going to cloud that message with any of my goings on today.

Thank you Fellas… Ayrabella is out of surgery, my wife said all went well. She has stitches inside her leg and glue on the outside. She has a week off from school and a follow up with the vascular doctor in 2 weeks. School lets out at the end of the month, so she doesn’t have far to go. Hopefully, she heals well. Because, Memorial Day weekend, we’re taking Ayrabella to the Little Rock Zoo with my mom. 

Andi & Ayrabella just got back home, probably back to sleep and rest the remainder of the day.

Good to hear John..

Ok, so I'm gonna make some lead corn on the cob ingots today..
I also have a bunch of limbs to move to the big burn pile and a dead tree to drop. I need to take it down because if it faalls where it wants to, it might not be a good thing.

[Madd Hatter]

That's great news 🙂!!!!

Heading to Costco 🫤 to get a new TV as the 1 we just not worthy power. The 1 we have now is 13 years old.

Hard on the emotions to witness our kids undergo invasive procedures.

God bless you and yours John.

Stuck in the penalty box today.  No bueno.

[bReTt]

Good to hear John!  Glad she is home and recovering.  Kids are tough! 

[Jshooter71]

Thanks again for all you guys. I’m home from work and Ayrabella is awake and doing well. It’s 1700, so it’s about time I wake Andi up. Ayrabella has black & blue with glue all over, she’s quite proud that “bump” is gone.

Good morning GTA! Happy Thursday! I got up at 0430 and I’m having my coffee. Finally, today I start training the new guy from NE Arkansas. We’ll do a PM with air filters and coil cleaning. I’m going to rollout to work around 0600. I’ll only get to train the new guy today and tomorrow this week, then he can head home. The plan is to train him next week also. Ayrabella is doing good, I’m sure the girls will sleep in.

Good to hear John.

I plan on driving 580 miles back to my son's today. Shower and breakfast first.

[starlingassassin]

got up at 4:44 and couldnt go back to bed.

so i got out the french press,
and made some "kunjin" from commonplace coffee.

already packed my fishing gear in the car,
soon as the boss lady leaves to run the showroom,
im hitting the bait shop for some big shiners,
and heading to a little known big bass/big big pike lake nearby.

of course im taking my impact,
lots of groundhogs down there too.

Mornin Y'all.  Bon Bon our Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever got loose this morning and is leading the memsahib a merry chase through the neighborhood! She's got Flash and Flytrap loaded up on the UTV and she's out looking for our delinquent.  Typical Toller behavior.  I'm working the late shift at the park today.  I plan to spend the day on the mower again.

[Oldgringo]

Yeah, I've been awake since 4:30 and finally got up.  I mowed the front yard yesterday afternoon.  Today, I'm gonna' shoot some spinner spoons and hopefully take a nap after lunch.

Good Mornin'

I was up at the usual time doing the usual things this morning.
Then I came out to the Red Shed and got things fired up.
Decided to cast some .22 wadcutters and got a couple hundred in the tumbler.
I heard some noise coming from outside and rolled up the door to find it was just activity at the airport behind us. I think Ft. Rucker is doing some training stuff today. Seen a few Mil. choppers fly in this morning.
I kinda wish I wouldn't have done that because the first thing I saw was the 16' trailer I backed in to begin loading up limbs and branches that we had piled up and they need to move down to the big burn pile near the barn.
So I found some work gloves and go started on that. I had Willie G. at the ready becaause that area looked quite snakey. No players yet.
I figure if I stay at it, it should be about 1/2 day job. It's been pretty windy the past few days so I'm not sure if I want to risk a burn. Todaay would be the last chance because Riley Blackwell told me to expect rain for the next week after today.

[Bicycleman]

Riley Blackwell told me to expect rain for the next week after today.
Danielle Breezy (yes, her real name) had a similar forecast yesterday afternoon for the Nashville area.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Well we are back in MO and I just got the wife to drive for a while. I will take over again after about 150 miles or so or if it starts raining.  It is sunny and 77 degrees currently in northern MO.
