Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

I'm trying to figure out how to get new GTA notifications.
For some reason the domain name got put on my block / junk list. I removed it and
put it in my safe list ,but still no email notifications .

Not sure what to do about that to fix it.

Good morning GTA! Happy Thursday! I slept in until 0515. I’m about ready for my second cup of coffee. Ayrabella was sick yesterday and my wife was having trouble with her knee. I don’t have a job on me for today, but I need to call Ayrabella out of school. She was feeling better at bedtime, but she needs to have no fever and no puking. So, I suppose after 0730, we figure out who’s going to the doctor or what’s next? If everyone is good, then great, I’ll call the office at 0800, unless they call me first.

Mornin' yeah, I'm up. Woke up at 5:30 and laid in bed until 6. Then I got up for the usual routine.. fed the dogs and made coffee.
Betty Lou said we need a milk and egg run to the store sometime today. That Dollar General + store they opened just a mile down the road has become our go to from quick pick up stuff like that. The prices are as good and, in some cases, better than the local grocer another 4 miles away.
Betty Lou continued the work in the front yard on Tuesday while I worked in the back (we took a break yesterday) and we both have several piles of leaves, pine straw and sticks that we need to haul off into the woods and dump. We made a slide out of a section of roll up chicken house wall tarp that we use to drag it out and dump in on the trail through the woods. It fills in the low wet areas and keeps the weeds and such from growing. So that will be the plan for today.
The matching .177 362 pumpers will be our break time shooters for the day. I usually keep one of the pistols on my hip for and unwanted critters with designs on impeding our progress.    With the weather warming up I'm expecting them to begin getting more active.

Good morning, garden day for me. Plant the last of the fruit trees, plant the veggies in pots and starting trays. Work on the lawn mower. Get the chipper/shredder up to speed. Yes the great flood has subsided for a minute so it's hurry up and get it done before the next tsunami wave comes in. 

[Frank in Fairfield]

Abdominal MRI this afternoon.
Another (Pelvic) next Wednesday.

[Madd Hatter]

Got to go and renew my DL. It's about 60 miles to the MVD, sounds like a disease.😜

Good morning GTA! Happy Friday! I slept in until nearly 0530. I’ll get Ayrabella off to school and then I’ll head to see my chiropractor. After that, I have 2 heat exchangers to replace and a draft motor, with another technician. I’m about to get my second cup o’Joe and get ready for the day.

Apparently I was done sleeping at 3:30 this morning. I began tossing and turning and got up so as not to disturb Betty Lou. She worked her butt off in the yard yesterday and deserves the sleep. I noticed her take a couple Ibuprofens before bed so I know she was hurting even though she didn't complain. She always gives 110% no matter how hard I try to slow her down.
The forecast is for 80 and rain moving in this afternoon so my plan is to get out early and get the the yard work to a stopping point and get all the tools put away.
Once the rain sets in for the weekend I'll shift into casting mode. I made a trade with member for another mold that is due to arrive on Saturday. I'm going to give the NOE 217 17 WC 4 cav aluminum mold a try along with dropping some more 217 20 RF pellets.

[maraudinglizard]

Bill, I ran my butt into the ground with the garden work as well. I am not to bad this morning but I might want to take it a little bit slower today. Let the tractor do all the work for the most part. Get the fruit trees down before the rain moves for the weekend, that way I don't have drag a hose all over the yard to water stuff.

[avator]

Kris.. Betty Lou got up with no lingering issues from yesterday as did I. I went out and put the yard tools away (rakes, pitch fork and tarps). Then I did a ride around on Rancher just to double check and put that away.
After breakfast I'll head out to the Red Shed and find something to get into.
Oh wait... I have a mold and another part to pack and ship out... almost forgot.

[avator]

Weird...
I boxed up the mold to be shipped and headed for the PO in town. I pulled on the front door and it was locked on the inside with bungee cords. Then I nnoticed a sign on the door stating they were closed for repairs but if I had a PO box I could pick up my mail from the back. It said they were closed for all other business and suggested the next town over. It said all mail deliveries would run as normal.
I did notice an area in the front of the building that was taped off and looked like they were digging a trench but no workers were there. No clue.
As I walked to my truck a lady yelled from across the street that I could get my mail in the back. I responded accordingly.
Oh well, we are going to the Big City of Troy on Wednesday.. I'll send it from there if our PO remains closed.

[avator]

Yup, I was right... busted pipe flooded the joint.

Happy Friday! 

Coffee, breakfast, piddle around the house then off to work early for some gym time then work starts @1500.  I will be working OT again so I need to get my gear and food packed for my extended stay at the workplace. 

Here is a sample of what my morning has been so far.  Just enjoying my time at home before I have to leave.

[Blowpipe Sam]

Too low for zero.  Mornin y’all. Insomniac again.  Took a turn around the property with a tactical light equipped Crosman 362 loaded with H&N Crow Magnums. No joy.  If this not sleeping thing we’re not so sporadic I’d set up a bait station and zap rats.  Then I got out the specifications for our new tour boats and tried to compute the meta centric height of the hull.  Computing the meta centric height for a pontoon boat is kind of like computing the ballistic coefficient of a Diablo pellet.

Exercise in futility.

Might be some rabbits in the pasture along about first light. . . . . .

I got up way too early, too. Good morning GTA! Happy Saturday! I got up at 0245 and started my coffee. The sun doesn’t come up until 0730, or so. But, I’m contemplating what I might do today. My wife has a bum knee, so she mentioned something about taking her grocery shopping. Other than that, I need to start making a list of things I need to fix around the house (and actually start doing the fixing). Today, I need to change the mower oil, oil filter & air filter. I probably won’t mow much yet, but I’d like to get the weed-whacking done. I’ll definitely get some shooting in, maybe try a hundred yards again.

Mornin'
I was up at 3:30 this morning and put the coffee on. Been surfing and watching Barnwood Builders.
It's 62 degrees out right now and headed for mid 70's with little to no chance of rain. That's a problem because I expected rain for the day and have a new to me mold arriving. I had planned on pouring pellets much of the day. But the predicted weather is perfect for working outdoors. It won't be long before working outdoors will be very unpleasant because of the heat and humidity around these parts. It's like working in a steam bath and I'm not good with that. We still have yard work to finish up so I think we need to get after that.
Recently we've been working outside until noonish. Maybe I can get in Caasting Corner this afternoon if I'm not too worn out. Neither of us have the stamina we used to have.

[Ronfiveo]

Good morning, GTA.

I woke up early for the usual pain alarm clock, but that's another story.

It's raining lightly right now, but we do need the rain.
Believe you me, I do know about working when it's less hot in the mornings.
Down here I have to get most outside work or play done before 11:00 to noon. After that it's
just too darn hot to even think about doing something outside.
Bless the man who invented AC.
