Good morning. I'm off to work installing a couple more windows and hopefully finishing up this little side job before we get back to the house project. It's supposed to turn colder later this week but not down to the nasty stuff that is still a little ways away. Have a great week.____Dave

Good Morning Everyone.

I'm up early because I get very little sleep last night. I ate out for lunch and supper maybe that is why, too much food.
Got to go into town in a bit to the post office and hardware store. I almost forgot when I was in town yesterday I saw
gas at one of the big stations here for $2.88 for 87 octane. Cheryl ask me "do you think they lowered the price just
because Biden told them to do it in a speech?" I sincerely doubt it.. ::uc:: Have a blessed Monday everyone... :D

Coffee is brewing. Nothing to report.

Mornin' folks. Like most of the other posters here in FCD I have little to report this morning and I have nothing in particular planned for the day. Our temp right now is 57º and it'll get to about 90º this afternoon.
Hope you all have a great day today.

Morning FCD crew, 53 here dropping to 50, heavy winds with 2.25” of rain on the ground with another 2” by tomorrow night. The cover crops i planted 10 days ago are loving it, you can almost hear them growing ::nod::

Off to the gym in a few and then home to mess with a few things indoors. Coffee is good this morning, sausage, eggs and homefries would be better, maybe tomorrow!

Peace

Good Mornin', Diners.
55 degrees this morning, hit 90 yesterday but humidity percentage was in the low 40's, pleasant compared to 90 degrees and 90% humidity. ::tu::
Hopefully we'll be doing our last mowing for the season this week. Growth has slowed considerably because of no rain plus the growing season is almost over. Still trying to nurse some Seminole Pumpkins to maturity. ::shrug::
Bad news continues to come out of south Florida, more deaths are being discovered.
Coffee is ready.
Y'all have a good day!

Diner is up and running and the brew is a brewin'. Inflation kicked in here this morning, stopped at 7/11 for a coffee on my way to the gym, was one dollar yesterday, two bucks today. ::doh:: Might invest in a pod machine from Aldi, good coffee and will pay for itself in no time. Enjoy your coffee and have a good one. ::tu::

They're opening a second Aldi this Friday at 34 Elizabeth Street, Prahran, VIC. Will that be any closer for you?

Mornin' folks here in the FCD. Chris, sounds like you have a busy day ahead. I am all spiffed up for Men's Devotional Breakfast this morning but nothing else planned for the day. The Deli has a hamburger special today and a small group of us old timers will get together for that.
It is a little warmer 62º right now but still very comfortable.
Hope you all have a dandy day.

Absolutely NOTHING to report. Coffee will be the highlight of the day. 63-74 degrees and no rain.

Morning Fellas.
Not Sure if I missed her post or ?Is Boji on a road trip,thought she mentioned going to Ca.
It’s been busy here . It’s that time of year where everyone calls there local contractors to get there stuff done before freeze up .The phones are ringing constantly at brother Jeff’s desk . I sure am happy that my semi retirement means don’t have to deal with calls . And then it’s prime musky fishing and the weather is just right for bow hunting . So work might have to wait a week or 2 after this next few days .
Cudgee. 2 bucks for a cup o coffee! If we did the math right , at home by the 12 cup pot we’re paying about 15 cents a cup . We brew with Folgers and do about medium strength. You would save a lot by getting the ALDI machine. We shop there for some food and can save a bit .
Scott ( triple F ) take care of yourself with that Cold .
Bestgear, How’s the new home coming along ? Believe you mentioned it is to be your retirement place.
Have a great day out there !

I’m back! Long weekend at my daughter’s in MN. Birthday celebrations, watched granddaughter’s soccer game, bourbon shopping, good eats.
Been up awhile, coffee seems extra good this AM.
Beautiful day , forecast mid-70’s. But is terribly dry, September record low precipitation. Killing frost later this week.
Work today, plenty of stuff that needs done before I leave on long vacation a week from tomorrow.
Have a great day!

Good Mornin', Folks.
Been to men's prayer meeting this morning, got home, had coffee and breakfast. Miss Joy' is headed out the door for a tooth cleaning at the dentist and some grocery shopping after that.
Weather is still pleasant, 53 this am and 88 yesterday afternoon, still lower humidity. ::tu::
Tried to mow yesterday and it's too dry, going to let it go for a while.
Wish we could have an inch or two of rain, the bushes beside the dirt roads all need their faces washed, everything is brown. :(
Y'all be safe today.

Up most of the night. Back up now & I need to get a shower, get dressed and run some errands. My phone says it's only 39º right now but it's sunny so it will warm up some by noon.
