Morning folks,

It's getting warm over here. Should get up in the 90's next week. ::doh:: Gotta go into town latter and get rid of our old fridge. We finally got a new one. Then I have to pull up some weeds around my flowers & trees. Then maybe a short nap after lunch and make some cigarettes towards the evening. That's about it. :D

Have a good one friends,

Morning Tom, plain Dave and David, you all are at it early.
And Good Morning to the rest of FCD.
Heading out to the car shop in a few ,a little last minute prepping ,stop and put some high octane fuel in the newer cars,get the old Locomobile checked over and then head to Altoona park for the first Car show here in over a year. Talked with a few guys and gals this week,sounds like it’ll be a big turnout. And the weather is great. Wife is meeting us there and then we’ll grab something to eat and settle in for a day of hot rods, classics, muscle cars, and I suspect a whole lot of BS.
Cudgee,that’s a lot of Fences for dingoes,didn’t realize there was a problem with them .
Well better get rolling,you all have a great Weekend,get the grille out, go see a old friend,whatever’s on your agenda ,hope you have a good one ::tu::

Good morning. JP, sounds like a fun day. Nothing's happening here. I'm taking our 10X20 tent over to Jane's girlfriend's house for two of the friends grand daughter's grad. parties. Then home again to try to keep my new seeded grass alive. The lawn is starting to look really nice but it's been hot and dry and our sandy soil doesn't support grass without a lot of effort. The full canopy of trees doesn't help much either. It looks like we are in for a nice weekend. Have a great one.____Dave

Anyways, good luck with your grass Dave. ::handshake:: :D

Mornin' folks. It is an early crowd this morning. I'm going to a meeting of local collectors about noon today. We'll have a burger or such and show and tell. It is usually a lot of fun.
Hope you all have a good day today.

Top of the morning to you all!!
I just rolled out of bed by a big clap of thunder as the storms pass through.
I was going to mow today, but that won't be happening now. I guess I will
just relax today and maybe watch a good old western movie. Have a great
weekend everyone and be a blessing to someone.... :D

My, an early bunch this morning. Coffee is extra good today.
Have to say I’m a bit proud of myself. A week or so ago I was trying to “fix” a leaky sink drain with silicone. Well, that didn’t work. So off to Menards for new sink and needed plumbing parts. Sink was easy, glass vessel one just like the old one on sale for $25. Then to the plumbing aisle for the pop up drain. I stand there like dumb blonde (I’m a redhead) and “help” comes, gives me the wrong kind. Thank goodness I read the package and found the right kind myself. Then I’m trying to figure out what connector I need, a different “help” comes to the rescue. (Not! More later).
Ready to work, can’t find a wrench to loosen old connections, borrowed the necessary large stuff.
Can’t get it loose, WD40, try later, nope, more WD40, yesterday morning easy off. Ready to put sink in place, nope. The second Menards “help” gave me the wrong kind. Off to the local hardware store, get the right connector.
Success! Everything fits and nothing leaks.
Lesson learned, don’t listen to “help” even if they act like they know.
The irony of all of this is the instructions (?) with the sink “This is a 2 person job, do not attempt by 1 person”. Well, this 75 yr old lady did it by myself!

Nice day today, 80’s, sunny, slight breeze but I have to work☹️☹️

Thanks! I like a good challenge, tis good for the soul. Next up, new shower head. In the past I have replaced toilet innards and fixed a leaky kitchen faucet. Maybe I should have been a plumber?

A late Good Mornin' to y'all!
Been busy and didn't take time to check in. :oops:
Coffee, breakfast, devotions, paper work to the Florida Forest Service, tie up some wandering tomato limbs, got Miss Joy off to the post office to mail my FFS stuff and then time to sit and do AAPK.
Had a decent 0.3" shower yesterday, regular liquid sunshine for Florida. Just lookin' for small things to keep me going till I can start using my right arm. Took time yesterday to look in a box of knives I hadn't opened in a year or so, just like Christmas morning! ::tu::
Oh yeah, the bee-man paid his rent yesterday. We found a box with a dozen containers of honey on the porch yesterday after nap!

Good Sunday Mornin', Folks.
Cudgee, the honey is mighty good on anything that need sweetening!
We are experiencing 70 degree weather this morning after a typical day that got to 92 yesterday. The relative humidity is 97%, up where the meteorologist will use the professional term, "sticky". Looks like we'll be having some more rain showers during the day and there is a "thing" down in the Gulf that may get the name of Bill if it keeps coming to the north. Hey, get over it, we live in Florida! :roll:
Church in a couple of hours and then Miss Joy is cooking a birthday dinner for the sweet lady that helps her on Thursdays. She always stays for dinner when we fry venison so you know what the meat will be for today. I got 2 big vacuumed bags of venison ham from the freezer in the shop last night to thaw out, now we need to season it and get it back in the fridge before breakfast. Another of our friends is bringing her a carrot cake so we shouldn't be hungry this afternoon!
Y'all have a great day and maybe we'll see you at church this mornin'! :)

Mornin' guys and gal. I just rolled out of the sack and I can't seem to get the fog out of my head. I'll do a run through in the shower in a few minutes then be off to church.
Hope you all have a blessed day today.
