Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 43.2 and climbing. Just getting back from the fishing hole. Decided to make an early morning attempt since fishing yesterday afternoon was a bust.
1930 hrs found me still outside on the pressure washer. All the weed spraying and moss killing in the yard was done, but the moss crop on the North side of the house and the driveway was being particularly "resistant to change." Then I had to go out to the farm and check on mother and see how things are NOT going out there.
Still have some to finish some pressure washing up this morning / afternoon. The new replacement to the replacement pressure washer is doing a nice job and, so far, working as advertised and not blowing O rings or surging like the one I took back was doing.

Hi John!
Just a fly by. Clouds moved in this afternoon and we have rain showers throughout the area. Haven't had one here yet. Have some treatment on the driveway and the N. wall of the garage sprayed down with house wash soap and soaking. Need to get back out and get everything sprayed off before the rain hits so I don't have to go out in the rain and do it. I'm sure that if the rain hits here, there won't be enough to do the job.

Howday all.........we had beautiful weather the last couple of days....If this keeps up, I'll have to spray weeds and start mowing the lawn. Supposed to rain tomorrow........we could use the moisture...
Helped my cousin Friday, and likely back again to help Monday.....I'm afraid he is getting behind again.
Went to another auction yesterday, kept my hands in my pocket this time, bit my wife couldn't resist a few small items.....they fit in the cab, so that left all of the pickup bed to haul my friend's puchases, after he filled his pickup.....saved him a return trip.
Enjoy your Monday.............

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Started raining about 15-20 minutes after my last "fly by post". Kept trying to get things done, failed on some of it, got soaking wet anywhere not covered by the hip boots.
Going to take a hot shower, eat dinner and decide how many "toddy's for the body" I need to consume before delving into what appears to be around 40 pages of government red tape and paperwork that I got yesterday and they want filled out and sent back/in their hands no later than April 8th.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 39° with some heavy rain squalls. About 0330 it was coming down so hard it woke me up and sounded like someone bouncing shotgun pellets off of the house. Blue sky right now, but a nasty dark gray squall line moving this way from the west.
Got most of the government paperwork filled out. Just a couple of things to look out. Copies to make for myself and then I can send it off and be done with it. I was wrong on the 40 pages though. There was only 38 pages.
