MEMORIAL DAY!

James stopped by last Friday and stayed for dinner

More rain coming in for Saturday.

The Turkeys didn't come back this week, just as well, they tend to crap all over the place.

Stopped over Mom & Dads, dropping groceries off, Nance said they needed a new dryer, dryers generally don't just stop working, she said the dryer was taking way too long to dry clothes. Outside I found a very clogged dryer vent screen, cleaned it out, should be good now.

Filled the windshield washer on my car, it's crazy that cars now tell you when its getting low.

I'll look for a new knob for dads AC unit, his knob is missing.

I did some mowing the front, side and deer-yards and a small section of field, it just started raining when I stopped.

There's still a lot of standing groundwater around, many areas will need to wait for mowing.

We've got thunderstorms rolling through at 8PM Saturday night.

Deer are coming in early evenings lately

Fox came through the deer-yard Friday morning early

Getting Old! I'd appreciate it if this weather improved, the storms play havoc with the arthritis and bad knees and along with everything you love becoming a "classic," vintage, oldie, or retro. I suppose it happens to all of us...

Worked on the big windmill in the field, bearings are gone for the blades, got the old bearings out, the new bearings I bought won't fit, remeasured, and ordered new bearings that'll arrive tomorrow.

Noticed 4 or 5 signs in Merrimack for various companies selling Mosquito treatments (Mosquito Squad, Mosquito Joe's, Mosquito Pros NH), these folks houses are in the woods, do they really believe they can stop mosquito's from coming into the yard? Anyone with experience?

Sunday grabbed the farm jack and chain, pulled a t-post out of the ground in the field.

Mowing is on the agenda this week

Monday evening we got the replacement bearings from Amazon to fit the windmill, they fit like a glove! I got them installed pretty quickly with just a light sanding of the shaft. We fed the deer and I put the windmill head back up. We'll work on leveling the tower and securing the head better this weekend.

Pretty weird weather pattern other than all the rain, temps are 92 degrees one day and 43 the next.

Rose went food shopping Folgers is $15.99 now! Wow

They're saying Thursday there's a Nor'easter coming in, oh great! Expecting 1.4" of rain expected with 30MPH winds...

An officially reported bird flu case in a human being has not been reported in three months. That is leaving scientists and the mainstream media pondering the reason.

Rose made up a nice strawberry shortcake with strawberries, blueberries and peaches, wicked good!

Rose checked the basement Thursday so far were good. We'll have to check it again on Friday morning.

Rose planted a bunch of plants Saturday

We went over to Jarrod and Crystal's for Crystals birthday dinner, she got a cake from Fredrick's that was the best I'd ever had.

Sunday I got the mower deck off the older tractor, used the impact wrench to remove the blades of course one blade took some liquid wrench and some carefully timed swearing to get it off. I figured out why the belt keeps coming off, one of the idler pulley shafts had pulled out of the mower deck, we got that sorted out and it all went back together. -Done! Took longer than expected! As always...

We came into the house Sunday to find once again one of Rose's teapot lids somehow popped off a teapot and smashed on the floor, we've no idea how this keeps happening, spooky though.

Memorial Day! We finally got some sun today! It was pretty nice the whole day. We checked the sump pump pits, they were dry! Yay! We pulled the sump pumps. Potatoes, Onions and hot dogs filled out the menu for the day.

Rose did the mowing on Tuesday place looks great mowed.

Winston found a bee in the house Tuesday evening, he wasn't acting like he got stung, I found the dead bee on the floor Wednesday morning.

The deer have been cleaning up all the Wildlife Grains mix we put out. They like the Wildlife block we'd put out too.

Couldn't believe all the birds flying about on Tuesday evening, Sparrows, Red Winged Blackbirds, Blue Jays, Bluebirds, Crows, Mourning Doves, Pigeons and Swallows filled the sky, everyone was chattering.

Thinking I'll put in more mosquito dunks this weekend, if it ever dries up enough.

The “presidency” of Joe Biden is one of the greatest scandals in American history. The legacy media is only now covering the mental incapacity of a president who apparently left the entire ship of state to the unaccountable bureaucracy.

Inflation slows to 2.3%, marking lowest rate since 2021 as Trump policies reverse Biden-era price surges

The idea that Democrats have until now been taking the high road is one of the biggest of Big Lies we've ever heard.
Let’s Face It, Dems Have Always Been ‘Dark Woke’

JUST IN: President Trump Announces BIG Rally on May 30 to Celebrate Massive Investment in US Steel – Partnership with Nippon Steel will “Create at Least 70,000 jobs, and Add $14 Billion Dollars to the U.S. Economy” AMERICAN MADE is BACK. I will see you all at US Steel, in Pittsburgh, on Friday, May 30th, for a BIG Rally.

Trump is like the gift that keeps giving in this area. Everything Trump does -- or even considers -- is a coming apocalypse that must be fought to save us all.

But regardless of the current impending doom, the Democrat party is the only solution to stave off the end of everything. Power, money, freedom, your children -- all must be granted to the government to save us.

Nope. Not remotely. When the prediction of doom doesn’t happen, they only become more certain of their cause! Being completely and utterly wrong only makes them believe even more!

Dems are impervious to facts. Impervious to feedback. Impervious to any and all things that don’t support their ideas. Feedback loops don’t work with these cults because there is no feedback possible -- just blind allegiance to the cult and its beliefs. Pesky facts that don’t conform to their thinking are simply ignored.

These failures will perhaps cause the loss of a few newer members who haven’t been fully indoctrinated, but for those who have a significant emotional commitment to the beliefs of the cult, it only makes them more certain of their righteousness.

This is a key feature of the Democrat party. Being wrong on a whole cornucopia of things doesn’t erode their belief in these things but only strengthens their emotional commitment to these provable bad ideas. This of course stops the cult from learning and adapting to feedback. But it is what it is.
