Morning All!

Stopped at the John Deere dealer and picked up more parts for the F915. Hopefully I can get that all buttoned up today. I had to borrow the neighbors zero turn last weekend to get something done. :oops: Maybe we'll get some work done on the car this weekend, maybe not?

Ah, the weather. Awesome all last week and now 7 days in the low 90's. Heading out for an old man basketball practice then hit the lake with the son and family. Seems like I have become acclimated as my feelings tell me it has been a cold spring, only to find it has been a completely normal spring.....gotta move further south.....lol.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Finally had some rain here the last few days so Im going to have to mow today whether I want to or not. Ive been slaughtering northerns the last week but not a single one large enough to legally keep. Next time I'll take my canoe to hit a hard to reach spot. The ponds here get awful weedy by the 2nd week of June so only have a short while to fish them.

Just think, if dand da lions were less common, people would grow them on purpose for their beauty instead of spraying them. :)

Late to the party... worked this morning then planted zucchini, cukes , green beans, lettuce, and onions. Everything is in except for maybe some corn. Just never have luck with it, it grows nice and tall,nice ears then windstorm blows it over. Got the mowing done too. I think I’ll relax for the rest of the evening. Everyone in the coffee house seems busy with the usual projects, take it easy guys and have a good weekend!

Madmen One And All! Nice to see that All of You Coal Curmudgeon's are "Yankin' And A Crankin' " on a pile of various and a sundry amount of Subject Projects and Events! Yes,it sure has gone to " Instant Summer" here in the N.E. Ohio! Come to think of it,I was previously sweating it out at The Bay in the N.W. Ohio too! I want to take a Final Moment to Thank You All for giving me a Digitally Mental Hand in sorting and dealing with the loss of Our Pup. In a way,it's good to get my head and heart caved in by the loss of one tiny four-legged Emissary Of Fur! Let's me know that I haven't "Gone Cold"! If me being unashamedly less than candid about what putting her down did to me,and helps any of You get through Your Situation,then Good.
Also,these Saturday Morning "Eye Opener" posts are owned by All Of You! Freddy,in my wretched mind,will always be Da' Guy who Greets You at Da' Door! I don't care if We've got to put up a cardboard backed Standee of him while he's at North/South Camp,or Bustin' Loose on his Jet Ski as a Truly Nautical Mainah'!! That Skeevy Freetown Fred and I mutate well back in the Galley,along with Warm,D-Frost,Todd and a Host of other KP Participants! It truly takes All of You to make that "Woolrich Blend" taste so Good,along with All of Our "Smash Cadet Favorites" of Der Coalboard Food Variety! Thank You for All the Droppin' In that You do,but especially in Da' Boards Off/Slow Season Saturdays! As the Fabulous Freddy always sez: "Forward We Go,And Don't Forget To Hug Your Loved Ones"!!!
