Good morning friends, come on in and sit a spell as we always have good conversation here at Freddy’s.
Griddle is hot and ready for your order.
I’m finally back to normal after battling something that definitely kicked my ass for 14 hrs on Friday, i was a prisoner in the bathroom for almost 6 hrs expelling from both ends, felt better yesterday evening and after a good night sleep I'm just about 100% just a little weak still. Camping this weekend at Alum creek SP with a lot of friends ( we have the whole loop but 2 sites) now its time to make up for missing a gorgeous Friday.
Have a great weekend friends, stay safe during these crazy times😞, and like Freddy always said” forward we go”

Morning all!

This week I had to turn the radiant floor loop back on and bump the thermostats up a little. Mornings were like late Winter rather than Mid-Spring! That's a good thing though, the Axeman enjoyed the extra work. :yes:

Even with that chill, stuff is growing like crazy down here. Time to do some work on the mowing equipment.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Wind and rain here... seems to be the new normal. OK I'll say it, it was a rotten cold windy crappy April. Goodbye April, I wont miss you!

So I'll see what trouble I can find indoors to get into today. Keep, sounds like a case of hotdog flu to me. Glad it left quickly.

Good Mornin',Coal Critters!! Barry,Thanx For Kickin' Da' Door In At Freddy's!! If I've been nothing,then my minimum label has been "Lazy"!! Time for a change! Spring has been a wee bit "Daft" in the N.E.Ohio! About the only qualified observation I have is that we're so behind,we've avoided the dreaded April "Killer Frosts & Freezes" that can plague Us! Speakin' of Plagues,as nothing in Da' Fruit Tree World has issued blossoms! Yep,it seems the "Cleveland Crud"(Upper Respiratory Barf) and the "Heave Ho We Go"(Keepa-Barry- Described Dat' One!" has been circulating! I've been fortunate not to be visited by either of these Insidious Crud Monsters! Away and Ahead,please do what You can to make it "Your Way Today!! Like Our Founding "Mainah-Freddy" taught Us- "Don't Forget To Hug Your Loved Ones!" Coupled with what Barry already reminded Us with:"Forward We Go!" As always,Warmest Regards,Hot Messes and a rather Healthy "Take Care,Gang!"

Good morning. The boys are at a hockey tournament with their mom down in Jersey, and I am home with the dog doing homework and odd jobs. Maybe I will get the old Honda 300 out for a ride.

I shut the EFM down yesterday so I can vacuum it out and get a wiring project completed. The heat pump is keeping the house warm, but the floors are sure cold.

Good deal Keep, glad your feeling better. Thanks for the opening. Pouring rain here at the moment. I’m not doing much of anything today. I need a break been, cleaning up and mulching all the flower beds. Getting the yard in shape, next up garden time. Off and on rain all week oh well. Carry on fellows and have a great week!

Deere 997 test out day. Endless chores. My vet has long covid so I will try out sheath cleaning myself it is needed.... dont ask. Raging toothache, right knee pain is getting much worse. Just about over food poisoning that leveled me for a week and I ended up in ER. The attending (Indian) doc and I got talking. he said I was taking on way too much. I said if I could take the nurse home that gave me the ECG it would help. He said get in line and you are not the strongest candidate right now.... and these are the golden years? I haven't had this much fun since I got my foot caught in the washing machine
