    It was fine earlier today. Now, it's slow. Painfully slow

    I'm beginning to think that the FHC site host may have a problem with bandwidth for their entire server farm, rather than just this one site. Because it is fine sometimes and slow other times. Maybe they host other sites that draw in a lot of traffic at peak times and it overwhelms their internet connection? Or they suffer denial of service attacks sometimes?

    Administrative is their someone on the site admin team with technical knowledge who could 'interrogate' the site host? If not, could a member here with server farm knowledge and experience step up and talk to them? It would be good to get a 'web-host-server-nerd' talking to another 'web-host-server-nerd' and find out what is going on. And then fix it.

    Dropped (and cleaned up) a basswood that had begun rotting and was helped along by pileated woodpecker. I saved about 20 rounds to be split later on and used for fire pit or shoulder season. I figured to drop it before the leaves bud out. :thumbs:

    Built 12' double steps along one side of the 16' covered deck. The 2' left over on each end of the steps will be used for flower pots and/or hanging baskets.

    Finally gave the truck a bath after getting it stuck in the ditch last thanksgiving storm. Still has mud rinsing off it. :doh:
    One wheel is still grinding bad and looks like the rotor will have to be replaced. Probably end up doing all 4 corners. :makeitrain"
    I'll have to call a few shops today for estimates.


    Also, we burned a huge brush pile mid week while the bans were lifted.

    As tough as you are, it won't take long to heal. Just remember, running, especially on hard surfaces can ruin your joints. Perhaps you should start riding bicycles?! Much easier on the knees, hips, etc.

    I rode my bicycle on my cross train days. I really do enjoy it. Might have to look into that a little more.

    The mosquitos are absolutely brutal this year. Probably the worst I've ever seen. I did a few things outside this morning and got 8 bites.

    The ram's wooden sides were starting to look quite weathered, so I used up a half can of paint I had sitting around.

    Then I filled the truck up.

    I have a feeling that you are probably correct about this. Sometimes it's totally fine. Other times, it's terrible.

    Like Denny said, running is hard on joints, especially knees.
    I'm not a runner. Not with a frame like mine. Some people have the "runner body". I don't, and I won't because it'll tear up joints.
    If I'm running, you better be too.
