    The sinuses seem fine today (bad yesterday) and the coffee is done so it will be a much better day today.

    Yesterday the temp was 55 when we had coffee, this morning were at 73 already.

    Good morning, pretty good thunderstorms this morning, lots and lots of rain.
    I get to work again today, 12 1/2 of 'em covering MRI (the schedule book was pretty lite when I checked yesterday) and babysitting a new girl in CAT Scan.
    Hope this finds you good people well.

    I went outside so I could work but didn't feel great in the humidity (72 percent) so I moved one load of Cherry to the splitting area and called it a day.

    I still feel 100 percent better than yesterday.

    Yup, radar looks nasty for your area. Should be short-lived though.

    The Potsdam NY area has a few trees and some power lines down, they're north of us.

    So far this weather is staying north and south of us, we're getting some rains but not enough.

    foggy this morning on our walk but it looks like it will turn into a beautiful sunny day. Weather forecast is for clouding up and showers tonight. We will see what will happen.

    Is he breaking the bolts just loading the machine up so much or is he clobbering small trees and abandoned automobiles? I'm a fan of slip clutches in a PTO driveline but you have to be careful with them. If you don't loosen them up and break 'em loose after storing them for awhile, they rust solid and don't protect the gearbox like they should.

    Bolt 1 was frame bolt.. to hold frame to high hitch of 3 point... bolt 2 was shear in shaft..... just going to fast and hitting bumps he was in right gear just in high range instead of low... 50 hp Kubota with 6 foot brush bull brush hog behind at 3200 rpm for PTO... figure he was going close to 20 instead of 2 mph... he said he popped it back to 2wd from 4wd and put in high stead of low range....


    Great kid (37) got some learning challenges but good heart!

    Tornado warning in the northern part of the state - Coos county got really strong winds with damage, but no tornado sightings so might be straight line winds. According to the local TV channel, "The radar indicated that there was rotation in the storm, but there was no report of a tornado on the ground."

    The bad weather hasn't even gotten to Southern NH yet. Prediction is for severe weather. Hopefully it won't do any damage and brings cooler weather!
