I heard Angel Reece quit or got fired. It might be fake news. The baseball lady was a school administrator and did get fired I hear. Another possibility of fake news.

I need to check the antifreeze (or lack of) in the Polara. It came from Arizona and I haven't taken the cap off to see what's inside.
 
Nice 50-degree morning here, dogs and I had a good walk around the place while I shut down the sprinklers. Must have had some deer come through last Nite as the dogs were hot on the trail.

She's a locker room cancer from what I can tell. Addition through subtraction
 
Thanks for the reminder, fired up the 59 Fury yesterday and topped off the fuel for weekend. Checked things out and radiator is a bit low

Haircut at 2. Well I hope to get them all cut including an eyebrow trim. WTF is happening when you get older. I wish I could grow a mustache as full as my eyebrows are. :rofl: :rofl:

Don't forget the ears. My wife keeps noticing little hairs in there now as well. And it hurts to pull 'em out!

We just pull up a chair in the kitchen and fire up the electric shears. Jodi sheep shears me and we are done. Takes about two minutes.

I shave my head everyday, And as long as I am here in the US, I am responsible to trim my mustache. But that's only been 5 months now. When I get to Viet Nam , Lynda wants to always trim my mustache, shave my head, cut my toenails and fingernails, clean out the wax in my ears, Dye the grey out of my mustache, treats my face with creams and lotions everyday. Etc... She is Simply Awesome.....

Hey guys my apple tree is loaded this year and was wondering if now is a good time to harvest them after we had our first frost or wait just a bit longer. It's a honey crisp apple tree.

You live further north so yours will need picked a little earlier. You don't want them to freeze.

AI Overview

Apple Picking Season - Comprehensive Apple Ripening Chart

You should pick apples when they are fully ripe, which varies by variety and local climate but typically occurs from late summer to late fall. To tell if an apple is ripe, it should have a deep color for its variety, its seeds should be brown, and it should detach easily from the tree with a gentle lift or twist. You can also use a local ripening chart for your specific apple variety.

Signs of Ripeness
  • Color: Look for the deep, full color of the variety. Some apples will show a yellow or creamy background color instead of green as they ripen.

  • Ease of Removal: A ripe apple will come off the tree easily with a gentle lift or twist, without needing to be pulled or forced.

    • Seed Color: Cut the apple in half; ripe apples will have brown seeds.
    • Taste: The fruit should be sweet and crisp, not hard or starchy.
    • Falling Fruit: Apples that have started to fall from the tree are often a sign that the rest of the fruit is also ripe.
Factors Influencing Ripeness
    • Variety:
      Different apple varieties ripen at different times; there are early, mid, and late-season apples.
    • Local Climate:
      Weather conditions, including the amount of spring rain and the heat during the summer, can affect when apples ripen each year.
    • Sunlight:
      Apples on the sunny side of the tree tend to ripen faster than those in the shade.
What to Avoid
    • Don't force it:
      If the apple doesn't come off the tree easily, it's not ready and needs more time on the branch.
    • Don't wait for all of them to ripen at once:
      Apples on a single tree ripen at different rates, so you should pick them as they are ready, not all at the same time.

Rule of thumb for me is if they look ripe and come off easily.. they're ready.
