Good morning!!!!

Drew which Doors album?

I have a best of, which I suppose is cheating.
As the pelting rain bears down on me, and I'm
hurrying back to the barn,
I can be humming "Riders on the Storm"

never got to the Kubota today, instead mowed the steep hill with my Gravely and boy does
that thing give me a workout. And one million gazillion grasshoppers jumped on me.

Afternoon all. I have office relief today and had to come in early. I am just now getting around to booting up. Got most of the front mowed yesterday. Last week when I got my new mp3 player from Newegg, I was excited about trying it out on the tractor. I found out the only way you could hear it at all was to press the earbud into your ear with your finger. Only have two hands, and have to use one of them to steer, so that wasn't what I had hoped for. Then I saw a pair of Sony sports earbuds on Newegg for $10 with a $10 MIR. If the rebate works, they will only cost me the $2.99 shipping. Got them in on Wednesday and tried them out yesterday. They have a soft rubber or plastic collar that seals out much of the tractor sound. I was able to hear Robert Earl Keen sing 'Not a Drop of Rain' as I dodged thundershowers. Had two pretty big thunderstorms in the afternoon. It rained an inch and a half.

We were supposed to get 1"-2" of rain today, it's been in the 90's and humid and sunny all day! You never know.

Got another hour of mowing, been sprinkling on and off all afternoon

My tractor shed expansion saga continues. Checked with HD and can't say definitively if my doors are on a boat yet, but they did make it to the consolidator.

So, no doors, but my openers arrived today. Opted for 2 CHAMBERLAIN WD962KEV 3/4 HP GARAGE DOOR OPENER BATTERY BACKUP MyQ TECH off ebay. Free shipping, no tax, $35 each cheaper than same unit at HD. Now if I only had something to open. LOL

Good Morning! 81˚before sunrise, the hottest morning of the year!!!! A northern cool front will be here by noon and we are looking at a high of only 98˚, Yea!!!! Best of all the north wind will push this African dust into the Gulf of Mexico.

This string of 100˚ and scorching sun did a job on my pool vinyl liner. Right above the water line where the water does not cool it and the sun reflects off the water the vinyl burned and turned brown on the east side of the pool. Yesterday we fixed it with 43 - 4'X9" vinyl adhesive tiles.

Today I looking into placing thee 20'X20'X20' shade sails using 5 poles to shade the pool. This will be a fun project.

(The pictures below show the completed project before adding water, the tiles need to cure 24 hours.)

Cloudy and very heavy outside this morning with more rain and t-storms on the way high in the 80s. Got another 1/2 in of rain yesterday got soaked at work but still got done. The job we did yesterday was installing a new product that the producer or our company had ever installed, it's called porous asphalt and is placed on 57s which is a very unstable base. Water runs thru the asphalt not over it more environmentally friendly.

Poured my second cup of coffee. 58° with clouds this morning. Heading to 76° with mostly sunny skies all day. Bike riding on local trails and some more visiting with good friends.
Jim: Will put it on our to do list for next spring.
Drew: No problems with the drive. Every one parks on the lawn. Pads are recommended but not required.
Good Morning All.

Buppies, good morning. No way that would work in a freeze-thaw area like us, wouldn't the ice wreck the surface?
Now in a Southern state, sounds like a good way to make an impervious surface somewhat porous.
