Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

1/2" of rain in 30 minutes just after sunset yesterday. Ruined my plans for an early mowing. So I went and finished a job for mom that I started yesterday. Now it's time to mow. Have a good day folks.

Mid-80's today, they said sun, all I see is clouds. Hazy and humid.

I'll be inside painting in the day light.

72 F, 1.58 inches since midnight, remnants of Gil, sun tweaking thru

Have to dry out before I do anything, might be a lazy day LOL

Our farmer dug a few purple sweet potatoes yesterday for us.
Sliced 1 thin and fried on grill - yum
Added one to my Vitamix hash for breakfast - yum

Have a great day.

Would love to see what 140 inches rain per year does to that porous asphalt

That pool tile show looks nice - good job

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.)

Don, I'd love to see pics of your shade project. I've been looking at shade solutions myself but I can't really afford anything expensive. You won't believe what some of the professional companies charge for a 40x40 playground shade canopy. $$$ I told them "No, I can buy a finished barn for that much"....

Kyle, I'm trying to round things up this week. I'm looking for five 16-20 foot poles to put 4' in the ground - I have to make it high for volleyball. The triangle sun shades I'm looking at is this one. I'll need three. (scroll down to see the shades above a pool) I'll post a pic if I can get-r-done.

Standard pipe length is 21 ft I think, should be readily available.

Thanks David! My pipe search is on. is schedule 40, 2" galvanized water pipe heavy enough?

Our high today was 102˚ so much for the cold front pushing through at noon.

I see lightning in the far East, I hope one of those showers hits here.
