Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

76.8F and partly cloudy @ 09:00 with a current dew point of 73F , supposed to be mostly cloudy today with a high of 88F ... low probability of rain tho' ...

Got some more welding and grinding done on the soil screen frame yesterday, was 73F/16% RH in the shop when I got up there ... felt pretty good.

Picked up a couple of those Zirconia flap discs at HF while I was out yesterday, be interesting to how much better they are than the regular ones. Also ran by and paid the lawn guy while I was in town.

Then headed over to the clinic and got the last of my teeth extracted ... 12 in one shot. They had me so numb I couldn't even feel my nose ... :laughing:

All in all it went pretty well ... there was only one tooth which was problematic ... one of the root tips was shaped like a bulb and enclosed by bone ... the rest of the tooth broke off when he tried to pull it. Ended up having to grind out some of the jaw bone to get it out ... but he eventually did. Looking at gumming it for around 6 to 8 weeks while my mouth heals up, before I get fitted for dentures. Just taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen ... not really much pain at this point ... hope it stays that way.

Did find out that Menards is opening another store up in Cuyahoga Falls ... might be a little closer than the one in Massillon.

Lawn needs mowed, but I'm not sure if I'm really up for it. Also not sure if I want to be up in the shop breathing all that grinding dust either. Just have to see how I feel as the day progresses.

76 this morning and headed to 97 today. Currently 83. Heat index above 105 and heat advisory out.

Have to migrate chickens and move cows. Wife is wanting me to work on the bathroom closet and install the organizer. So that sounds like a cool enough job for today. Also need to set up sprinklers in the garden. Got it sprayed yesterday and before spraying I checked some seeds and they were swelled but not sprouting and were out of moisture.

Drew. We always used the 4 or 6 inch corrugated field tile cut to about 8 inches and split one side. Then slip around tree.

The low temperature has been about the same for the last few weeks. In the low 50's, the same today 51*. The high was 83* yesterday.
The forecast for today is about the same. We did get a shower some time last night. Doesn't look like it amounted to much..

Making a trip to town today. May work on a neighbors fence, if I can get the chainsaw running when I get back. She has about a dozen poles that needs replaced.

Hope everyone has a nice day.

RNG,

TSC has gotten pretty proud of some (most) of their chemicals ... I couldn't believe how much glypho had gone up the last time I bought it.

The next time I have to buy any I'll probably make the trip to Rural King (45 - 50 minutes away) since it's not all that much further in terms of time and it is much cheaper there ($32 for 2 1/2 gallons ?)

Let us know if the pond/marking dye helps at all.

69F this morning, headed to mid 80s.

Coffee tastes good this morning, grand daughter got into preschool 3 days per week (6:30-11:30). She loves it so far, hopefully it stays that way. Wife and daughter both impressed with facility and people so far.

Rural king had generic roundup on sale. Cal probably will ban it soon.

94° in the shade at 11am.

I hooked up the sprayer to the tractor and spent a couple of hours assasinating weeds, my new electric divirter valve works great, now I can flip the switch and change from boom to wand and not have to get off the tractor!:thumbsup: It was 90 with heat index of 98 at 11 when I finished.

68°F and .5 inches rain and coming down. Good, we need it.

Off to Hilo, breakfast, errands, pickup my prescription.

Be safe
Have a great day

figs anyone? a neighbor's established tree, not mine
first apple got a brown spot, was pretty unripe.

very pleased to see today that my third out of three fig trees has finally sprouted green.
I hand weeded for about an hour this morning in the sun and had to call it quits.
Then I watered everything so as to weather these super hot days.
And then I powerwashed another fifty feet of fence and ground up some junk in the chipper.
Then back inside for a long shower, and even then hard to cool off.
Temp in office about 77, won't get down any lower. 96 and direct sun out. Downstairs I could have a meat locker but upstairs no.
Thankfully there is a big ceiling fan over my head keeping me comfortable.

I bet Farmer's fans are running like mad. It's hot out there....
Cool spot seems to be in Hawaii.

RS, sorry you had to go through that. Sounds dreadful. Sounds like you are going to be the taste tester of
all the apple sauce out there for a little while. Cottage cheese. Maybe a slice of the cherry pie I have cooking right now.
Which reminds me to go down and check on it. Turns off when done but you never know.

The deer came along one night a few days back and pretty much ate my apple tree, it had over thirty apples, now there are three, just about all new growth eaten.
