Good morning!!!!

RNG stay safe. Wish you had some of our water.

Thanks, Farmer, we could use some of that rain about now. But only some, as the burned areas don't have the trees and grass to hold the dirt in place any longer, and too much rain will start landslides.

Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 6:00AM. 0% Precip. / 0.00 in. Sunny. High 71F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.

Red Flag fire warnings up again for today and tomorrow, with a return of the same north winds that started all the fires Sunday night. Not supposed to be quite as strong this time around though. But containment numbers are still very low for the existing fires, so we could see a lot more damage over the next two days. Sure hope not. Only good thing is that the north wind will help blow the smoke out of here. It was so thick yesterday the sun disappeared an hour before sunset, and there were no clouds overhead.

Sorry about Bella, DS, always hard losing a loyal friend.

All those chips'll make some nice topsoil, RS. How long do you think it'll take?

Hope that leg heals quickly, Randy. Looks nasty!

It was easier to just repaint one of the bag lids than to touch it up, so I did that yesterday. I'll rub it out today and put everything back together, then try to find a place to put the finished saddlebags so they don't get scratched.

Also pulled the bearings out of the rear wheel and bead blasted the hub. Used a super fine 270 grit bead, fine as corn starch, and the hub looks new now. Wish I could say the same for the spokes, as it took off all the rust, but left lots of chrome flakes. I plan to rebuild the wheels with stainless steel spokes and nipples, but not until this winter, so that'll have to do for now.

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Good morning all. 70 this morning going to 77 with an 80% chance of showers. We have had a little over .10 of rain and hope to get more. Mother in law is coming foe her weekly visit and hope to get a little done on the pantry but lately have had more hoping than doing.

Don, There is a frost advisory up in northern TX.

Dab, Sorry to hear about Bella, Praying for you and your family.

Drew, Go ahead and get it you know you need it.

Have a great day, Ed

52°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 66° today. Much more October-ish weather for us today.

We got a fair amount of rain yesterday in the form of off-and-on showers, with some occasional heavy downpours.

Still haven't seen any news story about the house fire in Summerfield yesterday morning. While looking, though, I did find a story about the accident on Old US-50 at Summerfield a couple weeks ago. Apparently, one of the passengers was ejected and died. 37 years old. Wear your seat belts, kids.

69° and light rain.

72 and raining, hooray! Should get up to 78.

Thunderstorms started about 10pm and came through all night. We are close to 5 inches now...Farmer, I think your rain moved over here. Finally got a chance this morning to check whether my roof flashing caulk repair worked...no moisture detected on the ceiling Looking forward to hiking down to the creek after it gets light to see if our creek is flowing again. Also will check to see if the close lightning strike around midnight hit any trees along my trail. It was a loud one.

DABSGT, Sorry to hear Bella is gone. Hope you consider getting another pup soon.

Randy, how's your leg today?

Don, isn't it a real motivator to get work done when you know you are going to have company?

it seems to be healing OK but Lynn insisted I go see my doctor so I知 going at 11:15.

Woke to a nice rain this morning m first real rain in a couple of weeks. The high for the day was early this morning, upper 60’s now and damp with a northeast wind.

63F and overcast @ 10:45, had 0.11 inches of rain since midnight. Looking at the radar, that's probably all we'll get this time around. High today predicted to be 69F.

Still trying to figure out what's on the menu today ...
