60 right now...high in the mid to upper 70's.

Mowed yesterday....probably some weed whacking today. Then I've got to write...or, at least, start my report from the Indy trip.

59F clear sky 80F for high.

Out the door for full day of fun...trimming,mowing,dump run,critter food,more mowing.
Today.. couple hours trimming soon,quick trip to town,check game cams,than kick back.
While mowing late afternoon one of the two fawns decided to make stand against the mower,fawn would run out from the woods stop 20' of so in front of the mower puts its head down and tail up... 3 times,than run back into woods join its mother.:confused3:

Well time to get headed outside,least little cooler and less humidity.

Enjoy the day all.

64 going to 85, maybe storms...only a sprinkle yesterday.

Did some string trimming, and mowed again yesterday. Had a red fox hanging around all day. Plan to wear the backpack sprayer around today. Might do some target practice.

RNG, that is a huge fire...hope it rains soon.

Just as I stepped out the door, I heard a great crash and saw part of the forest shaking...checked it out and a large branch had just fallen off a monster oak tree...no wind, and no rain had started falling...just fell out of the blue...very near where I had been backpack spraying poison ivy the other day.

Such things are pretty common out here. Chico State University has many large oaks on Campus, and almost every year someone is badly injured or killed when a limb drops unexpectedly on a sidewalk or parked car. Down in the SF Bay Area, there was a park where I’d ride my mountain bike, and in the parking lot was a huge Valley Oak. All of the area under the tree was roped off to keep people from parking or even walking under it. When I’m out camping, I’m very concious not to put up a tent under trees of any size or kind. Can’t think of a worse way to wake up than the sound of splintering wood, then, nothing?:shocked:

When I was a little boy my sister made a pet out of a rooster. It was jealous because she paid attention to me. As long as she was there it would just get between up but if she was not there I would be running. Finely dad got tired of it and gave it to a very hungry family that lived nearby. My sister was mad and shouted at the little boy, "You ate my rooster" He replied, "No Mam, He runded away." Ed

When we bought our current home 12 years ago, I was a bit surprised to hear a rooster crowing south of us every morning. And it wasn't long before 2 little girls, probably under 10 years of age, came ringing the doorbell one day asking for signatures on a petition to allow them to keep their rooster. This town still has some "country?" places, cattle, horses, goats, etc. But there's also a city ordinance prohibiting roosters; hens are OK, but not a crowing rooster. Anyway, I never heard the rooster again. Personally, I kind of liked hearing the rooster crow; I grew up with that sound, but I guess I can understand some people not liking it.

Thanks Buppies, guys, Have 3 more days of the 6 weeks of antibiotics and then in about a week or two will go in and get tested again. I have had this infection for a couple years and had to wait for it to get bad before they could figure out what it was. Hard to cure because of low blood flow in the prostate. Am much better than I was but not as good as I had hoped. Buppies, Prayers for your surgery and no more spots to work on. Ed

Boy...just reviewed my credit card statement...grrrrrrrrrrrr

The American Airlines flight from Burlington VT to National airport was cancelled due to the heavy weather in the mid-Atlantic area on Tuesday, 24 July. So, the travel agency transferred my flight to United...which had no flights available in the timeframe required. The travel agency then moved me to Delta, which did work out OK.
However, United charged me $908.80 for a flight that wasn't available....I have no idea (at this point) who authorized the charge. Calling United, they have no record of me, or the charge...but it's on my credit card statement.
I've filed a dispute, of course....very frustrating!

Prayers for Ed and Buppies.

Not much done yesterday. Running around, saying goodbyes to friends relocating, moving woman around. Sigh. Have to double up today on the run-in. Window for outside work is small between the heat and rain. Wife now wants concrete floor. I'll frame that out, but will go with original plans first, then if it is not up to snuff, will pull the boards out. Need to "finish" last of framing. Metal should be here by end of next week.

Raw material prices are nuts.

Oh, I need to mow some more grass today. Too wet now, maybe before the rain shows up. LOL.

69 outside right now, heading to mid 80's with increasing chances of rain.

Have a great day all. Be safe.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 55° with bright sun this morning. Heading to 82° with a few clouds. Got fields cut yesterday. While i had bucket and flail mower on tractor. Took a shot at pine stump. Couple of serious pushes with bucket broke it loose. But 2 roots running out from stump are still connected. Plus those roots took down the garden retaining wall. More work to put on list. Not sure which project I am going to tackle today. NASCAR in afternoon.

Deoxit works great on iPhone lighting connectors. 5C did not skip a beat during 3 hours of use. My old 5 iPhone would not charge. Sprayed a little Deoxit on a cotton swab. Used the swab to clean off connector. Then while still wet inserted connector in phone. This morning I hooked up phone to charger. Magic, phone charged. I use these 2 phones to play my music library into headphones. I was ready to throw headphones of iPhone away. Eric your are close on something getting into connector. But I could not see anything. These phones take a beating while in my pocket doing projects. They do not receive or send calls.

RNG, best wishes for your safety during fire season.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.
