70 going to 74...but still feels a little humid outside.

Kyle, what a day...congrats to the proud father of that knight! You'll have to get used to calling him Sir Son.

David, I had the same thought Eric had...an excuse to buy another drone as a rescue drone. It wasn't until the last pic that I got a good perspective on just how big that tree is.

Ed, If you are looking at buying new, Bass Pro and Green Top are both running good sales on their firearms and handgun vaults this weekends. Hanover is probably too far for you to drive but I'd be glad to check prices for you...or they might have their sales on their web sites.

Spent a couple hours up a tree. Yesterday i managed to stick my drone in a tree about 46 ft above the ground. This morning we went back to recover. My extension ladder got me to a nice sturdy branch about 16 ft up. No way i could make it up to location. After a few attempts, my extendable paint pole with extended pole pool plus wife痴 handicap sock aid (has hook) resulted in a pole 30+ ft that i managed to thread thru upper branches and eventually dislodge drone. Couldnt believe how well it was caught. Glad i was able to sit on that branch rather than balance on the ladder, but all that arms over head stuff took its toll. I was toast by the time we finished.

I think this is 2nd, not final pole.

So, no mowing/bushhogging today. Tomorrow.

David - Though I love climbing trees this picture has about convinced me to NOT get a drone. Or if I do make sure I have ALL my tree climbing gear available for retrieval. I'd want to be hooked in on 3 points.
My older bones don't bounce as well as they used to :)

Drinking first cup of coffee. 39° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 58° with chance of afternoon rain. Got my haircut that should I should have gotten over a month ago. That was about all I got done. My body spent the day reminding I had overdone it the day before. Cut the lawn before rain comes in afternoon. Then make sure all tools and material are ready for sons arrival tomorrow.

Kyle, your son is a Knight. Good accomplishment. Glad you were able get all the projects completed.

David, if that was my drone up in the tree. It would have to stay there until next hurricane came along. Well, unless I found a young volunteer that would do it.

Drew, nice coating job. Are you taking the extra pails of coating back to Lowes.

Good Morning All.

Drew, i suspect the smaller blades might have left an interesting pattern.

they sure did, think about the uncut area between the blades, sure explained the mohawk strips I was leaving in the lawn.
I'm going to try it out again today with the new gator blades after the morning dew has dried.
If it still clumps, will likely sell the mower. Expensive lesson.

Another hot and nice day today, 70 going to 91, with thunderstorms this afternoon.
I have a small amount of mowing to do, most of which I can do in the a/c Kubota.
I also need to start taking down the garden but that can wait until a cooler day. It's not going anywhere...;)

Hope Roy is doing ok and gets home fine today.

David, be careful...you are unlikely to bounce well.
If you are going to get that thing stuck in your trees, might I suggest you get some long poles ready for next time, with a hook of some kind on
the end. Better the pole go up there than you.

Randy, sorry the pain is still there. I think you got it worse than many, usual wisdom is two to three weeks.
Must be because you are such a sensitive individual. ;)
I think the three week projection is only if the rash doesn't occur, the pain is still there, but once it breaks to the surface,
clearly it takes longer to heal because I guess it was stronger to begin with.
I really hope that shot works for me, can't imagine overlaying shingles on top of my other issues.

Flu shots were free at my pharmacist, they are free for anyone in Beaufort County.
Shingrix though clearly costs the pharmacy more than they are paid by insurance, so they are charging what they have to
to make a buck. Since demand exceeds supply, I don't see that changing soon. I think the Vidant hospital chain is going google eyed over the prospects of being out of pocket say 50 bucks for each senior in their system that qualifies, if they give it out for free as part of normal care.
Curious how this works for others.

You really ought to get this shot, and from my experience, need to get on waiting list.
