Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 5:00AM. Abundant sunshine. High 81F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Wow! The ten-day forecast shows rain coming in Saturday, with more falling every day through the next weekend. Looks like I'll finally get a chance to clear away some of the inside job backlog.:thumbsup:
Rifle range, Buppies? You've got my attention!
Beautiful, calm morning yesterday, so I was out early practicing my "O"s and figure eights with the drone. Hadn't done any figure eights before that, and they're very good for forcing you into the viewpoint of the drone if you're going to keep left sorted from right. Going slow helps a lot, and there's a Cinema mode that really slows down the control response that helps, too. And it's really nice that the drone will do what's needed to hold a constant altitude, all by itself. Also got the still shots taken of the trenches, something I'd forgotten to do in all the excitement of the previous flights. And I'm still excited enough that I forgot to take any video this time around, or mark time to see how long the battery lasts.:confused2:
I did remember to make a call to arrange a gravel delivery; I think I have 40 cu. yd. showing up at 8:30 this morning. We'll see.
Finished up the forms, got the rebar cut and tied, and poured both pads for the propane tank yesterday. First time in a loooooong time I've done anything like that, and I couldn't find my edging tool. Sort of made do forming a little bevel with a trowel, but I don't think anyone will notice.:laughing: Bought 20 bags for the job and only used 17, and wasn't too tired afterwards, even though it was the end of the day. Looking at that picture, if I'd have filled up the space between the two pads, and done that four times, I'd have the generator pad done. So now I'm giving some thought to using bagged concrete instead of self hauled ready mix for the generator pad. Depends on cost at this point.
Yesterday's video on CoVid-19 made it sound like pretty much everyone is going to get it. Since it can last so long outside the body, and has such a long incubation time, once it gets into the postal service, the mail person will be infecting everyone on his/her route. I've steamed envelopes before to open them, but not to sterilize them. I wonder if you can still buy steam machines, or if, like toilet paper, they're sold out everywhere?:confused2: But maybe I don't need one: The fancy drier I bought ten years ago has a steam cycle! And the mail will come out wrinkle free.:laughing:
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
