Good Morning!!!! 75F @ 4:00AM. Abundant sunshine. High 96F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Smoke lifted just enough yesterday evening to see some blue in the sky, but still very unhealthy levels. I think 2020 will be remembered as the year of the mask. Seems like I've got one on anytime I'm outside the house now.
That's not good news, Phil, but at least the weather is cooperating.
Could more wind chimes be in Boo's future, Thomas? Hope your time at the dirt gym ls limited going forward.
I don't think women my age in bikinis is anything to look forward to, Kyle.:laughing:
Congrats on the wins, Rich. Did they let fans attend?
Welcome back, SC. I have friends in Salmon Arm, and enjoyed my one visit with them a few years ago.
I'm hopin' for only good news at the hospital for you today, Drew. And another easy time with the chemo. :crossfingers:
Hope you don't find any rocks in them holes, Don.
That was quick work on clearing that brush, RS. Looks a lot nicer!
I think a significant portion of my electric bill is going to pay PG&E's legal staff for their bankruptcy proceedings.

ullinghair: But if the last month is any indication, I should be able to stay below Baseline usage, and the current rate plan looks to be a better deal. Sure will be nice when the smoke clears, though, as it looks like it's stopping about 20%-30% of the sunlight from reaching the panels.
Oregon mechanic was out yesterday, so maybe I'll hear back from him today.
Followed up on a few other purchases that are having delivery issues, learning that one place dropped the ball entirely and didn't even have an order in place. Now their equipment is broken for another three weeks. Good thing I'm not in any hurry, but I didn't tell them that. Waiting to hear back on email inquiries on the others.
Still finding devices that haven't been switched over to the new WiFi network; yesterday it was the Yamaha stereo receiver. Had to get the manual out, which had a slick way of using the iPhone to set it back up. Took two tries, but now it's back to normal. I guess Einstein was wrong about repeating something and expecting a different result.
My buddy is still dodging evacuation orders down south, but the closest fire line hasn't advanced. He's getting to work, so for now he's still a happy camper.
The new network wire showed up yesterday, so I'll see if I can't get a new run pulled out to the generator pad today. Worked OK last time, but this wire is a little stiffer and a little bit bigger in diameter.
Still haven't figured out the best way to approach the garage reorganization. Looks like I may just have to chip away at it, spreading it out so there's more time to let things sort themselves out in my mind.
The batch of spaghetti and meatballs I started in the Instant Pot last night smells pretty good this morning.:licking:
Hump Day already?

:confused3:
