Good Morning!!!! 65F @ 4:00AM. Sunny. High 89F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Breezy day yesterday, but with a high of 80F, working outside felt good in a long sleeve t-shirt. Looks like more of the same today.
Got the last pallet loaded with manzanita yesterday, but after four sets of batteries, both the Makita saw and I were too tired to get them loaded into the container. Went through a huge pile of the stuff, biggest one yet, thinking I'd have lots left over, but only two sticks remained. Lots went into the scraps, lots onto the burn pile. Still have lots of ground to clear, but without buying another container, it looks like I'll just buck the wood and stack it. First, though, I'll put some gravel down and give it a good dose of Fipronil insecticide to keep the termites at bay.
Kubota side-by-side repair went as planned, with all the parts fitting properly and not finding anything else broken. Used up the last of some special BMW antifreeze left over from when I had a car from them; nice to get that shelf space back. Never throw anything away! Temperature gauge stayed on cold on a test run up to the mail box, and no leaks underneath, so that job looks like it's done.
The natives were restless on the patio yesterday afternoon when an interloper invaded Stubby the lizard's territory. Lots of puffing and strutting, and an iridescent color display I'd never seen them use before. Lots of biting, too, but neither seemed the worse for wear when it was all over.
Hope everyone's week gets off to a good start!
