Good morning!!!!

[Looking4new]

Good morning, low was 36°F and the high will be 43. Wind N11 gusting to 19 mph. 60% chance of rain/snow mix.

We found a small engines guy that will look at the power washer before I return it to the people that sold it to me. He is running two weeks behind, but he can have it today and when he gets to it, he gets to it. I really don't think I should be jumping through all these hoops, especially on a brand new piece of equipment.

Great pics of the Skyline Drive.
Nice Red Winged Blackbird.


Have a safe day all

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 4:45AM. Overcast. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 59F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph.
Picked up another third of an inch of rain yesterday, mainly in the wee hours, but one very dark cell that came through about 2 in the afternoon dropped enough to get everything wet again. The 10-day is calling for more rain later on in the week, and more next week, with more typical, warmer, fall temperatures.

Got the branch cleared off the driveway, then walked around looking for the stuff the wind stole. Found the hummer feeder, in three pieces, then found another one that had been hiding in the grass for goodness knows how long. Nearby were two door mats, but two more are still hiding. Got the BBQ grill upright after first removing all the grates and burners. None the worse for wear, but next time high winds are predicted, I'll move it into a more protected spot.

That dark cell kept me inside for the afternoon, and I managed to install an older version of MacOS into VMWare. Been running updates on it ever since, 6 Gb worth so far. Also got three legacy apps installed and running on it. Today I'll clone the main laptop onto an external hard drive, upgrade that to the newest OS version, and see how well VMWare runs on it. And see if there are any other apps that need an upgrade.

I also want to move some security cameras around, and start running more wire up in the attic. Not my favorite place to be, but I've been putting it off all summer, waiting for cooler weather, so now's the time.

Morning all, raining, seems more than the 2" they called for and still going
Got the leaves moved yesterday, probably a lot more took their place today.

Mostly, that's a lot of fish- how long before you know if numbers up/down?
Carp boiled and ground up for fish balls- Asian/eastern european treat.

stay safe and be well,

Thomas, your wife can send them down here, we need more hunters.
4 legged tick machine ate every one of my pretty yellow mum flowers off the planter closest to the road.
After this rain is finally done, I have to go back out and spray those plants down again.
It wears off and if it smells good and tastes good, it's just a fine day for a foraging animal.

neighbor across the street who has lived their 50+ years looks out her bedroom window at night and doesn't like looking at all the lights
on my house. She complained nicely about it and I'm thinking, why not just shut your curtains at night? I do...
I explained to her the old adage about crooks and Hollywood; crooks hate lights and cameras. So I had 3 60 watt LED lightbulbs running all night, I think
each consumes 15 watts. So nice cheap protection.
well.........
So the one light that used to shine on my US flag is now dark at night.
We all know it should be lit at night or taken down.
It's quite a stretch to get to and I was very happy to leave the flag up with the light on at night.
I think I need to get a more focused spot bulb or something but have it focused away from across the street.
I've known this lady a very long time and she is getting pretty cranky in her advancing years, not helped by a bad hip that has her
in pain. I wonder if there is a flag pole with a light built in... Wall mount with smaller flag

Municipal building and police station one block away. So for now I turned off the front lights and only run the side light by the entrance door at night.
I'm open to all suggestions.

got labs done, now some more housecleaning.

I have my lights on a timer, though don't think my neighbors can see them.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

I'm open to all suggestions.

I don't want my outside lights on all night, advertising the location of my place to everyone. But I do want to discourage uninvited guests with lots of lumens, which also help the security cams record what's going on. So I've rigged motion sensors to trigger certain lights if/when someone/something comes around after dark. Yes, a deer or a fox might trip them, too, but that's still better than leaving them burning all those hard earned kilowatts all night.

There's quite a variety of motion sensor equipped screw in light sockets on Amazon if you don't want to replace the whole light fixture...

Good Morning.
It’s 55 and might make 60 today. Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain.

Yesterday the rain held off until about 7 or so, then we got 2.12 inches according to the Davis, 3.33 according to the Tempest. I’ll check the good old funnel gauge, but my money is on the Davis.
Ended up hooking up the Progressive to to the tractor and mowing as it looked like the least chance of rain all week. Got the Lazer out and did the trimming as well. Saw some hanging and dead branches while mowing, went back out with Makita pole saw and chainsaw and cleaned them up. Both are excellent tools that I appreciate more every time I use them.

Off to meet a friend for breakfast now, then might get to the stuff I thought I might do yesterday.

Ron, glad you got everything done you had planned.

I usually exceed my plans, which is nothing.

I also use motion sensors. I do leave light on full time in mud room and at bottom of basement stairs. I like it dark outside.

I’ve noticed I get crankier the older I get. Just don’t like to put up with some stuff any more.
