Good morning!!!!

The rain falls from Hilary can cause severe flash floods in areas not normally seeing that. Can be very dangerous. Saw some of that when living in Mohave. All of the sudden a wall of water coming down from the hills washing out everything in the way. Be careful

Don in answer to your question see no hurricanes on the horizon and if one does will come out of Caribbean Sea area too much dust and strong head winds in Atlantic. The heat should start easing mid September resulting in cool east warm west scenarios. Another TS may hit west coast by end of August. The GFS model panel after major updates still stinks and that meteorologist seems to be following that model. Hope this answers your question

RS, I rarely wear gloves and think I've gotten poison ivy from doing just what you did. Most often I have problems with not enough coming out,
not too much, but of course, if you snag...

Sott(vt) glad you not in MRI when rod was found! Nice pic, is that water on camera lens?

Good Morning Guys,
50's to start going to 80.

Drew, its funny you mention that, I was trimming out back the day before yesterday. I knew there was some PI, and did get trimmer tangled up, but soon as I finished I took a good shower, so no PI on me yet ! The bitter sweet vines are the worst, they attach to everything and make trimming an adventure !!

Phil, beautiful job on those bowls and cup ! Excellent work !

mostly_gas, that camera is on the front porch, and yes there could be some moisture on the lens ! Need to clean it !

All have a blessed and safe day !

Good Morning
71 with a high in the low 80’s and blue sky.
Another great day.

Yesterday, grandson and I ran the tractor with a grapple to move brush and logs from his dads tree work. He took down some gnarly, mostly dead trees.

After that, I continued looking for things damaged by lightning. First hint was when the standby generator didn’t send me a text to tell me it was exercising. Took a look at it, controller screen was blank, and control fuse was blown. Replaced the fuse, it popped again like a flashbulb.
Did some cursory looking and testing, it appears that it’s just the control. I ordered a new one on line for a bit under $500 including shipping. Started a list of all the damaged stuff and the cost of repairs, sent an email to insurance agent to see what my coverage and deductible is, I’ve spent over $2,000 at this point, and that’s not considering my time, I haven’t used any outside contractors (unless you count the fire company).

Today I want to go over the RC club and try out the P51 I converted to electric power and socialize a bit. Wife is already off to Farmers Market, she was at a different one yesterday. So far she is very pleased with the Transit Connect.
I do need to put the 3pt mower on the tractor and mow inside the fenced pastures, it a bit too tight for the 16 foot Progressive, although it’s probably not any faster than the Lazer, even with a 30” wider cut, and I still run the Lazer around the perimeter of each pasture, but it’s more comfortable and has AC and a stereo.

Good morning. Nice day today, and for the next few days.

Neighbor finished painting the walls of the basement, and next step is to put down the rest of the black “DryBarrier“. My helper comes next week and we will put down the rest of the vinyl flooring, almost done, except for the tongue and groove on the ceiling in the main living room, dining room area. And of course some trim.

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

Morning all, sunny 73 going up to 88.
Did start putting up furring strips to mount sheetrock.
The tapcons come with a drill bit, for some reason, this box had a one size too big bit!
Got out the old bit from the last box, and that worked better. Delays, delays.
Could not work while son's band practicing in garage either. So worked on deck cleanup.

Today basement work on hold to go over to Vineland NJ for sons band.

Made it to the Grange fair yesterday, lots of tractors, farm animals and very, very crowded.
Picked up Sausage and pepper sandwiches on the way out for $12 each.
Met up with some of my wife's coworkers there and said hi.

Phil - your carvings are getting quite sophisticated, really nice work.

Sootr - be careful out there. Waiting a bit and will call dad and uncle in San Diego to see how they are doing.

Sad day yesterday - Old friend texted me her sister passed away
About an hour later got a text from SIL that her sister passed away too. Great women, had a stroke about 8 years ago and then dementia, been in a home for two years. Was sad seeing her go downhill so fast.

Be well,

Good morning! Low of 58°, heading for a high of 88°. Sunny, but windy. No precip from the storm expected.
So close, but no cigar.......

Phil, you do amazing work! Beautiful!

Paul, sorry about the control board. Hope the insurance deductible isn't too high. Must have been quite the strike!

Did get started on the last little area of the drive. There was a bit more dirt that accumulated around the the landscape bed and shed. Dug out 3 bucketfuls, probably get another bucket filled.
Then get the 4x4's cut and in place. Pics to follow later.

Wifey is making dog food today, so I'll get to take multiple breaks from the outside heat, and assume the clean-up committee position. Max is already supervising the process

Hope everyone has a great day!

Is the handle glued on?

No. Made it out of one piece.

Phil you really are talented. If you did an online store, I'd sure buy one of those. I love wood...

Send me a pm on which one your interested in. Depending on the item we can talk.
Thanks for all the compliments. It's much appreciated!

So a lot of hand work not on the lathe too much… COOL!
