Little after 7 in the AM Thursday.
GOOD MORING TBN!
It rained almost steadily yesterday, not a monsoon, but a range of heavy shower to steady drizzle until aboot 11PM.
It took a short rest and was at it again after aboot 2 AM. Predicted to continue most of the day and tomorrow.
Also really cool for this time of year. We should be cracking 70+F everyday and we will be lucky to make 60F for more than the coming week. We had one day a week ago where we broke some temperature records hitting 80+F and then this.
Even early June is predicted to be below normal.
My furnace is still going when I should be considering a little AC.
I wasn't planning a garden this year with the move to the Condo but this helps confirm it.
It's too wet to work the ground and the ground hasn't had a chance to warm up for the heat lovers like peppers etc.
Seeds would probably rot if put in now.
Oh well.
Time for some brekky. Hopefully someone in sunny Mexico is out there growing my produce.
Maybe with the motivation of his senorita and her bountiful taco.

No date on my Vicks bottle, so it’s good.
Almost .5” rain yesterday.
Got my Messicks order, and ate at Lincoln Diner in Gettysburg. Train came by as we were leaving.
Originally was going to another diner, we last ate here 2 yrs ago to the day.

Nice picture of train engine BEF

Masseyrider no one says much about this but your cool weather and ours due to polar vortex about a month ago that’s affecting the weather. Interesting how that works. Some say US is going to have hot summer others not so much maybe similar to 2009. Will wait and see

Good morning, the high now is 48 and going down to a high of 46°F. Wind E 15 mph. Periods of rain. Raining right now.

Ron, I know your mother probably taught you to share your stuff, but you really didn't have to share your rain with me.

While I was out and about yesterday, I took my laser thermometer with me and shot my front rotors...124°F, both. Rears were 80 & 84°F each. The front brakes were done last May 2, 2024 and there is only 1280 miles on them. The rears have less mileage on them, they were done last fall. When my brakes get done it is rotors and pads and calipers.
I sure wish I had drum brakes back again, Just change the shoes slap the drum on adjust them up and forget about them until you hear the squealers...2-3 years later. This Dodge goes through brakes every year.

Enough bitchin', not doing anything today.

Back down the you tube rabbit hole.

Have a safe day all

I do share. But I thought it was you that was doing the sharing. Same rain clouds have been rotating CCW over both of us for 3 days.

Morning all, 49 going to 51 and rain.
Tonight is sons last Choir concert at high school. Seems so weird, he graduates in a few weeks.

Seeing strawberries in lactose , yuch.

Got grass seed on the swale I started, might as well use the rain to my advantage.

Be well,

Twins from last year seen yesterday, brother and sister.

A big bowl of strawberries and cream or half n half is great.

50F and rain @ 09:15, calling for a high of only 52F for the day and all day rain.

Got IBC tote and pump removed from the van and stowed in the barn first thing yesterday.

After that headed up to the shop and started a small fire in the double barrel woodstove to take the chill off.

Got the last two legs welded on the second saw horse.

Found a piece of angle that seemed suitable for the cross braces on the saw horse legs and got those cut to length.

Then got those all welded up:

Only other idea I'm toying with is welding plates on the bottom of the legs since they are currently open.

Not a problem if they're being used on pavement, but could be an issue if they are being used on soft ground. Will have to scrounge around up in the shop and see what I have in the way of plate. Should have something suitable.

Plan on repotting tomato seedlings this morning, then appointment to get sliced and diced this afternoon.

Hope everyone is having a decent Thursday ...

Cream and half and half mean pain and hospital to me.
Love Strawberries though. Keep the pictures coming!
Wonder if I will get any corn this year, would be nice.
I have tons of wild strawberries, my mom would bake them in a pie for us when I was a kid.
We could have strawberry shortcake as a special treat sometimes.
