Good morning!!!!

David, nice garden
Mostly, wife’s sister practically kidnapped her mom and took her to NC with no way home. Her mom finally had to firmly put her foot down and demand she take her home. I thought we were going to have to go to NC to get her.
Today FIL was transported to rehab facility in VA. Wife and her mom were there when he arrived and got to visit with him outside. They said he seems to understand when they speak to him, and had his eyes open a little.
When her sister found out he was being moved today she wanted to come up, her mom told her no. I’m surprised she hasn’t shown up already, I’m sure she will show up unannounced. That’s only part of the drama.

Only reported 5 hrs of OT work today but did 6.5. Couldn’t stop in middle of a test setup. Had my 40 in yesterday.

Got ceiling sanded again, and touched up with more mud. Tomorrow after sanding should be ready for primer. Possibly paint later tomorrow or on Sunday. Want to have all done before wife gets home Monday. Can’t find any primer, gonna have to go to Lowe’s tomorrow. Found some ceiling paint left over 5 yrs ago, shook when I shook it. Might just get a new can also. My whole house hasn’t been painted since I built 23 yrs ago. It all needs repainted, so that might be the scope creep. At minimum repaint all of BR ceiling, which means shuffling a lot of stuff around.

Haven’t got caught up on TBN yet.

Big protest in our town today.

Thanks for sharing this. My wife read a short piece on it yesterday and just shook her head.

I read it that the negative studies had no real science behind them. More confusion.

MD still at 800 per day positive, but overall % of those tested down to 8%.

Here are the pics from yesterdays paint work. The bench cast iron pieces took the black enamel well... should outlast me (at least another 40 years). The shed trim was good to go, so we started the siding color, pics of that later...

Also got the shed windows installed/ trimmed / painted.

LS, what did you use for the rust before painting the bench ends?
What paint?

I used a product called rust reformer by Rustoleum. Wire brushed them first, just used air to blow them off. The stuff is kinda neat, water based, not too bad of a smell. When you brush it on, it is pinky / tan, starts fizzing as it turns green, then turns black as it dries. Just have to wait 24 hours before painting. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Rust-Ole...5OpLDMCatQH8nM_VMIMrMTz3JtaQtJ_BoCgpsQAvD_BwE

I have had very good results using Rustoleum Professional spray paint. Covers very well, dries fast. Sprays evenly until empty.

Here are a couple of pics of the paint completed on the shed. There are a few touch up spots where some booboos happened, but for the most part done...

Good evening all. 71F for the start, mostly clear skies, calm wind. Light to moderate erratic wind today, sky stayed mostly clear, high temp 93F. Went fishing again, played with fly rod, rusty as Ted's bench. Did land 4 or 5 sunfish 1 eating size balance trot line size. Messed with live worms lost half my worms and no hook sets . Came home and went for ride, rehydrated for an hour then napped. Puttered on computer after that.
Covid update: Cooke unchanged, Montague unchanged, Grayson 372 confirmed, 58 active cases.
Billy, good luck with the poison ivy reduction. You rarely get to figure out how mice get where they get. In-laws have real mouse problem, raising car hood helps in engine compartment.
Eric good to hear more rain, Don't have real big issue with UPS except when the mistake the road in address, but then the post office does that also.
Buppies don't wash away or get mud in the pool.
Thomas enjoy your puttering and treating.
Ron do warblers eat other bird eggs? Nice pic. Rust will get you every time.
Mike good to hear grass is done.
RS nice to hear vice is back together and ready for action.
Rich glad you were able to score firewood, several big oaks have died in the neighborhood, have no room to store it.
Don glad you got the cool hours, good luck with chainsaw.
RNG gotta wonder about some drivers. Enjoy new MacBook. Sounds like a good way to end the day.
Ted sounds like the cooler weather can't come soon enough.
Jay hope you get some rain, and Brogen get over the bear.
Drew sounds like progress on the walking, would be nice if they told you what they are looking for for discharge criteria IE walk so far stand so long keep meds straight
PJ remember the Arch effect well, split would occur before St Charles county then reform after crossing Mississippi river. :confused2:
Ted nice progress.
Thomas good luck protecting your garden.
David glad to hear good town run, sorry about Dr reschedule.
Buckeye, good luck with family drama, Hope you get BR ceiling done before wife gets home
Ted looking sharp
prayers for all especially Drew recovery and release.
stay safe and healthy.
