Good Morning!!!! 46F @ 3:45AM. Cloudy and damp with rain this morning...then becoming partly cloudy. High near 55F. SSW winds shifting to NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%.
Rain started yesterday at about 4PM, a gentle drizzle at first, picking up a bit but all of it soaking into the dry ground. It's been pretty steady all night, with about 0.8" in the bucket so far. :thumbsup:
What a nice gift your wife is making for you this morning, Thomas, letting you have first crack at the new snow with her new tractor!
Hope your power has been more on than off, Buppies, Mike, Ken, Bill and the rest of you in that big storm, and that the ice hasn't caused too much damage.
Glad the furnace is able to limp along and still keep you warm, Ron. Nice spot of blue in an otherwise gray day.
Hope those with fresh snow take it easy with the pushing and shoveling.
Another termite emerges from the woodwork! Looks like a nice home for a big woofer, Paul. Did I guess right?
Another hundred CV19 cases here yesterday, and seven deaths. We were spared during the first several months, and a lot of folks here still aren't taking any precautions when they're out and about. And since it's "the season" there are a lot of family and work related gatherings, and again, people are pretending it's no big deal. The highest infection rate is still among the 18-24 age group, and highest death rate in the 65+ range.
Sorry to hear about the mud beer, David. I guess that's the price to pay for a wacky flavor?
Now that we've had some rain, too, Doug, I'm looking forward to taking out quite a few fire damaged trees. It's supposed to stop later today, and there are three of them that have been threatening to fall across the driveway entrance that I hope to start with.
I had pretty good luck unplugging the screens over the ends of bathroom and kitchen faucets with vinegar, RS. Used a sandwich sized plastic to hold about a half cup of it, with a rubber band to hold it in place. After leaving it on overnight, the ring holding the screen came right off, and the screen itself was clear.
Things went pretty smoothly yesterday with the unloading. Took us about 2 1/2 hours, but part of that was talking with the crew that was working on the powerline easement. I was told two of the big Ponderosa pines here are tall enough to reach the lines, and have canker from bark damage caused by the fire. They may not pass the next inspection, which would be too bad because they're beautiful trees. But if they go the other way, they'll take out whatever is parked on the driveway.
Had enough time before the rain started to rake out the tractor tire tracks and spread a bucket load of decomposed granite over the spots where it had been packed down into the dirt. Once the rain stops, I'll have to get after it with pre-emergent to keep the weeds out of it.
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
