Good Morning!!!! 46F @ 5:15AM. Abundant sunshine. High 63F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Overcast and drizzly yesterday, but no accumulation to speak of. Only an inch for the system. I'll enjoy the sunshine this coming weekend, but will welcome another system coming in toward the end of the week.
Lots of red freckles on the shoulder, Eric, and painful chewing for a day or so from a sore jaw. I'm hoping one of
these will bring the comb up so it slides under my face instead of slapping it. Got the Meprolight sights mounted yesterday, and they're very dim. That mounting rail on the top of the receiver seems to be crying out for a red dot...
Glad most of you got through the big storm without too much work; sorry you took a tumble, Paul. Blame it on the phone?
:laughing:
Good news on the knee, Ted. Do you have a date set yet for the surgery?
A neighbor used a masticator on his property about five years ago. Looking at it now, you can't even tell. They're good at knocking down the brush, but if you don't go back over it and take out the roots, everything comes back.
Funny you should mention seeds, Drew. Yesterday I ordered some morning glories to cover the east facing banks on the pad next to the garage. That circuit of the sprinkler system is still intact, but my brown thumb is still gonna need all the help it can get to see any blooms.
Been curious about the new MacOS Big Sur version, so a few days ago tried to install it on one of the laptops. Took the better part of a day to download; it's a very portly 12+ gigs. Then it kept hanging, saying "12 minutes remaining". Seems like a lot of folks were complaining about that, and there was a suggestion to
reset the SMC (whatever that is) to fix it. That did work, but the installation took the better part of an hour, with more than the usual number of restarts and blank screens. Seems to be working fine, now though, but I really haven't found anything special to recommend the upgrade. Changing the radius of the icons and adding more emojis just doesn't seem worth having to upgrade apps that won't work under the new OS.
No leaks on the toilet, so that job seems to be done.
More time digging for receipts and photos to document fire losses yesterday, but I think I'm getting pretty close to done. The forester I'm meeting today works for a company named Firestorm Wildfire Suppression, which seems much more oriented towards my concerns than Andy's Tree Service and the rest of the garden variety tree companies. Sure miss the days when you could grab the Yellow Pages, find your category, and have some assurance you've covered all the available options for your area. Now with Yelp, and various google searches, you have a lot of chaff to sift out, and you never know if the reviews are genuine or not.
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
