Good Morning!!!! 54F @ 7:15AM. Sunny. High 78F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
The 10-day is calling for showers next Sunday, but less than a tenth of an inch accumulation. Water districts are starting to announce drastic cutbacks in water allocations, and the farmers aren't happy about it.
Very nice weather here yesterday, no wind, mild temperatures, perfect for spraying herbicide. Got done what I needed to, but the Kubota side-by-side has a coolant leak somewhere and it overheated twice. So no real progress on the ToDo list.
I did get the rest of the hoops welded up, but none installed on pallets. Had to run into town for a 4 hour CCW course and qualification. That didn't finish until 9PM, which is my usual bedtime. That made for a long day.
PG&E inspector was a contractor, real nice guy in his mid 30s, living out of a motorhome with his wife and two kids, going where the work is. He didn't give the power line easement a very good grade, it being choked with brush and harboring several trees that could easily reach the power lines if they were to fall. Now we'll see if his report will make any difference.
A home a couple miles east of here caught fire and burned yesterday, no word yet on how bad it was. Firefighters responded quickly and kept it from spreading to the surroundings, which are starting to dry out with the lack off rain. It's gonna be another long fire season...
I was putting the tractor away yesterday when I spotted a garter snake slithering across the driveway. It was a young one, but very bright so it must have just molted. Then last night a jack rabbit jumped onto the road in front of me and ran in the headlights for at least a quarter mile before bailing off to the side. Bet it slept good last night.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend.
