48° right now...a much much cooler day with highs in the mid-70's. My kind of weather!

Boy, if I don't get to mowing the backyard soon (today!!!), I'm going to need a field cutter to mow it. Like some of you guys on the East Coast, we had a substantial downpour a couple days back and the grass really grew fast!!
Weather should be good, and I hope I get out today at my scheduled time (1530). I do have to make a quick stop in Lebanon on the way home.
Figure I'll have to mow it in 2 or 3 heights before it'll be finished... Should teach my step daughter to run the damn ZTR!!!

Drinking first cup of coffee. 63° with fog this morning. Heading to 85° with possibility of thunderstorms in afternoon. Put hummingbird feeders out yesterday. Got all of wood needed for neighbors countertop yesterday. Going to started cutting it into proper lengths to fit today. Need to mow grass. Will see if I get to it today.

Drying out after heavy rain.

Roy, glad you are feeling better.
Good news about Sophie.
Good news about Doug's wife.

since we didn't get much rain yesterday, need to water the veggies today.

Ron, great pic, hawk is using Mother Nature's hair dryer up on the ridge to dry out

69 going to 82 in clouds...storm threatened yesterday but only left us a few drops. Will be watering garden today.

Ron, great red tail..."our" pair is not nesting here this year. I know a winter storm tore up some of their nest, so maybe they moved on...occasionally see them flying and hunting here.

Alien, congrats on selling the farm. Now relax.

Mostly, the code indicates the exhaust fan is running under 400rpm. I've had to replace a smaller fan on an infrared temp sensor but hope this was just a temporary problem.

My wife cut my hair again yesterday...just don't see a reason to go back where I used to get it cut. Mowed the Coco field (unfortunately we never use it for frisbee anymore) while the storm was approaching...dense clouds and breezr had cooled things off...thought I needed to hurry but the storm passed around us.

No cicadas here so far.

It’s 68 headed to 80 today, with no rain.
Yesterday was another hot one with thunderstorms in the afternoon. Got over 1/2” of rain. Speaking of rain, the cylinder gauge is spaced off of the pole by an inch to address Mostly’s concern.

Yesterday was a busy day, started and ended with airport meetings, in between them I got three speakers cut out and dado’d. They’re all standing up as a dry fit test now, but they all need the holes for the drivers routed out. I’ll do extra baffles while I have the router setup, it’s always easier to do multiples once you are setup. When I went out for lunch, I also picked up a stereo receiver for to replace the one in my bedroom that died. Stereo receivers are not as easy to find as surround sound ones, I ended up at a high end audio store where you could easily spend 50k on an audio system. But they did have a nice $300 Yamaha receiver that fit my needs perfectly. The third meeting of the day was figuring out to make the charter business employee owned as I bow out in the future.

Today will be a much more relaxing pace, mostly making sawdust, probably meet an old friend for lunch, and then a relaxing evening.

No Cicadas here, but they are quite plentiful nearby.

It's 48F and going to be another high overcast day. Kind of a nice break from the beastly hot early summer weather.

read that shipping on a new F150 was now $1,695
New Maverick compact pick up truck looks very appealing with larger engine.
Amazing fuel economy with standard engine but would likely be too slow for me.
Ford's new plug in electric pick up should be a game changer. Instantly recognizable with that big
light bar running all the time up front. With a built in 9.8kw standby generator for your home.
Out with the noisy 3600 rpm screamer, in with the truck and a cord. Already have the house receptacle.
And no noise. My standby gen is 9.5kw on propane so same power available.

Paul, I bet you had fun in the stereo place.
You could have brought home some MacIntosh tube amps and perhaps some
big electrostatic screens, but you were good and scored a nice receiver. I bet that Yamaha has a
large number of functions though. Great company, makes so many musical things. Classic pianos.
And great outboard engines.
the simple pleasure of a good set of headphones or being in the third point of the triangle facing a pair of stereo speakers, just
doesn't have to get lots more complicated than that. Though a room equalizer usually helps.

Good morning! 75˚F cloudy 90% humidity. Today might be our first 100˚F day. No rain in three days so I will be turning on the twice weekly irrigation system. Next day to water is Sunday.

Like others the grass is growing on overdrive, but with the high temp it will be a frequently interrupted job for cool down today.

Drew, the Ford Maverick looks interesting, it is probably the size that the old Rangers used to be.

New feature on TBN. While posting this message the following flashed on the screen.

Messages have been posted since you loaded this page. Read them.

I clicked "read them" and a post popped up without interrupting the post I was typing. Cool.
