Good morning and thanks for the anniversary wishes.
I have been keeping out of trouble this morning by applying a second light coat of oil stain to a couple of upstairs windows and the French doors on the snug. The oil finish may not be as long lasting as the stuff that was used before, but it should be a heck of a lot easier to prep next time. I find brushing quite therapeutic while listening to steamed podcasts through my hearing aids. The last one was about an Indian girl who was the saviour of an expedition into the American West in 1804. Some of you may have learned about the exploits of 16 year old "Sacagawea" when you were at school, her story was all new to me.

That’s what the official line is at the Health Department. Government says booster can start in September, before that it’s a “third shot”.
Semantics is what it is.

Yep, the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Good morning.
It’s already 77 and going to pass 90 with high humidity and chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon..
Yesterday was a warm one as well. Got one speaker done and out the door, the last one isn’t far behind it, but I’m waiting for some resistors to finish the crossover. Didn’t do much outside, a friend and his daughter put a couple of crawfish traps in the pond, so we went down to check them, one had none, the other had 5.
Today will be in the shop for a little while, and then I’ve got to head off to Burlington, VT and then right back to Philly.
I’ve been looking at modern TIG welders to replace the Miller DialArc HF that I’ve had for the last 30 years or so. I’m looking at a Primeweld 225, it appears to be a very capable machine with great reviews, other than being Chinese, there appears to be no downside. Does anybody here have any thoughts or experience with the Primeweld?

74 up to 94. Humidity about 1000%.
Thomas, hope your gout is easing up...eating celery and cherries? ...drinking lots of water?
Don, sorry about your mom and the DMV. Talked with my mom last night and she was on alert after finding a tick in the house that the dog she was dog sitting had apparently dropped off after she walked it outside. I decided not to tell her about the 9 seed ticks I picked off my ankles earlier in the day from my hiking. I did tell her about my spider bite.
Eric, we have a golden coin to remind us of her...

No rain last night, none got close.
Was mowing along creek and kept looking at the weeds on the other side, so I went there.
Boy was it getting high, really too high for ZT, but I dove in, with deck all the way up.
Not sure what the weed is, but it’s taken over everywhere. It’s even displacing grass on the side I keep mowed.
Found lots of hidden branches in the weeds. Some quite large, hidden underneath. I cleaned all the limbs out a couple months ago. Walnuts sure do drop a lot of limbs. One big top was obvious. By the time I got that done, probably an acre, back to the other side to finish mowing as it was getting rather dark and now dew was forming. Finished it just as it was getting hard to see where I hadn’t cut yet.
Made progress on programming the stream deck. A cool little toy. You can program buttons to do anything, open an app, play music, go to a web site, turn on a light. And you can make pages of buttons, so unlimited choices.
Cost of postage goes up Sunday. Anyone knows what the cost is anymore, since the forever stamps don’t have a price on them.

82 going to 93 with heat index well over 100. It’s supposed to be cooler over the weekend, so I think I’ll delay mowing until then.
Dinner with friends tonight at Stoked and Smoked BBQ.
My arm is sore around injection site but so far that’s all.
When I put a shed on 4x4 or 4x6, I put down mortar sand first. I’ve never had a timber rot on sand.
Buppies,
.
Getting stuff ready for the maiden voyage of the whale on wheels, heading out the fourth and coming back Sept. 8-9.
We could have stayed in nice hotels, condos or beach houses for what we spent on so far to obtain and stick this large cracker box on wheels. But at least we get buy huge quantities of gas, park with 50 others, level and hook up utilities and rent a car to get around. VS pulling up to the hotel, turning in the TV, sit on the balcony and watch the ocean and get in the SUV and go to dinner.
Where’s the down side?!
I hope this still seems like a good idea to my wife by the time we get home. Or, maybe I hope it doesn’t.
