82F and sunny @ 12:00, HI 95F, DP 70F ... heading up to a high of 89F. Around a 20% chance of a stray thunderstorm popping up. Attic vent fan just came on.

One more warm day (high 87F) after today and then temps go back to a little closer to normal for this time of year (high 70's/low 80's) for the rest of the Ten Day.

Noticed while mowing the upper front yesterday that the groundhogs have reopened two holes to their tunnels in the dirt pile ... apparently they are not getting the message that they need to vacate.

Target rich environment as always, as far as agenda goes. Likely will try to avoid being in the sun as much as possible.

Pallet forks on are the Kubota currently with nothing on back for a counter-weight.

Probably move the 65 gallon tank which is almost empty and the sprayer which is empty around back for refills. Then put the box blade back on.

There was a 25' top section of a dead ash tree that had come down a while back and had snagged up in a maple over in the west side planting bed. I pushed/pulled it down a couple days ago and got it on the ground. Need to remove that and take it up to the burn pile.

Also have some saplings that need pulled out in the circles, once I put the bucket back on.

Have some mortar work to do to fill in around the AC units on the outside walls up at shop. Should be able to do the west side first off and then hit the east side a little later when it's in shade (assuming I have enough mortar)

Probably do some more work on grading and compacting over at the creek crossing.

Making a point of trying to observe where the sun is at various times during the day. Amazing how much the trees have grown over the last 40 years and how much shade they provide.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day ... (y)

68°F and .20 inches rain.

Success with the tiling yesterday. Took a bit longer than planned, guess I’m getting old. Today will be cleaning up the excess thinset, especially in the lines. Won’t be grouting immediately.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Morning all, rainy and cooler here.
After using the 20" bar on the last ash we took down, the nose was all clear. It seems the one ash I was bucking a few weeks back must have been rotten or saw dust, problem with cutting up dead trees.
AC at the apartment is out- ordered a run capacitor as fan on compressor is working. Hope that's the issue.

Buppies- sorry to hear that surgery required again-hope this is the last round you need and a quick recovery.
Pennwalk-welcome back to PA
RNG - hope you are wearing a mask or something so you're not breathing in all that smoke. Can't wait to see the grizzly project completed.
Eric- Day of sunshine- aren't you in the UK :cool:

Replaced light switch that wife has been bugging me about and got chain saw cleaned up and ready to use as soon as it's dry out. Wifey told me we have a lot of wood everywhere- told her need time to cut and split. Maybe will get ok to get new saw?? Can always hope.

Stay safe and be well,

My two peach tress have so many peaches, one of them fell over-will need to stake it.

RS one of the neighbors at the farm suggested stuffing a gasoline soaked rag down the groundhog hole and capping it with a rock. I modified that to be ammonia soaked paper towels. It worked for me.
