Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

Good Morning!!!! 60F @ 6:00AM. Mostly sunny. High 79F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.
The cooling trend is gaining strength, rain still in the forecast for tonight, but not much.

What do those numbers mean as far as efficacy, Don? Is there some limit below which breakthrough cases are more likely? In other news, the county here announced yesterday that there are currently no ICU beds available in local hospitals, and that's never happened before.

That's a LOT to keep track of, Paul!

Looks like I'll have to wait another month for number three, Ron, but at least now I'm old enough. One of the few advantages to aging...

Sand showed up yesterday morning, but 45 minutes late. At least he dumped it in the right spot. There was enough to finish the trench, and I'll find room for the last of it today. All of the trench going up the hill is done, and maybe a quarter of it across the hill to the tank, too. Not enough room to dump the bucket on the FEL for the rest of it, so I'll be loading dirt into the dump bed on the side-by-side. Except the bed is narrower than the FEL bucket, so a lot of it ends up on the ground. Still think I can finish today, and I'll move the grizzly up the hill to maybe save some driving time.

Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!

RNG, if you can find the answers to those questions you are a lot better at searching than I am. I am wondering why that information is not available. I would hate to think there is some agenda behind it.

Does anyone have accurate stats on how many Vaxxed people have wound up in the hospital to be treated for COVID vs non-vaxxed?

Last I heard was that 99% of hospitalization was unvaccinated.

83F and sunny @ 12:30, headed up to a high of 85F.

Ordered another 330 flower bulbs last night which takes the total up to just over 900, also 4 different kinds of day lilies. October promises to be a busy month for bulb planting ...

Wind forecast looks more favorable for spraying tomorrow, so that's when it will be.

Temps and precipitation forecast this coming week look favorable for the over-seeding project.

Got to get back out there and get to it.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe Saturday ...

Our hospital numbers are still half of what they were in the last surge.

Cat threw up all over couch and floor, so got the carpet cleaner out and running it again. The other cat from the one the other day.

oh my aching feet and back. Stood on pavement from 7:30 on this morning, worked two booths then called it quits at noon.
Huge turnout, nice warm day, at least half the folks little kids, which makes sense as school is K-8 and a lot of the school kids came.
Head of School was there, met some old friends.
I worked the greeting booth and for a while we took donations and that didn't work well.
Then someone found the 2 dollar suggested donation sign, but more effectively we enlisted three small motivated kids that stood like
a gauntlet with donation cans. They were so cute, no one would want to pass them by.
Kids everywhere.
Feeling kinda old and tired at the moment...

headed out to pick more tomatoes

67°F and .66 inches rain, still raining.

Nothing special planned, just continuation.

Plans for afternoon changed abruptly. Was to meet with BIL for dinner to celebrate his birthday. Postponed. He drives a school bus. An unvaccinated staffed tested positive for covid. Due to exposure the whole school is closed at least 2 weeks. What a waste! A whole community suffers for the irresponsibility of one selfish choice.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I bet that has happened a bunch David, all over the country and school districts have pretty strict rules.
We have to be extra protective of our children of course, but it's remarkable to me how many folks are willing to risk the
health of their kids, including long term neurological damage, because they got infected and didn't have the vaccine antibodies
to fight it off. So Dad or Mom brings it home, unknowingly of course.
How can anyone say today
I don't know, I didn't know
what planet do you live on?

I was around close to three hundred people today including half of them kids.
I was KN95 masked almost all that time and geez did I sweat wearing that even outside.
I sure am I glad I'm triple vaccinated...
And I took off those clothes and washed my hands and face.
I felt buggy.

All chores completed and I started mowing...got the front and one side done, but as I was mowing the side, the drizzle started. So, knocked off mowing and had some lunch.
Wifey and Margeaux are taking a mid-afternoon nap, and that sounds like a pretty good idea...that's where I'm heading when I finish this post...
