77 and humidity you can cut with a knife. Rain moving in later, gusty winds.

Got the corn across the road picked on Tuesday, mowed and disced the stalks yesterday, that field is only about 80 acres between two creeks, nice and high so it drains well and never needs irrigation, best of both. Just up the road they irrigate all summer.
I got my grass mowed yesterday, cleaning ladies, washing machine repair man is supposed to come replace the inlet valve and someone is coming to estimate new flooring in the kitchen, dining room, hall, both foyers and the bathrooms. Sounds like an expensive day around here.

You can’t get anything done seems like, I still have not gotten my replacement retractable awning put up over the bigger deck. I’ve had the new one since early July, lying in my garage in a big tube since. First scheduled for early August but repeatedly put off. Since the brackets are there it just requires removing four bolts, slide it out, and unplug it, then reverse. Two young strong men could literally do in 20 minutes, only took an hour to install the original and they had to measure, level and install brackets. One place said they could fit me in about October 1, and it would only cost $700! Summer is over so I guess I can take my time.

Mostly, Kyle, we have the runway and it’s being extended more now, but when you’re used to seeing those 80 passenger Embraer jets, that thing looked like it carry a pair of them under its wings. LOL

Toppop, I'd come help you but it would be the blind leading the blind. You sure don't want to bend the new one.
Strong grandsons are very helpful but where did they go?...

headed downtown to bank, then to apple orchard, and home. Friend visiting for lunch.
I'm making a mushroom pizza and sending her home with green tomatoes and some apples.
Then get in comfy chair and read my book while rain comes down.

Last year I made birdhouses and feeders for Christmas presents. Need to think up something different for this year,
small enough to ship and not too heavy.

Over 3” of rain since midnight, 3.8” counting yesterday

Electric has flashed off 3 times, each time a loud popping noise back of the house. Something is shorting, but it hasn’t blown the fuse yet.

Not sure about trying to drive, flash flood warnings say stay home.

SIL called my wife last night in a panic attack, more drama.

Now to catch up on everyone else.

Morning all, light rain-calling for >1" later
Got little done yesterday, mostly some bush trimming and general cleanup.

C-17 coming in when near the airfield looks like a used car lot with all the wheels above head. Could always tell when these were coming into the base by the sound.

Alien- I have grackles and cardinals flying into my windows all the time-they knock themselves silly, but windows never seem to get damaged-must be big birds you got there!

Sodamo-Bathroom looks nice, Doors look good too.

Drew-still looking for a refridgerator-none our size in stock for last 1.5 years or so.....No dock workers in CA to offload ships-home collecting payouts
We sometimes stop by Ely's farm for meats, now that the local supermarkets have raised their beef prices, his don't seem so bad, and you can see where he gets his meat from in front of the store :)

BEF - your SIL and my SIL should meet - wrestling federation would have a real match. Mine is prone to theatrics and insults at family gatherings. My wife is still talking about the last time she was here...

Stay safe and be well.

My dog takes bench pressing too literally:

We took Max to the vets yesterday for his annual jab. He has never been keen on needles, usually I just have to hold his head firm then it is all over in a few seconds. Covid rules meant I could not do that this time, the young lady took him away on his lead. He went quietly enough but then was gone far longer than usual. Eventually he was back out looking ruffled yet quite pleased with himself because no one could get near enough to stab him. He thinks he has won, what he doesn't know is that we go back next week and that nice lady has organised a chillout pill to go with his breakfast that day.

Anyone else have problems with pets that don't like being messed with ?

Rich, why would he have a cow if it gets raced?
Is it a 450 or a Kawi twin?

Twin - 750cc. Woody Kyle Engine.

If it was a 450 Kawa, I would not have even gotten involved. They are, IMO, a marginal platform. They are hard to get them set up right and the engine is difficult to get the best out of it
