Good morning!!!!

[Buppies]

I hate meetings half time spent going over what people did night before or what TV show they watched

Power back on, almost 24 hrs off, not too bad.
But did order larger generator, outdoor plug, cable. Need to pick up 6 ga to connect to panel, and an interlock.

Everything put away, water jugs for flushing refilled. Shower time.
Rain gauge did report .33” rain for yesterday.

We were under a severe thunderstorm warning which has expired.

Closest local station only reporting 0.09” but we certainly got a lot more than that thankfully.

Still raining …

Managed to get a dump cart load of screened compost loaded up and then placed on flower bed and the bed behind the frog pond where the summer squash are planted before storm rolled in.

No luck at hardware store on the o-ring for the sprayer pump. Kinda surprising.

Just cut up some styrofoam for the bottom of new pot for the banana tree and loaded some soil on top. Will probably transplant it after dinner.

Black eyed peas warming on the stove, haddock fillets in the oven, enjoying a salad with Ken’s Steak House blue cheese dressing right now.

Good evening.
Another hot day here.

Here’s the regulations the drone operators have to follow-

Federal Register :: Request Access

Here’s what an unlicensed drone operator can do-

https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_flyers

There is actually very little that the FAA can or will do to deal with an errant drone operator, mostly due the inability to prove any infraction. As far as invasion of privacy or “spying” those acts are totally out of their jurisdiction. Reckless operation is something they can enforce, IF it can be proved.
Local LEO’s usually don’t want to deal with drone complaints either.

Good evening. Jasper and I are down at the water front inside the screened gazebo, watching the sunset and its aftermath. He is vigilantly looking for ducks or other critters out on the water so he can bark at them.

Good (Thursday) morning... well it was when I started reading the thread, then received a call that a fold-out couch, that was scheduled to be dropped off at the Church's furniture shed at 1230 was ready to be dropped off at 1030, "Do you want us to just drop it by the roller-door?" "No, I'll be right in (20 minutes) as it's too heavy for just me to maneuverer." So, that's done but I'll still need to go back in for the scheduled bunk-bed pick-up. <sigh> Must remember... 'be glad'.

So, Winter showed up again this A.M. with a low of -2.4C = frost. Clear and a gentle breeze. It took 'til 0900 to fully melt. Currently it's 12C, which is the predicted High.

Last evening I went into town to open the Church Hall for the weekly AA meeting. After a wee bit of searching I located 'their' bag containing their own key (it was in a storage tub marked Al Anon). So, now I don't have to do this every Wednesday evening.

It's 1215 so I need to head back into town. Take care all.

(Update): They were a 'no show'. I did wait an hour before closing up and heading home. Still, it was a pleasant day.

Good evening all. Found this on internet, explains why Texas so hot this summer. 75ºF for the start, partly cloudy sky, light breeze. Light wind day, partly to mostly cloudy, and high temp was 102ºF, HI 105ºF. Men's meeting to start day, then maintenance work at fire station. Took longer to gather tools and travel to/from fire station than to replace fuel filter in pump motor. Did take trimmer for walk, got all around the house, Had to stop to refuel and change spools. Lunch then nap. Mexican for dinner
