[buckeyefarmer]

Looks like dad getting a lot of rain.

My brother did help him get power line back up to the garage. My cell camera now working on the AC adapter because it says 99% battery. Good thing cause it sent about 600 pics of them working.

We had storms here today. My son had a game night tonight with about 12 plus us.

Good (Sunday) arvo. Yesterday's Low was 6C but this morning's Low was -0.9C = very light frost. It's currently struggling to reach 12C and there's a 'wind warning' put out from now until late tomorrow. It's overcast and, really, nothing in the gauge... which will change by tomorrow (Monday).

Yesterday I got away at 0500 (picked up another meeting 'delegate' in St Marys by 0535) for a very pleasant, practically traffic free, drive to Devonport. Arrived by 0840. Fun/interesting day at the conference, which concluded by 1700. We headed back about a half hour later.

Light traffic home but, once the sun set, I needed to be extra vigilant as that's when the 'critters' come out! A wallaby tried to commit suicide against the side of the ute but missed (just caught that out of the corner of my eye), a confused little possum was spotted in time (Possum, "Do I go right? No, left! NO, definitely RIGHT!!"), but the major avoidance were two different wombats.

I managed to see and swerve them both in time. Wombats aren't all that big... but they are solid. They will wreck a car and do serious damage to a ute.

Uneventful drive after dropping my friend off in St Marys, getting home by 2035. I just put the electric heaters on in the house, had a wee bite to eat (+ a glass of Pinot Noir ) to finish a long day.

Of course Church this morning was extended as it was also our AGM (finances report/election of Church Councillors/etc...) Whew, I've started the fire in the woodheater and am more than ready to put my feet up.

Take care all.

69 going to 80, and rain likely later.

Buppies, that convertible ride sounds like fun. Glad you got some nice time with your wife.

Yesterday was dedicated to the world of grass. Dump run and diesel jug refill, compressed air cleaning of mower, then crank up the deck and pry chunks of grass crud ...I bet my tarp weighed 40 lbs when I was done...grass has been so well blessed by the rains that it is tropically lush this year. Then mowed for a while to enjoy a completely different sound...when the deck has accumulated grass crud, it makes a more muffled sound, and clearly doesn't discharge as well.

When almost finished mowing, I came up the hill on a seldom used narrow trail full speed, and thought that the branch hanging over the trail was just a sapling bent over...nope, it was a hungry briar that turned my hand and lower arm red with blood...so back to the house for some nursing and a get well kiss. This was the one trail I didn't walk and pick up sticks and lop off any overhangs.

64° right now...high in the mid-80's

While wife and stepdaughter were at the wedding, I did some housework...mainly carpet cleaning and washed the dishes and silverware. Margeaux was outside, patrolling, and had no interest in coming in.
Today...lawn could use a bit of a trim...borderline...but I think I'll let that slide and do some work on those audit findings

Oh yeah, Thomas, I saw a hen turkey and 2 young poults walking in one of my food plots yesterday. It's very late in the season for poults to be that young...I guess her first nest was unsuccessful, and her second only has 2...maybe the rain, or predators.

That mess stayed north of us. Odd, didn’t get an alert on the phone about the tornado warning. Looks like it extended into Bucks Two. where I live.

There is thunder and lightning again. Been off and on storms all night.

Been awake since 3….. way too early to be up.

4am. 62º going to 93º in Winchester CA today. Sunny and dry. Wish we could get some rain without a flood. The wheat crop was a bust this year again. Everything needs water.
Looking forward to playing with the new tractor today. Kubota MX5200 arrived yesterday. She's a beastly beauty
