Morning all!
70 going to 89-90 today with high humidity and no wind. Good stay in the house day!
Put the loader back on the tractor yesterday and went out back to turn the mulch pile. After that switched out to the forks so I could grab a pallet and load it with wood I got from friends and relatives. Got it up off the ground to hopefully dry out. Grass could use cutting but I think I will leave it a little longer than usual with all this heat.

Bone density scan came back for me and the doctor put me on calcium and vitamin D3 immediately with an appointment scheduled for as quick as possible. Hopefully can be treated whatever it is.
Still a little sore in the neck but getting better every day.
Wife's voice seems to be going again! Need to get that looked at more!
Wife is going to work today for a few hours.
Good day to work downstairs in the woodshop after a few chores inside.
Here is my latest project from a rotten birch log.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

70 outside this AM. Heading into the 90's again. In the pattern of Hit and Miss t-Storms and just oppressing humidity.

My wife does not handle the heat or humidity. Me on the other hand, don't matter. I hydrate well, only thing is I have to force myself to eat. No appetite. Yesterday she thought I fell into the pool I was that soaked. Today looks more of the same. Been that way for a while now. Welcome to mid-Atlantic summers. LOL.

I might make a beer run today. Having a hard time finding my beer in bottles. Not a can man.

Hope all have a great day. Hope the weather is in your favor for whatever projects are undertaken.

Weeks almost over, almost.

Good morning! 77˚F heading to the 90s only with cloudy skies and a 45% chance of rain this afternoon, we need it, it has been very hot and dry.
My knee has simmered down, I guess it does not like to climb the hi-rise tractor 30 times a day.
The sunflower in my garden has been harvested a little late and only a few flowers remained, enough for one vase.
Carrot bacon was a flop, tasted more like sweet floppy carrot chips, will try a different recipe next time and use the dehydrator to get them crunchy without burning them.
No new ID procedures at our Costco but it the last time I am going to that one. Our town's new Costco will open in a week and be 20 minutes closer.
Good day to mow the yard. Tomorrow we will go to wife's great aunt's 106 birthday party.

good morning all
wet morning in Cedarville MI, a change from the beautiful weather we have been getting, but they really need the rain here. My brother's lawn was crunchy.

doing laundry today which is most convenient since bath house/laundry room 50 feet from my rv. So that is this morning's project while it drizzles. I hope to go the Les Chenaux maritime museum which is only about three blocks away. Then tonight dinner at a cooking school in Hessel, the next town over.


collecting a lot of pics but still can't send them easily, keeps stalling laptop. I'll be sending a lot out when I get to Ron's home tomorrow.
there are no cars on Mackinac Island, just horses, used for everything, hauling people and goods over island. huge amount of bicycles here, there is an 8 mile bicycle path all the way around island. some of you bicyclers would really find this fun

Good Morning
69 going past 90 again today, possible scattered showers this afternoon.

Yesterday followed the plan more or less. We did do the photo mission in the little plane-

Looks like a pretty big addition to me.
Afterwards had to stop at the restaurant to fix an ice machine, they get a work out in this weather. Did some RC flying with son after mowing runway.
Transit Connect looked decent, I’m going to offer him his adjusted asking price with the caveat that it passes PA state inspection and has no hidden damage or rot once it’s on the lift at my mechanic’s shop.

We had some cumulus build ups, but no thunderstorms here, saw some at a distance on my way to play music with some friends last evening.

This morning I’m going to move some hay to the barn from the hay shed, then hook up the Progressive mower, and get on the Lazer to get the trim mowing done before it’s too hot, the AC in the Kubota makes the heat a non issue. Not sure what else I’ll do, but that’s a good start.

Good Morning!!!! 55F @ 5:30AM. Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. High 68F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.

That's some scary stuff, Fuddy. RTFM. Hope your eyebrows grow back soon, and your underwear wasn't too badly soiled.🤣

Pickle, the neighbor's rooster is already announcing the new dawn. But then Pickle isn't very particular about just when he crows, he's more of an any-time'll-do-ya kinda bird. Doesn't bother the neighbor at all; he's deaf as a post.

Looks like there's plenty of lumber and roofing steel for the shed, just need to sharpen up the measurements to get it right the first time. The previous carpenter didn't seem to care too much about square or plumb, so some adjustments might be necessary.

Something of a novelty to get to a Walmart in under ten minutes yesterday, The SuperCenter size more than made up for it, though. I must have done at least three laps around that cavernous place looking for the stuff I wanted, and still didn't find everything.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

riptides, better to use the beer to cool off than jumping in the ocean this past weekend...the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service pulled 180 swimmers out of the ocean due to...RIPTIDES. Same riptides at Hatteras, where they saved 21.
