I thought I smelled "wood burn" last night as I sipped a cold one on the front porch. The haze sort of rolled in, too.
Good morning!!!!

Good Morning!
God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly).
62.2F going to mid 80s, no rain in forecast.
finished with sharpening tasks. The wooden plane iron needed substantial correction from decades of hand sharpening — it took about 30 minutes on the #400 Diamond stone to true it up, but then it went quickly after that:
Then a couple hours on the porch before taking the dogs up to the woodlot. Harry got a scent of something and was baying for about a quarter-mile up the mountain —- everyone in the valley had to know he found something!!! I was straight-arm dragged the whole way. I dunno what it was, but Harry wanted it in the worst way
i reinstalled the PTO handle with the flippy thingy - it needed about 1/8” trimmed to fit properly, but it will work:
Now I can try out the brush hog/mower we bought last year. I need to set it higher, it is on the lowest cutting height which the previous owner used on his nice flat cleared fields… that should be fun!
today is more admin duties, then later will be a trip to woodlot with dogs and picking some Choi leaves for cooking before running genny and pump to water the garden again.
I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

Good morning, 71 going to 88 today still no rain
Stacked some more wood yesterday. May do some more today starting on second row
Today is a stay home day and want to go up and put up the no trespassing signs and may do some mowing in the open area of the meadow
Buppies that is a tough situation you have. Wish I could help you but you have my support and we are here to listen if you wish.

Good Morning
70 and humid with a DP of 69. High today about 90, no rain or significant wind. We got 1.3” yesterday in showers scattered throughout the day.
The ground is officially wet, with some areas of standing water, grass is growing like crazy, it will need to be mowed before it’s totally dried up.
Yesterday started in the shop working on the speaker got the crossover and jack plate all assembled and wired.
Made significant progress organizing and putting things away upstairs, did a bit of paperwork for the FAA in preparation for a meeting tomorrow morning.
Had a nice lunch with a friend while wife was at farmers market, saw this brave guy along the lane on my way home. He just sat there frozen, I guess he thought If he didn’t move, I couldn’t see him.
We had a nice break in the weather, late afternoon, son came up with an RC plane, I got one out and joined him, it was dead calm, really nice flying conditions.
After we were done a few more showers came by, so glad to be inside. Had some more fresh corn and a chicken salad wrap for dinner, then a local AC service call that was just operator error. Thermostats are getting smarter than the people that use them. There is a lot to be said about the simplicity of a mercury vial on a bimetal coil.
Not sure what today has in store, it’s about time for a trip to Costco, speaker is about ready to finish, I’ve got parts for the transit connect van, and a bit more paperwork for the FAA to have prepared for tomorrow. I could actually mow, but it’s too wet and there is a chance of rain every day for the next week.

Morning all, going up to 91.
We officially have 5 dead and two very young children missing in town.
Happened right up the road from my son's friends house, flash flood Saturday, many roads still closed. Police still searching for the 2 other children, family up from SC visiting. Father and four year old and grandmother ok, Mother found but did not make it.
Another car with three people got washed off the road. Police found another person in a creek.
I will check later but may need to help out and clear the rocks and debris from the main road out front.
Still need to see if our shared road got damaged from the waves of water that ran over it.
had to dump thousands of gallons of water out of pool and still need to assess fallen trees and water damage, have someone coming out to look at roof leak around chimney tomorrow.
Total was over 7" of rain at last count.
Prayers for you Buppies.

Good morning! 80˚F heading to 105˚ , cloudless sky. "Excessive Heat Warning" till 9P.M.
Today is "No Watering Monday" also the day that the water board will determine if we stay in phase 3 of water restrictions. Lawns are turning brown incredibly fast. I think some people are realizing they can cancel their lawn service for a while.
Lap pool and cards are on the agenda for this scorching day.
