62 going to 87. Feels great.

Sodamo, nice job on that camera system...didn't realize one could be done that well and for that price.

Bigfoot! Sounds like fun. Kil, seems like he/she gets around...saw something about one being spotted near here.

I must be doing something wrong. Took me over half a day to clean off my Zero turn and then do 350/400 hour maintenance tasks...seems like the lube part takes forever. Also, ran up against one zerk that just wouldn't take any. Of course, it's the hardest one to get to...under the motor and above the frame on the drive shaft. Backed the zero up on ramps, and was able to tap it, and then push it open and see a bit of grease ooze out...but nothing getting in. Had to quit for dinner time.

Took another swing at the hornets at dusk...I'm striking out. But I have a new plan for this evening.

Things didn't work out for going to the mountains today, but I'll get some local rocks under my feet.

Mark, you asked for a photo of the European hornet nest. It's inside this tree.

It has been fun watching them...always a guard at the hole...it sometimes challenges incoming hornets. When it gets hot, one or two will sit at the hole beating their wings to fan the inside.

Good morning! 78˚ heading to 100˚ again as it has been all week.
We have a new member to our household, Mom's 18 year old cat (pics later) not as pretty as buckeye's cat but a very easy, friendly, slow moving cat. We adopter him after mom died last week, it was a rough week but things are getting better. Mom wanted to stay in her house till she died and she was able to. She had a normal morning, fed the cat, had breakfast, regular good visit with the visiting nurse, waved at the Mailman through the window, Then died at the mailbox.
Kitty and I are sitting in our screened-in patio watching the sun rise.

Good morning, 61 going to 86 no rain

The new Makita string trimmer is getting a good work out. Impressed with battery life and with 4 batteries it never runs out. The line is holding up well
The Stihl trimmer may stay in retirement.

Wife wants me to go up in the vegetable yard and do some weeding and seeding.

Also did shop classes in HS. Always liked it included things like wood working, home economics, knitting etc, crocheting. Left school at 15 for apprenticeship as blacksmith/truck and farm equipment mechanic.
