[kenmbz]

Morning all, 69 going up to 87 and humidity is back, rain later.
New dryer should arrive this afternoon.

Little sleep last night.

Traffic getting to/from south NJ for SIL birthday party was light.

Back to work,

75F and sunny @ 10:30, heading up to around 86F for the day's high. Mix of clouds and sun with a stray shower or thunderstorm possible again.

Thunderstorms that came through last evening which much more intense to the north and east, looks like the CLE and eastern counties really got dumped on.

Heading out in a few to continue with squash planting while that side of the garden is still in shade.

Still need to refill the tube feeders, hopper feeder is probably due again as well, also suet feeder.

Will try to get the weed block fabric down on west side of garden if we get some cloud cover at some point.

Beyond that bags on Japanese Beetle traps need changed out again, still catching some but not as many as when we first put them out.

Grass needs mowed but probably won't get to that until tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great Monday ! ...

Good Morning!!!! 57F @ 8:00AM. Cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. High around 75F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

Another nice day here in Lompoc. Took the dog for a hike at the old mission, left overs for dinner. There are two plum trees here, and we picked half a grocery bag worth to give away today. Had the ripest ones for dessert last night.

Realtor came up with a list of repairs for the new home, which we whittled down to the most significant ones that we'll ask for the seller to pay for. Looks like that list will go to the seller today. Another step closer.

Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start.

Overcast humid morning. Hope we get some rain.
Nice last night for the hot dog roast after service.
We had gotten a light rain at home while we were gone, enough to dampen the ground but not register in the gauge.
Got ambitious this morning and before breakfast gave some squeaky cabinet hinges a drop of oil. Wife been squeaking about them.
I wanted to take shop class but couldn’t fit it in with college prep classes. It would have been much more useful in life than French classes.
But my older brother took shop and I learned it from him. Most of my woodworking projects I did before college, including making several lamps which we still use, jewelry boxes, a bed, and table. We also did a lot of construction work on the farm, and engine rebuilds, etc. I learned needlepoint before I was school age.
I was into music, bought a guitar in middle school, but just never got the hang of playing it. But I was in a singing group in Jr high and we performed once at the county fair.

After breakfast I decided to replace a rotten broken post in my front fence. Wife noticed it leaning last week, it’s been leaning 2 years now, but got worse.

I’ve had a spare in the barn since the last one I had to replace. I’ve only had to replace 3 or 4 posts in 15-20 or so years. I replaced 2 of the rails, and a few under the pine trees are bad.
Snagglepuss approved

Now sitting in front of fan on front porch trying to dry off. Humid out. Got recycling and trash cans in.

I took Home Economics in HS, great way to meet the girls. And, it "Amercanized" my food experience. Mom, being of old Europe about stroked out learning of my culinary direction. Her gift though, in time, won out.

I failed World of Construction in Jr. High. We actually built small scale home thingies. Don't know why I got the "F".
My wife and friends now marvel at my construction skills. "Who built... did the work...what company..." Me, myself and I. LOL. Only time is slowing me down. I have two more wish lists items on my agenda. A nice three car garage, replacing a farm equipment/garage mashup that is a hundred years old, and wrapping my new tool shed in vinyl. After those projects are done, if ever, it's pure maintain mode till the reaper cometh. If I get the garage, I can finish my restomod chevy. So that goal fulfils the dreams.

Marine Corp aviation is buzzing the house. With the nice sky I should go out and see if I can "get some...". LOL.

Good luck, RNG!

It’s always good to hear from another Paul. I hope things are going well with the new job.

Good Afternoon Guys,
This morning I started working my way around the hedge rows in the field with the Ranger, trimming low hanging branches as I went ! Got quite a bit done but then came the heat and humidity back ! I usually cut the field in early June and then again later in September. I really hate getting whacked in the face while running the Bush Hog ! Going to need some cooler weather to finish that project !

All have a glorious day !
