up way too early, kept looking at time on pc and then finally remembered Fall Back.

Snuck up on me this year, I had somehow missed it coming. Hey, a free hour I didn’t know I had!

yup, nice it's light out now and not even 7am;
but since it's 35 out now, definitely waiting for sun to warm up the world

38 outside right now, may get to 60 today.

Not much going on, attack of the mad mocking bird and ladybugs yesterday. There was a coordinated move on two sides of the farm house. The bird must have Od on dogwood berries as it kept trying to get in the kitchen window. It got so bad the wife hung a towel over the window to discourage the behavior. I hear it singing now as I am typing, but at least it is not on the window. The lady bugs are coming in everywhere from the south east side of the house. The vacuum cleaner is getting a workout.

The wife took me for a RTV ride to rescue the game cameras we had set out last week. The ride was rough on me. We let a good deal of property go back to mother nature a while back up along the creek. I still manage to cut some trails through it for access. I had noted early last week when I did the burn pile a nice natural trail has developed. Small animal and deer I thought. Close inspection revealed it was Mr. Beaver. So the game cams got put out.

We captured some nice videos of Otter, Beaver, Possum, Racoon, Squirrel, too many deer and a really nice buck.

Interesting, only the Buck was in all pics and vids during the day and night time.

The otter had two other friends that played through the trail at fast speed.


Mr. Beaver.


And the nice Buck.


I'd like to catch the otters and beaver during the daylight. The beaver has lots of food now in that area. We hope he or she will not take out any more big trees, if that starts up again, the traps will have to be set. One thing is certain, he or she has provided a lot of water for other critters since it has been so dry here.

Hope all have a great day. And, thanks to all for the well wishes. Be safe.

These were the tables in water last week. They were reserved for a Birthday party yesterday.

Good morning! 45˚F heading to 75˚
Yesterday was the best weather day of the Fall festival. 67˚ no wind, no dust, not too hot or cold, no mud. Rain was forecasted which kept people from coming out early but the crowds returned in the afternoon.

A nippy 26 this morning, the sun starting to peek through and burning the frost off the truck. Lots of wind and a bit of rain during the past week has many of the leaves off and blowing around. Need to get the blower going and clean off the deck and out of the inside corners around the house.
Strange at all the daylight at this time but it's going to be terrible tonight when it gets dark so early.

All stay safe and well

My jet heater is running under my trailer in the driveway now, as I try to thaw some frost off it to start paint prep for today.

you have 35 degree cold soak on that steel, have fun.
many a squiggly paint job for me when I painted on surfaces too cold.
Then I got an IR temp gun and stop doing that.

I'm figuring around 2pm today in full sun will be perfect for you.
but I doubt you will wait that long...

somewhat perplexing that my prior post was held for moderator approval.
does squiggly mean something bad??

oh, now I see, I can't say temp gu?
I'm sure it will get approved.
what else do I call it, a temp probe?
