Good morning! 66˚ southerly wind heading to 90, Summer's back.

Eric you should not have killed it. It was trying to ask you a question.

Kyle 6:30 is too early for kids to catch a bus, they could take your tractor and leave at 7:30.

From a distance I could see the sheep behaving strangely. As I got closer it was clearer to make out that something was upsetting them. They were acting as if they wanted to run away, but they couldn't because they were being drawn towards a strange alien life form that was slightly pinker in colour than RNG's uncooked steak. It was slowly making it's way through the long grass. Suddenly it made it's move. It certainly didn't look as friendly as one of Drew's tractor driving aliens as it lunged towards them, then it is must have realised I was there and tried to escape down the hillside. Without regard to my own safety, I rushed over and got hold of it, pinning it down on the ground. It's bloated body wheezed and crumpled under my weight. Even in it's dying moments, it still exerted an almost hypnotic effect on the ewes.

Yet another substantiation of the origins of the term "sheepish".:laughing:

RNG Your second pic looks like the fire is at it again.

If it hadn't been for the dust devils, I'd have called in an alarm. Especially when the first gusts caused streamers of ash to fly from specific spots, presumably deep piles of the stuff. It looked a lot like smoke off a fire, and I could easily envision left over hot spots being fanned back into flame by the wind. But as I watched and the wind became stronger, the ash was blown from everywhere and it became clear it was not a rekindled fire. Others were confused and did call in the alarm, which was found through investigation to be false. Better safe than sorry though.

Before the hurricane gets to those of you near east coast, looks like projected path takes it right over our facility at Guantanamo Bay.

Prayers for safety for our troops babysitting the terrorist t_rds still housed there.

Good Morning! 51F @ 5:15AM. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 68F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

Looks like those on the east coast should keep a sharp eye on hurricane Matthew, as predictions are trending to a more westward track than yesterday. Still too early to tell, but it could be a very rough weekend for millions of folks. Haiti and the Dominican Republic are really getting socked now with phenomenal amounts of rain.

Got some housekeeping yesterday morning, and a bit more after returning home from errands in the afternoon. Everything I needed at the auto paint store was available to continue the sanding, so I might be able to finish that by the weekend. Also got some aluminum ordered for a dust shield I need to make for a gap in the bell housing.

Just about dinner time a pair of buddies on their motorcycles rolled in after looking at and purchasing a new-to-them KTM 950 Adventure SE. Apparently the motor had been heavily breathed on by the previous owner and one of the two couldn't wait to get his money on the table. So we celebrated the acquisition with a nice spaghetti dinner and a glass or two of good red wine, all served with a healthy dose of road tales and tire kickin'. Today they have to figure out how to get the new bike home, but lucky for me their plans don't include my truck or trailer, at least not yet:laughing:

62F and sunny @ 10:00 ... high for the day predicted to be 75F. Beautiful weather through Friday ... sunny with highs in the Mid to upper 70's, then considerably cooler.

Wife got sticks picked up off the lawn around the house yesterday and about 1/2 of it cut. Will try to finish it up today.

I got the steel cut yesterday evening for the bottom row of cross braces on the backstop on the pallet forks before I quit for the day ... have to weld those in today.

After that, mebbe try and get the welding finished on the soil/gravel screen ...

Hopefully the new field for the Milwaukee angle grinder will show up today, so I can get that put back together.

Nice week leading up to Matthew, praying it turns east, against the odds. Now it's up to the hurricane driver, I'm praying he steers away.
Like Drew said, all I can do is move the furniture off the decks, put the trash cans in the garage, and pray!
I use to throw the deck and pool furniture in the pool before a storm, at the old house, kids and neighbors thought I was nuts, until they realized how simple and safe it was in the pool.

52 this morning and headed to 84 today.

Birds are all gone now to start cleaning and getting ready for another flock.

All on the east coast stay safe.

Oh no, my printer died of old age. Any suggestions on a new one where the ink does not cost as much as the printer, and can also print from iPhone?

Any decent printer has wireless and air print nowadays, the last three I've bought have been subpar compared to the older ones, durability and function wise. They have more stuff, cost less and don't work as well.My current is an HP, previous was a Cannon, before that a Dell, I wouldn't recommend any of them.

Not looking good for Drew, or us.

Depends if you want, need color I have switched to the Laser as they are cheap now and the ink doesn't dry up when not used. Cheaper to have photos printed then having to buy ink all the time!!
