Good morning!!!!

Good Morning. 0835, overcast, 64F with 93% humidity. Forecast high of 69F with 20% chance of rain today and a low of 59F tonight. It was cool earlier when I was out in the garden picking the last of this year's corn. Not going to get much warmer, but I have a full day and a late night at work, so it doesn't matter for me.

Drew, that is an Alligator Snapping Turtle, known as a Logger-head around here. You do not want to try to pick him up. They will bite.

You guys have a good one,

Larro

yep, definitely not a box turtle. Probably was trying to keep your other turtles company.

Good morning all. 55F and sunny this morning, forecast for 78F light breezy. I think I forgot to mention about .1 inch rain this past Thursday. Fair was nice, lot of car/truck displays, but only one tractor dealer (john Deere). He had a "special" Deere 1025 4 ft cutter, rear blade and trailer to carry all for $19,995.00. Not sure if that was good deal or what. Almost all the food was deep dried, and did not sound good :eek: :confused2: Make up yesterday's ride and putter on today's agenda

67F @ 8:45AM. Abundant sunshine. High 82F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

No skidsteers on the property now, Eric, but I did get to drive one when the concrete contractor was putting in the driveway.

I used a new 30' x 30' tarp to cover up the firewood pallets earlier this week to keep them dry for a little rain shower. Now we're supposed to have a "wind event" tonight and into tomorrow, with gusts up to 50 MPH in the mountains. I know that the tarp will billow up if the wind gets strong enough, and I've seen dairy farmers use old tires to keep the plastic covers on their silage piles in place. So I'll slice up a couple of motorcycle tires I have laying around and toss them on top of the tarp to see if they help out.

Might also sweep out the chimney before it starts blowing. It's no where near cold enough to fire up with wood stove yet, but I am curious to see how much creosote accumulated. This will be the first time it's been cleaned.

I hope the east coasters have a chance to dry out soon, and that everyone enjoys their weekend!

stopped on by the country club marina to see how they were doing with the high tides and it was worth the trip, one could actually boat around the parking lot...
This sort of scene is mild compared to further South. I can't imagine what Charleston is going to look like when this is done. I believe that area got 15-18 inches of rain.
my little manual rain gauge proudly announced "full up"!

Well done, Gary. Looks really neat.

I was expecting a couple more easy going dry days until I realised the weather forecast on my phone had not been updating. When I rebooted, I found the rain is coming later today, although in very modest amounts compared to what some of you have seen. I better get going if I am to squeeze in everything that has to be done. Maybe one day I will learn not to always leave things until the last minute.

As Larro says, that does looks very neat Gary. Could be a good home for a really miniature tractor .

Is what we got done yesterday. Would of gotten the rafters in, but I bought lumber that ended up being 4" to short :confused3: Will pick up what I need on Monday and use the other boards on the bottom part. Hope to finish by the end of the month.

61 going to 77, what great weather, to bad it gets hot again next week.

Don, no one believes I am 60 or my wife is 54 and I attribute that to the way we eat and our lifestyle.
