Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 5:45AM. Rain likely, heavy at times in the morning. High around 50F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall may reach one inch.
Another rainy weekend, maybe a break Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, then more rain through Thursday. March came in like a lamb yesterday, but it'll be trying to make up for it the rest of the week.
The surveyors finished their work yesterday, and I could tell by the look on their faces that they'd been down in the canyon bottom to the north point of the boundary. I'd never been there before, but took a walk there yesterday morning myself, just to see what was down there. It turns out the seasonal stream that forms the waterfall across the draw cuts across my property for maybe fifteen feet. It's not much of a run, small enough to easily step across on moss covered rocks, but it's beautifully decorated with ferns and oaks, and little waterfalls provide a calming background music. And it's a good thing they do, as the walk into the place is a crawl at times as the brush is still fairly thick, and all the rain we've had as made the ground very slick. I only fell onto my butt once, but there were many times when my steps were sliding down as much as they were going sideways across the slope. I'd started that little hike at the western boundary corner, following the surveyor's stakes to the southern point. They hadn't planted enough of them, as I frequently lost sight between one to the other, so when I caught up with them I asked them to put in more. But now I can say I've been to all three corners on the lot, and if I made that walk every day, I'd be a lot stronger, but maybe a lot more bruised as well.:laughing:
Took the skylight off the van one more time to check the alignment of the plastic lens, which turned out to be pretty OK. Tweaked the hinges to get it to lay a little flatter and lower, hopefully compressing the gasket a bit more, then put it all back together. This time, though, I made sure that the lens was centered on the gasket before tightening the hinge screws, so maybe that made a difference. It's raining outside now, so I'll get to see if my handywork was effective while the oatmeal cooks for breakfast.
Finished up the day buy bucking two more loads of firewood, and I think my butt was making a third track by the time the chainsaw used the last of the second tank of gas. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but it's sure giving it a good try!:confused2:
Hope everyone enjoys a nice, quiet weekend!
also no more 12"+ storms.
