63 right now, with a bit of misty rain (per the report...haven't been out yet). A pleasant 70 today and no rain.

Pretty good weekend...got all my chores done Saturday and a bit or work related stuff done Sunday.

Drew, the two worst animals in the southeast to hit are hogs and bears. They'll tear the whole bottom out, it's like running over a set of cement steps!
I fear you're getting into what I was worried about when you bought the Jaguar, never ending electrical and minor niggling issues. In those years, the Jags and Mercedes were notorious for that. I hope not, very cool car!

Randy, there is another major plus point for Jaguars. As well as travelling in luxury, they are extremely sociable cars. Just look at all those nice vehicle repair people Drew has now met, who will remain total strangers to most Honda owners :)

Good morning. A dull day with some rain coming, but I don't mind as I'm stuck inside anyway for most of the week - decorating our snug. At the moment it is all (best look away for the next word Drew) bare plaster, with one wall having major efflorescence issues, where salts keep leaching out from the old brick internal wall behind.

My wife likes books, lots of books. Most novels get passed on to friends, or a charity shop, with the rest being stacked up for the last few years in cardboard boxes. I intended one day to make some bookcases, however something else always needs to be done, so when a couple of local joiners opened a small shop to display their talents, I couldn't really object when my wife wanted to give them some trade. They are delivering on Friday, so I better get on with some painting.



Drew, good to hear that you didn't get hurt. A bear through the windscreen at 50mph could have given you more than a stiff neck.
It doesn't seem that long ago that you were contemplating the best place to position a trail camera to take a bear pic .... :laughing:

73 going up to 86 today, cooler this week before it heats up again. Will be so nice to have nights in the 60's again.
That night storm rumbled through here last night too, lots of lightning and some wind. .06 rain, not much. Lots of sticks to pick up I'm sure.

off this morning with truck to body shop for estimate. Hopefully it will not make strange noises while driving. The car is sitting in the garage looking like a low rider; it's air suspension unhappy; that goes into shop tomorrow. I have studied every part of the air suspension system, there are somewhat normal age issues it seems...likely the air compressor. Or a ride height sensor. Or a ... But I knew when I bought the car that every part in that suspension would need replacing at some point; for sure a when and not if. And I must say the import car repair place is staffed with such nice people, and they do take my money with a smile...

Then some foodshopping and return home to mow the two front lawns. Will do the rest tomorrow. If I only do a few hours a day, hopefully my right wrist won't swell up again. I really enjoy mowing but just can't do it six hours at a time any more.

David, that pic should be in the Case IH catalog. Buy our tractor, immediately be transported to Paradise.
Nice mow job too.

Good morning! Not usually up at this early hour, but nature called! 63 deg now with forecast for sunny with
temperature in the mid 70's today. We had 1.3 inches of rain overnight, which should put a small dent in
the drought-stricken Southern New Hampshire area.

Speaking of bears and game cameras, I check my game camera yesterday which is mounted on the south
side of the house. I hadn't checked it for over a week.

You never know what lurks out there in the dark of night.

Hope everyone has a good day. Now, back to bed!

Good morning all, 64 here this morning going ti 81. Sounds like a nice day for a change. High Friday back up to 90. Wife's nephew came over with a friend to swim. they were having fun and we asked our family member with autism if he wanted to go swimming and he showed us he did. We carefully walked him into the pool and we stood there for a bit then my wife picked him up and held him in the water and bounced him up and down in the water for a long while. He was so happy and to him it was great fun. After about 15 min he was done and we came in and dried him off and he wanted to lay down for a while. He is 48 and it was the first time in his life that he went swimming. That made it a GREAT day.

Drew Glad you are OK and hope you don't have to hitch hike to long. :( I hit a deer with my 01 Dodge at 55 mph and the bumper shifted only very slightly, deer did not make out very well. Does your insurance cover a rental car?

Eric They tried to get my dad to paint the windows at church. He asked for a 4" brush and said he just started with the glass and then moved to the wood. They got someone else to paint the windows.:)

Have a great day all, I am off to buy some swimming trunks for our new swimmer today. Ed
