All you folks in the path of the storm, take care, it looks like some will get 25"-40" of rain, I thought getting 18" in a few days was bad!

Pretty day here today and got the next week, lower temps and humidity. Guys showed up at 4:30 this afternoon to start the siding job, finished the whole back of the house except the top row and J-channel and were gone by 8:15.

Good evening all. 74F at the start, overcast, calm wind, 1.7 inch in the gauge. Thunder storm hit about 7:30, temp dropped to 72F, 2.7 more in the rain gauge. Water was over the road at the low water crossing, second time in 2+ years I have been here. More rain in forecast for tonight. This is NOT Harvey. With all the rain today, worked on consulting, got 6 mons. billing submitted, Did get up to date with all work requests. Drove to town this afternoon for groceries, made it back and napped

Gotta love the Sears warranty program.

This is the shelf clip I could not just buy on my own:

And this is the service receipt:

A new rail with 4 clips will be sent to me. I will install it.
Tech was here maybe 10 minutes, mostly talking story. Never saw the actual broken part, just my pic.

Good morning all. Very little wind this morning, it is looking like a good day to throw a bit a paint onto some of the recent little welding projects, like the bonnet guard for the Iseki.

On the other hand, I really ought to get on with levelling the ground for where my wife's greenhouse is going. We have now been married for some 14, 598 days (plus a few more for leap years) and it would be nice to keep her happy for a couple of more days, instead of her looking back thinking how much better life could have been, if only she'd married someone who finished jobs on time.

A good Friday morning to all. Especially to friends in Texas expecting simply insane amounts of rain coming in, up to one meter of water. A meter...gosh.
going to be a lot of damage and the Red Cross will be busy.

I'm up early, good morning Roy..., first cup of coffee tastes good.
Kubota is sitting outside fruit orchard with a full bucket of mulch. Loaded that last night since my mulch pile is a little close to my neighbor with a new baby.
Weeded all the fruit trees yesterday, fire ants in about six of them, dosed them and walked away. I'm sick of their bites, second on my list next to bees...
This morning as the sun comes up I'll be out there in 68 degree temps "making donuts"; what I call my mulch rings around each tree. Each year they go a little further out, unlikely to
get any bigger, but these water retention rings masked by mulch really make a huge difference in whether trees make it past their first few years.

64 outside this AM. Today looks to be an awesome day, weather wise. Do some paper work, make some calls, and go sit by the pool.

Here is hoping for the best for those in the path of the hurricane. Stock up on the clean water, canned goods, gasoline and make sure those generators work. If your prone to flooding, don't even mess with trying to deal with that. Please be safe. Prayers for you all.
