Hit 90°, now 87° and dark sky, thunder, lightning. Severe thunderstorm warning.

Got .04” rain from that storm.

Wild blackberry and raspberry are the best. I have some, just enough to nibble on.

Yesterday was a very good day:

- I was notified that I was approved for Medicare (took 24 days to process my online application).

- I was able to mow all the berms and low spots that had not dried out since Spring began. The grass was very high (maybe 2 feet) but not thick. So, the mower took care of the grass easy.

- I got a head start on trimming tree branches so I can mow without ducking. The branches are all cut - I still need to take to the burn piles.

- as it was in the 80’s, I got a good amount of weed killer down. Hopefully the warmer temps will help kill those weeds extra fast.

It was a good day.

Today, I need to recuperate.

Wife and I went and sat in a Mustang yesterday to see if we liked it. While there we also checked out the new Ford Ranger XLT. All very nice.

Wind stopped so flew drone. Just started light rain from storm cell passing 20 miles north, we are at very bottom according to radar.

Weeds growing in garden Left to right, 4 rows corn, 3 rows potatoes, 3 rows green beans. Then cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe where plastic is down.

Hmmm

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Got left end of garden tilled as another thunderstorm approached.

I only saw a few corn stalks coming up, I think it’s a loss.

Severe thunderstorm watch, most storms have passed north but there are storms popping up all over.
Hit 94 today, 78 now. Hoping the rain finds us.
Doctor’s appointment today, follow up from hospital visit everything checked out.
Got a hose splitter and sprinkler hose today, hose end isn’t clamped correctly and has leak, clamped it more and it leaks less, but leaks. I guess Amazon is getting it back.
I made tuna cakes and Mexican rice for dinner. I make the tuna cakes just like crab cakes only with white meat tuna. I like the crab cake recipe better than the tuna patty recipe.
Have a good evening.

Don’t be too hard on the Deere dealer or the Honda dealer. The supply chain is broken right now. We are dealing with it daily at work, I am dealing with it outside of work. As is anyone else ordering anything. What ever is in the schedule is in the schedule, there are no changes for the better, it only gets worse.

We are dealing with critical production and high volume service parts being quoted with 6 - 9 moth lead times. It is a mess

And any light in the tunnel is just another train coming at you.

How true, and unfortunately it seems to be coming an easy excuse.

Fork Mountain is where Herbert Hoover's wife liked to take visitors hiking. It is forested on top, so hard to find good views now that the leaves are out. But I found one hidden spot to take this shot of Old Rag rising through the clouds.View attachment 700019

I’ve always wanted to hike old rag but never did.

I started hiking Old Rag in the early 1980's. Always went up the east route and usually down the east route. Carried 3 children up on my back when each was about 2 yrs old. Used to be a spring ritual. Stopped doing it about 2005 or so.
Fond memories overtaken by too many people. Up to the early '90's parking was easy. Last few times had to "satellite" park.

At spots like this I would tie a rope around the young kids and let them walk near the edge.

Good memories.

Eric, I can do HDPE pipe up to about 2” or so, forget the exact sizes, but don’t know how you would do flat edges together.

Nope, the eclipsed moon.
Overcast tonight, but usually sized more like yours.
