Good Morning!!!! 67F @ 5:00AM. Partly cloudy. High 98F. SSW winds shifting to NW at 10 to 20 mph
The 10-day is full of 90s temps, looks like Spring got up and left.
First Fire Weather Watch starts tomorrow morning, lasting through Friday night. Low humidity and the usual dry north winds are a bad combination.
Safe travels, Drew. Hope the traffic is manageable. You too, Paul.
Was on the tractor before 8AM yesterday and by noon had finished with the first mowing. All the pre-emergent I sprayed last year, and all the dirt we moved this year, cut down the area for mowing by maybe half. I'll enjoy it while it lasts, because when the weeds and grasses start growing in the newly cleared areas, I'll have more to cut than ever.
Did a fair amount of rock picking in the tall grass, too, but not all of them were found before the mower got to them. Which is why I used the old Bushog rotary cutter. It left the grass looking pretty rough, and there are scalped patches where the dozer left high spots, but better to re-contour them with the heavy Bushog blades than the delicate flail hammers.
Realized yesterday I can just use the two socket head cap screws on the HomeKit moisture sensor to wire it to the leads from the float sensor in the top water tank. That'll send the proper signal when the deep well pump turns on, and I can mount it in the pump house instead of up on the tank itself. Now just need to figure out why the pump controller won't turn back on after the pump over speeds the first time. It's always sumthin' ain't it?
First, though, I wanna get the drone up before it gets too windy and get some high altitude shots of the clearing work and driveway cut.
Sheesh, hump day already...
