Thanks Mostly and Buppies for the prayers for my son, he woke up in much better condition. Now he can walk, just gimpy.
I'm going in late today. Will leave in another 30 minutes or so.
The other morning when it was 73F here, I nearly needed a jacket. Acclimated. Electric bill was $9 less than last month. Only $373. Those 109F days take their toll.

We have 100° predicted for Monday-Wednesday next week.
Since wife emptied ranger bed I might start trimming forsythias that are way overgrown. Need to just take pole saw to the ones along the trees. First breakfast.

Good Morning
62 with a high of 75 under clear skies for today.
Yesterday was also a gorgeous day.
Fortunately, I spent a lot of it outside.
Got the mowing done, grandson helped, we moved hay, picked up sticks and cut up limbs and pushed them back into the hedgerows.
He knows the drill, went and got the blower to clean off the mower, then he folded the decks up so we could park it. Reminded me to fuel the tractor and blow the screens out before we parked it. Once it was parked, he walked around it, and said to me “it’s good Paul”. Some how my kids are uncle or aunt, wife is Nanni, but I’m Paul. I’m fine with it and actually amused.
Got a little RC flying in with his dad before hauling the trash and recycling to the street and calling it a day.
Today is off to a slow start. Waiting for the FAA to show up, they called and might be late or have to reschedule due to an accident in NJ. That will delay my planned Costco run, but I don’t have a lot else planned for the day.
I have to replace a leaking T&P valve on a friend’s water heater, but that’s it, other than more TSA paperwork.
Hopefully going to play music tonight, put some meatballs and sauce in the crock pot.

Good Morning!!!! 67F @ 6:15AM. Cloudy and damp with rain this morning...then becoming partly cloudy. High 74F. Winds SSE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 90%.
So far, there's not been enough rain to even wet the concrete on the driveway. Kinda hope it either turns into a gully washer, or just stops. As it is, it's just cementing the dust to everything, making a huge mess.
I didn't take a close look at the paperwork yesterday, Kyle, so I don't know off hand what the registration fee is. I did see over $5K in "use tax", same as I would of paid had I purchased the vehicle in Kalifornia.
The trailer I purchased last week came with a Montana license plate, so I showed the paperwork to the DMV clerk yesterday and asked what it would take to register it in California. He said I was missing the bill of sale between the guy I purchased the trailer from and the person he purchased it from, who was the one listed on the Montana title. I found it when I got home, so I'll be making another DMV trip sometime in the near future.
The aluminum I need for the wheel balancer adapter showed up yesterday, only one day after I ordered it from McMaster-Carr. Not bad.
Also got some air in the tires of the motorcycles we'll be loading today, and used the shop vac to sweep up the decorative gravel under the Norton. It's there to soak up oil drips under an English bike that supposedly doesn't have any oil in it.
Got two more rivnuts under the tie down anchor plate, and the last one turned into a mess. I didn't get the rivnut in tight enough, so the bolt started spinning when I installed it. Then the bolt wouldn't come out. Eventually I got it squared away, but pretty sore from being bent double for a couple hours down there on the floor. Put the rivnut installation tool back into the other rivnuts and gave them an extra hard squeeze for good measure.
Slow cooked a rack of St. Louis style ribs on the BBQ yesterday, somewhat offsetting the rivnut trouble. Enjoyed an ear of fresh sweetcorn with it, too.
TGIF folks!

Good morning! Low of 54°, but heading up to 90°, about 8° above our 'normal' high for this time of year. Supposedly going to hover at the 90 mark all next week.
Unfortunately, also no rain.......
Speaking about no rain.... I realized that I haven't cut the fields since last year..... only a few tall grass sprigs....everything else is just crunchy.
Kilroy, you cracked me up with the asteroid pics.....
Kyle, sorry to hear about the son's pain. Hopefully he'll get relief soon.
David, glad Sophie is back and the 'boys' are now happy... I bet you are too!
Buppies, hope you can get the sugar levels down. Any clue as to why it's gone so high?
Thomas, you should start charging admission for the show...
Successful day gathering materials yesterday, but frustrating to say the least. Had to get the store manager involved to get the employees motivated.... at least I got a discount for the hassle.
Today's agenda will be to unload and stage the material, reroute the drip line, and possibly start to dig the hole to transplant the pesky shrub.
I hope everyone has a great day and start to the weekend!

Popgadget, only one word. Priceless.
after PT, went to supermarket to get my cheap corn.
It was ice cold, must have come up in a reefer from down South, this was not local corn.
will take four of the 20 ears I bought for 4 bucks and give them to elderly lady across street.
She and her handicapped SO are on a tight budget, I try to help when I can.
80 cents worth of corn will get a satisfying ROI for a retired financial guy...
I asked what a case was, they thought it was 48, too much for me.
for my current dining, I'll buy the 70 cents an ear from the local farm stands.
Silly to eat old when you can have fresh. Old(er) goes into the freezer for a pot roast this winter.
4 minutes for three ears in microwave. Trying to figure out which is easier for bulk, I have a really big pot for the stove too.
That's a lot of energy to use heating up all that water.
Actually likely to use less energy cooking corn in microwave.
and I've been happy with the microwaving results.
I sharpen my good butcher's knife and chop off the ends
of the ears, just exposing the kernels.
I normally do 3 1/2 minutes for two ears.
and then all those husks have got to get out of the house.
they really start to smell quickly
too nice a day outside to be cooking corn, will do that later.
it's one of those super nice dry days out with a cool morning to start.
you just want to bottle it
and have a slug next week when it's 95 here.
gosh, if it's going to be that hot here,
what will it be like in Texas?
Don, what does your ten day say?

Paul, what a good grandson. I could never get my 2 sons interested in tractors. Oldest says he wants to live where he doesn’t need a tractor, and I say I live here so I can. Right now 3 tractors in the barn and one at dads.
Got one forsythia trimmed way down. No before pic, but hauled 3 loads to other side of creek to my brush pile.
2 hummingbirds battling for the feeder. Starting to see the red under the neck

69°F and .56 inches rain.
Nice relaxing day yesterday. Did get the pool chemistry a bit closer, another adjustment today.
Guys lost at Hand & Foot last night. Reasonably close game, but we trailed start to finish.
Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Morning all, was cold this morning at 57, now up to 73 and sunny.
Day off and Dr. visits , errands etc.
Lost 10lbs in 2 months, with no diet changes, lots of tests lined up.
Hummingbirds got upset with us as I forgot to fill the feeder this morning, now filled.
They come over to the sliding door about 15' from the feeder and were staring at us this morning until we filled it. They must watch me fill it each time as they know where to hover for me to see them from the kitchen.
Be well,
Went and grabbed some more peaches from the tree out back
Pruning services keep coming back daily
Cooked down some of the figs, probably a few more pounds ready to harvest. I let the birds take most of them from the tree.

75F and "Fair" @ 13:00, heading up to around 79F for the days high. Low this morning was 54.1F.
Refilled hopper and both tube feeders first thing yesterday.
Then started on mowing front lawn.
Took a break about halfway through that once the Woman got back to run the van over to relatives and unload items for the yard sale. Unfortunately was not able to unload a large table and some clothes ...
But there should be enough room in there now that I can slide the table towards the front and run down to Menards and pick up the fertilizer ...
Trimmed down the weeds around the tulip tree after I finished up the mowing. Need to spray around that today.
Went back and assessed the strawberry runners that I had pinned down in pots and watered all of them. It's been around 4 weeks IIRC since I pinned them down, so will probably trim them off today and start getting them planted.
Will likely have more runners that can be pinned down into the ground or pots. Should have just enough good weather left to get them started and well-established before the bad weather gets here. Hopefully get another 20 - 30 plants.
Probably pick whatever is ready in the garden.
Plus whatever else comes up.
Woman currently over at the yard sale.
Hope everyone is having a decent Friday ...

Ouch, Frits. Looks like Zion spared the sofa.
Makani has a thing for doggy pillows. Has managed to tear up two, but his thing is to drag it thru the doggy door and I guess he doesn’t really care if it comes in 1 piece or multiple. Our way to save the pillows is lock the pillows in the crate.

Mike, what are you using to break up the chimney? Tiring work I’m sure.

54°F and crystal clear skies this morning, going up to 83° today. Only got up to 79° yesterday. Chamber of Commerce weather around here this week.
Day off from work today to celebrate The Wife and my 10/20 Anniversary; 20 years since first date (again), and 10 married.
Luckiest guy on the planet.
Starlink has been working great. Got the email yesterday that they've already upgraded us from "Best Effort" to full Residential status. So, I did a speed test, and it was at 130Mbps download. That's literally 100x faster than we were getting from HughesNet. Internet access as it's supposed to be. Got the adapter this week, so we got the Nest extenders connected now, which also means all of our outside WiFi cameras are working again. Wife was giggling this morning at how fast internet is now. I did another speed test, and got 200Mbps. I'm OK with this.
Opportunity rich environment here for the long holiday weekend.
Hope everyone is well.
Good afternoon, gents.

I used that website once, and it told me one of the stations in town had E0. Went there, and they did not.
I never liked those NoSpill cans, but I've been using them because they've been the best option so far. I had one split along the side handle a couple years ago, and another has split this year along the top handle seam.
Man, my kingdom for a decent gas can (and real gasoline).
Here are some similar links:
