69ｰF and only .01 inches rain last 24 hours.

Get to test the washing machine I installed yesterday. Wanted to let the new plumbing joints set overnight.

New experience yesterday. Went to a friends house and harvested macadamia nuts. Not particularly hard, just pick up the fallen from the ground. Got three 5 gallon buckets full. Just for personal use. Now they have to be dried, husked, then can be either eaten as is or roasted. I like both ways.

Be safe
Have a great day

Not many things I like to eat like macadamia nuts. I've wondered how they were harvested. Sounds like you guys picked up several hundred dollars worth, at least at retail prices, here. I have noticed that last year they weren't as large or tasty as previously, but the most recent container was back to normal.

Good Afternoon. 1210, rain mist, 56F with 100% humidity. Forecast high of 58F with 50% chance of rain this afternoon, and a low of 51F tonight. The first day of Winter is a chilly, gray and damp one here. The 10 day forecast calls for sunshine on Christmas Day, but rain and clouds every other day.

Today the sun stands still. Tomorrow it starts back toward summer. For any of you guys who still worship the old Roman Gods, today is Saturnalia, and starts a week of feasting honoring Saturn. {No, not the car company} We still do the week of feasting, but don't think too much about Saturn anymore.

I've got an eight day head start on my winter beard. It hasn't got to the itchy stage yet, but it always does after a couple three weeks.

I've got a couple of Christmas parties at work today, then there is nothing other than our little office party on Tuesday until after the New Year. Some time off will be nice. I may sleep in a day or two.

Hope everyone is having a good day,

Larro

Those old Romans knew how to party too.

Drew: Pics of the mermaid or it didn't happen.

32F & overcast. Just hanging out on TBN mostly.

I'm trying out a new battery minder/charger on the lawnmower today. I don't run it enough in winter to keep the battery in good shape.

The trick with macadamia nuts is letting them dry out to about 5% moisture content and, getting the right nutcracker (although rats seem to do well with just their teeth) Brute force and a BFH works but you end up with crushed fingers and broken nuts. Painful.
