Good Morning! 56F @ 6:00AM. Sunny. High 79F. Winds light and variable.
That Massy looks very simple to operate, Drew. Is it hand throttle only, or is there a foot pedal somewhere out-of-frame?
Looks like your patience was handsomely rewarded, Roy. That blower hasn't prevented snow, just moved it west. Here's a shot taken yesterday on one of the mountain passes east of here. A bit early for this sort of thing, but perhaps it means better snow pack for us this winter.
Yesterday's ride over to Reno took a bit more time than I thought, as I took a batch of coins along to sell, and also had lunch with a friend who had recovered a folding chair I left behind at Laguna Seca last month. Came home with some powder and ammo from Cabela's, but had to order the no-lead hunting bullets I had in mind. They're even on backorder from the manufacturer, so it could be a while. The good news was that the coin sale proceeds more than covered the Cabela's bill, and there are a lot more coins to be sold. Also good news is that there were no unexpected surprises on the road, just one stop for road construction, and the flagger waved us through just as I pulled up.
I'll do penance for my day off this morning by working on the wood pile, then try to get some masking done on the van so I can shoot the door jambs when it warms up later this week. But first thing I need to get a fresh batch of nectar out to the hummers using the 25# bag of sugar I picked up at the Reno Costco. What a zoo that place was yesterday. Makes the one here in Chico look sleepy by comparison. Oh, and get some ointment on a bit of poison oak it looks like I picked up, likely from somewhere on the tractor.
Happy Hump Day everyone!
