Good morning!!!!

Good Morning from SoCal,

Going to mid to high 70's today, with the always present breeze... should be a good day.

Done with the coffee, just one cup, need to LUBE up the new Brush Cutter.

Then over to Harbor Freight, need to look at their Post Hole Digger.
Any opinions on a Hand Held type Post Hole Digger vs the Tractor Mounted Unit ?

Hope all goes well for the crew out there !

70°F and no rain looks to be a pretty day ahead. And a busy one attacking my 40 ft LP line. New plan thought out. Proper prep is gonna be key and unhurried execution. Concerned that small errors could be magnified over that increased distance and most likely a one shot attempt. Tighter working space on both ends. Will document and post later
Coffee first

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

California will get snow and possibly two months worth of rain from back-to-back-to-back atmospheric rivers - CNN
RNG, at least no forest fires in this...
93 here and folks will be snow skiing in the Cascade Mountains.

More weather hype, Drew. May is the start of the dry season out here, so it doesn't take much of a storm to set a new record. I've been drowned out of campgrounds by rain on Memorial Day weekend a few times in the past.

I'll shoulder my share of the responsibility for the storms, though. I need to be out working on the van and landscaping, and the rain puts a stop to that. My house guests from last night also get some; they left early this morning to cross the Sierra Nevadas on their motorcycles before the next storm front got 'em wet. And I'm afraid their stay in Boisie will be a little more than moist...:laughing:

Rick, We do have those finger boards and were shown how to use them on longer boards longer than the samples we were practicing on.

Drew, puncture proof gloves, Free sample for our TBN business maybe?
Puncture Resistant Work Gloves

Good Morning!!!! 57F @ 10:30AM. Partly cloudy skies this morning will give way to cloudy skies and rain during the afternoon. High near 60F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch.

Early start this morning preparing coffee and nuking breakfast burritos for the guests. They were on the road by 8, and I've been in the garage laying up more sound deadening panels, and puttering while the glue dries.

Hope this recovery is a quick one, Buppies, and you too, Drew!

And I hope the weather breaks in your favor soon, Ted; it's gotta be maddening not to be able to exercise that new tractor!

Ancient and illegal Bill? Sounds right up our alley...:laughing:

I'm thinkin' that with all your new found experience and planning, David, the next hole will go a bit more smooth. :thumbsup:

I was hoping to get some weeds sprayed before this next storm set in, but the herbicide didn't have any time defined between when it was applied and when it was rain safe. Looks like it'll be on and off wet here until Wednesday, so I'll just wait for it to dry out. May need to do a little mowing first though: The weeds along the driveway'll probably be a couple feet high there by then.

Hope everyone's weekend is a pleasant and restful one!

The impact of the coming storms in this part of California won't be as large as it's looking for the rest of the country as they move east. Texas and Oklahoma particularly, watch out!

I have one of the HF augers, it's ok, but no comparison to a tractor mount. I did probably 30 holes with the hand held. It will definitely make you aware that your muscles aren't up to the task....you WILL be sore. Once I got the 3 point auger, the handheld one has just been a wall ornament in the shop!

It will all depend on your tasks... Just a few holes, then go with the hand held. I use the big PHD for a lot... Digging holes for trees/shrubs, landscape end posts (retaining wall bracing), fence /gate posts, etc...

Yep, this morning the NWS forecast for us was 74 degrees going for a high of 82 with an 80% chance of rain. Well, the rain arrived just about noon and so far I've gotten 2 inches and it's still raining.

Buppies, prayers. Hope for good news.

David, thanks for description. Not sure i exactly followed, but you got it done.

Drew is done picking, and im planting.

Eric, thanks for the pics. Really pretty gardens.

Im still 20 posts behind reading...

Got garden tilled. Then started planting. Using new hdpe weedblock from amazon.
Much heavier than the landscape fabric. Even put it between potatoes and corn rows.

Im wore out, got all planted but last 2 rows of corn. Wife only bought 2 small packs.

When tilling, noticed some plants growing, was pumpkin where i tossed the one from last yr, so tilled around them and will let them grow. At far end of garden, so out of the way.
