Checking In!!!
A showery, humid 68ºF for today’s low; a cloudy humid 81ºF presently which is probably close to today’s high temperature; waiting for the “cold” front bringing rain and potentially strong T-storms later this PM and later the remains of TS Barry. Doppler radar is getting interesting.

HHH weather through the weekend.
Randy and BEF- My continued + thoughts, wishes, and prayers. Active people confined to hospitals and/or rehab centers is not pretty. Hang in there.
Thomas- Good luck with the bear. For every measure taken there will probably be a counter-measure.


One of the bears here took down a nesting box being used by the tree swallows. Lucky for the swallows it appears the young fledged before the B&E. A temporary fix was initiated and wrens have already moved in.

Lots of bear “scat” around the place here.
“The other issue I've found with TSC is you can rarely find anybody working there that knows anything about anything…. You'd better do your own research before getting there. The search function, on their web site is almost useless.”- Rick I agree with all the TSC comments/observations. At the closest TSC I do not have to worry about hearing the sales clerks’ product ignorance BS; I suspect they are trained to avoid customer contact except when checking out at the cash register.
Ted- Having family returning to NM is awesome news. I wish you all the best. It’s frustrating to read about your continuing knee challenges.
“Kalani enjoyed her steak and egg breakfast, as did Kekoa. So did I ”- David
I hope that everyone is managing their weather; those mending continue to mend; and the rest of us stay healthy as possible.
My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers
