Good Morning!!!! 77F @ 5:30AM. Partly cloudy. High near 100F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Thanks for taking us along for the cruise, DABSGT. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!:laughing:

Yesterday may have been an expensive day in the market, Drew, but only if you sold. No telling when it will bottom, but my recollection is that August is a good month for profit taking, and when it's all over, for snagging some good bargains. It always comes back at some point.

Got the rest of the drip tube run on the eves and gutters, and circuit number three works great. Learned that the remote for the sprinkler controller will only run one circuit at a time, but haven't figured out if that's a limit in the remote or the controller itself. Back to the book on that one. Still need to tunnel under the patio for a couple of feet and drill a 1" hole in the concrete to finish the last circuit, so that's on the agenda for this morning before it gets too warm. Stayed out in the heat too long yesterday and paid for it with an extended round of energy conservation in the afternoon/evening.

Except for my Dr appointment today. I can conserve energy. It has already started raining.

72°F and rain this morning, going up to 90° today. Morning rain has rolled through, but more is expected this afternoon.

Wife said she's talked with the landscaper over the weekend, and his excuse was that his pump needed to be rebuilt, and he should have it done and back in service by Sunday or Monday. When I got home from work yesterday, still no pump. Starting to think this guy repairs VW's on the side.

Made an evening trip to Rural King in Highland to pick up a new paint brush and some more screws for The Wife's picnic table project. She decided to flip it over and put up the 10x10 portable canopy so she was working in the shade all morning. Rather than driving out the existing nails and replacing them with screws, she opted to just put the screws in next to the nails. When I told her to be careful she doesn't split the wood, she scoffed and said, "I'm drilling pilot holes first" :thumbsup:. She got the seat boards done before running out of screws, and will probably finish the table top boards today. She even has a plan for repairing one of the partially split support boards.

Great pics, DABSGT. Seems everyone is doing that cruise this year.

Good Morning. It's 75°F with 91% humidity and no wind. High today is expected to be 98°F. Our forecast for the next seven days is 100°+. I'm thinking Spring is over? We've had 3/8" total in last seven weeks and nothing on the forecast either.

Plan for today is some trimming / edging around the house and more limbing up of trees in our 9 acre "yard" to add to areas I can cut with the 55 hp cab tractor and RFM.

RNG .... sounds like good progress on your sprinkler system.

BEF ..... glad you're making progress.

Randy .... looking for good news from you as well.

Ron ..... hope the Docs can help resolve your wife's issues.

Don ..... I never realized Pilates had so many benefits, thanks.

DABSGT ....... very nice pictures, thanks for sharing your vacation with us. I'll look at them when we get our 100°+ days this week.

PJS ...... "I'm drilling pilot holes first" ...... smart lady.

Hope everyone has an excellent Tuesday.

Prayers to all.

When you call for help, and no one responds, it's not breaking the rules.......


Prayers for Ron's wife.

When I had back surgery (almost 5 years ago now), they wanted me to be assisted to get up and go to the bathroom. I followed their rules, they asked me why I wanted them to come every time I went to the bathroom, I told them it was their rules, I was happy and able to go without them, they let me after that..
