71°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 92° today with a chance of more storms this afternoon.
We had pop-up thunderstorms around the area pretty much all weekend. Some hit us, some went around. The lake draining is going very slow. The gas-powered pump only runs for about 1-1/2 hours per tank, and they haven't been very diligent in checking on it. Add the run-off from the rains all weekend, and it really netted no change.
Got some running around errands done Friday morning, then mowed with the ZTR in the afternoon. It was warm, but not too bad while moving around. Saturday was spent puttering inside after dragging some large limbs to the back burn pile. We had dinner with the two boys at a wood-fire pizza place everyone seems to rave about. It was good, but definitely not a $100+ meal. Made a trip to Menard's Sunday morning to get some new deck boards for the dock. Wife decided we should redo the top and paint the whole thing while the water is down. She's going to paint it the same red color she used on the picnic table, as she has over half of it left. Sunday afternoon we went to a BBQ that the oldest stepson's father had at his house. Lots of people, and a pretty good time. Food was all delicious.

Good Morning!!!! 64F @ 7:00 AM. Sunny. High 92F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Never thought I'd hear 90F described as "cool", but that was the word on the weather forecast last night.:confused3: Better'n 105F, I guess, but much past 95F it all feels the same.
No motorcycle ride yesterday morning, either. Nothing but click, click when I hit the starter: Battery was flat. Measured a 0.65 amp parasitic load, so it's no wonder. Fooled around with some connections and it disappeared, but now I don't trust it. Replaced plain washers with crush washers on the forks; one side's still leaking. Probably why front brake isn't working so well...
Here are some photos from the air museum Saturday:
And is A video, TBN will only allow one per message:confused2::
Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!

Very cool, RNG. I read somewhere over the weekend that a similar event is coming to the St. Louis area next month at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield. Perhaps the same event traveling the country ... dunno.

Our camping trip was a success, wife and granddaughter spent lots of time in amusement park while I rested and worked.. we decided not to park in general parking (check out time was 10am, park opens at 11, RVs can park in general parking so many folks check out of campground and then park in general parking for the day and then head home in the evening.. We went on home while daughter and granddaughter enjoyed the park.
We were planning on stopping by our daughter's place (the house build) to see how they are doing, but there really isn't any place to park the trailer so we took the trailer on home, then went out in Tahoe.. They were working on roof trusses, supposed to have a crew there helping but only one guy showed up.. they had just stood up the first gable end when we got there. Wife made us all lunch, then back to work, it was after 9pm when we left.
I might go out later today and see how things are going. I saw a job box on FB marketplace I might try and get, it would save them some time.

Mostly, I will get my valve in about 8 weeks through the TAVR procedure.
I came home with a stomach virus that I think is winding down.
BEF, still thinking about you.
Ron and Betty, prayers for comfort.
My flowers still look great!
Got a week of appointments and phone calls, but at leas I’m here to do it.
Have a good day folks.

This outfit is out of Phoenix, and it doesn't look like St. Louis is on their schedule, There are more than one outfit doing these kinds of demos. Get your tickets early if you want to fly; I found out the hard way they go fast...
