Here is a sweat shot of the front porch work.

You mentioned you're using a scraper, and I'm wondering if one of the oscillating tools would work for you. Here's a HF offering with good reviews. I used one of their cheaper models to make plunge cuts on particle board, and trim the bottom of door frames. Done some sanding with them, too. But I'd get one from Bosch or another reputable supplier if I had it to do over again.

Those oscillating multi tools can be very handy.

About 4 hours with the flail mower. Got drive with palms and nearby area that I had been brush hogging last few times.

John got a drone shot about half done

Good morning, just realised I inadvertently had skipped lots of pages on here yesterday - probably explains why the day seemed so long. :laughing:

RNG, I sure don't envy you going at those fire truck innards with a wire brush, just hope you find plenty of metal left below to weld to. If other tank coatings prove too expensive, bitumous paint is cheap and sticks very well to steel that has seen better days, it is a good insulator too, which will help a magnesium anode last a long time.

Eric, do you use a WGBT when working in your muck?
Ron, unless you are asking if I had a dyslexic gay rights activist to help , I think you meant WBGT . Have come across wet bulb measurements before, but not the GT part - heat not often that plentiful in our climate. Will be interesting to hear more from Don's enlightened weather station.

Eric my comfort index: temp over 90 and dew point over 65F = sweaty weather :(
My comfort says : temp below 60 and dew on the grass = sweater weather. :)

good morning all
another hot and humid one, 78 now going up to 97

David, what a beautiful place you have; drone shot is wonderful

Doc yesterday put me back on statins, said my LDL was too high despite my protestations about leg cramps.
She said that was because dose was too high, 80mg and she put me on 20. That plus baby aspirin daily should help with
avoiding blood clots she said. Ok, I'll try again. And then she said, after consulting another doc there, that would be good idea if
I had an implantable heart monitor put in, despite two weeks of another heart monitor showing absolutely nothing, have never had issues with heart
but I guess if one has had one stroke, however small, they get nervous. Personally I think they are trying to generate business, so now I'm referred back to
cardiologist who said I was fine three weeks ago. Hmmmm. Think I might object and ask cardiologist for a second opinion.
I was given the "if you have afib it can cause a clot in 6 seconds". ?? well, I don't have afib, and I wonder why the worry.
So it's back to trust but verify.

starting to box up my belongings, trying to put as much in storage as I can, since storage unit is 8 minutes from rv campground. I had to buy things like dish detergent in packs of three from Amazon, so why keep extras on the rv, weight is never good. Deliveries coming in daily from online, staff is nice and bring them to my room, wondering what in the world is going on...

tomorrow a big day, go and get the rv and take it to campground and hook it up. Should be a sweaty mess by time that is done. Sure hope everything works. Need to check propane level first, if low, need to stop at propane dealer and get them to fill it up. Hot water heater runs only on propane so important that is full. Sure won't need heat for a while... Have to buy electric space heaters all over again, they got sold when I wish they hadn't. Hindsight...so many things I'm having to rebuy, wish I had not listened to siblings who said no no, using storage too expensive, shipping too expensive. So I got ten cents on a dollar for likely about 30 grand worth of furniture, supplies, etc. Not a good decision, but flip side of that was I never expected to bounce back this fast or so well. My siblings are adamant about my not living in rv, seem quite happy to spend my money to stay in assisted living. So...once I'm all moved in, I'll let them know, fait accompli. Deal with it folks...I'm safer in the rv than I am here...

today I need to order from Publix again. Facility keeps serving dry slab o ham for meals and I need other food to eat. Wind up having to drink extra water if I eat too much
of the salty ham. I love pork, just not ham. Plus it's processed which in itself is a health issue.
and every morning it's eggs and sausage or eggs and bacon. No wonder my cholesterol has gone up...

75 outside this AM. RAIN--whoop, whoop..last night, after I yapped about it. Not much....but will take it. High today in upper 90's. Heat index should be around 100 again. Of course with the "storm" another branch came down, blocking the driveway. And that, of course, is from a tree that will not get any work done to it. The end of the month cannot come fast enough, tree work scheduled.

Nice and foggy now, cannot see excavator in front yard. Mostly, no cab....not getting on that until it cools down some. That's the excuse, anyway.

RNG, I have a mini-sander, but the grits I was using, well I had better results scraping then sanding. I'll check-out that tool. Thanks.

David - Paradise.

Hope all have a great day today. Be safe.
