75°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 84° today. Rain was already moving into the area while I was driving to work today. In fact, it was already 84° before 7am. Dropped to 81° now. Looks like a chance for rain pretty much all day.
The 3 Hs were in full force around here this weekend. Just miserable outside.
The boy called me Friday to ask if he could use the trailer to move a motorcycle. Said he was picking one up to use to take the motorcycle license test on Saturday morning. When he brought it back Saturday afternoon, he told his mother that he had a "problem" with it, but he "fixed" it. That made us both nervous. Said he had left the jack down when he pulled away from the license facility, and bent the bejeebuz out of it. He stopped at Rural King, and they had the same jack for around $40, so he replaced it. I checked it after he left, and it appears he did a decent job. So, now the Rice utility trailer has a new jack.
Spent pretty much the whole day Saturday on the mower. Six hours, as it happens. I didn't cut most of the pasture last weekend, and paid for that this weekend with slower mowing. Some of that grass got a foot or more tall. Still some bare spots, and some seriously rough spots, but it's growing in quickly in the filled area. Going to have to seriously consider a wider deck next year. 42" at a time in a wide open area like that is just too slow.
Winds picked up a bit Sunday, so I didn't get the burn pile eliminated as planned. I did, however, take the line trimmer for a walk for about an hour-and-a-half in the morning. It was quite sweaty out there. Got most of it done, and stopped when I simply couldn't see any more.
Took a nice shower after that, and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening puttering in my studio.
Condolences on your loss, David. That's never easy.
Welcome to the GM thread, Luther.
We typically don't eat a lot of sausage at our house. The Wife is allergic to pork, and all the substitute stuff is just OK. She got some bulk spicy sausage from one of her clients a few weeks ago, and it was really good. Turns out, they got it from a butcher shop in a nearby town that used to be owned by my uncle (Mother's brother) and his wife. The people running it now have a good reputation, and now I know why. This was a blend of beef and deer, and I could not tell by the flavor that it wasn't spicy pork sausage. They package it in those little 1lb tube sleeves like Bob Evans, so it's convenient as well. So, it seems we have sausage back on the menu.
At one point, it was long enough to sit on if I tilted my head back.
