wngsprd,
We've been living inside that thing most of the month...over 13.5 inches of rain so far...one spot on the other side of the area got 8.68 inches just over the last 24 hours.

I'm putting pontoons on my zero turn and swimmies on the chipmunks. Funny how the cool rain has made the hummingbirds eat in a frenzy, more than when in the 90s.
-------------------------
All that rain and still more to come that should wash the spots of the fawns.

Ron,

Sorry to hear of Muffin's passing.

Our friends here lost one of their cats yesterday through a tragic accident.

Hard to deal with a loss of a loved pet.

73F and sunny @ 11:00, high predicted to be 82F.

Last of first coat of BLO applied to auger rack bottom yesterday, also 2nd and 3rd coats. Drilled for additional 4 x 4 pieces, and then got those screwed on. Also more sanding done on top of rack ... should be able to get that finished up today and get it put together.

The Woman noticed that there seemed to be something in the live trap last evening after dinner. I didn't even bother to check it yesterday as the bait had been raided from it a couple of nights before. Sure enough, there was good sized raccoon in it. Got MMM removed and FEL put back on and handled that. Makes three so far this year.

She was also making some noises about wanting some desert so I said "Oatmeal raisin cookies" and she said "I might just do that ..." ... but ended up going to bed instead. So I made up a batch last night and left them on the counter for her to find this morning ... :thumbsup:

Got more retaining wall block and geogrid ordered from Menards before I went to bed.

Possibility we could see some rain from that line of showers that Ron was seeing and we could sure use it - in July alone we had a rainfall deficit of a little over 2.25". July was also the warmest ever since record-keeping began.

Plans for today:

Finish up auger rack.

Finish up filling in around catch basin, seed grass, and cover with straw.

Take down oak tree in front of garage.

Probably some other things to do if we get all those done.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable, productive, and safe day.

Ron, I don’t know what to say, Godspeed.

BEF, it was a year ago yesterday that I got out of the hospital after a three week stay and a new stent. I really didn’t start walking well until I had my valve done.

Wng, I know the feeling, another .64” this morning. Our ten day total is around 9”. You guys had even more.

69°F and .03 inches rain.

No set agenda for the day, just take it as it comes, but after my 4 miles on the bike and coffee.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day
