Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

68F and partly cloudy @ 10:30, high predicted to hit 75F today with northwest winds @ 10 to 15 mph, 0% chance of precipitation.

Good morning.

First item on today's agenda will be to change out the leaking hydraulic hose on the loader.

After that I might go down and work on shoveling out the crossing area on the dry creek bed so the culvert pipes can be be laid and set ... since it's nice and cool out.

Trim back big rhododendron in front of garage with pole saw to get it off the wires.

Finish up prep on northwest planting bed and perhaps transplant some rhododendrons and hosta.

Check newly sown grass seed around catch basins to make sure it's staying moist.

Possibly trim back big Japanese yew on east side of house once that area is in shade.

Recheck grass height ... it could be mowed now, but can probably go another day.

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

Drew I know that you are not in this situation but if you were I would advise you not to move into a 55+ neighborhood. The situation is that if you can think of any reason why you might find yourself in the position of being a caregiver for a minor (under18). The rules are very specific in both my community and the one you are looking at and most people think that it does not apply to them, but it does. A minor can only stay in the house a certain number of days a year.

One of the local high schools had to go back to remote learning because of the heat and that the building isn't air conditioned aggravated by the fact that everyone had to wear masks. I have worn a n95 for pretty long periods of time but those were the kind with the exhaust valve. I saw that LG announced a battery powered HEPA face mask but there were questions about how it would work.

This week has been wet. It seemed like every time I looked out the window it was raining. The rain combined with the heavy dew means that the lawn is almost never dry. I hate mowing wet grass.

Good morning! Hope you all have a great weekend and no labor for a few days. Slacking is mandatory!

67°F and .33 inches rain.

Gonna attempt another day ignoring all those things calling my name, but I swear some of them are getting irritating. Patience, patience where are you?

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

92/104 here at Randy’s Game Preserve and Backyard Wildlife Emporium, as my son in law calls it.

Been out moving implements to create more room in the tractor garage, it’s only 12’x24’ and can get cramped with two tractors, land plane, back blade, York rake and various other things that could be outside for now. There would be a lot more room if the deck was off the MF. I put a docking line on each corner of the plane and looped it in a channel on the ends of the bucket, near perfect balance, worked great.
Now I gotta cool off and rehydrate.

really hot out, 95 and bright sun.
Traffic at 3pm headed into town to get laundry looked like peak rush hour, lots of cars
and trucks headed out early for holiday weekend.

Don, thanks. Not my reality,very specific rules about how often young folks can come visit, just don't stay...
Can't wait for cooler weather tomorrow, these late afternoons in sunshine make it pretty warm in rv even with floor fan running.
Going to get a cold drink and just chill, sort of.

Well, our day just got brighter! Who says the power of prayers is not real! My daughter called with a very positive report.... 98% probability that it is NON-CANCEROUS ! They are scheduling a multitude of tests to try and pinpoint what it is, but suspected infection of some sort.

Thank you for all the support and prayers.... its not over yet, but still very good news!

It’s over, they just haven’t closed the door all the way! Congratulations, and yes, prayer is powerful.
We’ve both been blessed today.
