Good Morning!!!! 47F @ 4:00AM. Showers early, then partly cloudy for the afternoon. High around 55F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 50%.
It's drizzling now, but barely measurable precipitation has accumulated. There's no more rain in the 10-day. I suppose that's good from a fuels standpoint, in that without water, the weeds and brush may not grow as much, so there's less fuel for wildfires this year. Somehow I feel that's grasping at straws, though, as we're still very early in the rain season. These days, though, I'll take any silver lining I can find.
People don't like change, and we don't like uncertainty. When so much of what we're told by the media turns out to be false, it breeds more uncertainty. And when instant fixes aren't available for our problems, and the CoVid-19 vaccine distribution in this country is an example of that, people get upset as well. So I get why there is so much public protest. Fortunately, the vast majority of it is peaceful, but that isn't what we're shown in the news. "If it bleeds, it leads" governs what we see instead; uncertainty increases. It's very difficult to keep things in perspective in such an environment, but I fail to see there's even one iota of justification that violence can be a part of the solution. Unfortunately, a significant number of folks don't see it that way, and our legal and correctional systems are already packed to the gills. We sure don't need the media publicizing and even glorifying the violence, though. You make a good point, Bill, the GM thread is a welcome bit of calm and goodness in a very troubled world, and I'm grateful.
I miss seeing the results of your green thumb, too, Drew!
Day before yesterday, Ron, a tufted titmouse flew into the garage and wouldn't leave. It was late in the day and I was tired and hungry, so I shut the garage and went inside for the evening. Yesterday morning when I came back out, that bird was circling around, trying to go through the rear glass slider, chirping and squeaking it's displeasure all the while. I got the door open then moved to the other side of the garage which served to finally get it to go out the door. I'm hoping it won't come back with friends.:laughing: Hope you found your drill bit! And hopefully your garage never gets as congested as the one here. Sometimes I have to go outside just to change my mind!:confused2:
Broke down and finally ordered a new phone yesterday. Tried shopping for a deal, but Apple and the cellular companies have conspired very well to ensure that only those willing to pay full retail will get one. What with the good stock market performance last year, I needed to re-balance the portfolio, so fittingly sold some Apple and Verizon stock, letting the two companies finance the purchase took some of the sting out. Verizon's web site didn't, though. It kept freezing, then locked me out when I tried to update a weak password. New phone should be here Monday.
Finished two more pallets yesterday; at a count of eight, I'm half way through the build. McMaster-Carr turned out to have not only better prices on bolts than Amazon, but faster delivery as well. And it was much easier to find the correct grade and size, too.
Need to do some surface mining for space out in the garage in preparation for getting that transmission back together tomorrow. But while the day warms up a bit, I'm gonna take another swing at the PG&E claim and see if I can get another section of it completed.
TGIF gang!:drink:
