Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

National Weather Service forecast this morning:

Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 3pm. High near 83. South southeast wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

So far today I've gotten 2.5" and it's still raining.

Plenty warm today. 94f right now. After something like 3 weeks with no rain the rains came and the grass is greening up nicely. Yesterday my wife brought in the first bowl of red raspberries. Delicious! I suspect that there were berries before that but they never made it into the house.

Covid precautions are disappearing around town. At the hardware store face shields are gone if they ever did much good. They have peeled up the distancing lines from the floor and took down the plexiglass shields at the cash registers. I didn't see anyone wearing masks at the grocery store.

"Rick, you need to turn off the rain vacuum and let some of it fall up here! "

We'll likely be wishing for some of .. in July / August.

Was it your neighbor, I met in Austin, the one having to sell his tractor?

Yes, it is the same neighbor.... he is selling most of his stuff off at this point.... tractor, 20' new PJ trailer, 2 horse trailer, 12 and 14' enclosed trailers. All but the horse trailer are only about a year old.

Low 90’s and dew point in the 70’s, as they say here on the Shore, it’s close out there.

If I was only closer, I’d go for 12 ft enclosed trailer. The PJ sounds nice also.

Afternoon all!
Best wishes for Sophie!
90 here and humid! Not the best day to go to the neighbor's house and dig a 20 foot trench to install pavers and river rock on the side of his garage.
Got it done but sure am beat now!!

Have an electrician coming tomorrow so I will be able to rest while I watch him work. When hes done it will be up to me to put everything back together and in place.(not looking forward to that. Laying on my back putting plywood back up under the deck/sun room.)
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Nice to see this in the news today. Seems to ba a very prevalent disease.

FDA Approves New Drug To Treat Alzheimer's Disease​

The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug to treat people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The drug, which goes by the name aducanumab and was made by Biogen, is the first drug approved to slow the cognitive decline caused by the disease.

74F and mostly cloudy @ 20:00, headed down to 69F for the overnight low.

Didn't hit 90 here (83F was the high I think), but with the dew point being 70F, as top says: it was close out there today.

Got chased inside by a heavy thundershower mid afternoon, then a little after 19:00 it started sprinkling again so we called it a day and came inside and had dinner (Woman's ham and bean soup)

Dunno exactly how much we got total, but there were puddles in the yard after the first one for a little while.

Nonetheless we managed to make a little progress on the blueberry patch/raised bed garden area to be:

Even managed to dig up 4 of the 6 volunteer oaks and get them potted:

Should be able to get it finished up and get the plants in the ground tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a great day ...

Good evening everyone. Big news today - the provincial government went into “Stage 1” of opening up, meaning that we can now have short term renters coming to our rental property. That is just great, because the whole summer was booked solid, and we didn’t want to lose any customers. Have a few chores to do, like mowing the lawn, and installing a few boards here in there. Then, I will have the whole summer off from taking care of this place, except for Saturdays, which are checkout days.

Really hot here the last few days, and we had a short rainstorm here, which made it very, very muggy for the rest of the day. Had to paint the new generator shed later on in the day, it was no fun with the muggy hot temperature.

Just sitting out on the screened in porch with a glass of wine right now, listening to the loons, and the Canada geese, and the squirrels chattering away, while the dog barks every once in a while when he sees or hears something. Very relaxing.

Have a good evening, guys!

Only 84 new cases in our state today, 250 still hospitalized. Wish they would drop the work mask mandate.

I guess it’s good evening now.
It was another hot one today started out about 70 and made it to 90. We had occasional showers pass by, Tempest said there was lightning 20 miles away, but I never heard thunder.

Got all the mowing done yesterday, started early on the Lazer, and finished up before noon with the tractor, so I beat the worst of the heat. Went out and trimmed some low hanging branches that were an annoyance on the Lazer, and picked up other dead branches along the hedge rows. Then put my feet up and enjoyed the AC.

Today was a shop day, got one speaker off to FedEx and processed 3 new orders. Had to deal with some airport authority issues, spent a batch of time on the phone and with emails. Then DIL called me to see if I could play with grandson while she went to a doctors appointment. Odd fellows zoom meeting after dinner, and next thing I know it’s after 10…….

First of all, they made the name where no one can remember it....

Prayers for Sophie. And our crew.

RNG, maybe Randy would have an original pair of "Brougham" metal insignias to go along with vinyl top. Maybe if I can get the dents smoothed out, I could buy a similar color matching roll of vinyl wrap to cover roof. LOL.

 

[sodamo]

No clue as to why we got a call come in early as Sophie ended up being last patient of the day. Made for a very long day. Will learn more when visiting ophthalmologist on Wed. Will be glad to get home tomorrow.
