93 with heat index of 104.
The forecast track line has the storm center about 8-10 miles from my house. Calling for an inch plus here. Not much wind.
Ron, those brown outs are very hard on freezers, air conditioners or anything with a compressor.
Poison ivy and oak have never really bothered me much, but what we called cow itch vine down South sure did. I assume it’s sumac.
I think I bought a Woods front deck zero turn, if it checks out as described we will pick it up tonight. It’s an 1850, 18 hp, 50” deck. New blades, belts and general service. I want it mainly for a back up, but we shall see.
I took Ellen’s SUV in for service this morning after our monthly friends breakfast. Ver convenient, my best friend was at the breakfast and he still does minor service to keep his hand in cars. He sold his family owned dealership in 2015 to CarMax.
Went to the bank for mower money just in case, came home and hooked up the trailer, also just in case.
I thought Harbor Freight had duplicated my order again, but they sent me two tarps in separate boxes that were 24x16x6, they could have gotten four in each box, glad it was free shipping.
Careful in the heat folks.

Got the mowing around the house maybe 75% done before the raindrops started to fall.
Temps have dropped to 85F and we are under a severe thunderstorm watch until 21:00. A Special Weather Statement has also been issued.
Time to switch to indoor activities.

Luckily we do not have poison ivy here that I am aware of. I think there is a tree in Tasmania that causes similar problems. Heck, we don't even have stinging nettles here like we had in NZ.

Don, here are pictures I found from others of the parade.
Tried to get Sassy to ride in Tonka truck strapped to trailer.
You can tell from her look what she thought of that.

I have not had Poison Ivy ever before. Had Poison Oak when I was a kid. This will go away in a while. It happened Friday. While I did not see it. I was hauling the trimmings away with tractor. Later we ran the limbs through the chipper.
No problem here. Whole house generator kicked in as soon a voltage got to 108 volts. But most here do not have auto start generators.

When I got home, thought I'd try out that hand held chainsaw.
First thing, of course, was to add bar oil. Doesn't take much...as soon as you start to fill, it's filled.
Didn't have a lot of time before dinner, so I hit a few small (½ to ¾") saplings. It did fine. Probably need to tighten the chain just a bit
My biggest problem is my problem...since the stroke, my right hand doesn't have much dexterity, so pushing the safety button while depressing the trigger was a bit difficult.
I think I'd limit it to 2-3 inch branches...we'll see
Would I buy it again? Most likely, but I'll need more time on it to really make that determination.

He's right, Don! I have a black washcloth and towel that I use only for washing up after I've been exposed to poison oak. I strip off in the laundry room, and the contaminated clothes go right into the washer on the heavy dirt cycle. Then I jump into the shower and with warm, not hot water, use the black washcloth and a mild liquid soap to really go after my arms, legs, neck, and face. I don't usually wash three times, but it's not a bad idea at all. I really rinse the washcloth well, though. And I use warm water, because hot water causes your pours to open and let the oil get deeper into your skin. The I dry off with the black towel, and put on clean clothes. I'll keep an eye out for the telltale signs of a rash or that first little itch, and if I get it, that black washcloth keeps getting used until it's gone. Seems like the only way to get rid of it is to abrade the contaminated skin away, so there's a loofah in the shower, too, used just for that.
Thanks for posting the video!
