I figure whatever comes out of the asphalt plant is probably both regulated and technical.
Driveway sealing is the land of the gypsies. Two men and a truck.
It's hard work doing it yourself by squeegee but what an improvement over the watered
down spray on stuff.

Below average 64 nice cool degrees outside with a little ground fog. Birds seemed extra hungry today, chipmunks, too.

Roy, I think I remember you driving to work on a holiday, one time, too. They must think you really love it there.

Don, you do a good job of removing the cedars...are there any places that cedars are actually welcome where you live?

Buppies, about time to get back to the beach, right?

Upped my walking mileage yesterday...did 6.4 miles...actually was only planning to go 5. But I did goof off the rest of the day.

"Love" is just one (of many) forms of insanity....

With a bit of luck this will be our last warm day at 29C/84F.
It would be pleasant enough if it wasn't for the humidity, just glad that unlike some I don't have to participate in any Cedarcide.
Don, how do you cope wearing chainsaw protective leggings in that heat ?

Ron, your field edge looks a wonderful place for the deer to snack

Good morning! 69˚F, 98% humidity, clear skies, heading to the 90s, no rain the last two day irrigation system is back on.

Wngsprd there are parts of the park where only the cedars on the trail can be cut because an endangered warbler nest in the cedars and uses the bark for nest. The cows like cedars for shade in the Summer and for forage in the Winter if they are not fed hay.
Eric, I don't wear leggings. It's hot enough with long sleeves and gloves.

Taking off to the gardens this morning to see what I can get into.

Good morning.
Glorious day here today. 64 and staying in the upper 70’s and sunny.

Yesterday’s meeting was pretty productive, I never once looked at my watch. After the meeting I tried out the new cordless hedge trimmers, and was pleased with the performance. They appear to be very well made as well.
Successful trip to my friends shop resuscitate his AC. When I got back home I put new blades on the Lazer and scraped the bottom of the deck while I had it hoisted up. Then spent some time cleaning up.

This morning I’m off to Newport News, but should be home early afternoon to keep making progress in the shop.

My wife has been a hospice nurse for 40 years, and says she is retiring in October. I’m not sure, but I think I’ve been retired most of my life, in that I generally spend my days doing what I feel like doing. I’m not sure that I really want to change anything in the foreseeable future. I think that the key is to enjoy what puts the bread on your table, and I have been very fortunate in that regard.

Nice morning, low humidity. 61°, low was 55.
First cup of OJ poured.

Finally able to log onto computer. It said the restore failed, rebooted it, it took a long time but desktop finally came up, and then said successful restore. Little circle thing would just spin and spin for a long time. Finally was able to use it. All files backed up and new restore point created. It wants to do the updates again that hosed it. Any reboot will trigger them. There was a program I had installed the other night that was corrupt, maybe it caused the problem.

Found a new Dell laptop that meets all my requirements and ordered it. Won’t arrive till September. Also ordered new laptop for church, having video trouble with one there.
Dell has a 50% off Black Friday in July sale.


Will be in AR next month a week before the Big boy comes thru. I want to stay to see it, but doubt I will. It’s going thru Little Rock to St Louis.

Got little sleep since working on computer till early AM. Need to get moving.

Good Morning! 72 F at 7:30 and wet. Had over 2" rain last two days. Rather wet than hot like out west.
Took morning walk to put cracked corn for the turkeys and squirrels. Made the turn on trail and there stood ( 50 feet from me ) the young buck that hangs around since he was born. I have pictures of him growing and his antlers growing. Five point but first year. Around here maybe last! He needs to be more careful! Might get some dry weather for a couple days so I can mow the grass.

Welcome to GM.

77° at 6pm is pretty good for LA.

Good Morning!!!! 70F @ 5:30AM. Sunny. High 101F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Air Quality this morning is an Unhealthy 170, which is a big improvement from earlier in the week. Inside air filter just kicked into high gear to deal with it.

You must be in pretty good shape if you can swing that chainsaw for three hours in the heat, Don.

They say if you enjoy your job, you'll never work a day in your life. You are indeed fortunate, Paul.

It's a relief to see there are still places in the world that are still green and lush with vegetation. Thanks for the reminders, folks!

No issues with the building inspector yesterday, once I explained that the electrical conduit would have only low voltage wire in it. Placed an order with the manufacturer of the Ethernet cable I need. We'll see if they actually have it on hand when so many of their outlets do not. Tried to order clean fill dirt for the trench, but the pit is comes from is closed for several months. Sure hope I don't have to go back to screening what's here to get the job done. Backbreaking work in the hot sun.

Over the weekend I found an ad online for the high capacity fuel tanks I like for the motorcycles and purchased it. It was supposed to be here Tuesday, then it was yesterday, now it's today. Hope FedEx doesn't lose it all together. I feel your pain on shipping costs, Paul, the tab was $80, just to get here from San Diego.

The Dixie Fire continues to spread north and east, gaining another 10,000 acres as of last night. More mandatory evacuations ordered, more power outages as well. Over 3000 firefighters now, mutual aid coming in from all over the west. Hundreds of fire engines are being positioned in the communities for structure defense. There's even a 737 air tanker that got here from Australia yesterday. They must be doing something right, since after burning over 90,000 acres, only 8 structures have been lost.

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!
