I have some dewalt safety googles that fit over glasses. But they steam up inside and within a few minutes I can’t see.

Just found this video containing shots of the fire from yesterday and last night. I recognize many of the locations, and it was pretty hard to watch. New total acres burned is something over 230,000.

Don, I've been shopping for a pair of goggles to keep the smoke out of my eyes, but they'll need to work over my glasses. I haven't found many reviews, just a lot of sales pitches. Any tips would be appreciated...
Fits over glasses and worked for me.

Buppies - I know our summers are ALWAYS hot but this "heat dome thing" is the real PITS. The unfortunate part - it keeps me here in the house where its cool. So far, we have been extremely fortunate - only the lightest of wisps of smoke. And only for short periods on a couple of days.

I think, real hard, about projects that need to be done around the property. Nothing is so important that Brownie and I need to be outside in the afternoon. So we scurry around in the early AM and retire to the cool of the house in the afternoon.
Don't feel bad about staying indoors during the heat. We do a lot of that down here....especially if the humidity is high and there is little to no breeze. I took it easy yesterday too.

Work smarter, not HOTTER.

Had my coffee, wifey made it. delicious. Drew the muffins sound really good. I told my wife we should make some. She made toll house chocolate chip cookies using Ghirardelli chips yesterday. The kids pretty much wiped out the whole batch.

Mostly, was this your main TV? What kind did you buy? Glad wifey is happy.

BEF, hope it doesn't rain tonight. Take some earplugs. Not a huge REO fan myself but I liked a few of their songs. I preferred Cheap Trick as my fav mid west band.

I try to always wear a mask when I mow. Usually wear the N95 with the valve. I would like some eye protection, but the sweat is too much. So I usually have to deal with getting matter out of my eyes for a day or 2 afterwards. I believe I have a case of allergic pink eye in my left eye right now.

Took wifey out for a margarita last night, since it was National Tequila day. It makes me wonder who's in charge of making these special "days".

Have a blessed day all. Prayers for those in need, and our country.

70°F and 1.26 inches rain. The wet remnants of the 2 diminished hurricanes.

Another day out in caretaker land. Can’t seem to locate my drywall pole sander. Of course it has been years since last use. Just may have to get another as it is such a work saver.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

83F and partly cloudy @ 12:30, HI 88 and DP is 71, heading up to a high of 86F. Got 0.34" yesterday and 0.09" since midnight.

Got some more work done on watering rigs after my post last night, also fed 4 boxes of white worms. Have one box that looks like it should be ready to harvest today.

Given the temps and the sun, there should be some good drying today and I should be able to get back on the mowing later this afternoon.

But first a little road trip to get some pretty things for The Woman ... :cool:
