Good morning!!!!

Good Morning.
It’s 69 with a high of 92 forecast.

Yesterday was a hot one, hot enough that I got out of Huntington early, as passengers decided it was too hot to play golf with customers after their meeting. The high point of waiting in Huntington is going to lunch. There is a drug store with a soda fountain in nearby Kenova, WV. It dates back to the 1800’s, and they actually have good food.
Our early dismissal got me home in time to get some work in the shop.

Today’s trip to Maine canceled due to one of the people there having COVID. That means today will be a mowing day for me. I’ll work in the shop and let it continue to dry out until this afternoon, then I’ll give the AC in the Kubota a good workout. I’ll try to plan it around my helper’s nap time as well so he doesn’t miss his tractor time. I’ll probably chase the Lazer around first before it gets too hot, but I prefer to use the big Progressive first, and then hit what is left with the Lazer, it seems more efficient that way. That will depend on how things are going in the shop, and nap timing.

Good Morning!!!! 66F @ 5:00 AM. Sunny. High near 90F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
No smoke in the forecast today, but levels now are unhealthy for sensitive groups. The Caldor Fire burning toward Lake Tahoe is upwind of here now, with plenty of room for the smoke to dissipate somewhat before it gets here.

The number of CV19 cases here continues to spike, and now one of the local hospitals is reporting cases on its Facebook feed. Most of the cases are coming from unvaccinated people, no surprise there.

That floor came out nice, David. Always nervous about doing something for the first time.

Hope the booster goes OK for you, Drew. Thanks for being our canary in the coal mine.

Poured enough weld metal into the grizzly frame yesterday that I'm almost out of shielding gas. I'd like to wait until tomorrow to resupply while I'm in town for groceries anyway, so may need to switch to other jobs if the bottle goes flat today. Working on the sides now, and still have some cutting and fitting to do, as well as figure out how I'll prop things up to steady them for final assembly.

Happy Hump Day!

75°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 97° today. Car's dash display showed 99° when I was leaving the city yesterday.

Looks like our relief comes in the form of storms on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday.

Morning all, Got some veggies picked- still too wet to work on downed trees.

Stay safe and be well.

Drew, I saw at the lab Monday that the antibody test only cost $43.
For a cruise now, proof of being vaccinated and a covid test are both required. Antibody test are not considered.

I was all set to buy the antibody test kit but docs said it was only 80 percent accurate. I guess you could take it twice...

this morning went off without a hitch, well organized by local hospital at their urgent care facility, asked two staff about only being 5 months out and was told
immediately "don't worry about it". ok.... we'll see how tomorrow morning looks.

Wide mix of folks in line, they had all three vaccines available, and one Karen got into it
with the guy next to me after he quietly asked me if I thought the vaccine pushback was politically minded, i.e. starting with a T, and this woman, who we were in no way talking to,
went ballistic, started yelling all kinds of crazy stuff, we almost had to call security. The volunteer went over and asked her to restrain herself. Geez, some genuinely crazy folks out there.
Hair triggers just waiting to be tripped. Woman had some serious anger management issues. She didn't have to worry about distancing, everyone promptly moved twice as far away from her
as possible.

now I have a couple hours of reading/studying for a school board orientation meeting tonight, thankfully zoom.

of interest, local supervisors now going back to hybrid/zoom meetings

Ken, cool hawk pic. Something was about to become lunch.

No shots here on doctor’s advice. Some patients that had a very bad time with Covid are at risk of significant reaction to the shot. My doctor is still advising caution as she feels there is sufficient risk of a severe reaction.
