Good morning! 76˚F at sunrise heading to 102˚. We are on our 7th day of hundreds. No rain in sight but more clouds so next week we will be slipping back and forth from the high 90s to low 100s as the afternoon highs.
Drew I hate meetings. Think they will ever figure out how to change to monthly or quarterly meetings?

Don, sorry, my terminology is weird....Meeting is the name for our church. Each church is called a Monthly Meeting even though we meet on Sunday mornings just like most others.
So when I go to church on Sunday, I am going to Meeting. As for the rest, I'm delighted with Zoom.

raining pretty hard out now.

Got it, it's like meeting and greeting not a business meeting.

Good Morning
59 and light rain forecast calls for low 70’s with occasional thunderstorms later.

Yesterday wasn’t bad, rain was very light and intermittent, and didn’t start until afternoon, so it was possible to finish mowing and work outside in the morning. Had a fun time troubleshooting an electrical problem at my sons. I knew it would be a challenge, as two contractors had already tried to sort it out. It turned out to be a defective Wago style connector buried in an outlet box behind an outlet. It was made of Chinesium, NOT a Wago brand. It was burnt and partially melted.

Now that the mailbox project is complete (and has received its first delivery),I’m off to the next project, although I’m not sure what it will be.

Today, I have to do a little blacksmithing and make a hook to hang a plant, but that will not take long, I might have to resort to cleaning up or doing paperwork to stay busy.

I’m supposed to pick someone up in East Hampton and take them to Trenton this evening, but I don’t think that the weather will allow that. It’s a short trip in the busiest airspace in the country, it doesn’t take much to jam things up.

62° and 99% humidity

.5” rain overnight, heard a thunderstorm in the night.

Heading out for worship soon. In person is 100% better than using video. Video has it’s place for those that can’t get out, but shouldn’t be used by those that can.

I have my little holy terror attacking my hands as I type.

It’s trying to eat the buttons off my shirt.

Good Morning!!!! 73F @ 5:15AM. Sunny. High 87F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.
It was drizzling a few minutes ago, but there was no measurable precipitation in the gauge. The weather guesser said last night on TV that we may get thunder showers this afternoon. Fingers crossed the lightning doesn't start any new fires; we're getting several starts a day as it is.

You're quite the pilot, Doug! Thanks for sharing the videos.

No missing that mailbox, even in the fog, Paul. I'm afraid my mailman would still find a way to put the wrong mail in it, though.

The 18" bar I ordered at the Stihl dealer finally came in, and yesterday I got it mounted on the Makita electric saw. Had to carve a little plastic out of the way on the Makita, and it took forever to find the wrench to the Foredom flex shaft to switch out the cutter. Of course, it was just where it should have been, just buried under something else. By that time it was already pretty warm, so I got one tree limbed up and added to the pile, and quit for lunch. Almost got a nap in, but overcame inertia at the last minute and got a tank of RM43 sprayed on the scattered weeds and poison oak that's starting to pop up in the cleared areas. Could have done another tank, but it just wasn't in me. Way too hot, so I soaked myself down with the outdoor shower and enjoyed a margarita while sitting in the sun off the back porch. Low 90s are quite pleasant if you're wet enough.

Also found time to assemble a bird bath fountain I purchased last year, but learned it will only work in direct sun. The drip that feeds the bird bath is in a shady spot, so that's probably not going to work out. Ultimately I should fix the leak and move the bird bath to a better spot, then just use the remains of the drip irrigation system to keep it full. But that's a job for another day.

Not sure what I'll end up doing today, but there's no excuse to not do something...

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

59 right now...high in the upper 70's

Main chore is to see if I can extend the upper link turnbuckle of the 3PH so I can get the chipper properly rigged. After that (if successful), I'll start chipping the fallen branches before the predicted rain this afternoon...

Maybe a movie or two this afternoon, if it rains...

A couple of hours on Sophie’s BX, I’m impressed.
This is how I started, the swarth on right from flail yesterday.
Notice the 4 ft guinea grass

A bit of progress

Not a lawn, but good enough for a field

I’ll hit the next section before heading for town.

This isn’t a replacement for my flail, but would be nice in less challenging circumstances.
The guinea grass was a challenge but taking half bites worked. And I’m too lazy to do another pass.

Nice job Dave.
