Good Morning!!!! Already 79F, and it's only 6:30AM. Partly cloudy. Near record high temperatures. High around 110F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Neat story, Thomas. That's one lucky grandson!

Looks like you made Sassy's day, Drew. Maybe Ron's, too?

I tried to watch that Lethal Weapon series too, Paul, but missed the irreverence and political incorrectness of the original too much.

Gave up on a Netflix SiFi movie after ten minutes last night, too. No plot, just a never ending intergalactic shoot 'em up.

The house chase continues with the seller issuing a request to make a "last and best" offer to the three potential buyers that are interested. I told them they already had mine, and reminded them it expired last night. And I mean it, too. If they come back and say they'll take it, they'll learn I'm no longer willing to assume the 2nd mortgage, having come to my senses overnight.

Got one tank of glyphosate sprayed before the side-by-side overheated again yesterday, and couldn't really tell where it's leaking. I'll try to be more careful refilling the radiator today so I'll know any wetness observed is coming from the leak and not my spilling.

Unboxed the new pressure washer I picked up last week and gave it a brief trial. Works pretty good, and a lot quieter than my old gas powered version. A lot smaller, and more convenient to use, too, being electric. It doesn't hurt that it came with a thirty something foot long power cord, a nice surprise in this day and age.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend.

Morning all, 75 going to 79. Heavy downpours.
Got over 3.5 " in less than an hour yesterday and water came in waves over the shared road.
Trench is a full river and had some minor flooding in pool.
Roads are a mess as the rocks the town put in the trenches got pushed out by flooding.
Drove over multiple downed branches and large piles of rocks to pick up son from work last night, and of course one of my headlights went out on the way down.

Police asked people to be careful and they are on search and rescue today!

More trees down and the rain is back to heavy this morning.
Emptied a few thousand gallons out of pool and will need to do again today.

Surveyer on the bridge told me the Leica setup they use is about $170,000, far cry from the theodolites we used in college.


Ron - take it easy and feel better

Kilroy sounds like a fun evening, but you need to "pacify" the stinging flyers.

Phil - the woodwork is getting to the next level amazing.

PopGadget - if you need help chain sharpening let me know, I do all mine by hand including rakers and after doing it for 6 or so years can keep them really sharp.

Raining heavy enough now that the river is back..Clouds seem to hit the ridge above us and just dump rain. According to the rain gauge over 1.5" since I emptied it at 11pm, so 5" total so far since yesterday afternoon!




Anybody want to do some white water rafting in my side yard?

Don;t know if the videos will work, but quite the wave over the road between my neighbor and I.

67°F and .22 inches rain.

Looks to be a beautiful day ahead. Likely will get interior mowing caught up. Sounds like a match for my ambition at this point, but I’ve yet to do my bike or have my coffee yet.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I got the message. Lol.

Was working on the pool pump and the walnut tree decided to shed a branch.

Only missed me by a few feet. I ducked and stumbled away from the crack noise. Time for the chain saw....
