Good Morning!!!! 61F @ 10:15AM back in Yankee Hill. Considerable cloudiness. Slight chance of a rain shower. High around 70F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.
The seat was wet on the side-by-side when I went to take the trash out this morning, but there wasn't enough rain to register in the gauge. What's on the radar is still west of the Coast Ranges, and usually falls apart before it gets here. Next chance of rain isn't until a week from Monday, but it's not looking good cloud cover wise for next Saturday's annular solar eclipse.
Maybe this article will help with deleting large numbers of photos on your iPhone, Drew. Also check your email app and delete as many emails as you can, as many will have large attachments. Been thinking about the new iPhone, mainly due to the camera improvements, but too much sticker shock right now.
Not sure I'd have the nerve to push a self parking button on one of the new cars. That's a lot of damage to risk, not to just my car, but the ones parked in front of and behind it. And even with cameras, you still can't see well enough to jump on the brakes in time if it goes berserk mid park...
Mostly smooth trip home yesterday, except for the two times a strong side gust knocked off the cruise control and the anti sway braking automatically kicked in. Always scares the 'ell out of me 'cause it feels and sounds like the engine just took a dump. Then the radio turned itself off, came back on briefly, then went off again. Had to hit the power switch to get it going again. Interwebs answer is "they all do that". Humpf.
Saturday was my chance to give back to my buddy down south for all the help in landing the new house, and subsequent help unloading the van. Installed new wiper blades on two cars, then replaced a switch for some overhead lights in the garage, but had to remove a cabinet someone had built around the water heater to get to it. Uncloggged a drain in one of the bathrooms, and finished off making some bait for a yellow jacket kill station I made from a sports drink bottle. The yellow jackets will take Fipronil laced bait back to their nest and in a week there will be no more yellow jackets in the neighborhood.
Sunday we hiked with the dog on the beach, one that had been closed during the plover (bird) nesting season. The dog even found a ball somone else had lost, one printed with teeth on one side. Looked pretty goofy when the teeth on the ball aligned right with the dog's mouth.
Then went back to my place and got the lawn mowed and a few more boxes unloaded. They were full of kitchen glass ware that I'd packed by wrapping in t-shirts and other clothing. A two-birds-with-one-stone solution to a lack of packing material.
Made measurements of all the rooms at the new place, and now need to make up scale drawings to figure out where the furniture and shop tools will go. Should save a lot of time moving things around, especially important for the lathe and mill. Be a good day for it, as it's damp and coolish outside, and the ground is just wet enough to discourage outdoor projects.
Hope everyone's week got off to a great start.
