45F and cloudy @ 15:45, calling for a high of around 50F for the day.
LWS reports that the low here this morning was 36.5F ... so likely no frost ...
But Frost Advisory issued again for tonight.
After reviewing the Utah State University document on frost/freeze damage for fruit trees we opted not to cover the peach tree.

Collected up the jigsaw + the trigger plate and actuator rod for the live trap yesterday afternoon and headed up to the shop.
Used the jigsaw to cut up almost all of the plywood subfloor from the bath in the master bedroom. Think there is still 1 piece to go.
Burned that to warm up the shop, was 57F when I got up there ... was in the mid-70's within 30 - 45 minutes. Didn't even have to use the blower ...
Got almost all of a 5 gallon bucket of wood scraps and some cardboard burnt as well but still lots to go.
Made trip back down to house to collect up my old glasses (to use when grinding) and the old battery operated B&D drill, batteries, and charger as the smaller corded drills in the shop appear to have given up the ghost.
Got actuator rod and trigger plate straightened out, found a piece of 28 gauge sheet metal to use to make the replacement trigger plate.
Did some cleaning and straightening up, still a long ways to go ... but probably have enough room to get either the Cub or Kubota in to work on them after I remove one item tomorrow.
Started cleaning off the spare set of mower blades for the Cub. Got the good set all cleaned off, set up the sharpening jig and got one of the blades sharpened.
By that time it around 21:00 and time for dinner so I called it a day and went back down to the house.
After dinner I modified the chains that the lights in the greenhouse hang from to get those a little closer to the seedlings.
The tomato seedlings that have survived are getting pretty good sized ... around 4" to 5" tall. Might need to repot those soon. One video I watched suggested waiting until the 2nd set of true leaves appear.
Plans for this afternoon/evening are to head back up to the shop, finish sharpening and balancing that spare set of blades for the Cub, cut out new trigger plate for the live trap + more straightening up and cleaning. Maybe do some transplanting later.
Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday ...
