70 outside this AM. Heading toward 90. Brief thunderstorm last night gave us some much needed rain. According to my scientifically proven method of measure, horse grain buckets, about 1/2 an inch. The lightening was more impressive, it managed a bolt that brought the wife into the house. That left me to complete the chores. Hey, dark, rain, bolts from above...what else could be entertaining? How about crossing paths with a skunk who also was just trying to call it a day. LOL. We managed to avoid each other.

Morning chore time and pick up sticks today. Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

good morning, 67 going to 84 today. Hard rain storm last night Did not last very long though

Oldest son's birthday today. He was adopted as 10 year old from a boys home in Giddings, Texas. He is mentally handicapped but holds down a job with Walmart.

Property tax changes came through with a slight reduction. 400 dollars per acre for forrest zoning vs 500 dollars for ag zoning

D is still working through the phone being stolen. Not easy in a foreign country. May be a random act or gov sponsored act. Who knows?
She has survived on two hours sleep a day for a while. Months of vacation time and accumulating fast because of comp time instead of overtime pay

The pressure washer is cleaned up and working but not for long. Seems it runs out of fuel after 20 seconds or so. Pulling back on the choke makes it run a little longer. Maybe the float needle valve is plugged? The GX 340 runs strong when it runs

Made a pork roast on the grill. It may not be a Lynx but it works good

Harpers Ferry is such a pretty and historic place. We go there often and enjoy the views. Hope that bridge was not damaged from the fire. One of the music stations shows pictures from around the world and this one of them

Good morning, the low is 47 and going to a high of 68°F. Wind N 2 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

Mrs Igor is coming at 10ish and junior will go to the neighbours to help her put her window air conditioner in.

I am going to slightly change the way the SMV sign is installed. Just a matter of 3 zip ties. Right now I cannot get at the air filter, but after I make the change I will.

Part of my problem is my 56 year old teenager doesn't like to go to bed to sleep. He will fall asleep in front of his computer and eventually get into the bed at about 3 A.M. Then I wake him at 9 and he takes 2 hours to drag his butt out of bed.
But I gotta give him credit, he does all the cooking and washing up as well as cleaning the house and whatever I get him to help me with outside. The outside work he does ALL of the bull work once he knows what is going on.

After Mrs Igor leaves I will change the design of the SMV, then I might go to town and get more gas on the premise of a 'road test'.

M7040, Happy Birthday to your oldest boy.

Have a safe day all

56 year old teenager doesn't like to go to bed to sleep. He will fall asleep in front of his computer and eventually get into the bed at about 3 A.M.

I've the newer 1988 model. Works full time, usually nights, now rarely to 1 A.M.. He makes fair $$ but got in the habit of staying up to 4 A.M. online. Sometimes it takes a fair amount of parental dynamite to get him moving earlier than 3 P.M..
But Friday he will go with me to lift a couple of 160lb electric motors I bought on surplus into my Ford Escape.

Good Morning
It’s 63° with a high just over 80 and clear skies for the day.
The front that came through last night left us about 3/16” of rain. Not enough, but better than nothing.

Carpenters have been at it since before 7, they have been working until 6. That explains the rate of progress.

I don’t have a lot planned for today, I want to clean out the firebox on the smoker and load it up, I’ve got some pork shoulders and a brisket to prep and smoke. Probably do that on the weekend.
Have to move hay from the shed to the barn, probably do that early while it’s cool outside.

I’ve also got to locate a buried propane line and the conduit that runs to the generator to prepare for trenching for the sewer line and propane and generator feed to the old folks home.

The heat and lack of rain have given me a reprieve from mowing, so it might almost be a day of leisure.
