Morning all, 64 going up to 83 and sunny.
Been doing a lot of watering, may have lost a lot of ground cover to wilt, stuff that's been here 30 years without watering. Too dry. Most of the big pines are showing stress.

Spent some of the evening on the phone with Dr and my brother. Uncle is in hospital with fractured vertebrae and some bleeding on the brain from a fall.
So now both brothers doing poorly. May have to fly over, waiting to see what Dr. say about uncle later today. May just need a brace and rehab, he's 92 so not sure an operation would be useful, he's unsteady enough from the failed hip surgeries.

Drew - glad you finally get to see the good side of SF, just don't go up Market street.
I worked in that big pointy building for a while, used to be the BofA building. Great view from the top floor where we had some portfolio managers.

No rain until next week, so watering , the spot sprayer and lawn tractor getting a lot of use. Beats dragging the 100' hose around and trying to shoot water another 50 or so feet to hit anything.

Will need to start moving leaves around already, early this year. Lots of trees turning and it's not even October.

Be well,

A lot of leaves down early due to it being so dry:

Good Morning!!!! 55F @ 5:45AM. Cloudy early with peeks of sunshine expected late. Expect mist and reduced visibilities at times. High 68F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.

Found a couple of issues with the electrical in the RV parking area and back patio yesterday, and had everything up and running by 1PM. Drew will be happy to know that the RV outlet offers two duplex 120 VAC outlets, a 30 amp 120VAC outlet, and a 50 amp 240VAC outlet. That left me enough time to get a pallet of firewood unloaded and put away the tools before dinner.

There's an air show at the local airport this weekend, and all afternoon all sorts of unusual aircraft were coming in for a landing, low enough to clearly see and hear a preview of coming attractions. A dozen or so single engine war birds from WWII mostly.

That had me looking at the skies pretty often, which were getting darker in the east. Radar showed incoming storm clouds, so after dinner I got the growing firewood stack covered with a tarp. Only 0.01" of rain came down, but it was enough to wet the concrete and sound nice on the porch cover for a few minutes.

This morning I'm expecting a Vandenberg launch a little before 7AM. The first stage booster will come down off the coast down Baja way, so no sonic boom.

TGIF gang!

I had the first 12 or 14 albums they produced!
What's an album? (lol)

Drew- anyone who posts a picture of a pigeon is a certified tourist!!

Will make a quick run to CA and back today. Check on our place there before hosting company most of next week. Good weather ...

Everyone have a great day !!!

good morning, 67 going to 81 nice sunny day

Waiting for colder weather to use the new wood stove

Split some more firewood yesterday and looks good to burn

Drew, the SF area is beautiful. Enjoyed my time there but it was a different period back in the 70's. Office on the 50th floor had a great view of the bay

D8 is starting to have some doubts about boy friend. About time. She works 2 full time jobs and he is not working

Maybe he is waiting for a good paying job to fall into his lap out of the sky. Just another deadbeat. If she cuts him loose, he will probably end up on cash for life (welfare).

good morning all
wow why is everyone up so early????
you aren't...I'm three hours late

Plowhog my sister has a tiny balcony on her apt she can't use because the pigeons
roost there and poop everywhere. So that pic of the pigeon really was for her...

had some charlie horses in leg again, from a lot of walking yesterday. I drank a ton of water and tea but guess I needed more.

today will be a quiet day here, BIL picking me up later this morning and we will run some errands then veg out at his house, maybe get into their hot tub.
definitely going to fly the drone a little to get their picture waving from their deck

laptop says 9: 54pm, one more thing to set up. vs 6-51am PST

Good Morning
70° and sunny.
Too much going on here today. I was back from HD by 7:45, and completed the kitchen vent in time for breakfast with the professor.
I’ll check back in later with pictures once I get caught up.
