Good morning, the low is 67 and going up to 86°F. Wind SW 2 mph now, increasing to 12 mph later in the morning. 40% chance of showers later.

I'm going to hook up the trailer and go get another load of compost today at about 11. I'll put some of it where I disturbed the dirt taking out the tree roots and the rest can go down on the west side of the driveway. I'll leave the trailer hooked up because the game plan is to get one more load tomorrow and that should be the end of the driveway project. And the end of the first of the optional projects for this summer.

That is about all I've got on my plate for now.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
warm sticky morning and a hot day ahead with thunderstorms this afternoon.
I was a little lazy yesterday so will continue with projects today.
after breakfast will wash rv and work on car speakers
lawn crew never showed up yesterday, need to follow up with them.
I think all the rain has their schedule messed up, though I only need weedeating and they do that in the rain
it seems.

those lovely squirrels pulled one of my home made bird feeders completely apart, yanked one side off.
hmmmm, seems I pin nailed it and didn't use enough glue.
not this time....Titebond III slathered everywhere and screwed in. The wood will break before that comes out.

this is the one birdfeeder I have with a small entrance, and clearly squirrel wants it bigger. Game on.

hope you all have a nice day
Phil, need to pace yourself, garage sure looks better! Probably too much gripping, bet your arms are sore

72 going to 92, probably more t-storms.

Seems like I'm mowing some part of the yard every other day...still better than drought. I started sharpening my mower blades outside yesterday and a t-storm that missed us seemed to circle around and ran me inside before I finished. I have an idea when I raise the mower to swap blades, I'll have to do some mining through sedimentary grass rock under the deck to find the old blades.

NHBX, I frequently tell my wife, I'm not wishing summer away, but only xx days until October.

Thomas, I like that snow scene. I looked at a couple of mine earlier this week.

Buppies, I hope the new meds dose does the trick. Precious will mellow.

A friendly couple that I talk with when hiking in the park flew to Iceland yesterday to do some backpacking. They're about my age and have been training hard to get ready...they did a couple of overnights at two of the toughest climbs around here at The Priest and Three Ridges Mountain. I looked at some of the terrain in Iceland...beautiful.

Good All-Star game last night. Wife made a peach cobbler. I ate too much.

Good morning TBN!!!
71 this morning going up to hot! Scattered Tstorms later.

Getting ready to leave for Ohio. Used to make this drive in 71/2 to 8 hours. Anymore it involves an overnight stay someplace LOL

Time for a second cup
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

have no idea how this popped up
if you need a new clock and you are a motorhead...boy this is you


there is no way it could move that chain and still be accurate...would take world's strongest clock motor with perfect timing
what a conversation piece

drive safely Happy and stay happy.

Got Morning,
Ct, 71 to start going to 90 or above and the humidity to go along with it.
Work this morning but only a hand full of deliveries. Thank goodness for that.

Dennis, I will let you know what happens with that install. Right now, I still have another deck to install the Trex on, and it’s too darn hot for that IMO. So probably this fall.

More grand kids over this afternoon for more swimming etc. The grass needs to be cut so we will see how much ambition I have later 😉😂

I guess that’s it for now, hoping everyone has a wonderful day 🙏
