71F and clear @ 21:00, heading down to an overnight low of around 61F.

Gonna be a short post.

Was moving some rocks in the bucket with the Kubota behind the pole barn this afternoon, stopped to toss a couple more in and got a little too close (6’) to a Yellowjacket nest in the ground at the rat wall.

Got chased all the way around to the front and to the other end and they were still buzzing and stinging me. At that point we both ran towards the house.

Was nailed probably between 10 and 20 times. Woman got nailed once when one climbed up under her shirt while trying to swat them off me.

Left hand, left shoulder, left leg around the knee, right forearm and bunches around both ankles.

Nasty little buggers.

Still in a good bit of pain, going to go take a hot shower.

Will catch up later.

Sorry to hear of toppop’s passing, sincerest condolences to all his family and friends.

Hope everyone had a better day than me …

Good (Friday) arvo. Well, the weather-guessers got it wrong with their prediction/warning of a frost this morning... the Low was only 6C and it rained = 8.4mm in the gauge. It's clear and sunny with a current temp of 18.3C.

daugen: the vast majority of houses in Aus do not have a basement, but it they do it's called a basement or a cellar.

I'm off to Ross tomorrow, early, for a meeting which should get me back home by 1630.

That's about it, take care all.

I would be in ER with that many stings.

Think I might take tomorrow off and look at a mountain top lot in WV. I hear banjos.

Maybe, will see what wife says.

ouch, that hurts reading about it RS, sure hope you are ok this morning. My Epi pen is quivering....

good morning all. Cool 52 out going up to low 80's in lovely weather.
am off to PT this morning, then Ken stops by and we build the hot tub. Think I have all the parts ready, shall see.
I made muffins for Ken's family since he can't eat them,
but I have a couple of primo tomatoes and a sweet pepper to send him home with.

Drew thought you were going to reference Jinman.
Maybe I should have....need help here, did we lose three people? TBN in general or GM?
This was before me and I didn't know these folks but hear about them.

We all have a time to go. Let's make the most of every day.

Roy, are you surviving the audit?
Buckeye, have fun tomorrow, hope you find something to make you want to stay

hope you hard workers get to go home a little early today
