45 right now...high in the lower 70's and rain.
Chores to consist mainly of picking up meds (blood pressure and something for my aching back) at the pharmacy. I'd like to get the lawn mowed, but it's probably too wet for that. Heavier rain predicted for tonight into Sunday, so if I don't get it done today...probably isn't going to get done until Monday at the soonest.
So...maybe I'll just take the weekend off...

65 going to 85, rain storm hopefully this afternoon.
Eric, good one.
I tried Skin So Soft years ago to keep no-see-ums away at Cape Lookout - didn't like the results...some others did, however. I found the best approach was to just leave the island.
Kyle, you've been busy!
I’ve never found anything to work on no see ems.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 56° with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 80° with scattered thunderstorms mid day. Yesterday was a great pleasant day touring around the countryside. My cousin did the driving. Not sure what today will bring. Still have 40 bags of mulch to spread.
Lots of flowers and wildlife as we drove around. This one caught my eye. It was in a greenhouse.
David, glad the cutting is done. A little digging and the new LP line will be in. :thumbsup:
RNG, get the bike done first.
Eric, great picture.
Don, our dog would never let me put booties on her. So I took here to dog park in a wagon. Also the black top streets in parks made her feet black.
Randy, Happy Birthday to your son.
May the best of your today be the worst of your tomorrow.
Good Morning All.

Good Morning! 74˚F before sunrise heading to the 90s.
RNG that dog in boots youtube made me laugh. Whipper did act like she was stepping in snow for the first block but after that she walked normal.
Drew, good looking box of veggies. I need to run to the garden this morning. I'm also taking care of a neighbors who went on vacation.
Some in the garden use their plot for flowers.

Drew, I used Downy drier sheets to keep mice out of RV. Found that Decon worked best.

Good Morning!!!! 57F @ 4:15AM. Showers early, then partly cloudy for the afternoon. High around 75F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
About 9:30 last night the wind started blowing and the sky light up with lightning flashes as a large thunderstorm cell passed a few miles to the east. Just after I went to bed an hour later, the phone rang when the authorities left a recorded message that the storm was in the area?!? By then, the storm had moved completely out of the area. This is the same warning system that sent the warnings about the Camp Fire either too late or not at all. Clearly more work is needed...
Looking at the long range forecasts, it looks like afternoon mountain showers may linger into next weekend as well, and that may wash out plans for a camp out in the southern Sierra foothills. I'll have to keep an eye on that one.
And now there's another large cell bearing down from the north, making enough noise to wake me up. From the looks of the radar track, I don't think this one will miss.
Glad the Whip likes her new booties, Don. Some of the dogs in that video were chewing on theirs, trying to get them off.
Don, Ron & Eric, beautiful flowers! Thanks for sharing the photos. We've had so much rain that the lupines have regrown and blossomed again in the lower meadow I cut last month.
Well, I did get some work done on the motorcycle yesterday, but started off putting the original drive shaft back in the van and taking it for a drive. Had to loosen the transaxle and front differential mounts to let the two move a quarter inch closer together first, though, as whoever put them in to begin with apparently just made a guess as to where they should be. It made no difference in the vibrations, which were present in the 25 and 45 MPH ranges, but missing again at 65+. So the smoking gun is pointing at the front differential, so it'll be next on the list to come out.
A new-to-me center stand for the motorcycle was delivered yesterday morning, so I finished the day test fitting it and making some weld repairs. It came from the same model as the exhaust system I'm using, and features a well placed lever to step on when hefting the bike up onto the stand. Unfortunately I got my paint job started a little late, and ended up finishing in the dark using a flashlight to see what I was doing. And what I saw were lots of runs that dripped paint onto the patio.:muttering: Good thing it's mostly out of site under the bike, as it's certainly not a very good example of my best work.:laughing:
This rainy day wil be good for more motorcycle wrenching, and maybe some reading up on what's inside that differential.
Hope everyone enjoys their Memorial Day weekend, and remembers the fallen that gave all to preserve the way of life we all enjoy.

As far as I'm concerned, that's too hot for anytime anywhere. 72 degrees here this morning, a bit cloudy and going for a high of 89. Just finished second cup of coffee; gotta go get another one.
