Your only on the other end of Route #4 from us,

Little over 150 miles round trip almost over nighter way I drive.

Hope today rain doesn't cause any more problem for you folks.

Good Morning
67 and won’t see 80 today. Line of showers passed through before 5am, leaving.28” behind. Chance of more today, and then a decent weekend.

Yesterday reminded me why I’m still doing this instead of retiring. The people that we picked up in Martha’s Vineyard brought us a very nice gourmet lunch, which we enjoyed much more than the convenience store wraps that we had brought with us. We are very lucky to have the nicest clients (of course it’s because I fired all the ones that weren’t). But it makes it fun instead of work, and allows me plenty of time in the shop and on the tractors.
The pickup of the other plane went well, and I was home early enough to make some progress on the Transit Connect projects. The only thing left is to finish the radio and backup camera install, the harness for the radio is all done and it works, have to run the wires to the back for the camera, and find a source for the reverse sensing to activate it. Worse case scenario would be a connection at the back up lights run forward with the video cable.

Today is back to Martha’s Vineyard with the same people we picked up yesterday. Then hopefully finish the Transit Connect. Nothing else planned for the day, but that should be enough.

I replied “I know — I am calling to say Thank you. My vehicle thanks you, my kidneys than you, my back fillings thank you. And thank the crew for getting it done so quickly.”

Stunned silence. Then,

”nobody ever thanks us.”

Most times a little thanks goes a long ways!

Morning all, 69 going up to 84, light rain.
retrieved one of the Ash plank benches to refinish and add metal legs and started sanding it down. It's been outside for 2 years, so it needs an overhaul.
Too hot and too much day job to do much else, do need to clean up garage as it is getting messy.
Have Yellow Jackets nesting by rear sliding door, so need to hit them with tempest before they get us.

Happy anniversary Phil!

Back to work, more people are leaving..what is it about a rudderless ship?

Be well,

Especially since the next thing she said was “All we ever get is complaints.”

Happy anniversary Phil!!

Happy Anniversary Phil and wifey!!!
38 years calculates to 1985.
Do you all like '80's music?

was a lot of work digging the strawberries out of the raised bed.
remarkable root structure, but I don't want strawberry plants, I want berries....
Wish I could have given the plants to RS

So then I redirected the winter squash plants into that area and out of the blueberries.
They should be a lot happier there.

dark cherry tomatoes coming in, looking forward to trying them

came in and took a long shower and shaved off four days of beard.
After chemo, my hair grows much faster, just wish it also didn't grow in ears and nose...

doesn't look pretty but lot of tomatoes coming in
ones in cages grew seven feet tall, these sort of fell all over the place

with the exception of the mold from all the rain, tomatoes seem happy, have been fertilized,
sprayed with neem oil and No Rot/calcium.

69F and "Fair" this morning, headed up to around 76F ... a big cool down ...

Got another week's worth of meds doled out first thing yesterday.

Then went up and snagged that circular piece sheet steel from up in the shop ... looked to be around 12 ga. and 16" across. Laid that down on a shovel to keep it up off the plastic, worked very well to heat up large tip on burner. Was able to melt 5 or 6 holes at a pop ...

But it wasn't a very pleasant task, as the high yesterday reached 87.3F. Not sure what the heat index was but it was up there in the 90's. Only saving grace was there was a breeze and a good bit of cloud cover at times.

Got another row of holes melted with 18" spacing.

Got the rest of the peppers and all of the eggplants (12 ?) planted:

We did get chased in at one point around 18:00 with a brief downpour.

Woman ended up staying inside and fixed some sloppy joes and oven baked potatoes for dinner.

I went back out to try and finish up the planting.

At some point before I finished a Severe Thunderstorm Watch was issued and then a Dangerous Thunderstorm alert.

Actually ended up with a number of severe weather alerts all over northern Ohio.

Storms hit just after I got everything put away and got inside the house.

There was a Tornado Warning issued for Medina, Wayne, and Stark counties. We were actually just on the edge of the path but for some reason NWS didn't issue a warning for our little corner of southwest Summit county.

Lots of wind, lightning and thunder, and heavy downpours. Power and Internet went off several times but thankfully didn't stay off.

Nearby LWS reports we got a total of 1.58" ... which is good because we needed it. Would have been better if it had occurred over a number of hours rather than 30 minutes though. Still, I'm not complaining.

Agenda for today:

Probably hook up the core aerator and hit the yard while it's nice and moist.

After that mow the parts of the yard down here around the house that I didn't get to the other day on account of it being too dusty.

Hopper feeder needs refilled, tube feeders may need it as well.

Probably start working on getting the cabbage plants in the ground.

Hope everyone is having a decent Friday ...

69°F and .2 inches rain

The guys pulled it out with a win last night

Having a bit of fun playing with security cam placement, but none permanently mounted yet. Placed one in the bedroom just to watch the dogs while gone last night. They actually spent most of the time outside. Need to find a view point that covers there. These cams have a built in speaker & microphone. At one point I used to call them by name. In the house they came and right up to the camera. Excited of course they recognized my voice. Every time they came in subsequently they went right to the camera looking for me. No, I didn’t tease, just quietly observed. So much better than my old Foscam cameras. Will fiddle more with placement today. Hopefully get them mounted

FedEx scheduled to deliver the new mattresses. Bases haven’t shipped yet.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Happy Anniversary, Phil and the Missus

Good afternoon. Drove up to Mason City and took a ride in a C-47: "That's All, Brother"; reportedly the "lead plane" of the 800+ D Day troop transports. Well worth the $. There was also one of the two "air worthy" B-29's there: "DOC". Perfect day for flying.
