"They" are trying and people are not reacting very well.

Thanks for that explaination of the donuts in the sky. I can't recall ever seeing that before.

Good Morning!
Still getting rain off and on here in the piney woods. Cool temps but high humidity.
Got several errands to run this morning and some outside work to do if it's not too boggy.
The constant battle against vegetation continues!
Everyone have a wonderful day and remember, every day above ground is a good one! Think of everyone who would miss you if you were gone.
Prayers for our Nation!

plans changed, my cohort in crime cancelled due to not feeling well.
So change of clothes and time to get something accomplished.

Good Morning!!!! 61F @ 7:30AM. Abundant sunshine. High 83F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Yesterday's high again fell short of predictions here, but it was much warmer down in Chico during the shopping trip. I'd be surprised if it broke 80F today. Supposed to get a half inch of rain tomorrow.
Pretty flowers, Ron. What are they?
+1 on EBC brake pads and rotors. I use them on the BMW motorcycles to save some money on factory parts.
We see airplanes and helicopters making similar patterns up here pretty frequently, Billy. Folks say they're doing some kind of survey work. Also happens with the spotter planes are directing air traffic into and out of a wildfire.
Hard to imagine the level of disposable income that supports that kind of lifestyle, Paul. I must have made a wrong turn or two sometime in my past.
Hope the neighbors don't have any house cats, PH. My buddy's cats frequently bring mice into the house, sometimes still alive to be let go and cause all kinds of fun. One of those cats eats what he catches, leaving the left overs all over the house, too.
Remember the panic when the rumors of brain tumors from cell phones caused? Imagine what would happen when Tesla sized cordless charging coils start being embedded in people's garages.
Drove the Ford into town yesterday to blow the dust off it and give the batteries (it has two) a good charge. Oh man does that thing ride rough, especially compared to the RAM van. I've gotten soft and spoiled. Another reason for the Ford is I gathered up about a dozen dead batteries from motorcycles, alarm systems, Kubotas, etc. and hauled them to Walmart for recycling. You should have seen the look on the Walmart greeter lady's face when I wheeled that shopping cart full of old, dirty batteries through the door. Came home with one new battery for the Kubota side-by-side, replacing a five year old one. Par for the course.
While I was waiting on Jesus yesterday morning I got out the angle grinder, put a knotted wire brush on it, and ground off the rust and paint from a steel panel on the drop gate of the 24' box trailer. That was after waiting a couple hours for Jesus to show up, which he never did. I'd brought up three partial cans of Rustoleum white spray paint from down south, and it turned out that only one of them would actually spray. Then that one clogged up after covering only a foot of panel. Picked up another pair of cans at Walmart, and you don't have to guess the only brand they carry anymore: Rustoleum. Think I'll shop at TSC for future spray bomb purchases.
I didn't start grinding on the 5x8 trailer yesterday because I wouldn't have had time to get it painted before tomorrow's rain. Maybe next trip. I do need to get a couple bags of lawn trimmings down to the compost pile before it rains. I'd get the tractor stuck down there again if it gets slippery.
Got the baseboards in the closet painted yesterday. Now just need to mask them and touch up the wall paint where it came off with the caulk. Not sure what else I'll get up to today, but I might have a go at bucking the big oak that came down and dragging the branches to the brush pile. Nothing better than seat time with the grapple, one of the few things I'll miss about this place.
Got an email from the state senator with a wrap up of all the nice things he says he's trying to do for our community. One of them is insurance reform, because if things keep going like they have been, you won't be able to buy insurance in California. I replied to him with a brief note to let him know that my current insurers, State Farm and Farmers, have informed me that they will either double my premium or not renew my policy when the current one expires. These were the only two companies out of more than three dozen I tried that would write a policy last year when the previous outfit declined to renew that policy. More and more I'm beginning to think I made a big mistake by not leaving California when I had the chance last year.
