good morning all
rain gauge shows .20 but not wet looking out, though forecast shows rain all day as that system
works its way up the coast. I'm ready for rain, bring it on.

Dennis, nice looking chairs. Almost want to keep the plastic covers on til pollen ends...dark cushions or light cushions,
all turns yellow
glad I bought covers for mine, easy to pop off when I want to sit there. I figured easier to remove covers then put cushions away, they
take up a lot of room, would be a whole dock box for four chairs

Bill, glad your lottery ticket was worth something.

David, did you get your oil cooler installed? I know everything in cars today is plastic but hoped that tractor parts would stay metal.
plastic oil pans, plastic head covers, plastic intake manifolds

no plans for today, I need a quiet day

62 and a good rain, going to 76. A few bolts of lightning last night.

BEF, your fixed up deck is gonna be perfect for those chairs.

Kyle, your drake looks happy. Nice pond.

I cut so many cedar posts that I had quite a few left over from the grape arbor rebuild. I cleared out an area of sticks and used the grapple to pull up the honeysuckle...built a simple rack and grappled the posts over to stack neatly. After we had watched "our" blacksnakes (2 of them) during the morning, I decided to build the rack a little higher off the ground to make it less tempting for them to hang out there.

Glad it's wet outside...I need a bit of rest and a cooler day to hike.

Good Morning,
Vt, 50 to start going to 59. Rain on and off last night and I think we lost power around 1 am, but by this morning it was back on. The next few days look very wet, both up here and Ct also.

On Saturday Kathleen called an exterminator because we have an issue with wasps in the front of the house that gets hit with the afternoon sun. I’ve killed a bunch of them but we definitely have a problem. So she called Orkin and they are supposed to come out. They were supposed to come out yesterday but never showed up. So I’m not sure , but we may be staying another day to try and get them out here.

It’s so foggy up here I can’t even see the end of the field from the house. If we stay, I will get some shop time in with this lousy weather.

Frits nice work on leveling up those old barn beams. How big is that barn ? I may have asked that question before but of course I forget easily. 😉

Well hope all have a good day 🙏

"Deer Out" is still protecting the deer edible plants. I did resprayed after the rains.
Dry riverbed is drying.

The community pool's pump is broke and the water volleyball game was canceled.

904 - Falls

181 - Unconscious/fainting
