    Good morning!!!!

    Hot and humid, but a nice breeze...just got back from a hike and swim for Della. Hope you had a great birthday, Kyle...you deserve the best. Finally cleaned the zero yesterday, scraped the underside of the deck, and swapped out the 3 blades with the ones I sharpened. I just had to try it out...

    Good morning!!!!

    72 going to 90, probably rain late this afternoon. Finished sharpening my mower blades after getting run inside by rain a couple of days ago. But by the time I finished, the wind had dried the grass, so I mowed for 2 hours instead of swapping them out. Maybe today, but wife wants me to go to...

    Good morning!!!!

    74 and at least there was a little breeze outside to stir up the humidity when I fed the birds. Going to 95. Weather man said Monday or Tuesday will give us a break. Ron, I think the word 'swell' doesn't get used often enough anymore...used to be a bigger part of our lexicon. Glad you typed it...

    Good morning!!!!

    72 going to 92, probably more t-storms. Seems like I'm mowing some part of the yard every other day...still better than drought. I started sharpening my mower blades outside yesterday and a t-storm that missed us seemed to circle around and ran me inside before I finished. I have an idea when...

    Good morning!!!!

    71, light shower popped up. Going to 90. Sitting here icing my shoulder. Using AI to "diagnose" the problem and show me some PT stretches. Had a hot but good hike yesterday so Della could take a swim. Then made a diesel run and mowed for 2.5 hours...grass never fully dried due to a week of...

    Good morning!!!!

    Saw this beetle on my house foundation yesterday...never saw this type before...red legged buprestis...apparently likes dead trees...but none close by, so must also like to fly.

    Good morning!!!!

    71 and 97% humidity, going to 92. Kyle, changing oil until midnight...that's devotion and work ethic. I still use that so-called horse pee in my truck. 😁 🐎 Got a few small things done yesterday but mainly was a Tex-Mex lunch and Costco run. Dee-lish, and Costco was running smooth even on a...

    Good morning!!!!

    69 and foggy. This seems to be the longest streak of high humidity days I can remember for several years...last summer had a nice cool and low humidity break every week...now grass never dries before the next rain and you soak your shirt just standing around. But this is better than drought...so...

    Good morning!!!!

    69 and been raining a lot overnight. Going to 86. More rain. Kyle, sure is good to hear of your mom's progress...I hadn't heard of the watchman procedure. If your pto shaft is like mine, the plastic sheath gets warped and makes it hard to slide...or maybe it wasn't lubed inside. Happy...

    Good morning!!!!

    96 now...had the hottest hike of the year earlier today...Della cooled off in the river. Had the park to ourselves...everyone else too smart to go today. Got the mowing done between storms yesterday. BEF, glad you had a safe trip. Prayers for Buppies, Holly and Texas.

    Good morning!!!!

    61 going to 89. Had a great day yesterday with part of family...the rest are coming today. I have been rebuilding our cornhole boards...I built them years ago and they needed new tops. I don't do enough jigsaw work to stay sharp, but did a decent job cutting the holes out Thursday, and then...

    Good morning!!!!

    68 going to 90. Feels pretty good outside for this time of year. Just ran a raccoon away from our bird feeding area. Too light for her to be out. Got interrupted before posting, so that was over an hour ago. Nice job, Lou. Stronger than new. Ken, sounds like a great meal to match the great...

    Good morning!!!!

    After getting 2 inches of rain last night, we got another 2.5 this morning...went out surveying the damage once it let up some...Creek is usually clear and only 6 ft wide max where I built my bridge...now it is 100 yards wide in places and flowing extremely fast in the middle...part of the...

    Good morning!!!!

    73 and light rain, going to 83. Had hours of t-storms last night, with a lot of heavy rain. Widest lightning bolts I've seen, looked more like ribbons. Got an unexpected call while hiking Della to the river...the phone tech wanted to come fix my fiber...a day earlier than rescheduled from the...

    Good morning!!!!

    75 going to 93 and storms here, too. Happy Canada Day to those up north.

    69 after last night t-storms...got a good rain that we needed. Heading to 93, maybe another storm. Glad RNG checked in...know he's been busy. He's helped me in the past, so will miss him. Buppies, sorry things are still in a rough patch. Prayers. Been wrestling with our new fiber...

    All the Lone Star ticks moved here. Maybe too hot there.
  19. wngsprd

    Good morning!!!!

    70 to 93. Thomas, the ticks are the worst I can remember this year. Deer ticks (Lyme), Lone Star ticks (Alpha-gal), Dog ticks (Rocky Mtn Spotted Fever, Tularemia), and I read about a new one that's here, but haven't seen it. I've had numerous bites. I feel like I need the Frontline medicine on...

    Good morning!!!!

    71 and thick fog, going to 92. Yesterday was a cool day in the 70s with low clouds and easterly breezes, not at all the 85 forecasted. Thomas, good bear story.

    72 up to 85 and maybe a storm, since we missed our turn yesterday. Roasted coffee for a couple of hours yesterday morning and met the fiber internet tech in the yard at 1pm sharp...right on time. The phone company had laid the fiber on our ground for a few hundred yards from the pole up the...

    Good morning!!!!

    72 and muggy, going to 96. Prayers, Buppies...it really is a tough time for you both. Ken, your milkweed looks good...ours have mostly finished blooming. Wew're sending our monarhs your way. Took the short trail to the river so Della could take a nice swim. I went in to my knees and found a...

    Good morning!!!!

    76 going to 101. Hit 100.5 again yesterday. Did my usual hike to the river and let Della swim early. Kai's Kia was parked, but we never saw them on the trail (Della's playmate). There are two ways to get to the river, so 50/50 chance. Decided to go ahead and mow in the heat...3.5 hours, but...

    Good morning!!!!

    92 heading to 100...hit 101.5 yesterday. Congratulations to Don and wife for 50 years of marriage! Nice way to celebrate. Ken, smart bumper.

    Good morning!!!!

    68 and more rain overnight...drizzled all day yesterday. Heading to 85, then 90s next few days. Mostly, Della has been great since that one episode...took her hiking the last 2 days. Best guess on her strange behavior was eating something toxic. Ron, we'll share our gray squirrels with...

    Happy Flag Day and Happy 250th Birthday of our wonderful US Army! [emoji631] This B-29 Superfortress flew over our house low yesterday...so loud I heard it over the diesel mower and deck at top rpm with headphones on...probably headed to the big Military Parade in our nation's Capital today.

    Good morning!!!!

    71 going to 87. Yesterday was a repeat...hike to the river and swim, then mow for 3 hours before the thunderstorms got here. I let AI pick out my playlist and it named it Mow-Jamz Vol 1...all Cumbia and Ska. Volume 2 will be Helen O'Connell and '40s big band tunes. Volume 3 will be Junior...

    Good morning!!!!

    67 going to 88. Probably rain later. Need to mow since like L4N, didn't get to it yesterday. Took my wife to Tex-Mex, and then grocery shopping at several stores.

    Good morning!!!!

    64 going to 92, our hottest day this year, so far. Get well, Phil! Ron, never seen wild turkey poults that small. Great photo. Yesterday was Della's day to hike and swim...saw some interesting mushrooms after all the rain...and 1 snake. We took a mid-day break and watched the last 2 episodes...
  38. wngsprd

    Good morning!!!!

    63 to 88...but less humidity. Would go to the mountains, but their forecast is "Widespread Haze" which I have never seen on the NWS site. I think their particulate count is high due to the Canada smoke at higher elevations. Beautiful sunrise pic, ganzer. Roasted 3 coffees yesterday. Drinking a...

    Good morning!!!!

    70 going to 84, maybe more rain. Congrats Scotty. Sorry about your gazebo. Did a dump run, hike and swim, and then off to get gas and diesel...surprised that there was 20 cent/gallon difference between neighboring gas stations. I stopped at the first, was not happy when I drove a couple blocks...

    Scotty, nice job on that gazebo. Thomas, you need to develop a Bear IQ test, and see if Scotty is really smarter that NuBoo.

    Good morning!!!!

    BEF, sounds like you had a nice family visit like we did, and we got caught in a huge t-storm driving 30mph, too, but fortunately we were off the interstate and only 15 miles from home. I don't turn on my flashers, because when I'm behind someone with theirs on, it's harder to tell when they are...
  42. wngsprd

    Good morning!!!!

    68 and light fog, going to 87. Ron still amazed that pileateds come to your feeders. Like you and Buppies, we had our first fawn spotting last week. A pair were doing zoomies in our field as their mom watched. One was especially energetic, bucking like a bronco and then head butting its...

    Good morning!!!!

  45. wngsprd

    Good morning!!!!

    63 and a little ground fog, going to 85, and another tick up of the humidity level. Buppies, that's scary about Holly taking off. You might need a security system with a code to get out through the doors. Grass was so wet from dew yesterday, decided to use the cool morning for a hike and swim...

    Good morning!!!!

    Been in the upper 40s last 3 mornings...great weather.

Hiked from the eastern boundary to the western boundary over the mountain and...

    Good morning!!!!

    Yep, me, too. Neither my wife nor her younger brother live close by. He grew up there, but she had moved out as an adult before they bought the farm. As their dad grew older, he knew he would not keep farming it, so planted trees on most of the farm that wasn't already forest. He was a...

    Good morning!!!!

    65 and showers, going to 79. Buppies, glad your leg is healing and you have Holly comfortable at home. Got caught in the rain while hiking Della to the river...it was too high for her to swim, so we went to a side stream.

    We made a Costco run in the rain...plenty of other folks had the same idea, but everything moved smoothly...skipped lunch this time, but just about ate enough free samples to make up for it. Needed to make a business stop, too. Gas $2.84.

    Saw this slime mold next to the mulched flower bed near the front porch this morning. Wasn't there last night...walk right by this spot frequently. Google says it's called dog vomit mold, or scrambled egg mold...harmless, even eaten by some cultures. Decided we'd just have regular scrambled...

    Good morning!!!!

    63 going to 83. Still really wet. 90 tomorrow? My hike yesterday wasn't the same without Della, but I did see her playmate, Kai, who had been swimming in the flooded river. I took Della for several long walks here, but not to the Battlefield park for another week.

    Good morning!!!!

    65 and rain, going to 70, and flash flood watch. Lots of inside chores today. After dropping Della off at the vet for spaying, came home and mowed the remainder of the grass and trails. Sure glad I got it done before this rainy week began. Used the grapple to move some brush and then took it...

    Good morning!!!!

    54 heading to 75, but big rain on the way. Hope all mom's were well treated yesterday. I did my best. Sitting at vet office waiting for 7:30 opening. Della gets spayed today...nearly 14 months old, so it's time. But it means no big hikes for 10 days to 2 weeks. Of course, other than skipping...

    Good morning!!!!

    Well, they said they thought I was legal, and they had parked in the same spot where my truck had been. They said SNP would look into it. It is not their jurisdiction, so they are sort of victims, too...they were carrying lots of trail maintenance equipment, so it will be a long road hike for...
