Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

Good morning, we have been enjoying dry weather all week, spent last couple of days rubbing down old paint on windows, going to try Osmo oil this time, only problem is deciding which shade to go for.

Don, you are too modest, those shapes are surely carefully crafted countries of the world - I see South America, India, Iceland (under heavy volcanic ash cloud) ...



We have just been worming the lambs. There are a couple of doses left if you feel something wriggling inside.

I like it striped like it is.

We finally got a little rain! Our weeds weren't even growing. The past three days we've gotten a good bit of rain.

Good morning.
It’s 65 going to the high 70’s
Overcast with chance of thunderstorms and rain throughout the day. Tempest we got 1.52” Davis says 1.02, good old fashioned cylinder gauge agrees with the Davis.

Yesterday, got a speaker finished up and ready to ship, then puttered around in the shop, and took care of the details for today’s trip, such as catering and inbound and out bound customs, both here and in the Bahamas.

It’s going to be a busy day, hopefully all goes well, and I can get to everything that I have planned, and I get back in time to make it all happen.

Good morning!!!! Plentiful sunshine. Hot. High 98F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.

Those Fish breakfasts did come with sashimi, and were made by young lady at the local grocery store deli. She did appear to be of Asian descent, if that makes any difference.

Yesterdays ride took me south along the shore of Lake Isabella then up across the lower ranges of the Sierra Mountains. Stopped in Inyokern for gas and temps were well into the 90s by noon. A few miles north I started toward Kennedy Meadows where the road meets up with the eastern end of the Sherman Pass Road. Clouds were gathering as I approached, as they often do in mountains in the afternoon. It was still warm enough that I was actually looking forward to a good drenching, but I had to settle for a few raindrops instead. Back at the motel, the room was insufferably hot again, even though the air conditioner had been running full blast since the day before. It just can’t keep up with the sun shining on that side of the building when the temperatures are this high. Something to keep in mind if I ever come this way again in the summer. Got the laundry done, topped up the oil on the bike, and enjoyed a delicious pizza dinner with a huge green salad. Salad seems to be hard to fine on this trip.

This miserable little bowl cost over five dollars the night before, and the balsamic vinegar dressing left a lot to be desired as well. Such is the price of regularity in the High Sierra.

This morning I head north again up the Kern River, up over a ridge, into a campground at Camp Nelson. I’m hoping to be there early enough to beat the heat, and also give the organizers a hand with setting up the site. Then it’s energy conservation mode for the rest of the day. Very likely there will be no Internet service there, so you all will be spared further updates until I arrive home sometime late Sunday.

TGIF, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good Morning to all. It's a wonderful time of day. 58F and 57% humidity. AND it's not supposed to get so bloody hot today. My fans have cooled the house down - preparing for the afternoon heat blast.

Good morning! 66˚F more rain expected today, best June ever.

Eric, I would go for contrast for definition - Black

Got the Shower valve in so plumbing work today and I might have to harvest muddy potatoes. I'll check for rot today.

About half the people wore mask at the funeral, about 1/3 of the Bucky's customers wore mask but the best was in Giddings TX. In the grocery store the person wearing a mask was buying cigarettes. Still trying to figure that one out . . .

72-80 today with light showers this morning, we missed a big line of storms yesterday afternoon. Passed about 2 miles south and east of us. We got most of our rain overnight Wednesday into Thursday. If the rain stops I’m going to put the Rake on and move a bunch of brush we lopped off a bunch of low hanging trees. Other than that I’m just going to try to stay busy until five when the kitty takes her last ride. Then we have to go up to Delaware to get Ellen’s cat, Elvira and take her, not going to be a happy night.

I haven’t had a good feeling about sushi since I went to get bait for an offshore fishing trip, one end of the building in Wanchese was bait and tackle, the other was a sushi shop.

Morning all, got some more trimming done before the big storm came in and dumped 1.5" in about an hour.
Some flooding, but the town did send out a crew of 2 guys with shovels to clear debris from main road

Kids school has made masks optional after a special board meeting last night, most parents are perpelexed as only a week or so left of school and none of the under 12 are vaccinated. Strange move.

TXDon- I love those hummingbird moths, looks like a flying micro lobster attached to a micro hummingbird. Only started seeing them here about 3 years ago.

Mostly- am worried there is a bigger nest somewhere, but hornet sightings are down to none so far. So hopefully it is far away!

Flail is scheduled to arrive Monday, so need to get the parts assembled for BackHoe dolly.

Kid has first live band concert since Covid on Sunday at a local pub!

Roy - leave arm wrestling to the kiddies-glad to hear improvements every day

Safe flight PopG

Randy - Last trip is going to be hard, but remember the good times with the cat...
hope the sushi/bait shop didn't get confused with orders. Worm and eel sushi anyone?

What would that be in Japanese?

Stay safe and be well.

61°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 88° today. Weather iWidget said we were getting some drizzle this morning, but with a cloudless sky I'm not sure whence it would be coming.

This weekend is looking good weather-wise, but looks like rain all next week.

Spent most of yesterday evening puttering around in the studio.

Nice pictures, fellas.

Condolences on the kitties, Randy. As a cat person, I feel for you. Long years of great memories, though, I'm sure.

Good morning to all! Low of only 52, 77 already at 8 am, should hit our first 90 later. No rain still, storms going all around, just not here!

My neighbor has been having some health issues and is now forced to sell his relatively new tractor and implements. A real shame. Life's travels can sure take its twists and turns. David, don't know what shipping would cost out to the Islands, but might be a good tractor for Sophie.... there are pics down in the "tractors for sale" forum.

Doing the spring cleaning routine for the last couple of days. Thorough cleaning of the outside of the house/windows. It was a rough windy spring, so a lot of silty dirt blown into the nooks and crannies, especially the windows. Should be able to get the last few windows cleaned up today.

no status change with the knee. Good days and bad.... eventually it will level out. A few more weeks until it gets re-evaluated by the surgeon.

RNG, spectacular pics of your road trip. I miss getting out on my bike back in the day! Savor the time and enjoy!

Drew, glad to hear that the jungle next door got taken care of. At least he was a proactive owner and stepped up to do the right thing. I hope your shoulder heals quickly. PT is not fun....

Toppop, not a good day.... remember the good times with the kitties.

Roy, just as hard bringing our friends back home as saying that last goodbye.

OK, now I can't type anymore....

Everyone try to have a great day...
