Good (Sunday) morning... well, almost noon by the time I post this. The weather 'event' started around 2230 last evening, blustery and squalls of rain, yet the overnight Low was only 13.4C. Strange, as the wind was from the South to the SE. There was 24mm in the gauge @ 0840, prior to heading off to Church.

The wind has not abated and it's still a rain squall situation, but I've got my wood in for the day/night. Penelope the Pussybeast is NOT pleased with the outdoor weather situation.

The 'Agisting' Woman had planned on putting out a round today... perhaps the rain will ease later on. I'll just throw on my Driza-bone & Akubra for that short tractor job, if it materialises.

Not much on except for this Thursday which, in Aus (not sure about NZ) is Viet Nam Veterans Day (Battle of Long Tan). Although I was too young to serve in that conflict (I joined the Navy in '75 @ 17yo) I'm typically 'tagged' as the "Parade Commander". It must be my dulcet voice.

Take care all.

Good morning
56° now dew point 47° high’s around 80° today.
For me if I could bottle a summer day Friday was it, low 70’s, low humidity, blue skies and a nice 5-10 mph breeze.

Mowing and trimming is caught up, need to get the garden beds weeded. Today is going to be a conserve energy day.

Enjoy your day everyone

good morning all
lovely cool morning, 60 going up to 85 in sunshine and lower humidity.

I got some of the church paint work done yesterday but not enough. Thought I'd be mostly cleaning off mold but turns out I had to sand
the entire railing and despite bringing two extra sanding pads, ran out. Plus I realized I need to prime first. So another trip likely tomorrow to finish the sanding
and prime.

hope you all have a lovely day.

Good morning
56° going to 80°

Yesterday was the perfect day, but still hot in the sun when working.

Worship this morning.
Our usual Italian restaurant is closed for 3 weeks as they are in a trip back home to Italy, so maybe we will go to the diner up on the mountain.

Wonder if PJ is busy at a new job?

fun email from owner of Rivian truck who just gave me a ride. I asked him how many g's it pulls on full acceleration.
0-60 in 3 seconds is apparently .95G

Good Morning
It’s 56 with a high of 80 forecast, another beautiful day, except we need some rain. Maybe tomorrow.

Yesterday’s meeting dragged on too late for me to fly out to lunch, so I replaced a failed camera in the shop. The old one was connected via Wi-Fi, the new one is POE, so I had to run a cable to the POE switch, which had no open ports, so had to add a switch as well. This was all planned, so Amazon brought the switch along with the camera. At 4mp, the new camera is much higher resolution than the old one. This is a capture of my son retuning Makita batteries.

This was just a section of the actual video that I zoomed in on and captured. I’m pleased with the improved performance.
It is surprising how long everything takes to get done by the time you get the tools and supplies out and put away.

Today youngest son is coming to help put in a couple more gates. We have 3 more posts to put in and then hang the gates and attach the fabric to the new posts. We have been adding gates in existing straight runs of fence so I can get the tractor into the smaller pastures to mow rather than use the Lazer.

Have to go to TSC to pick up some lag style hinge pins before he gets here, be interesting if that’s all I leave with.

I moved my house network over to my starlink system yesterday. I noticed my barn camera isn’t working. But it might be the Ethernet over power line adapter. I use a separate 12v supply for that camera, it has gone out before. I didn’t finish that investigation, but got all the others working.

I still need to move over some wireless devices, like the thermostats. I need to get on the old router and see what’s on it. I had to move it upstairs to plug directly into my mobley internet.
