Update on the neighbors pond issues: The state department of the environment will have jurisdiction going forward. A report is being prepared to lay out that this is a Trout stream subject to regulation and no changes allowed without engineering study and permit changes. Legal action will result if recommendations are not implemented

OOOOh, some one is playing hard ball. I don't blame you. I wouldn't appreciate my driveway getting flooded out every time it rained hard, either.

Hard to believe that’s a trout stream. SMH. They only exist in Catoctin creek because they stock it in the spring.

Good Morning
It’s 67° and might make it to 80 today under a bright sunny sky.
Yesterday was another day that went by at a leisurely pace. Got the front porch formed up and the wire and rebar in place for the pour on Tuesday. All that’s left is to form the sunken area for the curb less shower.
After all day of threats and cautions from the weather prognosticators, we got .001” of rain. Did get some serious winds though, I’ve got a bit of trim to repair today.
I think it was good that I had all the steel on the foam panels and heat tubing, nothing got disturbed there. Played music with the boys, started putting together sets for a show next month. We had a new keyboard player sit in, he was a good fit, musically and personally.
Today' I have to run out and get some white trim nails to repair the wind blown facia.
Then I have to cut up some 2x2 aluminum angle to make some wall brackets for heat pump condensers for my mechanical contractor buddy. He need to match some that were already in place for a high end job. The existing ones were custom made, and he wants the additional units to match.
Other than that it will be whatever comes my way.

Frits, hope you don't get stuck again.
Zero turns not known for traction in slippery stuff.
Reminds me of time I ran zero turn at church, mowing top of sand mound at rear of property.
Wet dew in morning, mower slid sideways down fairly steep slope into neighbor's wooden fence, broke one rail.
what an embarrassment...I promptly replaced the rail.
so now my next door neighbor has this ginormous new sand mound in his back yard, and he drives a Gravely zturn.
I've already seen him get it stuck on edge of Lake Drew. This should get interesting if he mows after a rain.
my modest JD lawn mower has very little traction, if I get on a
hill and try to back up, often just spins. No diff lock on this model
like I'm used to.
I don't worry about getting stuck. Just fire up the elderly Gravely rider and it will pull a car out with the ag tires on it and 23hp
motor.
if I had more lawn, I'd get the commercial Cub Cadet with the steering wheel.
only negative of having a z turn as your only mower is that they aren't good at pulling
I want a treadle, a steering wheel and power steering like I have now (Ron: Kubota B?...)
thankfully my JD mower does this place perfectly, designed for one acre and that's what it gets.
I had the top of the line 5 series diesel JD lawn tractor in NC and what a lovely machine that was.
basically what I have now on steroids. Was silly for this place, 23hp Kawasaki and a 50" inch deck
works well here.

Good Morning,
Ct, 59 to start going to 76 or so ! Beautiful sunny and blue skies this morning! Heat looks to be coming in by Tuesday! Glad the pool is looking good, will be nice when those 90’s arrive!
Kyle, nothing like a real weather vane !
Frits, glad to hear your finally getting some resolution on your flooding issues !
Drew, I know you mentioned that you were getting an Andersen 200 series door awhile ago. I just thought I would mention that when I put the addition on our Vermont house I used Andersen 200 series sliding windows around the entire room ! They are 5’by 5’ ! We did this about 9 years ago, and are very happy with these windows!
Hope all have a great day !

Good morning! Tempest weather station is reporting 75˚F heading to the 90s, clear skies. I still have not found my weather station box, (because I did not label it "weather station") I don't know where Tempest is getting the information from but it seems to be accurate.
Sitting on the backyard veranda having coffee watching Hospice (our 20 year old inherited cat) meander around.
Good news from the electrician yesterday, he found the plug in the garage can be easily converted into a 50 amp electric vehicle charging station plug because there is a neutral wire that was run with "the 2nd dryer/welding plug". I'm not buying an electric vehicle, but good to go ahead and set it up as a selling point. (not selling anytime soon) He also found the power switch for the front fountain and the pump actually worked. The fountain cannot be put in service until it gets a good cleaning It is full of old water and leaves. He also found the wire tap to the 30 amp breaker was just a type of capacitor for the dryer his recommendation just leave it.
Got the old house mowed and my wife cleaned the inside for the buyers just a little over a week before closing and we will be back to one house to maintain again. They will take all the boxes that we empty.
Today yard work at the new house after the dew evaporates but before the 90s hit.
We are using the pool each evening, The large live oak to the west throws a shadow on the pool in the evening so the water does not get too hot and we don't need sunscreen.
7:22 am the fountain on the pool just started, time to start working.
Kyle with a weather vane like that who cares if it's not accurate.

71 outside this AM, heading to lower 80's. I need to do some mindless task like wash the equipment down and get the truck cleaned up for another road trip.
Frits, you have to play hardball. An immediate neighbor did some "landscaping" many years ago. We attempted to talk about the situation he was creating, but it did not go well. Now over the years part of my property floods regularly because of his actions. I hope for the best in your situation.
Hope all have a great weekend, early Father's day best wishes to you all. Be safe.
