Good morning!!!!

[Spike56]

Good Morning from Central Texas,
Nearly 7am, 67.5 degrees with Dew Point of 66. Headed for mid 80's with a chance of severe weather late night. Had (2) rounds of hail last week with one of these fronts. Nothing damaging thank goodness.

The news reports Boeing is the winner for the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) aircraft. Currently called the F-47, the (6th generation) new aircraft design was developed in part through the DARPA (Defense Advances Research Projects Agency) X-plane design experimental aircraft flying the last several years.
Of course faster, stealthier and longer range are among the goals. What does it look like ? Unknown what the final design will look like, but one artist rendering:

Hope all have a great day.

Don, nice of you to wait and make someone happy. No one was in a rush anyway and probably enjoyed
just sitting down. Do you have a running commentary? On your left you will see...

windchill of 8, back under the covers Thomas
get some sun on the Kubota first. That seat will be realllllly cold.

Heavy frost at the farm. Need to head home, gotta teach tonight.
Hear some wild critters howling last night, probably coyotes, the mice just leave reminders.

Good Morning!!!! 51F @ 5:30AM. Mostly sunny. High 73F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.

I think I saw 11 MPH on the tractor yesterday while riding it up to help a neighbor. Not a good idea to hit any bumps at that speed, and the road was full of them...

Got four oaks dragged down to the burn pile yesterday. Still have two more to go, but they're pretty big and will have to come out in pieces. Lots of poison oak sprouts on the ground to spice things up.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Morning all, 33 going to 50 and sunny.
Lots of wind last night, more branches to collect.

Got 4 trees transplanted, one was tough to get out and I'm a bit sore today.

Did take the dog into town and visited the son at work. The river looks to be about normal height.
Still need to get a picture of the bridge at night, heard they added a lot of lights.

Scotty - tasting room at Pindar looks like I remember it, I remember seeing quite a few of the tasting rooms get built, glad you had a good time.

Phil, you have a great eye and make some amazing wood turnings.

BEF dad 101 and Fuddy mom 98, got some good genes there! . Happy birthdays.

Not sure what's up for today. Rain coming later.

Sons GF birthday, he has a whole day planned out

Be well,
Not sure if this one will survive transplant, but I tried anyway, don't need another tree in this garden

Glad they opened this pathway along the river, certainly a nice place to sit for spell under the sun

RNG, quite the spectacle going on in LA
as an old fireman doing a controlled burn on chemicals and explosives in a
residential neighborhood must have been a tough call. And they can't put water on the fire
since some of the chemicals in the illegal fireworks factory are reactive to water.

no, your homeowners will not pay...

just outside of Lahaska locally is the old Roeser farm off Street Road with some
big outbuildings. 50 years ago operating under an old zoning grandfather clause,
a guy who tested rubber compounds there had a fire. New Hope Eagle fire co
responded as mutual aid to Midway Fire co in Lahaska. I was on third truck in
and helped pull a line off our truck up to this large building with big doors and a fire
blazing away inside. And then it got fun.
kaboom
kaboom out the doors flew a 30 gallon drum of sorts on fire blazing blue fire
kaboom, out flew another drum blazing yellow sailing up into the air
we couldn't get our airpacs on fast enough.
Additive chemicals of some sort, all likely toxic as could be.
would never pass zoning under current standards, much less building codes.

I believe the rubber testing business was shut down permanently after that.

Ken, really nice pic of the bridge. It's no wider but nice to know it won't fall in now.
8000 pound limit is new, much lower. Electrician's loaded dually trucks are heavier than that.
so heavier trucks have to use the other bridge, a toll of course. This one is free.

Another red flag day weather pattern not bringing us rain This afternoon visit Holly always enjoy that. Did not go to bed till 2:00AM been up since 7:30 oh my.

Only 40 percent chance of rain tomorrow then wind rest of week more fires I’m sure.

Nice picture Ken, good deed Don

Prayers for all our Country

Not the first time, Drew. A few years ago up in Redding, CA the sheriff had a house burned down after an old guy lost a finger or two in an explosion. When the cops got there and went inside, they quickly backed out after they saw rows and rows of shelves packed with all kinds of volatile and explosive goodies.
