And now it's raining. Nothing on the radar, but it's pouring. Even my plan to have no plan now disrupted. Harumph.
The fields look relatively empty this morning, with only 150 ewes left and not a single lamb.
Three bundles of 5'6" x 4" posts have arrived as replacements for those on the top boundary fence, which are starting to rot and break off. I have arranged for a tractor mounted post knocker to come and drive them in, so today I need to set them out. I started yesterday evening, but now the nights are closing in, by 8 o'clock it was too dark to continue.
Kyle, you sound to have one of those faults that is both frustrating and intriguing - in a way, better than any crossword puzzle. I'm sure quite a few on TBN would enjoy taking it apart with you. With a bit of luck, it will be obvious what is wrong when you get inside to have a look.
sseelhoff, wake up there is nothing on radar you are still sleeping.
Good morning! 77˚ heading to the mid 90s.
I did not realize that my wife's second cousin by marriage led a very interesting childhood and young adult life. She wrote a book right before she died last year. The first advanced school she went to was a **** nursing school, lived through the falling of Germany, ended up marring an American soldier (wife's second cousin) had a child in Germany and had problems immigrating to Texas with her daughter and husband because of her brief affiliation with the **** party. We found the book in the heritage museum in the library in La Grange. My wife was surprised to see a picture of her great grandparents in the book. It is very sobering reading about the war through the eyes of a young girl in a fallen nation.
Several years ago, in my wife's attempt to learn German, this second cousin gave my wife a stack of audio tapes that she had read from a "learn german" book saying the language in the correct pronunciation.
74F and sunny currently, headed up to a high of 88F ... we're in for a bit of a heat wave, with highs in the upper 80's thru Tuesday.
We finally got some rain ... 1.54 inches in the last 48 hours.
The only problem was that it came in the form of a couple of short thunderstorms.
I was sitting at the computer when the first one hit Thursday afternoon - lasted about 45 minutes and dumped about an inch of rain. Also fried the modem ... very close lighting strike and I actually heard the modem make a pop. It wouldn't establish a connection after that. Luckily I had a spare, so I swapped it out and immediately had the internet back.
Yesterday I met with our accountant and got our 2014 returns prepared ... which means they will be filed within the extension window. Very happy about that.
Dunno what will be on the menu today ... whatever it is, it will probably involve sweating.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday weekend.
Yep, modems are the first to go. Sometimes garage door openers too.
We need rain here desperately. Glad to hear Sseelhoff got some.
