Beautiful here as well. Ground wet but able to mow at least some areas while hoping the slopes dry some.

Drew, glad that was just a pecan to your noggin vs a coconut. Looks like you have to husk those like I do the macnuts. Have an interesting variety of roasted nuts currently. Yesterday I made a pan of brownies, with macnuts of course and left the pans of husked nuts in the oven. Some of the older nuts are nicely browned inside yielding a delicious roasted product. Have never seen that that well done in the commercial varieties but makes for a nice change.

Glad Harvey has downgraded, but the rain/flooding is still a concern. Be safe guys.

Beautiful day here. Had vacation bible school at church. Need to mow field, but watching Little league. Can't find my impact driver anywhere, been looking over an hr.

Great day here also. Power washed garage. Vinyl siding is stained from road dust. May look into painting next year. No lawn mowing today. Been relaxing on porch all afternoon.

Harvey is getting weaker but closer. The eye is 100 miles due South. It is suppose to turn around soon. Wind is only 10 to 15 here. Our rain totals 5.3" today at 3pm. There are about a dozen power outage areas but 99% of our Electric co-op customers have power. Our road is closed but the water has been a lot higher during the spring floods.
I'm hoping the vfd will adopt the new late Sept date yearly. It used to be in Sept but they got rained out.

Filled up the car and truck and gas cans, before the price goes up

Good move Drew. This from Fox news:

"Key oil and gas facilities along the Texas Gulf Coast were temporarily shut down as Harvey pounded the region with torrential rain and high winds, virtually assuring gasoline prices will rise in the storm's aftermath.
Even before the Harvey made landfall late Friday, dozens of oil and gas platforms had been evacuated, at least three refineries had closed and at least two petrochemical plants had suspended operations."

5 to 4, North Carolina staying ahead of Texas, Little League championship
could go either way, Kyle you still watching?

Texas just won the Little League championships, in a huge comeback.
Hopefully a positive omen for the flooding.

Most of the major pipelines were shut down late Thursday so, GOM Offshore Production facilities had to shut in all production.

Got tractor-side SSQA finished up.

Cut a 4" piece of 1/4" wall 2 1/2" square tube and ground the weld seam on the inside off to make a 2" receiver and welded that on the timing bar.

Main reason was for a trash/recycle can picked-upper so getting the stuff out to the end of the road will be easier ... but I'm sure it will come in handy for other stuff as well.

Wife bringing fresh hamburger home to grill ... and beer. Hopefully she'll be able to find the Old Leg Humper ...

Glad to hear our Texicans seem to be faring well.
