Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

68°F and partly cloudy this morning, going up to 85° today with rain expected this afternoon. Remnants of the tropical storm/depression are supposed to reach us by Friday and Saturday, with some heavy rain predicted for Saturday.

Seven pages of chat here to get caught up on at some point today. Took off Tuesday and Wednesday to have a five day holiday weekend. The Wife and I had been planning for some time to build a deck on the new sunroom, so we dove into that this past weekend. If I've learned anything from this experience, it's that I am not a deck builder, and will never do this again. Far better to pay someone who knows what they are doing. Experience in these things cannot be over-appreciated.

On the bright side, though, I noticed this morning that I've sweat out five pounds in the last five days. So, I got that going for me. :laughing:

I am laughing with you. I am living both the labor and sweat parts these past few weeks.

You can look back and take pride in your work. At least that is what I keep repeating in my head. LOL.

Yep, that's what we keep telling ourselves, too. We're getting it done, it's just taking longer than anticipated. I grossly underestimated the timeline.

69°F and .06 inches rain, still falling.

Might have to see if room enough in tractorshed to work on mower.

Special treat expected later. One of our very own TBNers visiting on island and supposed to be here this afternoon. Hope wx doesn’t deter him. More later.

Prayers for all.
Be safe.
Have a great day.

That happens on all my projects.

Sounds like a pretty tough S-10, Rip. And really stupid deer.:muttering:

Worked in a stockyard part time years ago and we sold cattle, pigs, sheep and goats. On the way home I saw some deer running across a field and they reminded me of the way sheep run. "stupid deer" Ed

But it could be.

Time to renew my open invitation to my TBN family...

nope, it's me. I'm taking a very fast ship through the Panama Canal and should be on the Big Island by dinner time.
My latest sci fi novel taught me how to make warp drive at home... just carry it around like a portable hotspot
Got to make David's latest buffet!

Showered and in for afternoon, 94 out, painted mailbox post plus a few other wooden fence posts, mowed a little, then powerwashed the mower which really needed it, kinda went aahhhh when I put it back under the shed all shiny and clean

Mostly, are you getting out on your boat? Any fish stories? Like the one that dragged your boat across the lake?
That's always a good one...

Wife and I haven't been to Hawaii. Been strongly considering this.

... and Happy (belated) Anniversary, Mostly. Ours was Saturday.

Can't say the new rules for FP seem untenable. Glad to see that Muhammad is injecting some civility there. Now, if he could just do that with the rest of the general population at large, ...
