Good Morning!!!! 53F @ 5:45AM. Mostly sunny. High 82F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Still no rain in the 10-day. Fire season was officially declared for two counties north of here. The grass is very long and green, but quite dry underneath. And it needs cut.
Blaming someone else doesn't need a special day, Thomas. It's become a national pass time.
Good luck making a smooth transition, Kyle.
Good looking potatoes, Don.
Managed to get the cable to the StarLink dish run through the existing conduit out to the HughesNet dish, but just barely. It got stuck badly at three different places, then when I got it all fished it turned out to be about five feet too short. New cable on order, and I think I'll just pick up a larger piece of conduit and retrench both lines.
Also trying to figure out why the WiFi network only runs ag half the speed of the WiFi on the StarLink router. Maybe something to do with NAT, but I'm not enough of a network guy to figger it out. It doesn't help that I still haven't gotten a response from StarLink tech support and I'm still locked out of the app to make changes to the router.
Was up at the big water tank yesterday and found it was down to a quarter full. Reset the well pump controller and it ran for a couple of hours before the hole went dry, but it's a mystery why the reset tripped to begin with. Now I'm looking at some kind of water level sensor so I know when it's not filling.
Ordered a land plane from Everything attachments to help keep the new drive and loop road in shape. No telling when it'll get here, though.
Never made it to town yesterday, so that's where I'll be this afternoon.
Looks like the crew is giving up on the driveway. The rock at the top is too big to dig out, so we can't cut the slope down any more. It doesn't help that the dozer operator took too much out at the bottom, further increasing the slope. But it's all under 14% now, down from 22%, so I guess I'll have to make do. In consolation, they're moving the dirt that came out of the driveway and water tank cuts to make a level pad that will be nice for storing tractor implements. Might even be a good spot for a smaller pole barn, given enough time to settle.
With most of the earth moving done, it's probably time to get some drone shots. Maybe this morning before the wind kicks up, but I probably need to spray weeds more than play with air toys.
TGIF gang!
