Good Morning!!!! 56F @ 6:45AM. Plenty of sunshine. High 86F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
High 80s and low 90s, and no rain in the 10-day.
Beautiful Black Eyed Susans, Kyle. And so many!
Good luck on the road, Drew. What did you forget?
Had several different sages growing here before the fire, Ken, lots of lavenders and rosemary, too. Only plants the deer would leave alone. Never thought to dry some for later, now I wish I had.
No word from the van dealer. Maybe they lost interest?
Rode around on the tractor yesterday looking for grass to cut, and came up empty handed. Swapped the flail for the land plan and gave the driveway some love, then it was on to the weed wacker. Surprisingly, it started on the second pull, and behaved itself the rest of the morning. Three hours later, I was soaked and my butt was dragin', but I got a nice wide strip cut down all along the top of the road cut, all the way to the cul-de-sac, and a good start on the top of the hill. Started with some Vortex trimmer line, but it didn't seem to last long, then it broke off up inside the head. Found some stuff I got from Stihl, had to order it from the dealer, made from two different colors of line bonded together. Lasted a lot longer, and no feed issues. Makes sense that the company that made the trimmer would make good line for it.
After lunch I took a nap, then cleaned the spark arrester and air filter on the trimmer. Finished the work day by hooking up the outside air quality monitor that got taken down for the paint job on the house. Surprised it worked, as the connector seemed to be a little bent out of shape.
I'll spend the morning with the trimmer again, then into town for groceries.
Happy Hump Day, folks!
