Good morning!!!!

[KilroyJC]

Maybe….. I was mowing where I had pulled some posts.

I tried to add a picture and the app crashed.

After lunch I found my ambition, wish it would show up earlier when it’s cooler.
I put up the porch ceiling panel, since I now know where the leak was and it didn’t leak last rain. And because it was in my way in the garage.
Got ZT oil changed. Really easy, but I must have made 5-6 trips from garage to barn to get things. Took awhile to find the new filter. Need to order more.
Mowed a lap and oil checked ok, so finished mowing the rest of yard.
Clipped some tomatoes to trellis, then it started light rain, which lasted less than a minute.
Picked up Chinese for supper.

Dad got rotary mower fixed, he broke a 1/2” bolt in pto shaft. Hum. Should be a smaller shear bolt. Anyways he finished mowing the hay fields, now he just has pastures to finish.

Taking this was when my app crashed earlier.

RonJH- Freaking Awesome sunrise picture. Thanks for sharing.

Kilroy- Thanks or the laugh.

Don- I am surprised that any garden plants are growing with the heat down your way.

Ken- Thanks for haring your pictures. Nice capture of that wasp.

rswyan- Nothing is better than a good cup of coffee freshly brewed to start the day. One of the first sounds one hears around here early morning is our +45 year old coffee grinder grinding .

It was a hazy, foggy, smoky 55ºF for this morning's low temperature. The fog burned off quickly, but the smoke remained and it has been a mix of clouds, smoke, and varying degrees of filtered sunshine so far today. Today's high temperature may be the 76ºF recorded earlier. Currently Tº = 73ºF with a nasty 67ºF dew point. I used the inhaler prior to this morning tour of the lower perimeter. I took another "toke" on the inhaler this afternoon prior to mowing ~3 acres/2.5 hours worth of open area for the solar panels and walking paths. I wore a face mask while mowing and it looks/feels like I'll be using some eye wash soon.

The yearling male AKA "Junior" paid us a visit this morning. He did not like that camera pointed at him.

Bet "Junior" shall return soon to investigate cam closely.

If she really wants to assimilate with us knuckle-draggers, she should be drinking RYE

Although many good bourbon options are here.

As to Shiraz wines, since the best ones are generally from your neck of the woods or Argentina, her best option is to go to local artisanal vineyards and do tastings (a horrid chore, but one must do what one must do…).

I did mention Rye to her, especially Crown Royal... although I've heard that there are some that are adding maple syrup to the blend.

I didn't consider Argentinian. That makes a bit of sense as they're on a similar latitude to Australia.

Good (Saturday) morning. Overnight Low of 2C and it's presently 12.7C, fairly clear with a steady Southerly breeze = colder temps.

I did get two large 'garbage bags' filled with jumpers/fleeces/pants/work clothes and took them into town to the 'Op Shop'. They were gratefully accepted.

Thanks for the responses regarding a good N.A. red wine... which, so far, means getting one from anywhere other than N.A..

If the temperature improves this arvo I might clean up Paddock #6. Hopefully it will have dried up enough that I won't 'rut' whilst chain-harrowing. If it looks like it will I can wait.

That's about it, take care all. Oh, and Happy Canada Day!

Dennis- An awesome capture of a cat connected with and in love with Daddy. A quality capture thanks for sharing.

American Rye must be made with minimum 51% Rye grain, Canadian Rye must contain rye grain, no minimum specified.
