Good morning. 58-86F and dry. Garden weeding and beet pickling are on the agenda. It was way too hot yesterday to do much outside after we got home. If there’s time, we might amble over to Costco and fight the crowds.
Enjoy this beautiful day. Take extra time for your pets and wildlife.

Good morning. It's sunny and 66F, on its way to 83F. Calling for mostly sunny. Sounds good to me. Did some finish-raking of the runoff spot. It's done-done now. Went and chopped a few more weeds in the garden, until the mosquitoes chased me inside. We have a few errands this morning, then home and misc futz this afternoon. Hope everybody has a super Saturday. Be safe out there and enjoy your day.

Good morning. Smoke rolled in last night. Lee fire doubled in size. I thought it would with all the high winds. It’s heading south towards our town. 88,000 acres or 137 square miles the fire has grown. Won’t be using the swamp cooler until the smoke is gone. I don’t like the Smokey air in the house.

Hope you all have a great day and enjoy what life brings.

Stay safe Chuck and hopefully everything gets under control soon. Wife and I are going on a walk in a few minutes. I really don't have anything I need to do. Probably will play bass a good part of the day and watch my stupid YouTube shows. I'm making pork loin tacos. Have a wonderful day and good morning.

Good morning. It's 75F on its way to 88F. Breezy with T-Storms this morning. It was a late night at the match and I'm moving a little slow this morning. I most likely will casually futz around for most of the day. Got out some steaks for this evening. Be safe and be good.

Good morning. It's sunny and 65F, on its way to 85F. Calling for mostly sunny...again. Another pretty day, but starting to get a little warm. Guess I've been spoiled. I've got paperwork this morning, prepping for a meeting this afternoon. Prolly futz after that. Hope everybody has a peaceful and restful Sunday. Be safe out there and enjoy your day.

Good morning. 58-78F, sunny and dry. Last day for awhile not in the 90’s+ temps. We actually pickled beets yesterday, with hubby doing all the heavy lifting. Family is coming over to pick up cukes I picked last night so they can have the pleasure of making their own pickles.
Enjoy your day, take time for yourself, and find a cool chair and watch a bit of nature.

Good morning. It's 72F on its way to 80F. Rain and T-Storms. Monday morning chores and then I've got to do those couple of honey-do jobs for the boss. I'm starting to feel the pressure to get those done. After that, casual futzing. Leftovers this evening. Be safe and be good.

catherinew · 2025-08-11T08:32:01-0400

Good morning. 58-82F, dry. Monday errands, watering at the CG, tending the garden at home all await me. Busy day yesterday with family here, but we now have no cukes or beets to process - for a few days anyway.
Enjoy your Monday. Remember those less fortunate.

Good morning. Wind direction changed yesterday and this morning we have clear blue sky’s for the first time in awhile. Couldn’t see the mountains the smoke was so thick. Have the doors and windows open this morning. 46 degrees feels nice. Drinking coffee and watching a dozen humming birds do their thing.

Have a good day you all.

Good morning. It's sunny and 69F, on its way to 86F. Calling for mostly sunny and humid. Replacing the automatic door on the chicken coop today. Need to pick peaches (I think). Then, the weed garden awaits. Hope everybody has a marvelous Monday. Be safe out there and enjoy your day.

sicman · 2025-08-11T09:41:31-0400

Done mowed 2 lawns stopped by bank and gassed everything up. 3 more stops totalling 7 lawns. I think we are having chicken and like sausages tonight. Way better than ot sounds. Wine and bass is calling. Have a great day and good morning.

sicman · 2025-08-12T04:34:01-0400

Chicken and kale sausages was what it was supposed to say. Mobile home park today. Will be mowing at 7 which is zephyrhills noise ordinance. Only one resident of 80 has ever tried to complain. It's hot, nobody smart is trying to wait any later to start a job that size. Guess I'm supposed to up to the bike shop this afternoon. Owner called and harrased me last night for not stopping by lately. He owes me money so I'll go up there drink a beer and collect. Probably have pizza tonight? Have a great day and good morning.

Harry_Dangler · 2025-08-12T08:07:35-0400

Good morning. It's 65F on its way to 83F. Mostly cloudy, foggy and maybe a T-Storm. WX permitting, I'm going to mow today. Probably futz before and after. Grilling chicken this evening. Be safe and be good.

catherinew · 2025-08-12T08:57:40-0400

Good morning. 58-90F, dry. It looks like I can spend time at home, weeding and tending to my garden. No appts. or meetings for a change. The cat will like being outside when it’s cooler. I’m not sure about eating kale, Sic. I’ve tried it in salads - it was OK, just not my fave.
Enjoy this beautiful day. The Jap beetles are still here, just not as bad as last year.
Stay cool and hydrated.

Good morning. It's cloudy, humid, and 73F, on its way to 87F. Calling for cloudy with some sun breaks this afternoon. Chance of a thunderstorm. Only thing done yesterday was the chicken house door. Different sized hole (narrower, taller) required. Nothing's easy. It's roughed in and working, but I need to re-work the vinyl siding. Not today, lol. Still need to pick peaches, and hit the weed garden. Hope everybody has a terrific Tuesday. Be safe out there and enjoy your day.
