Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[Hatchdog]

Coop, condolences to you and Carol for the loss of Oreo. Comforting that Oreo and yourselves didn’t have to go thru the euthanize procedure. Our last dog did the same thing, the day we decided to take him to the vet he passed here at home.

Speaking of home, it’s a cool one this morning at 47. High of 80 so another warm up begins. Mid to upper 80’s the rest of the week with sunny skies. Interesting that the areas up north and to the west are socked in with fog. Makes sense as most of the fires are burning in the vicinity of Lake Roosevelt (Columbia river). Hope the additional humidity is helping the firefighters.

Had a long day limbing trees yesterday and it will be another long one doing the same today. After cutting the limbs I have to load them up in my little trailer and haul them down to the bottom of my place where I burn. Down there I pile them and will cover them with tarps for winter burning.

51' and sunny this morning. Maybe 89' later today. Rest of the week, mostly upper 70's and maybe make it to 80'.

After one fall morning it’s back to summer with an early morning temp of 56. Beautiful crescent moon shining down on us. Back to the 80’s today with lots of sunshine. Maybe a cool down this weekend but warm again next week.

Back to the limbing project today. Everything is cut and now I have many trips with my little 4x10 Harbor Freight special trailer down to the area where I burn. This little farm trailer has sidewalls and is perfect for this work.

51 and hazy this morning and we’re looking at the mid 80’s later. No rain in sight once more . Warm temps for another couple of days then a cool down into the 70’s.

Had a good day hauling limbs to my burn area yesterday, or at least until our predicted high of 85 became 90. Had a crew over to clean the wood stove chimney at 1:00 and after they finished I just put my stuff away and stayed out of the heat. Here’s my set up for hauling limbs. I used to burn up near the house which was a lot more convenient for me but my wife got tired of all my piles in view from the house. So now I haul them down the hill at the back of the property and pile/burn there. It’s real nice in the winter when I’m burning as it’s too far for her to walk in the snow so it’s real peaceful, just me, my coffee, my radio and a nice fire.

Hard to see details in this pic but there are enough limbs here to keep me busy burning for several days.

Well, the skin cancer surgery went OK. It took about
four hours and I have a big bandage on my face. They said
they got it all.
