My wife did a deep clean on the trailer yesterday and will finish today. I will wash the outside and then back into the shop until the first week of Sept when we will be shoving off for a place called Sullivan Lake. Meanwhile our kids and grandkids are due from CA on Thursday just in time the the heat.
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
54 and sunny with a high of 94. That’s a stupid increase of 40 degrees. That’s not right.
Maybe 100 on Thursday.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Currently 95° although not morning at all. I had a busy morning. I walked the dogs, cooked breakfast, showered, went to the bank to make a deposit and then came home to find my wife had banged up her knee somehow. She's not convinced she needs to go to the ER but is in a bit of pain and can't walk well. It's her decision. Had some clients over for work and now I need to catch up on repairs.

70 this morning. Only low 90’s today and predicted high 80’s next couple days. Be nice compared to the ninties, plus a little bigger chance of rain. After being on lawn mower for 6 hours yesterday, won’t be doing as much today.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Woke up to a nice 66 degrees, with a high of 75.
It started in raining around 7, and suppose to do it most of the day.
So a lazy day day a head here, may hit the bench for a little bit.

Folgers and cookies.
I will finish working on the drive and collecting firewood to the splitter, then
this afternoon it will be beer and wings. We haven't been for that in about
three weeks.
Jake, how's your wife doing. She sounds a stubborn as mine. Hope her knee is better.

82° with 89% humidity. It's supposed to rain this evening. I hope we get some showers but not heavy wind. Just had cereal and coffee this morning. Got to get caught up on work. I didn't feel well yesterday and got very little done.

57 and pleasant now but a not so pleasant 98 predicted for later. Today we’ll get the trailer into the shop and then a dump run while it’s still cool. Then mow the lawn, then…..then….then….

Sent him a text message last week checking on him.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 9:22 amSo has anyone heard from Big Al lately? I haven't seen a post from him for a while.
His reply was, "that he was doing well, had been on a bike ride and that he would no longer be back on the site".
He gave no reason and I did not pry.
I will surely miss his comments and knowledge here.

Today; partly cloudy with a high of 81; currently 63. Had to take Mrs.B to the emergency room, we were in there for a while. Outlook was serious but nothing we can’t handle. Everybody have a great day!

Good morning.
Looks like a rainy day and probably tomorrow as well. We can use it.
I finished up the driveway yesterday and then we went for beer and wings.
I have some inside work in the shop for today.
Come back home Big Al.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Best to Mrs. B brm
Woke up to a warm 60 and the predicted high is 100. No plans to do anything outside today but we do have some running around in Spokane to do. Just move from one air conditioned space to another.
Due to a schedule conflict with a dance tryout our granddaughter will not be visiting this trip. Just our son and grandson are coming up and they want to spend their time at the lake. I believe they will be renting jet skis tomorrow and on Saturday we’ll take them tubing.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
It is what it is.
Morning, 64 this AM and headed towards the mid 80's,
not bad for the middle of Aug. and Tennessee.

Clouds to the Northwest and rain coming.......... we hope.
I got the mowing done yesterday so today we'll see what the weather allows.
Probably shop work.
The electrical inspector is coming today to finalize the Generac.
That will complete the install.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
66 degrees this morning due to cloud cover and the high is forecast to be 97 with the clouds dispersing later. Son and grandson arrived as scheduled and here in a little bit we are planning to head over to Lake Coeur d’alene in Idaho to do some tubing.
Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Saturday morning here in Aus and raining again, makes it rain for 19 of the 20 days this month. Thursday was the first dry day, as you can imagine extremely wet under foot. Daytime maximums have been around low 50s which is average but nights have been a bit warmer than normal due to cloud.
Rarely dropping below freezing which does have a down side, a good frost freezes the wet ground well enough I can usually get around the farm until a few hours after sunrise as well as drying things out a little.

Well, the low is moving on and we got very little rain. We're in a major drought here.
The Generac has been inspected and signed off. We're kinda hoping for a power outage to see it work.
Not! Well, maybe.
Shop work today.
