Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[JEBar]

62 on its way to 87 with 0% chance of rain .... much higher humidity and heat due to move in tomorrow, the "muggy meter" will be high .... biggest thing to day is a crew is due to come and perform our annual homes and campers power washing .... hope to get back over to the local city park for a walk this morning, we've not been able to do so since last weekend's 5 day campout

I will be selling poppies today for the VFW Post.
I think the drought might be over. We got around 3 inches of steady rain
yesterday and it came slow enough so we have no damage to the driveway.
Well, I might have to run the blade over it once or twice.

Going solo camping this weekend, just me and my flintlock. Weather unpredictable this time of year but I have my little wedge tent and a good bedroll.

48 and rain falling. Rained all night it appears but one of those nice soft continuous rains that soaks up into the ground so wonderfully. Doubt it will get much warmer unless we get a sun break or two. Good day to clean guns in the garage so that’s what I’ll do.

[JEBar]

66 on its way to 88 today .... our favorite local TV station is calling for 92, while it ain't much better, I prefer the 88 .... high chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms for everyday between now and Monday .... taking care of things that need to be done before next week when we are scheduled to leave for South Dakota remains the focus .... example: today we are taking our Chevy Silverado in to have its tires rotated and balanced .... biggest item for today, going to our 8 year old grandson's last "Coach Pitch" game of this season ...

39 when I got up now 41 and overcast. We are forecast to see some sunshine and 60 today but we’ll see about that. Yesterday was cold, rainy, windy, ugly, miserable, and every time I tried to get outside and do something I quit. I did get my atv trailer unhooked from the motorhome and put away. I’ve decided I’m moving to Arizona in the SUMMER!. (Just kidding) Sure tired of being cold.

Maybe today I’ll get some mowing done in the places outside the lawn I like to keep down. It’s been so wet that everything has exploded. We need the rain so I’m happy to have it but how about another 10 degrees.

Yesterday I planned to do deep cleaning on some guns but it was so cold in the garage I turned on the heater in my reloading room and did a dry cleaning in the warmth.

As I type this I’m watching the news about the tornados and I’m shutting up now.

[RanchRoper]

Springtime for sure. Mama dropped these little beauties last night just before 9pm. They are about 5-10 minutes old in these pics.

46 and sunny sure feel great. Just came in from the patio and it was down right pleasant out there. Today is supposed to be nice, rainy tomorrow then starting Sunday several nice days with temps back into the 70’s.

Today is run around day with some banking, pickup oil and filter for the quad and stopping into the doc’s office to pick up blood draw paperwork for our physicals next week. Then home for maybe some more mowing of the non lawn areas. It’s still nice and wet out there so no cloud of dust!

This time of year is always busy but then it settles down.

[daytime dave]

65F going to 75F. Sunny and clear so far. Thunderstorms will roll in at some point today.

Coffee in a 1986 Boy Scout mug.

Today is going to be mowing and planting. I have several more plants for the garden.

I hope you all have a great day.

[Hatchdog]

Woke up to 48 but it’s already 55 and partly cloudy with more sun than clouds. High today should be in the 60’s depending on how much sun we get. Maybe a shower later but nothing much. Then nice tomorrow and on in the 70’s for a few days. Good timing for the Memorial weekend campers.

Taking my wife into Spokane for routine imaging tests then back home to get some projects done. Should be a nice day for it.

Everybody have a wonderful weekend.

[Vaquero]

A late GM from here, the 2 oldest grandsons from SC 7 & 9 yrs. old, got here bright and early yesterday morn. 5:30
Had a fun filled day, their dad took them to see his grandparents for a visit a few minutes ago while he's here.
He leaves to go back home in the morning, he and the rest of the family will be back in a couple weeks, for a couple more weeks.
I didn't even look at the weather when I got up, 80 now and headed towards the upper 80's.
Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.

We're up early. First church and then we will drive the 95 miles to my home town
to decorate the graves for Memorial Day, then tomorrow I will serve on the VFW Rifle
Squad and we will do a full ceremony at 13 mostly rural cemeteries here where we live.
Once that is done we will entertain family and friends here for a cook out and swim party.
Busy busy.

[Hatchdog]

Hey Coop, hope the weather cooperates with your pool party plans. So wonderful what your VFW Rifle Squad does for our fallen heros. Thanks to you and the entire squad.

Woke up to 42 but it’s 49 now and a beautiful sun is up there. Yesterday tried to be nice but the clouds and wind won the battle. Still was an okay day but not very warm. I have a trailer load of tree limbs remaining from the community clean up a few weeks ago that I will take to the transfer station this morning. Drove by it on our way home from my wife’s test yesterday and the line was out the gate. They have a clean green program for yard waste that’s much cheaper than the normal garbage rate.

Then I’m planning to change the oils in the atv and the tow behind brush cutter and mow my trail. It’s getting very tall with all the rain we’ve had.

I'm up early again. It does look like we might get wet but we've done the ceremonies in the
rain before. We have rain ponchos to cover our uniforms if it does rain, but when you wear
them it seems you get wetter from sweat than the rain anyway.
We draw weapons at 7 and the first cemetery will be at 8.

48 out there, was sunny when I got up but now it’s cloudy and gloomy. It’s supposed to be a nice day with temps into the 70’s. Hope so, yesterday’s good forecast was a bust and it didn’t get out of the 50’s and was cloudy.

Did maintenance on my tow behind brush cutter yesterday including air in the rear tires. (Fronts are solid) Checked the manual for proper psi and all it said was to follow the tire sidewall limits. Filled the first one to 31 lbs fine, add air to the second and checked it at 20 psi. Added a little bit more the the damn tire blew out. Crazy???? Hmm, let’s see. Sunday afternoon before a holiday Monday. So it will be tomorrow before Les Schwab opens and hopefully I can get replacements. Did find some on Amazon but I really like the local Les Schwabs and try to support them if possible.

[dave77]

I've dealt with our local Les Schwab's before and they do have good customer service but I priced a set of new tires for my Miata last year and then looked at the same exact tires at Tire Rack. Tire Rack is now owned by Discount Tires and their price installed with all the same warranties, flat repair, free rotations and air checks was over $200 less than Schwab's.

I only put around a couple thousand miles a year on my Miata so it kind of sucks that I had to replace the tires that still had plenty of tread left but they were close to 10 years old.

" Vehicle manufacturers recommend tire replacement at 6 years.

Tire manufacturers' warranties expire at 6 years.

Tire manufacturers recommend replacement at 10 years, regardless of tread depth.

Discount Tire recommends that you replace your tires after 6 years of age, regardless of tread depth. For your safety, we will not service a tire that exceeds 10 years of age."
