I noticed this leaf sticking to the door of the pole barn and then realized it wasn't leaf
at all. I have never seen anything like this.

That IS a very strange looking moth. I saw a couple up at the cottage last year and like you said, I also thought it was a leaf.

Probably a 'Blinded Sphinx' with wings folded. Have you seen it with wings unfolded? There would be eye looking spots on the expanded wings.

Woke up this morning in Malibu Ca. We’re in an rv park just across the Pacific Coast Hwy from Malibu beach. There was a marine layer this morning but it has burned off and it’s sunny and nice. With the offshore breeze it probably won’t get too hot.

This inlander has to admit to something. When we got here last night I kept hearing this roar which sounded like a big wind gust. Couldn’t figure it out until I looked at the ocean and saw the surf pounding the shore. Damn mountain boys anyway.

I'm glad I did all the yard work yesterday. Carol has two brothers and a sister
in southern Florida and it sounds like they're getting a good soaking down
there. So far they all say they're all right though.

Temps in the 50's here with som welcome rain. Next week looks warmer. I'll keep doing a rain dance once in awhile just to help keep things green.

I bought a rain gauge earlier this month. When I went to bed last night it had about .65” in it for the one week it’s been out. It surprised me this morning. The weather app said we received .7” in the last 24 hours.

It's just about 75 F which is what's called for today.
a
Coffee is in the John Deere mug. Just a touch of Amoretto in the third cup of the morning.

Mowing the lawn on the John Deere this AM. I hope to shoot my new to me Ruger Security Six today. A range report should follow later.

I wish a Happy Father's day to all our male members who play a role in a child's life.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Low 30's early this morning with some snow in the high country.

I hope to shoot my new to me Ruger Security Six today. A range report should follow later.

I purchased a Security Six back in the 70s and after some tuning it was a tack driver. In fact I used to do
shooting demos with it. Reluctantly I sold it to a cousin who wanted to hunt deer with it. Then he died.
I asked his widow to sell it back to me, but I guess she can't find it.

It's a well made six gun.

I can't build an ark but am reviewing plans for pontoons on the Winnebago.

Over three inches in the last three days.
