Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
Another cool morning at 42. Seems like the sun is struggling to pop thru a light cloud layer so it’s not as bright as normal. Still expecting a nice day with highs in the 70’s. Then the warm up begins with a steady increase in highs leading to 89 on Monday. Too warm too fast. No rain on the horizon.
Due to all the issues with my son and his possible surgery (he should find out this morning) we decided to postpone our trip to CA. So I put the garage sale work on hold and did a bunch of weed spraying on my gravel driveway. I’m way late on the spraying and it was looking pretty ugly out there.

Off to the big city this morning, my wife has a haircut and I will peruse the pawnshops looking for a bargain on something I don’t really need. Everyone have a great day!

Cloudy cool and a high of 59 today. Cant seem to get into a weather rythum around here so I can ride outside. Got about a 1/2 inch of rain overnight. Maybe tomorrow I can go shoot more ammo up and test out a rear adjustable sight I put on one of my CZ 9mm.

Re: Our Morning Coffee and Weather
I also have a bunch of weed spraying I need to get done but it's been to windy the last few days. Needed a new sprayer and splurged on a battery powered one. Will make it a lot easier and faster not having to stop and hand pump it.
Seems well made, even has a metal wand. $100 with a 5 year warranty. Comparable hand pump sprayers were around $50.

That Kolbalt looks like a good unit Dave. I hate pumping too.
The warm up is starting with a nice 50 and sunny this morning. High should see the mid 70’s, a real pleasant day for sure.
Today’s adventures include some extensive weed whacking with both a walk behind and a hand held. Then a visit with my son in the hospital. He is supposed to hear about surgery or not tomorrow (Thursday). Ugh!
Yesterday my younger dog was in the backyard and started barking pretty seriously. I stepped outside to see what the commotion was about and saw this bull moose about 50’ from my fence. No camera of course. He wandered off heading in the direction of my trail so I grabbed my phone and followed him. Caught up to him pretty quickly and took some pics. I didn’t dare get any closer and this pic was taken with 5X zoom.

70* at 5am. Me and the Pug started our day on the back deck with a hot cup of coffee listening to the birds and watching the squirrels. Made some biscuits around 6. Had some sorghum on mine. Wife had strawberry jam on her's.
