Back home this morning (yesterday actually) and it’s a warm one. Clouds came in overnight keeping the low temp up and it’s 68. We are “supposed” to get maybe .25 inch of rain this morning but so far all I hear out there is crickets. (Literally

). Sure hope we get the rain as I have some non watered areas I want to mow but without rain it will be way too dusty.
Light steady rain went through here overnight. Supposedly about 1/4 inch. Open areas well wet down without getting muddy. Still dry under the tree canopy though. Satellite shows the front should be passing through Eastern Oregon/Washington about now or soon. Maybe you'll see some rain out of that.
61' and cloudy this morning. Maybe 78' later. Forecast is for 70's low 80's through Thursday. Friday maybe low 90's.

Morning, says 73 with 98% humidity, muggy as all get out.
May try for the gong after while, the sun is about to be in my face. Still early when I made the pic., but I did fire one round...missed.
The site needs to be adjusted. Last few times shooting it was in the yard. May you all have a good weekend.

Well, I mowed the spot up on the hill in the old hog lot. Then set a couple gongs up, yep. I need to get the sight readjusted.

56 and dawning a clear sky as I type. Nice day ahead as well as a nice week too. 80’s for the high this week and maybe 90 by the weekend. This coming Saturday I’ll be participating in my Union local’s annual sporting clays shoot to support The Guide Dogs of America, an organization that obtains and trains both the dog and the person receiving the dog for the blind. They also have a support dog division.
Yea, we got a nice rain yesterday that our friend Mags from Oregon sent us. Thanks Mags! Probably a quarter inch or more and it was a nice slow soaking rain. Much needed and I got some mowing done in some areas outside the yard.

I like those sentiments pictured Randy.
72F here, going to 80. It will cloud up, but maybe not rain.
Coffee in a Boy Scout mug this morning, George Winston playing softly. Copper and I are enjoying the deck this morning.
I will need to water the watermelons. They are woefully small for this stage of the game.
Mary should return from camp today, I returned earlier in the last week to work most of the weekend at the P/T job.
I hope you all enjoy your day today.

Thunderstorm rolled thru early this morning, too wet to mow so think I’ll watch the Little League World Series games this afternoon. Everyone have a great Sunday!

52 this morning, feels a bit cool out there on the patio. High around 80 later. Nice week ahead until the weekend when it’s going to get hot again. Mid 90’s for Saturday and Sunday.
Making a Costco run this morning and then washing the boat from last week’s fun. Got the motorhome cleaned inside and out yesterday and put to bed until the next outing. Nothing scheduled yet but we in the talking phase. I’m thinking about visiting the Olympic Peninsula on the Washington coast. Here’s a pic from 50 years ago, last time I was there. My wife has never visited.

56 and dawning a cotton candy colored sky. Nice day ahead with a high of 88 expected. Warming up by the weekend to hot…ugh.
I have a follow up appt with my doc this morning for my mild sinus infection. Was doing better last week but now that I’m done with my antibiotics I’m feeling it again. Then I plan to squeeze in a visit with my son who is in the hospital and had his ileostomy bag removed yesterday plus a stop at a guy’s house (John E Davies who used to post on here) to buy some 32 caliber reloading components before a 2:30 meeting for the HOA. Whew!

Morning, and another hot one, 73° to 99°. Then just low 90's for a few.
Grandson played his first ballgame of this season last night.
Playing 3rd base, caught a fly for the second out in the first inning. Then had a singlehand double play at third. Now that was cool.
They pkay again this afternoon.
How about from the deck. Pew! Ding!!

A big splat on a gong is so much better than a rooster making racket in the morning.
