Good morning friends. 52 here right now heading to 70. So sunny out it hurts your eyes! Supposed to have about 2 more days of sun, then rain for the next two weeks! Anyhoo, hope you all have a good day, I gotta go to my bank, my hobby account got hacked and have to transfer some cash over and reset everything. Annoying, but that's why I have a completely separate online account from my main accounts, so it' not  a disaster, just a pain.

[Major 2]

Been there, and same strategy I use.
I call it my mad stash sox drawer.

[Delmonico]

Still need rain here, we got not near enough and the storms go north and south of us, so close you can see the clouds. 

[Major E A Sterner]

I'd send you a large quantity of what we've been getting, I've pumped about 3 inches total of water out of my garage so far.

[Delmonico]

Well it's stupid us being in a red flag so bad we have a total burning ban and 30 miles away they have a flash flood warning.

We almost lost Rock Creek Station 2 weeks ago, even on mowed grass it takes big cajones to fight a wooded creek bottom and prairie fire head on.  They saved it and these people are volunteers.  My daughter and SIL didn't get called out but several in their area did, they were kept close to home in reserve.  Burnt 2600 acres, a big fire for SE Nebraska, open enough area no buildings were destroyed. And I mean beside the park.

Next project, off to Home Depot,
I need a cordless pole chain saw, I have several -several Ryobi tools and batteries that have served me well.
So, I guess that is the brand I spring for,
I considered the Bauer (Harbour Freight @ about 1/2 the price)
But its tool only, and a battery or two and its proprietary charger for same will up the Ante to within $30.

Now that I'm retired and seemingly without direction (someone else's ummm opinion that is)
I have the honey do's and projects in abundance apparently.

[DeaconKC]

Good morning all, sunny and getting warmer already, supposed to hit 75 today. Roger, I switched to Ryobi tools some years back when I found out they don't change battery sizes, so you can use the same batteries in everything. Been very pleased so far with them. Hope you all have a fine day.

[Major 2]

I actually, switched the production shop over when Ryobi went with the "ONE" battery years ago.
I bought the 4 tool bag sets for each of the Road Job boxes, and several sets for the shop.

I personally have a variety of the tools...from several Drills & Impacts to leaf blower and brad gun.
A 18v compressor in the SUV & Sawall, Jig Saw and a couple of Circular saws.

I pick up the Pole saw this afternoon and will use the batteries I just got last week.

Thanks for the joe, had mine with a toasted ham & cheese.

Running the significant others SUV in for an oil change, 21-point check and tire rotation.
I used to do it myself but find no real satisfaction wrenching on cars like I did in my hot-rodding days.

I held a Sportscar Club of America competition license, and raced an Austin Healey & MGB and later a
Mustang.
These cars today are a computer controlled, way outside my wheelhouse, I just drive don't pretend to know how they work!

Morning all.

60 and overcast, headed to 65 here in the Trinity River Valley.

Plans for today include pulling out the weed whacker and cleaning up the yard a bit.

Del, I just talked to a friend that works for BLM (the one that puts fires out), and apparently he was in your neck of the woods fighting that fire. Was only there for two days before they kicked him off the incident -something about excess resources and not being needed anymore. Gotta love the government.

Good evening folks. Hit 77 here today and sunny, just a beautiful day. Spent it at work, we're shorthanded so there was no lunch break today, just some beef sticks. Anyway, wondering if the former employee will actually show up tomorrow, he is kinda conceited, so it's always a crap shoot depending on him.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are ready.

'Tis 39 and partly sunny. High of 67.

I'm just gonna say the cliché   " May the fourth be with you "

Hard to believe the first episode of "STARWARS" was made nearly 50 years ago 
and the franchise is still being produced with new feature films being planned.

Enjoy the day 74° now, headed to 84°

Probably a polite way of telling him and the Government we got it fine.

Good evening all, got to 75 today and looks like we are gonna have rain the next 10 days! Anyhow, gonna watch the War Wagon in a minute and relax. Might put some coffee on too. Had three little broken guns show up today for a shadowbox display, should turn out nice.
