Good Morning All. Clear skies and 51°, should make 78° later today. Should be like yesterday with moderate winds of 12-15 mph from the south. This is a perfect day weatherwise for Rev.
Steve J's trip into Dallas. Temperatures in the 80's for the foreseeable future. Maybe rain again on Monday. This morning should be the last morning with the temperature in the 50's until October. Today should also be the last day with a high temperature in the 70's until September. I've got to reach under the pool cover and check the temperature of the water real soon, to determine whether it's time to remove it and get the pool ready. I already purchased all of the needed acid and chlorine for the whole season. Both have been and still are in short supply since 2020. However the price here has not gone up.
Around the estate, the ground is still too soft for mowing with the tractor, despite all of the standing water disappearing Monday. I need to buy a small push mower for some areas anyway. I did use the weedeater for a while around the porch and along parts of the house yesterday.
I observed in the garden that those broccoli plants that I posted yesterday were fully recovered from the beat-down by the rain. View from the other side with some flourishing tomato plants in the foreground.
In the back of the scene, is my now much reduced wildflower meadow. I took 800 sq.ft. out of production when I moved the garden.
Different species in another location.
I am waiting to see the Indian Blankets (not Paintbrushes) show up soon. They are a May wildflower here. I get three or four other species here depending on the spring conditions.
Thanks as always for the likes and comments regarding the post yesterday.

It has been about a week since I ran trains, so that was my main focus yesterday in the train shed. I also revived a lethargic project from last year that I halted when my wife had her series of surgeries. I had started painting some bicycles and got this far.
Please also note that I changed the piece of cardboard on the workbench surface.
Can't tell in the picture, but there are many cuts in it.
OK, a kinda fuzzy picture, but this is where I am on the bicycles.
Tom O - Why booster #2? I have had the first three, but my doc said that I shouldn't need the 2nd booster. I'm just looking for other's opinions and experiences. I may be lucky or just immune right now. Neither my wife or I have gotten Covid although both SIL's and one grandson tested positive either before or after a birthday party for my wife in early February.
Terry - Goodness! Not only was the telephone lineman not wearing a life preserver, but he did not have a fall harness on either!
That's my thrice attended OSHA 30 hour training course showing through.
Dave B - A splitting maul! Good for you. Try that on one of these.
I already used the chainsaw on the left side. I stopped using the maul after breaking a handle and missing a nearby window by inches. Still get a good workout with the sledge and wedge.
Ken (D&J) - I think that you did the right thing calling the police in the case of the person between the tracks.
Tom - I have no issues with CA glue. Like
Dave B, I use Gorilla brand and I apply a drop on a small piece of glass (remember I was in the window business) and usually use a toothpick to apply. If I need more precision or lesser quantity, I have a broken stub of a .020" drill bit that I use for application. It wipes off the glass with a paper towel, or if I let it dry, a single-edge razor blade or an Exacto knife will easily get it off.
National Prime Rib Day is today. I have one in the freezer but we will probably go to Outback and let them cook tonight.
Everybody have a great day.
