Good Morning All. Cloudy and 75° with 82% humidity. Although it's starting out rather warm this morning, it is only expected to reach 80° today and 66° tomorrow. Chance of rain for the next five days maybe totaling 2.5". I hope so as the garden needs it and it has been too windy to use the sprinkler.
Still at it trying to catch up with the mowing yesterday. Everything has been cut back to about 6.5" and about a half acre has been cut to normal 3.5" height. There is actually part of the "back 40" that hasn't been done yet, but that's not unusual even when the mower isn't in the shop. The pool is operating normally and was quite refreshing the last two days. It's kinda early this season, but the removal of the 40 year old Ash tree that used to shade it in the morning has allowed it to warm up more rapidly. Checked out the accuracy of the pool thermometer yesterday to find that it's actually registering 1° higher than it actually is. So the water was really 82° yesterday instead of 83°. Need rain there as well to top off the water level.

Out in the train shed yesterday, I started adding window treatments to the bank windows. I took some pictures of trains for "Front End Friday" but forgot to post them. They'll wait until next Friday.
Here are a couple of shots of the north wall in the train shed.
OB Ken - My oldest grandson started 10th grade in the fall. Among other things, he is the "first cellist" in the school orchestra. He bought two tickets to the orchestra banquet and much to my daughter's surprise, he took his girlfriend instead of his mother who actually paid for the tickets!
Jeff - Interesting about the tolls to Savannah. They have eliminated all cash tolls in Texas and even if you are from out of state, they just take a picture and send the bill.
Troy - You're not alone with three times a week laundry for two people. I do four, but one is devoted to the bed linens only.
Dave B - While I can't say that I have experienced the shaved head thing, I haven't actually shaved anywhere in 50 years.
Guy - Regarding the windshield thing. Looking at what you posted, you just need more practice. But even then it doesn't always work out. In the car that I made the tutorial with, that one did not work out to my satisfaction. It was my first experience with Elmer's Glue. Despite my best efforts, that one dried a bit cloudy. So I did the passenger side windshield with Aleenes Tacky Glue. Much better and I suspect that any canopy glue would also work out well.
Everybody have a wonderful day.
