Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Hit 94 while I was stupid enough to be working on a project outside with little to no shade.


No need for a fork - I know I'm "well done".

I've done a couple of those ceiling fan "honey do's" project. First one got pretty exciting. You ought to see how fast one of those things spin when it gets wired into a 220 circuit by mistake! Light bulbs only last a couple of seconds but wow, does that fan ever circulate the air!

Surprised the heck out of me that we didn't look in the mirror and see it being drug down the road behind us! I may end up having to take it into the $$$$RV$$$$ shop to get it fixed. I'll probably have to go to them for parts at least as I can't seem to find that mounting bracket on the net.


You'll be able to recognize me this coming Friday! I'll be the rig that has the bailing twine holding the awning onto the side of the camper! I'll dig around the barn and see if I can find a variety of colors. Should be able to come up with some orange, green and blue!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Another hot day in store for me. It's going to be a sweaty day today. I have to jackhammer a hole on a rural street. I imagine I'll be wringing wet before 1000.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 61.4° and climbing rapidly on its way to what the fortune tellers say will be 90°. Chris, send some of those clouds across the mountain!

Tiny, I take it you are not the boss now? If you were, you could supervise the jack hammering from the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle!

Evening gang.

Worked my backside off today.

Dug a hole and uncovered a stone that was set in 1916.

You can see the + that was chiseled into the top and the "R" on the east face.




Then, I placed a monument box over the marker and set it in concrete.

Did the clouds make it over? We got in to the low 70's today.
