Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Got home from town and the Warden turned into a slave driver......
Spent an hour or more with the young neighbor kid. Chewed his **** for not coming to me sooner. Apparently he has had visitors over the past several nights. They have taken a bunch of his gardening tools, a bag of fertilizer off his front porch and even took the nozzle off the end of his garden hose in the front yard.
I now have "black flash" cams set up watching his front and back yards including the garage and tool shed. Have them set for both video and 12 meg stills. His tree in the front yard won't be able to drop a leaf without getting a picture taken.

Good morning Pat and those to follow.
Pat that's what I like about being on the Oregon Coast that 55° body of water keeps the temperature mild.

Morning Chris. Honestly, the heat doesn't bother me a bit. I'm not a fan of humidity, though. I'll solve that problem tomorrow. Driving the family to Colorado, should be a lot drier up in the mountains!

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 56.5°, with a high thin layer of overcast.
The 'live' stakeout last night into this morning was fruitless. Will check and see what kind of 'animals' the trail cameras picked up after we called it a morning.
They did leave the garden hose even though they took the multi-pattern nozzle off the end of the hose. My own personal thoughts are that they have already taken most everything he had in the line of garden tools that weren't locked up or nailed down, so any return trips would make me start thinking this is more a revenge thing than anything else.

Good afternoon John.
Sunny and warm here today. I spent most of the day out with a high school youth crew clearing blackberry vines and hawthorn from a property line between one of our hiking/biking trails and a private landowner. We got a lot done, but have plenty more to finish up tomorrow. There is a fair amount of poison oak mixed in there also, so I hope I don't get a rash.
One of the other landowners adjacent to the trail where we were working was busy tending to his dozen (at least) pot plants all day. He probably isn't too happy that we opened up a good view of his operation from the trail.
