Northern weather

[E7]

Quite pleasant here in Southern PA y'all. Lower 80's which feels wonderful after a long stretch of 90's, sometimes with humidity. Could definitely use some rain. That said, last I checked there are no boojums or saguaros taking root in the back yard. It can stay like this until it gets nice.

We're having a cool wave today. Before the "storm" we had 69 days of 90+ temperatures. Most wre in the upper 90s and several into the 100s.
Today it is only 87 so we turned the ac off.

Rufus,
I'm glad to see that your old "self" has returned.

Yes, and I've spent most of he afternoon on a ladder painting/staining the deck now - blew out a vein in my thumb and there's just another bonus item....swelled up and purple/blue...

[rogruth]

How do you do that?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

How do you do that?

Climb a ladder? Paint?

Oh, the vein in the thumb? Spontaneous.....

[healey36]

Spent the last two weeks painting the garage. It's been a sporadic effort, having twisted the bejeebers out of my knee at some point. The worst is over (the garage, not the knee) with just a bit more than one side left to paint along with three windows.

As I've grown older and more portly, 90+ degree temps sap the life from me. Don't know how you do it Roger...

Take care of that thumb Rufus.

Take care of that thumb Rufus.

An annoyance - swollen and discolored.

Back up on the ladder in a few hours if only to kill what remains in a 5 gallon bucket.

[rogruth]

Bucket of what??????

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Bucket of what??????

Paint/stain. My son might even show up to watch since he and ladders are non-compatible....

[rogruth]

OK. I thought it might be a bucket of Porter that had been mentioned.
Oh wait. You don't live in this area where some think buckets of beer and ladders mix.
No, I don't have any good stories about that event but it has happened.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

OK. I thought it might be a bucket of Porter that had been mentioned.

A bucket of Porter would have been preferable; the 5 gallon bucket of paint/stain was used until empty....now I need a bucket of Advil.

The doc advises one can ingest up to 2400mg of Advil in a 24-hour period. Not to be done in perpetuity but for two to three weeks is okay he says. Get on that regimen and you'll feel like you can run a marathon (of course when it wears off I feel like someone has taken hold of my kneecap with a pair of pliers).

The robins and wrens disappeared a couple weeks ago and we have large flocks of migrating geese on the pond. Seems early this year for geese-on-the-move.

Yes, for most folks what might seem like large amounts are reasonably acceptable; I try ti take no more of anything than needed for me to function well.

I still have woodpeckers...........

[rogruth]

Most woodpeckers don't migrate from your area. So no change.

If anything, they are moving into the area!
