Moisture
« on: January 15, 2011, 02:50:59 PM »
Alice said she heard we could get up to 4" of rain in the next 24 hours or so.  I have been out in the stuff all morning and feel like I had most of it already fall on me. Been washing Oak logs, placing sawed lumber in the air drying area, moving sawdust with the tractor, to prep cleaning out from under the mill with leaf blower, visited with a couple of my past students for a bit (they came for a visit) nd just came in for lunch.

The last several days have been in the low 50s and rather warm for the time of year.  Sevaral days were very foggy, with visability about a 100 yards.  Yesterday I worked most all day without any jacket at all.   ;D

 YEP, I recollect them days. I used to climb Power poles and work all day and night, for several days straight, just so folks could be comfortable in their all electric homes.  ::) ::) ::) ::)

 It's especially nice, when you have to go up those transmission towers and work above the treetops, in 30-40 MPH winds, during snow storms. Talk about stuff being slick.  :o :o ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

 Yeah, I really miss that stuff.

 I'm sitting here wearing only sawed off jeans, sipping hot coffee, and thinking about all y'all in that nice balmy weather y'all are having.  ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 I also have a small guest house on my to-do list.  Think very primitive housing, then you won't be surprised at how we live.

 I have had big 2300 sq-ft houses, and a smaller house is MUCH less upkeep and maintenance.

 Trying to get an addition on my shop built.  Damn rains have returned, presumably from the upper storms that travel to the north, dragging the Pacific ocean moisture over us.

 Steve, you are welcome to visit anytime.
