So how do those wheels steer? I don't see any tie rods. Like a fifth wheel?

It sounds like it has been warmer in Norway than it has been here.

We had 86 here a couple weeks ago. It had been uncommonly cool up to then. Straight from the fridge to the oven.

I saw a kingbird the other day. Big flycatcher. Merlin will identify a picture you take of a bird. Too bad my phone (or me) isn't smart enough. I do need a new phone. Can't get weather or navigation either. Pretty lame. Should have bought one before they all became so big.

They would be doing that around me if the ground wasn't saturated. Orchards are being rutted up getting through with sprayers. It just starts to dry up and we get another inch or two.

We stayed at the upper power plant house that isn't there any more. If the dam broke I don't think you would have enough time to get up the hill fast enough. Not sure if thats why they tore it down. My ex's sister worked for the power company. Have you hiked up to the dam?

Gorgeous. Mild, low humidity, and a light breeze.

I've been told the state bird is the mosquito. I have been to Juneau in July. Not a one. Are you familiar with Juneau?

I wear long sleeves most of the time. I have a bit of sun allergy. Dad always did too. He said the Arabs never wore short sleeves in their climate.

Like wearing a covid mask in your car or riding your lawn mower. But I have hoods on sweatshirts that don't bother my vision or hearing. A Carhartt hood would do both. They are for artic style weather.

Soggy here as well. We won't be in the fields any time soon. Hoodies are great when the temps are low and the wind is blowing. Kind of ridiculous they are worn in warm weather.

Pics would be interesting, maybe good for some ideas.

There are caterpillars that can pack a nasty sting. They feed on bushes and trees. Friend went to ER with a sting. They asked him about using different soap.... blah blah. He finally got his phone out and brought up a picture and description of what bit him. Quite painful.

Cool. I will have to look again at a tree I have to take down. Might work. It has a lean for a building. If I use the anchor available to pull, it has a 20 foot White Oak in danger. My bud planted the oak 20 years ago. Been pondering using two pull ropes. One to get it committed to away...

We have Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks. Not nearly as bright, but still nice to see.
