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.

More rain. Keeping it saturated.

One would think that Stihl would do their R&D a bit better. The 201 was a bust and they didn't stand behind it. I still don't care for their flippys. Easy to overfill the oil and prone to collecting debris that can get in oil. I could think of more.

Is that a Welch plug? Did you loctite the throttle butterfly screw? I have a 200 that needs some work.

Just had a big bowl of fresh green beans. Love em. I grow pole beans that make it more fun to pick. I bought a 2 lb bag the other day, grown in US, and cost about $6. Not quite as good as homegrown, but beats frozen ones. Can't wait to plant tomatoes and beans and beets. Usually pumpkins...

Looks like one of those wavy man figures they put out to catch your eye for advertising.

Lee Zeldin, head of the EPA, appointed former chemical company executives and others with the opposite view on pollution to be chiefs. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/climate/epa-staff-oil-gas-chemical-industry-lobbyists.html

It always seemed kind of risky looking to tell other civilizations where to find us. We can't even get along with our own kind.

I had a nasty head cold that has settled in my chest. I thought it might be flu or covid with how achy I was in the beginning No fever. Going on 2 weeks. Making me drag ass.

20 this morning. The record is 16.

48" of rain on Oahu. Can't imagine.
