    Good morning! The farm is as ready as it can be for Helene. Looks like early Friday morning will be when it will have the most impact there, appears to be forecast to make landfall as a major hurricane to the west of us.
    Here in St. Pete, we will be dealing with storm surge on Thursday and into Friday. Today is the day to get things done. I'll be securing the boat and clearing the patio.

    "Come on down to Hurricane Land!"

    Jim wish you the best on your places!

    Well, our lovely weather was short lived. Back into low 90s high 80s for the next 10 days. Guess I won’t have to deal with shutting down the sprinkler system for a while! Oh well that’s weather!

    Kettlebell day! Then maybe yard work cutting back iris, trimming limbs, hauling off oil to recycle center, blowing off patios and walk ways, picking up raccoon poop (not my favorite thing to do!). Just general piddling outside. Hmmm…maybe I need to dig out the raccoon dog proof traps and just eliminate a few?

    Coffee tastes exceptional this morning. I must have gotten the perfect amount in.

    Have a great day everyone! Try to care for yourselves a bit by doing something you enjoy.

    :( on your wife's update Tom, challenging for sure!

    Good luck on getting the book published David, looks like there are a lot of interesting places to visit down there.

    :fingerscrossed: for you Jim, haven't had a major hurricane event in our area in a long time, just remnants, and hope it stays that way.

    Good luck on getting the book published David. Doubt I'll ever make it out there, but I'm sure it will help a lot of folks out.

    :fingerscrossed: for everyone in the path of mother nature's fury.

    :wave: welcome. New guy fills the cooler and just stay out of Mike's recliner

    Happy to hear you are enjoying my Baja projects!
    I also write a (near) monthly short story/article for Baja Bound Insurance's online bulletin. They are about Baja trips, locations, historic stories, the missions, and people of Baja. There are 110 published so far! I have grouped them by subject with direct links: https://vivabaja.com/baja-travel-adventures/

    David, with all the petroglyph and pictograph areas, did you ever find any arrowheads, I would think there would be an abundance of them.

    Hmmm.. two young racoons on the deck dark-thirty yesterday am. Don't want that to get that started again, so set up traps at first light, no evidence this morning. Hopefully they were just passing through. Nasty critters.
